Hi all

Following on from my previous post, I have bought a cheap Mk2 mondeo, which despite being a year 2000 has a silvertop zetec. (THink its been bodged in as a retro fit)

This is making getting bits a little bit of a headache, as I can't go to normal bod with reg plate and ask for parts.

The car desparately needs a timing belt change.
Could some one give me a the engine code (Is is something like ZH20??) or confirm for me what part number I am looking for.

Are all silvertops the same? Mine is a silvertop that says "Zetec" on top. I believe earlier silvertops says DOHC??
So shoudl i be able to just ask for a pre 4/98 mondeo belt?

Any ideas?

are you sure its actually a silver top engine and not just a black top engine with the aluminium silvertop cam cover on it as they are interchangable, can you read the engine number to find a date?

Never thought of that. (But you are just adding to the confusion)

It does have the silvertop campulley cover too, but I guess that would be interchangable too.
I am not sure I will get to the engine number, but I will have a look at the water pump pulley, that should tell IIRC.

Ok deffo silvertop

one piece sump
oil filter angled down
silvertop drive belt routing
and I think the engine number flange says NGA



I will just order pre 4/98 parts, how wrong can it be...
Timing belts are overrated anyways

pretty sure it is silver top given the water pump and drive belt routing.

I will take the cam pulley cover off tonight, that will tell me what idlers and tensioners I need, think belt is identical between engines.
