Description and principle of operation of the Zetec-E engine

            0



Focus models are equipped with the new generation Zetec-E engine ("New Generation Zetec-E engine"). These are the 1.8L and 2.0L engines that are also used in the Mondeo. The most important changes from previous Zetec-E engine options are as follows:
  • Hydraulic engine mounts (the previously used cast iron engine mount bracket is no longer needed);
  • Improved economy, dynamic performance and exhaust emissions;
  • Modified valve mechanism with mechanical pushers;
  • Modified timing belt guide with new belt tensioner;
  • Aluminum timing belt cover that also doubles as an engine mount for improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH);
  • Aluminum crankcase reinforcement block and flat oil sump improving NVH performance;
  • Connecting rods and pistons of a modified design;
  • Full flow oil filter bolted to the cylinder block;
  • 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 sump;
  • Modified intake oil line;
  • Tri-purpose ("trimetallic") catalytic converter with feedback to the engine;
  • Modified intake manifold;
  • Modified exhaust manifold;
  • No EGR system is required to meet the current emissions standard.
  • Modified throttle body;
  • Using the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor (CNT sensor) instead of engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor);
  • Modified thermostat housing due to the absence of an ECT sensor and a coolant temperature indicator sensor;
