Ford Fiesta 2005 Timer Belt and Front Break Replacement

Meu Problema

My 2005 Ford Fiesta needed a new timing belt at just under 300,000 km. The brakes were also due.

Minha Solução

I had great support from two friends who have worked on cars for fun for years. The brakes were pretty straightforward, and I could do the left one all by myself. The timing belt was way more difficult, even though we already did the first replacement 10 years ago. Overall the repair went much smoother than the last time because we had the specialized tools to block the crankshafts and ensure the right timing. The most time-consuming part was taking everything apart in the tight engine bay of a compact car.

Meu Conselho

Get the right tools and some friends for a pleasant repair experience. Working on a project together is just so much more fun.
