Which Rangers?

Not every Ranger has a wet belt. The Ranger has been sold with several diesel and petrol engines, and only some run a belt in oil. The cards below are background from Ford and parts sources. Whether Seb's package applies to your Ranger is confirmed from your registration.

Background

The 2.0 EcoBlue Ranger

Ford sold the Ranger in Europe from 2019 with the 2.0 EcoBlue in 130PS, 170PS and 213PS bi-turbo forms. Parts catalogue data shows two belts on this engine: a camshaft belt and an oil pump belt. This is background information, not confirmation that Seb's package suits your Ranger.

Check first

Newer Rangers and updated engines

Our sources did not confirm the belt or chain arrangement on Rangers from the 2022 model change. Ford Australia has said its updated 2.0 single-turbo moves to a timing chain from model year 26.50, but we found no UK statement. Do not assume either way, send your registration.

Not covered here

Older and other engines

The older 2.2 and 3.2 Duratorq diesels are not described as belt-in-oil engines in the sources we reviewed. Seb has not listed a package for them, or for the 3.0 V6 diesel, the 3.0 petrol Raptor or the 2.3 plug-in hybrid. If you have one, ask Seb.

The DVLA vehicle check shows engine size and fuel type, not an engine code, so it cannot tell you whether your Ranger is single or bi-turbo or which belt it has. Seb confirms the applicable engine and package from your registration. A Ford dealer can also confirm from your VIN.

Warning signs

What to look out for on a Ford Ranger with a belt-in-oil engine.

Oil pressure warning light

As a general precaution, if the oil pressure warning light comes on or stays on, stop somewhere safe, switch off and check the oil level before going further. This is urgent, not a routine booking. We have not read the wording in the Ranger handbook, so check yours.

Oil that is low, diluted or looks wrong

Ford has linked high oil dilution and degradation to reduced belt life on affected Transit vans. Short trips can dilute oil with fuel, so a Ranger used mostly for short runs is worth mentioning to Seb.

Debris in the oil or on the strainer

Component makers say the oil pump strainer should be checked for debris whenever this belt is replaced.

Loss of power or warning messages

Ford's Transit letter lists warning messages and loss of power as signs of a failing belt. We found no Ranger-specific list, and other faults can cause the same symptoms.

These signs can have other causes and do not prove a belt fault. A wet belt does not always give a clear warning before it fails, so do not rely on symptoms alone. If you notice any of them, send Seb your registration and what you have seen.

Replacement timing

Scheduled replacement is separate from symptoms

We could not find a Ford interval written specifically for the Ranger. Garage and dealer pages quote 10 years with either 144,000 or 150,000 miles, but those are not Ford documents. Ford's reported change to 6 years or 100,000 miles was for the Transit, Transit Custom and Tourneo, and we cannot say whether it applies to the Ranger. This page therefore gives no single interval.

Check the service schedule for your Ranger, or ask a Ford dealer with your VIN.

  • No symptoms does not mean the belt is safe.
  • A belt can be due for replacement even when the truck drives normally.
  • Ford treats towing, heavy loads, off-road use and short journeys as severe use in its service guidance, but we found no shorter belt interval for it.

What it involves

What Seb's Ranger package includes

Seb has described the Ranger package as having the same inclusions as his 2.0 EcoBlue package: the timing belt kit, oil pump belt, auxiliary and water pump belt and timing cover, 10 litres of engine oil and an oil filter, the oil strainer and sump pan, and the crankshaft idler pulley and crankshaft pulley bolts. The water pump itself is a separate £100 extra. Seb confirms the applicable engine and package from your registration before he orders parts.

Ranger and Transit: what we could confirm

  • The engine family and two-belt layout look the same in parts data, but we could not confirm that the interval, access or oil specification match the Transit.
  • Rangers come in single and bi-turbo forms, so Seb confirms which you have before he orders parts.

Sources: Ford Europe press kit and parts catalogue data. Seb will agree the time for the job when he quotes.

Use and warranty

Towing, loads and off-road use

Ford's service guidance treats towing, moderate to maximum loads, off-road conditions and short journeys as severe use. Tell Seb how your Ranger is used when you message him, so he has the full picture when he confirms your quote.

Ford warranty and Ford Protect

Ford UK's service portfolio says the timing belt is covered during the base warranty and Ford Protect up to the first scheduled replacement. Ford also says servicing outside its network is allowed if the vehicle is serviced to Ford's recommendations with suitable parts and the invoices are kept. Read the Ford service portfolio for the full wording.

Roses cannot say how paying for independent belt work would affect your cover or any goodwill request. If your Ranger is still under Ford warranty or Ford Protect, check with Ford before arranging a belt replacement.

Seb's experience

Ford experience
from TrustFord

Before going out on my own I worked on BMW, Škoda, Citroën, Peugeot and Ford vehicles, and most recently with the RAC's mobile mechanics division. At TrustFord I regularly carried out around three Transit timing belt replacements a week. My TrustFord belt work was on Transits, so I confirm your Ranger's engine and parts before I quote.

  • TrustFord Mobile ServiceTwo yearsFord Senior Technician status. Regularly completed around three Transit timing belt replacements a week, later mainly diagnostic work.
  • RAC Mobile MechanicsMost recent roleServicing, diagnosis and repairs across South and South West London.
  • BMWAbout three yearsQualified technician, then Senior Technician status.
  • Citroën and PeugeotTwo yearsEngine and gearbox rebuilds and replacements, plus electrical fault diagnosis.

Questions customers ask

Does my Ford Ranger have a wet belt?

Parts data shows a belt running in oil on the 2.0 EcoBlue Ranger, sold in Europe from 2019. The older 2.2 and 3.2 Duratorq diesels are not described as belt-in-oil engines in the sources we reviewed. Which engine you have, and whether Seb's package applies, is confirmed from your registration.

Which Ranger years have the 2.0 EcoBlue?

Ford sold it in the European Ranger from 2019. Whether a newer Ranger has a belt or a chain is something we could not confirm, so Seb checks by registration.

How much does Ranger wet belt replacement cost?

Seb's package is £1,200. A full service can be added for £150 and water pump replacement for £100. Seb confirms the applicable engine and package from your registration, and gives you your final quote before booking.

Is labour included, and is VAT added?

Yes, labour is included in the package price, and no VAT is added to Seb's prices.

What if more work is needed?

Any additional work is quoted and agreed before we proceed.

Is the £1,200 package for every Ranger?

No. It is for Rangers fitted with a wet belt, and not every Ranger has one. Seb confirms the applicable engine and package from your registration, so send it before you book.

Is the Ranger belt the same as the Transit EcoBlue belt?

The engine family and the two-belt layout look the same in parts data. We could not confirm that the interval, access or oil specification are identical, so Ranger work is quoted separately.

How often should a Ranger belt be replaced?

We could not find a Ford interval written for the Ranger, and the reported change to 6 years or 100,000 miles was for vans. Check your Ranger service schedule or ask a Ford dealer with your VIN. A belt can be due even when the truck drives normally.

Does towing or off-road use change anything?

Ford treats towing, heavy loads, off-road use and short journeys as severe use. We found no shorter belt interval for it, but tell Seb how you use the Ranger.

Is a wet belt covered by Ford warranty?

Ford UK's service portfolio says the timing belt is covered under the base warranty and Ford Protect up to the first scheduled replacement. Check with Ford before arranging work, because Roses cannot say how independent work affects your cover.

Has Ford dropped the wet belt on the Ranger?

Ford Australia has said its updated 2.0 single-turbo moves to a timing chain from model year 26.50. We found no UK or European statement, so do not assume a UK Ranger has either.

Is the water pump included?

No. The package includes the auxiliary and water pump belt, which is a belt. Replacing the water pump itself is an optional £100 extra.

Can Seb do it at my home or workplace?

Yes, in Woking, Guildford and Farnborough. Tell Seb where the Ranger will be parked and he will confirm whether the job can be done there.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. All services carry a 12-month parts and labour warranty.
