Timing Belt Kit for Ford EcoSport 1.5L Diesel – Gates

Keep your Ford EcoSport 1.5L Diesel engine running in perfect sync with this Gates PowerGrip Timing Belt Kit (Part No. FDV5SBDSK8629). It is the correct OE-equivalent solution for the 1.5L 4-cylinder TDCi diesel engine, engineered for accurate timing and dependable performance.

A timing belt is one of the most critical components in your engine. It synchronises the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring the valves open and close at exactly the right moment relative to the pistons. On an interference diesel engine, a worn or snapped belt can bend valves and cause serious, expensive internal damage — so replacing the complete system on schedule is one of the smartest ways to protect your engine.

This is a complete kit, not just a belt. Gates recommends replacing all wear components together to restore correct tension, prevent premature failure, and avoid repeat labour costs.

Recommended Usage: Replace as per Ford service guidelines for the 1.5 TDCi diesel engine.
