Platinum Warranty: parts and labour, four years, included on gas engines in non-commercial use

4-year no-fault nationwide warranty — includedOn gas engines in non-commercial use, at no extra charge. The builder’s standard cover is 3 years, parts only. Every gas engine we sell includes the 4-year no-fault warranty with labour, at no extra charge.

  • “No fault” means we do not investigate why it failed — if a covered engine fails inside the term, it is covered.
  • Labour is paid up to CAD $95.00 per hour — a cap on the rate, not a flat payout — and only for the remove-and-replace hours in the Mitchell labour guide. Diagnostic time is covered up to 2 hours, and fluids up to CAD $200.00. Towing and a rental car are not covered. Anything not listed here needs to be agreed with us before the work starts.
  • The 4 years start the day the engine is installed, and a claim needs proof that a professional shop installed it.
  • Unlimited kilometres, and no deductible.
  • Call us before any warranty work starts, so we can authorise it. Labour paid on a repair we were not asked about first is not covered.
  • A claim starts with a call to us. We file it with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer pays it.

Diesel engines, and engines put into commercial service, are not covered by this 4-year warranty — the terms vary by engine, so call us for the terms on the unit you’re pricing.

Ford Zetec 2.0L Four (DOHC 16-Valve)

Also known as: Zetec, 2.0 Zetec, Zetec-E, 2.0 DOHC 16v, Contour 2.0

Overview & history

Zetec was Ford of Europe's name for its twin-cam 16-valve four-cylinder family, and the 2.0-litre version is the one North American buyers know best. It arrived here in 1995 under the hood of the Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique — the world-car project built on the European Mondeo — and it was a noticeable step up in refinement from the pushrod and single-cam fours Ford had been fitting to compact cars. An aluminum-head, iron-block design with a belt-driven twin-cam valvetrain, it made around 125-130 horsepower and revved willingly. It went on to power the first-generation North American Focus, where it was the volume engine, and a high-output version powered the Escort ZX2 sport coupe. Ford also built a tuned Zetec-derived engine for the Focus SVT, and the block architecture underpinned a great deal of European Ford competition work. It was gradually replaced by the Duratec/MZR four after 2004.

Specs & engineering

  • •Cast-iron block with an aluminum twin-cam 16-valve cylinder head.
  • •Belt-driven double overhead camshafts.
  • •Displacement is 1,988 cc (2.0L); bore and stroke are close to square.
  • •Distributorless coil-pack ignition and sequential multi-port fuel injection.
  • •Output was roughly 125-130 hp in standard tune, with the Escort ZX2 and Focus SVT versions making more.

Generations & variants

  • •Contour / Mystique (1995-2000): the North American debut of the 2.0 Zetec.
  • •Escort ZX2 (1998-2003): a higher-revving version of the same engine in Ford's sport compact.
  • •Focus (2000-2004): the volume application, with the Zetec as the standard engine before the Duratec 2.0 replaced it.
  • •Focus SVT (2002-2004): a substantially reworked high-output development with revised heads and intake.

Vehicles it powered

  • •Ford Contour / Mercury Mystique (1995-2000)
  • •Ford Escort ZX2 (1998-2003)
  • •Ford Focus (2000-2004)
  • •Ford Focus SVT (2002-2004)

Known issues & fixes

Timing belt service interval

What to watch for: A Zetec with no documented belt change — the twin cams are belt-driven.

The fix: Replace the belt and tensioner on schedule and inspect the water pump at the same time.

Did you know?

  • ★Zetec was originally a marketing name Ford of Europe adopted after a trademark dispute forced it to abandon its first choice for the engine family.
  • ★The Contour and Mystique were Ford's world car experiment — the same platform and engine sold as the Mondeo in Europe.
