Parts for your 2014 Ford Fiesta-Drive belt

2014 Ford Fiesta drive-belt — what it does and when to replace it

Based on technical sources including the Ford Workshop Manual (Accessory Drive/FEAD procedures for 2014 Fiesta), plus Gates and Dayco application catalogues for the model year, the 2014 Ford Fiesta is fitted with an accessory drive-belt. It’s a poly‑V (serpentine) belt that runs off the crank pulley to drive key ancillaries.

On a 2014 Fiesta, the drive-belt’s job is to spin the alternator and the air‑con compressor, and on some engine variants it may also turn the water pump. There’s no hydraulic power steering pump on this generation, as it uses electric power assist, so the belt layout is nice and compact. Keeping the belt in good nick helps the battery charge properly, the A/C stay frosty, and engine temps behave during stop‑start city runs.

For regular servicing, most maintenance schedules call for a visual and audible check at every service. If it’s the 1.0‑litre EcoBoost, note that Ford specifies an elastic “stretch‑fit” FEAD belt without a conventional tensioner
