This engine meets the requirements of the EEC Stage III emission standard and all other requirements of the latest generation of engines in terms of fuel consumption, smoothness, flexibility and power.
Engine codes
Engine code for Duratorq-TDCi:
- 85 kW (115 hp) F9DA
Location of the engine code on the Duratorq-TDCi engine block:
Crankshaft
The crankshaft, supported by five main bearings, has thrust half rings on the third main bearing, which determine the axial clearance of the crankshaft.
Timing sprocket located on the crankshaft
The sprocket located on the crankshaft drives the sprocket of the high-pressure fuel pump via a chain drive.
Belt drive of the gas distribution mechanism
| Pos. | Spare Part No | Name |
| 1 | - | Timing belt tensioner |
| 2 | - | Timing belt |
| 3 | - | Timing belt pulley |
| 4 | - | High pressure fuel pump pulley |
The timing belt is driven by the high pressure fuel pump pulley and transmits information about the opening or closing moments of the valves to the overhead camshaft.
CAUTION: Because a new timing belt will stretch considerably when it is first installed, the timing belt adjustment instructions must be followed carefully.
The timing belt tension is maintained by an automatic timing belt tensioner.
The pulley is fixed on the cone of the camshaft. The necessary force for fixing the pulley is created by the central bolt.
Valve lifter, adjusting shims
The "command" about the valve timing is transmitted to the valve springs via eight pushers.
CAUTION: When installing adjusting shims, the markings on them must face the tappets.
Adjusting shims are used to adjust valve clearances. The thickness of each shim is indicated on its reverse side.
Cylinder head
| Pos. | Spare Part No | Name |
| 1 | - | Hole for guide bushing |
| 2 | - | Identification of gasket thickness |
Cylinder head gaskets are available in various thicknesses. Depending on the piston protrusion, a gasket of a certain thickness is installed on each specific engine. The thickness can be determined by the teeth on the edge of the gasket.
CAUTION: Clean the gasket and mating surfaces thoroughly. Do not use sharp objects when cleaning.
Cylinder head gasket - MLS (multi-layer steel) type gasket The gasket consists of three steel layers. The steel layers have an outer rubber coating. Due to its design, the durability of the gasket is increased, and as a result of the gasket not being worn in during installation, the cylinder head mounting bolts can be inserted with a lower clamping force. However, due to the presence of a rubber surface, the gasket is also more susceptible to grooves, and therefore the surface should be pre-cleaned without the use of sharp objects.
Crankshaft oil seals
NOTE: The crankshaft rear oil seal is supplied with a seal retainer and must be aligned using the special tool shown.
CAUTION: If the backup ring is removed too early, the oil seal will be compressed and become unusable.
Front and rear oil seals are made of PTFE and must be clean (non-greased) when installed.
Both oil seals are equipped with a support ring as an essential attribute. This ring should not be removed until the final installation of the seal, when it can fall out of the oil seal on its own.
Crankcase ventilation
The PCV valve is located on the top surface of the cylinder head cover. To ensure optimum engine performance, this valve and all PCV hoses must be kept clean and free of any debris.
Oil pan
The oil pan is made of steel and is sealed with silicone-based sealant (WSE-M4G-323-A6).
CAUTION: When removing the front engine mount, do not place a jack under the oil pan to support the engine.
CAUTION: Support the engine and transmission assembly with the subframe/oil pan flange on wooden blocks so as not to put any load on the oil pan.
If the engine is supported with a jack, the oil pan will be pushed inward. This can cause a blockage in the oil supply to the oil intake pipe.
The oil drain plug is equipped with a circular sealing ring and can be reused many times.
