Description and operating principle of the Zetec-E engine

            0



The Focus range is powered by the new generation Zetec-E engine. These are the same 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre engines that are also used in the Mondeo. The most important changes compared to previous Zetec-E variants are:
  • Hydraulic engine mounts (the previously used cast iron engine mount bracket is no longer needed);
  • Improved fuel economy, dynamic performance and exhaust emissions;
  • Modified valve train with mechanical tappets;
  • Modified timing belt guide with new belt tensioner;
  • Aluminum timing belt cover that also functions as an engine mount for improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance;
  • Aluminum crankcase reinforcement block and flat oil pan for improved NVH performance;
  • Modified connecting rods and pistons;
  • Full flow oil filter with bolt-on cylinder block mounting;
  • Coolant pump moved outward towards the cylinder block;
  • Modified exhaust system;
  • Generator with generator load feedback function.

The differences compared to the engines used in the Mondeo are as follows:
  • Modified oil pan;
  • Modified oil intake manifold;
  • Tri-purpose ("tri-metallic") catalytic converter with feedback to the engine;
  • Modified intake manifold;
  • Modified exhaust manifold;
  • No EGR system is required to meet current emission standards.
  • Modified throttle body;
  • Using the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor (CHT Sensor) instead of the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT Sensor);
  • Modified thermostat housing due to the absence of the ECT sensor and coolant temperature gauge sensor;
