Then have a good old fashioned manual tensioner on the top idler. that runs on the outside of the belt. Or even a spring with a bolt on the inside, so instead of a direct clamping.
My thought on the life expectancy of the ford mondeo mk5 2l diesel timing chain and a rough guide to how much the parts will cost to do the job.
Mondeo Mk 4 2.2 Cambelt change issues. I am currently in the process of changing the cambelt and waterpump on my 2008 MK 4. Its just done 100k and older than the 10 year recommended replacement interval. I have locked the timing in place with cam and flywheel pins, marked the old cam belt up before I removed it so I could transfer to new belt.

I have a 2009 2.2. TDCi Mondeo and had the timing belt replaced few months back. I purchased the parts myself: - Gates belt kit which includes belt, tensioner and idler pulley. - SKF coolant pump. - coolant. - serpentine belt. The workshop quoted 195 € (= 3hrs work) for the job. The parts cost roughly 120 €. 42 posts · Joined 2017. #1 · Jul 2, 2022. 2008 Mk4 Mondeo. 2.0 litre TDCI Auto. How often do I need to replace the timing belt? It was done at 113,000 miles.
