What is the replacement interval for the Mondeo's timing belt?
1 Answers
The timing belt of the Mondeo generally needs to be replaced every 100,000 kilometers or so. Below are the steps for replacing the timing belt: 1. Remove the valve cover, detach the crankshaft pulley, and take off the timing chain cover. Rotate the crankshaft to position the first cylinder at top dead center, then secure the crankshaft with a fixed wire. 2. Rotate the intake and exhaust camshafts. There are grooves at the rear of the camshafts; align the grooves of both camshafts evenly and insert the specialized tool. 3. Remove the old chain and install the new one. The crankshaft pulley does not have a keyway. During installation, align the round hole on the pulley with the groove on the timing chain cover. 4. The crankshaft position sensor is adjustable. Ensure there is no gap during installation, and the crankshaft sprocket and pulley should rotate freely.
