Alongside the familiar Zetec-SE and Zetec-E engines, the vehicle is also available with a latest generation diesel engine. This assembly is called the Endura-DI engine.
This diesel engine, which is available as a 55 kW (75 PS) and 66 kW (90 PS) version, is based on the familiar swirl chamber diesel, but has been brought to the latest state of the technology with charge air cooling and direct injection.
This engine therefore complies with EEC emissions standard D3 and all other requirements made on latest generation assemblies with regard to fuel consumption, quiet running, flexibility and power output.
The timing belt is driven by the injection pump pulley and transmits the valve timing to the overhead camshaft.
CAUTION:Because a new timing belt stretches considerably when it is first installed, the instructions for adjustment must be followed.
The tension of the timing belt drive is maintained by an automatic timing belt tensioner. The initial setting of the timing belt tension is carried out by the adjustment cam.
The camshaft timing pulley is retained on the camshaft by a taper. The required frictional force is applied to the camshaft by the center bolt.

Identification of seal thickness
Cylinder head gaskets of various thicknesses are available. Dependent on the piston protrusion, a certain thickness is assigned to the engine. This is indicated by indentations on the cylinder head gasket.
CAUTION:Thoroughly clean the gasket and mating faces. Do not use any sharp object for cleaning.
The cylinder head gasket is an MLS (multi-layered steel) gasket. The gasket consists of three steel layers. The steel layers have an outer covering of rubber. Because of this design, the longevity of the gasket is increased, and because the gasket does not settle during installation, the cylinder head bolts can be installed with lower clamping force. However, because of the rubber surface, the gasket is also more susceptible to grooves, and therefore it must be cleaned without using sharp objects.
Crankshaft oil seals
NOTE:The crankshaft rear oil seal is supplied with an alignment sleeve. It aligns the oil seal to the crankshaft rear flange.
NOTE:The crankshaft rear oil seal carrier must be aligned with the special tool.
