I have a mondeo 1800 td glx p reg. 96, with a endura-td engine. Having worn the teeth off the timing belt, the garage has told me it has damaged 5 valves. However my local parts shop has informed me, the endura engine has valve clearance as to not foul the valves, also the 96 timing kit does not fit and needs a 97 kit, which my parts shop told me the endura engine didn't come out until 97-98. Is the garage ripping me off ?

Many thanks Ken.

Sounds like a possibility to me, try getting another garage to identify the engine and see what they come up with, if they are telling porkies then take them to the cleaners.

Hi

 

Did you ever find out about the valve clearances ? I've just bought a 1998 1.8 TD with the Endura engine with 121k on the clock.

I cannot any indication that the cam belt has been changed but it looks in good condition and no teeth missing. Should I not worry

about it or change it just in case. Appreciate any feedback on this topic.

 

Many thanks
