Which vehicles does this cover?
Ford introduced this chain-driven version of the 1.0-litre EcoBoost on later Fiesta, Focus and Puma models, specifically to move away from the earlier wet belt's known failure issues. Because the same model names span both engine generations, registration/VIN confirmation is required before booking to confirm which version your vehicle has.

Signs your 1.0 EcoBoost timing chain needs attention
- A rattling or ticking noise from the front of the engine, particularly noticeable on cold start-up
- Engine management light with camshaft/crankshaft timing correlation fault codes
- Rough running, hesitation or reduced power
- In advanced cases, difficulty starting or the engine failing to start
