GroundHogg Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) I read the TC 2010 has a "wet belt", but the mechanic I took it to recently insisted it had a timing chain and not a belt. Well, manual says "drivebelt"... so how hard is it to change a drivebelt? Edited September 28, 2013 by GroundHogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cat Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 A service writer at Freehold Ford, in NJ, told me that it is a chain. Some websites mention a belt. I turned to www.FordParts.com as the official Ford Parts supplier to settle the question. I went to the website and entered my VIN, so that there would be no question about it at all. FordParts.com will sell me a timing chain, a timing chain tensioner arm, a timing belt guide plate and a timing belt tensioner arm. How nice! Now we are both confused.

103west43rd Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 All USA Transit Connects use a timing chain. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertlane Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The next generation engines, I believe will use a chain as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Cat Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That is all good news. Belts are a pain to replace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
