Zahnriemen Wechsel bei Ford Fiesta 1.4Tdci JH1?
Liebe Community!
Hab den Erstbesitz Ford Fiesta JH1 meines Großvaters vererbt bekommen. Er stand immer in der Garage und wurde nur für sehr sorgsame, gelegentliche Pendler Fahrten von ca 50km pro Strecke verwendet und kam in seinen 16 Jahren so auf einen Kilometerstand von 80.000 km. Baujahr ist also 2005, altes Modell vor Facelift. Er ist in absolut neuwertigem Zustand laut Mechaniker.
Beim Zahnriemen ist sich dieser aber nicht ganz sicher ob er aufgrund des Alters gewechselt werden muss. Der Intervall ist ja 240.000km bzw 10 Jahre (!). Daher würde ich normalerweise sofort wechseln aber ich bin zurzeit mehr als knapp bei Kasse und aufgrund der langen KM Lebensdauer des Zahnriemens und der äußerst pfleglichen Behandlung des Autos wollte ich euch fragen ob Hoffnung besteht, dass ich ihn vielleicht doch noch ein paar Jahre ohne der Investition fahren könnte? Oder ganz gefährlich? Hat da jemand explizite Erfahrung mit diesem Modell oder Zahnriemen? Ich fahre ca. 10-15TKM/Jahr, lasse immer gut warm werden und vor dem abstellen noch nachlaufen.
Vielen lieben Dank, wünsche allen eine schöne Woche 😀

Congratulations to this great Fiesta – this series was excellent and is very robust in every respect. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of pleasure when you look after him.
However, the belt should be changed without delay for driving pleasure and good “ford movement” as far as possible – in addition to the tensioning roller and water pump. If the change date is unknown, you should immediately proceed – the intervals are not entirely without reason; the rubber becomes brittle and teary with the years alone. Unfortunately, many workshops, especially “free”, shy the change at low running performances according to the motto “man drives only soooo little” – for this reason, fewer drivers often do not carry out inspections for many years, but at best change of oil and filter with short visibility. Here you have to watch.
If the fiesta has only been completely maintained or there are no records of the last five years, you should act immediately and not only change the gear set, but carry out a large inspection. Ford is never particularly expensive, even the retailers are working at human costs compared to VW or Skoda companies.
If it clamps on the money, you can buy the set taking into account the chassis number at the part trader and install it privately by someone who earns it or commissions a free workshop. But “no money” from my point of view is not an option – especially if it is a well-maintained car that still has a lot to do with this investment.
Thanks for the nice and detailed answer! Be sure to pick up my workshop as soon as possible and make the change quite safe. Hanging on the car and it really goes without any mosquitoes and that’s also economical, it deserves a more accurate inspection:-D
But you like – you do what you can. To change: That sounds reasonable what you write, I would do it. In the inspection, the change of brake fluid would be important. It is hygroscopic, i.e. it attracts water.
I also had such an inheritance from my big aunt, an old BMW, who was over 20 years old and had only 105,000 kilometers on the clock, and handled it similar. He was almost around for almost two years, and I did a big inspection. The state of the tires is still important: The BMW was eight years old, but fully profiled. It would be too old for me, but you have to know it yourself.
Good time!
If the toothed belt has never been changed, then 16 years are a time when you might think about it. Especially since you are beyond the time interval.
The workshop can, of course, look at the state beforehand, you can actually see very quickly whether it is already fragile.
But if you’re insecure, I’d better trade it before the end of the engine has to be replaced.
That would be vague. a good option…isn’t that complicated to get there?
It is often possible to look at the toothed belt without taking too much apart beforehand.
The Lord in the workshop will surely know this! Often only the cover has to be opened somewhat.
But I’m thinking about a little bit…. does he really have a toothed belt or does he already have a control chain?

I didn’t even know it was a diesel… ..he’s sure he can finally drive. ;
thanks to you, I’ll do this. Yes The Diesel Fiesta all have a toothed belt
Pinched care does not help with a toothed belt. If he tears, you don’t have to worry about financial things anymore. Then the damage becomes considerably higher.
Okay, thank you, that’s in principle I’m just very close to cash and the change would be quite expensive. Because I have heard most different opinions I ask again
How much you drive in the future with the car doesn’t matter. With such extremely old rubber straps, the risk is basically driving. what you do is ultimately your decision. You got the car for free and if the damage occurs, you can let it rot.
You will hear IMMER and different opinions everywhere. And I’d stick to those intervals. But as blacksheepkills has already indicated, this is not as favorable, especially compared to the value of the car.
However, up to the condition of the toothed belt you can guess about how the car was driven and how the rest of the condition is, you don’t know about a new car.
But you don’t have to drive only 80,000km in the next 16 years, you have to drive right in front of the car now! I think the car should be more reliable and hopefully hold for a while.
But you will also hear this statement somehow differently from all people.
That’s a point of view. You’ll hear a lot of opinions here.
I personally find the time interval for inspections only pure harassment and money making. I am a person who claims it depends on the mechanical stress and you just reached it with a certain number of km.
You have a solid car, but the change would probably almost exceed the value of the car.
I wouldn’t worry about it now and just go on.
hello black sheep, thank you for the quick answer that I like to hear of course! I’m just insecure because everyone says something else you mean…who can ask if the workshop can look…:-)
You know, it always comes to the entire package: How was the car driven/heated? Other inspections always done, etc???
@Flausen is also right:
If the part tears, you have a total damage. But I have already experienced that such significant parts would like to break down earlier or just after a workshop visit.
Sometimes “never change a running system” is simply the better alternative.
If you let the toothed belt change for expensive money, you might break the clutch or the gear next week…
Basically, you’re right. Ten years or 240000km But are far away from an excessive demand.
If the state is really as good as the questioner indicates, a change is definitely worth it. At least if he wants to receive the vehicle seriously in the future.
No serious workshop will make a durable statement about the condition of this toothed belt.
You’re right. As already said, you have to see the overall package and see if an investment would be worth…
I’m facing a similar decision. Belt change at either 10 years or over 200,000km. At the clock, I have 100,000km at exactly 10 years. At least I’m going to make nix…
zahnbelt change is always useful if you don’t know the old.because when he tears a capital motor damage and the change has taken place
change necessarily,the plastic ages and if it tears kaptal motor damage
