No, it is specifically designed for the Ford Focus Mk3 1.5 TDCi engine produced between 2014 and 2020.
The belt is made from HNBR (hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber) reinforced with fiberglass tensile cords.
No, this product is the timing belt only. It is recommended to inspect the water pump and tensioner separately.
It is strongly advised to use engine timing locking tools to ensure the crankshaft and camshaft remain in the correct position during the swap.
The Gates 5688XS features 141 teeth.
The total length of the belt is 1343 mm.
Check belt tension; an over-tightened belt can cause premature wear on pulleys and bearings.
Verify that the tensioner assembly is functioning correctly and correctly calibrated per engine specifications.
Inspect all pulleys for misalignment or debris that may be cutting into the belt edge.
To ensure compatibility, always use the vehicle make/model tool to verify that your specific engine variant matches the Ford Focus Mk3 1.5 TDCi produced between 2014 and 2020. Before installation, ensure the engine is set to Top Dead Center (TDC) and use the manufacturer-recommended locking tools. When handling the belt, avoid sharp bends or kinking, as this can damage the internal fiberglass cords. Once installed, ensure proper tension is applied according to the Ford service manual. It is highly recommended to replace the entire timing kit, including the tensioner and idler pulleys, whenever the belt is replaced to prevent premature wear.
