2013 (63 plate) 1 litre Ecoboost Ford B Max wet belt change.
This is my eldest daughters car and it will be ten years old next September in 2023. The car has only done 25k miles from new and she is the second owner.
It has FSH and I was talking to her about the wet belt will need changing at some point when it's ten years old next September ish.
Now I am led to believe this is a right PITA to do as it's time consuming and depending where you go can be expensive.
To replace the wet belt you have to strip down the top side and bottom of the engine to be able to access the wet belt and the oil pump belt and to be able to fit the correct timing tools.
Anybody ever done one and time wise how long are we talking and costs please. I've been told it aint cheap.
Somebody I know won't do these because of the time it takes and the special tools required.

…..that’s why we went for the 1.25 engine when we got ours….( got about 18500 miles on the clock….)..when I found out the 1.0 l fiesta had a 3 cyl engine we nearly walked away….till the dealer told us about the Zetec model they had tucked away…” Oh yes! We’ll have that one please…”
