there are two different sizes for that year since a split of of months one is a 70mm or a 60mm pulley and one on the bottom 47mm take off timing cover to see and the crankshaft pulley
the 98 ford escort zx2 has a 4 pin maf and 70mm timing belt idler the 00 has a 6 pin maf and 60mm timing idler
the ZETEC engine used in the 1999 ZX2 is a non-interference engine. This means that the pistons will not contact the valves when the timing belt breaks. Because of this, the valves will not be bad if the timing belt breaks
80,000 miles
About $300 for just the belt. $599 for the belt, new water pump and idler and tesioner pullies.
There is no fan belt on a 1999 ZX2; it has an electric cooling fan. Your question is not worded in question format. We need to know which belt you are talking about (serpentine or timing) and what your question is.
Most technicians refer to the idler pully for the timing belt as just idler.
If the timing belt is not tensioned correctly it will "walk" back and forth on the cogs and idlers. It is probably walking out to the upper mount and binding on it, snapping the bolt.
The Ford Motor Company made the Ford Escort zx2 2.0 motor, a "non interferance engine" meaning when the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage your engine components. -Antwon00
I have a 1999 ZX2 - my bely broke @ 110,000 miles. Either wait for the break - enginr won't run, orchang it before it breaks!
i need to find timing on my 2.0 zx2 z tech eng
you have a bad bearing on either the tensioner pully or the idler pully. both should be replaced for success.
this was the biggest help to me http://www.teamzx2.com/index.php?topic=8375.0 hope it helps :o)
