Zetec engines are one of the best engines ford ever made 💪

It is good to see in this video, how the garage do basic stuff to the car like for example draining the coolant.

Just watched the bit where you took the headlight out right at the start, seeing all that rust I hope you didn't be lazy and I hope you actually sorted that rust rather than leaving it to Rust;)

What a pleasure that older zetec engine was the best they did for me a pleasure to work on and then came the wet belt aaarrrrrggggg

Woodruff key for me all day long on the crankshaft pulley. I remember changing the timing belt on my XR3i with the CVH engine. Piece of cake and no special timing tools required. Bring back the old days of simplicity.

1.25 was bullet proof as well 👍

I know I keep repeating myself but I absolutely love the way you take the time to clean wipe and scotch bright the parts ❤❤ really like watching your videos

I definitely wish Ford would have kept this engine.

Zetec SE, Yamaha and Ford collaboration. High revving. Good torque. Well made. You can get 200bhp out of the 1.6 NA - if you have 13k to spend 😂

I'm sure the 12.56, the 1.4 and the 1.6 were Yamaha designed engines 🤔 fantastic video too .. as always

And then they make an engine with a wet belt, crazy.

Gotta say, been considering doing mine soon but heard horror stories of the floating crank etc.

Oh how wrong I was, that looks simple compared to some I’ve done 😂 I’ll be doing it myself now, cheers for the vid, real confidence booster watching someone make it look so easy 🤝

Had one of these, did over 150,000 and it never failed me.

The ford zetec engines were great  and the bigger 1.8 2.0 were even better my mk1 focus is on 205k and still going strong

Own two cars Focus/Fiesta 19/20 Years old.
Both with the Zetec 1.6/1.4.
Service timing belt, oil,sparkplugs.For the Focus i use the volvo enginecover to prevent incoming water into the sparkplug housing.A known problem.
Thats it.
Never had any engineproblems.
Really one of the best engines.

Always good to watch someone else work and do exactly what you do💪🏽 gives a little ego boost😂 smashed it mate🤙🏽

Baz, great video it would be lovely to see you tighten that bottom crack bolt up, to just see how you do it mate

Great video. Just bought a low mileage Zetec S myself and a cambelt change will be one of the first jobs. I think Ill be good doing it myself, looks straight forwards enough and the access is great. I agree that these are probably Fords best engine, had a few variations in cars over the years and they are ultra reliable and easy to work on.

I did 150k in a Fiesta zetec 1.25 . Never burnt oil . Great car . I also had the Zetec S another great car . I currently have the Ford Puma 1.5 ST in Mean Green and seems to be a great car so far .

Like watching a magician at work!
