Serpentine Belt Tensioner Replacement 2012-2018 Ford Focus 2.0L
In this video I show how to replace a serpentine belt tensioner on the 2012-2018 Ford Focus equipped with the 2.0L N/A engine. The procedure is very simple and does not require the complete removal of both of the drive belts. However, it is likely that if you have a tensioner failure that requires the tensioner to be replaced then its probably time for new belts anyway, so I included the removal and installation information for both the alternator belt and the A/C belt as well.
Note: This video is limited in its completeness. As mentioned in the video the A/C belt was not present on the engine, so I substituted video from another video, that did not feature a Focus, to help convey the basics of the removal and installation of a stretchy belt. Also, because the vehicle was not present, I was not able to show the removal of the engine splash shield and also could not show the proper process for lifting and supporting the vehicle safely. Please refer to your owner's manual and repair manual for this information.
Warning! Improperly lifting and supporting your vehicle may result in serious injury or death. Please refer to your repair manual and owners manual for this information.
***Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission it will be necessary to place the transmission into neutral in order to rotate the crankshaft as shown in the video. Warning: Be sure that the parking brake is applied and that the wheels are chocked when the vehicle is in neutral.
