Ford Transit EcoBlue, Wet Belt Replacement & Vacuum Pump.

Customer Complaint:
Vehicle presented with a hard brake pedal.

Upon inspection, the wet timing belt was found to be deteriorating. Belt debris had contaminated and blocked the vacuum pump, resulting in vacuum pump failure and loss of brake servo assistance.

Work Carried Out:

- Removed and replaced the wet timing belt system.
- Removed and replaced the failed vacuum pump.
- Replaced the oil pump drive belt and oil strainer.
- Removed and replaced the sump and timing casing cover.
- Replaced crank seal and crank bolt
- Replaced auxiliary drive belts.
- Renewed engine oil and coolant.
- Reassembled and carried out all necessary checks.

Parts Replaced:

1. Genuine wet belt timing kit.
2. Genuine oil pump drive belt.
3. Genuine oil strainer.
4. Genuine crankshaft bolt.
5. Timing casing cover complete with crankshaft seal.
6. Sump.
7. Engine oil.
8. Oil filter.
9. Auxiliary drive belts – x2.
10. Coolant.
11. Vacuum pump *aftermarket replacement*.

A genuine wet belt timing kit and genuine associated components were used. An aftermarket vacuum pump was selected as a more cost effective alternative to the genuine Ford part, helping to keep the overall repair cost down for the customer.

Following completion, the engine was checked for correct operation, oil leaks and coolant leaks. Vacuum pump operation and brake servo assistance were checked to ensure normal braking assistance had been restored.

🔧 Another problem diagnosed correctly at Motorfreakz! 🚐

We had a customer bring us his Ford Transit Custom after a previous garage had replaced the power steering pump and pipes at considerable cost, only for the original noise to remain unresolved.

We opened at 8:00am, and by 8:35am, we had confirmed our suspicions and identified the issue. The alternator clutch pulley, a common fault across a range of vehicles.

In fact, we had already been able to narrow down the likely cause from a video the customer sent us before the van even arrived!

At Motorfreakz, we believe in diagnosing the problem properly before replacing parts. Nobody wants to spend their hard earned money on repairs that don't fix the issue, and we certainly don't believe in charging customers for guesswork.

Our approach is simple:
✅ Listen to the customer.
✅ Diagnose the fault properly.
✅ Confirm the problem before recommending repairs.
✅ Be honest and transparent about the work required.

We're not here to sell you parts you don't need. We're here to find the fault, fix it properly and give you confidence that your vehicle is in safe hands.

Honest advice. Proper diagnosis. Repairs you can trust. 💚

🔧 Ford Fiesta ST Brake Upgrade 🏁

The customer felt the standard braking setup was letting the car down, so we upgraded it with performance brake pads, new front discs and braided brake flexi lines all round.

During the job, we also found the rear flexi hoses were badly worn and split during removal, highlighting the importance of checking the condition of braking components.

A worthwhile upgrade to improve brake feel and consistency, while replacing worn components along the way.

Bought from a dealership, looks immaculate and advertised as fully serviced… 👀

But when we actually checked underneath, this is what we found 😳🌿

Just goes to show that a clean-looking car doesn't always tell the full story.

Beautiful fully restored t4 campervan came into us to get some more power out of it to help with driving up hill and pulling away. Due to its age it was unable to have the usual remap done. We supplied and fitted a boost gauge, adjusted the turbo actuator to increase the boost from 7/8psi upto a steady 10psi as well as adjusted the fuel pump to suit.
