It is recommended to replace the timing belt of Ford Escort at a professional repair shop. Here are the relevant details: 1. Insufficient Tension: If the amount of depression is too large, it indicates insufficient belt tension. If there is almost no depression, it indicates excessive belt tension. Insufficient tension can easily cause the belt to slip. Excessive tension can easily damage the bearings of various auxiliary machines. Therefore, the relevant adjustment nuts or bolts should be loosened to adjust the belt tension to the optimal state. 2. Wear Condition: The wear condition of the belt: old belts with severe wear reduce the contact area between the belt and the pulley sharply. At this point, applying slight pressure on the belt will cause it to sink deeply into the pulley groove. The rubber of the belt also faces aging issues. If the belt rubber is severely aged, it is necessary to replace the new belt in time.
