New Launches In Frankfurt

Available through Universal Automotive, Dayco, the world’s largest original equipment (OE) timing belt manufacturer, used Automechanika Frankfurt, as the venue to launch its belt in oil aftermarket replacement cartridge for the Ford 1.8-litre ‘Lynx’ engine and a new range of timing chain kits.

As Ford’s power transmission supply partner, Dayco designed the world’s first belt in oil drive system, when in 2008, it developed the engineering solution to supersede the previous chain driven high pressure injection pump for this engine, which has been widely used to power various Fiesta, Focus, C-Max, S-Max, Mondeo, Galaxy, Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect models between 1998 and 2011.

As the timing drive system on this engine is driven from the injection pump, the performance of the injection pump drive system is crucial and as this can often not be substantiated, Dayco has developed the belt in oil replacement cartridge, which completely substitutes the chain driven system for the latest belt in oil system.

Therefore, in addition to the belt itself, the cartridge also includes the corresponding belt pulleys to enable the technician to update the engine and remove and replace the original chain driven sprockets and all other evidence of the chain-driven system.

Chain kits are a new departure for Dayco, but in common with all its aftermarket products, these chain and tensioner kits, which cover the top 50 part numbers, contain only OE quality components and therefore maintain Dayco’s reputation for excellence.

Dayco is available through Universal Automotive.
