Ford Transit EcoBlue Timing Belt Replacement in Dundee – Expert Service from Buttars Loan Service Centre Ltd

At Buttars Loan Service Centre Ltd, we specialise in timing belt replacement for Ford Transit and Transit Custom 2.0L EcoBlue engines. As an experienced and trusted garage in Dundee, Scotland, we understand the specific maintenance requirements of the EcoBlue engine range and offer a professional, manufacturer-compliant service using genuine Ford parts and the correct tooling.

If you own a Ford Transit, Transit Custom, or Tourneo with a 2.0L EcoBlue diesel engine, it is vital to understand the revised timing belt service interval and take proactive steps to prevent costly engine damage caused by premature belt failure.

Why Ford EcoBlue Timing Belt Replacement Is Critical

Ford Motor Company UK has revised its guidance regarding timing belt replacement intervals for EcoBlue engines due to reports of premature wear and delamination of the wet timing belt. This type of belt runs internally in engine oil, and its lifespan can be significantly affected by oil contamination, degradation, and dilution – especially in vehicles subject to short journeys, poor-quality oil changes, or extended service intervals.

As a result, the official timing belt replacement schedule has been reduced to 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first – down from previous intervals.

What We Replace – Complete EcoBlue Timing Belt Service Package

At Buttars Loan Service Centre Ltd, we don’t just replace the timing belt – we offer a comprehensive service package to ensure your Ford Transit EcoBlue engine continues to run reliably and efficiently. Our service includes:

• ✅ Replacement of the main wet timing belt (cambelt)
• ✅ Replacement of the tensioner and idler pulleys
• ✅ Replacement of the oil pump drive belt (also a wet belt – essential for long-term reliability)
• ✅ Drain and refill with genuine Ford engine oil
• ✅ Replacement of the oil filter with a genuine part
• ✅ Reset of the timing service indicators (if required)

We always follow Ford’s recommended procedures and torque settings, using specialised tooling to ensure a precise and safe installation.

Signs Your Timing Belt May Be at Risk

While premature failure can occur without warning, there are some signs that may suggest a timing belt issue in EcoBlue engines:

• Rattling or ticking noise from the engine
• Reduced engine performance
• Engine warning light illuminated
• Metal or rubber debris in the oil
• Oil degradation due to extended service intervals

If you're approaching or over the 6-year or 100,000-mile mark, it’s essential to book a timing belt replacement as a preventative measure – even if no warning signs are present.
