Mar 10, 2016 - The Ford Escort was available through three generations, and today I'll be showing you our Escort stereo wiring schematic from 1980-2003.

The picture is for a zetec. Let me know if wrong diagram?

The serpentine drive belt on a Ford Escort ZX2 snakes its way from the crankshaft pulley out to the engine accessory pulleys and the serpentine belt tensioner. The serpentine belt system's design employs only one belt, held taught with the automatic belt tensioner, eliminating the need for the multiple belt system used on earlier model year Escorts. When the belt begins cracking, fraying or losing ribs, it's time to replace it. If you have entry-level auto-repair skill, you can change a belt on a Ford Zx2 in about 45 minutes. http://www.lightdeal.co.uk

The drivebelt diagram for a 2002 ecort zx2 is enclosed. please note that the escort came with two engines i have enclosed both belt diagrams, you can use the diagrams to find yours by looking at the pulley locations or using the engine vin # located on the diagram, to find yours you will need to count the vin # of your car, this is located on your insurance card or on the drivers door next to latch or bottom of windsheild on the driverside, you will count from left to right to 8th digit and thats the eng code digit. good day.

It may be like this:

"I just installed a belt on a 1998 ZX2 and used the tension release tool from underneath the car (safely jacked up and blocked) You should remove the right front wheel and plastic splash shield from wheel well (10mm socket). Use the tensioner release tool from underneath and rotate it towards the rear of the engine until you meet the lower heater hose. At this point, have another person use a tire iron / long screw driver, etc. to jam the tensioner pulley in place in order to get another "bite" on the tensioner pulley center bolt (use 13MM socket on the tool) You should have the entire belt pre-routed except for the AC pulley. This is the easiest one to install the belt on once tension has been released. Check for any looseness on the other idler pulleys as well as component pulleys."

Good luck! (rate if useful!!)

1. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   
2. Negative battery cable Accessory drive belt and tensioner Timing belt cover Right front wheel Right inner splash shield Crankshaft pulley
   
3. Align the timing marks.

1. Removing Timing Belt

1. Loosen the timing belt tensioner bolt (1).
2. Use an 8mm Allen wrench, and turn the tensioner (2) counterclockwise 1 / 4 turn.
3. Insert a 1 / 8 inch drill bit in the hole (3) to lock the belt tensioner in place.
4. Remove the timing belt (4).
   
   To Install :
   
   
5. Install the timing belt in a counterclockwise direction starting at the crankshaft.
   
6. Remove the drill bit to unlock the timing belt tensioner.
   
7. Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns and check that the timing marks align.
   
8. Tighten the tensioner bolt to 15-22 ft. lbs. (20-30 Nm).
   
9. Reinstall or connect the following:
   
   Crankshaft pulley. Tighten the bolt to 81-96 ft. lbs. (110-130 Nm). Right inner splash shield Right front wheel Timing belt cover Accessory drive belt and tensioner Negative battery cable
10. Start the engine and check for proper operation

Timing Belt
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1.8L Engine
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the timing belt covers.
Rotate the crankshaft and align the timing marks located on the camshaft pulleys and the seal plate.
Remove the crankshaft pulley and hub.
If the timing belt is to be reused, mark an arrow on the belt to indicate its rotational direction to enable correct re-installation.
Loosen the timing belt tensioner lockbolt and remove the timing belt.
To install:
Temporarily secure the timing belt tensioner in the far left position with the spring fully extended, then tighten the lockbolt.
Make sure the timing marks on the timing belt pulley (crankshaft sprocket) and the engine block (oil pump housing) are aligned.
Make sure the timing marks on the camshaft pulleys and the seal plate are aligned.
Install the timing belt.
Loosen the tensioner lockbolt. Using a suitable prying tool, position the timing belt tensioner so the timing belt is taut, then tighten the tensioner lockbolt.
Turn the crankshaft two turns clockwise and align the timing belt pulley mark with the mark on the engine block.
Fig. 1: Timing marks are located on the camshaft pulleys as shown — 1.8L engines


　
Fig. 2: Make sure that the crankshaft sprocket (timing belt pulley) and oil pump timing marks are aligned — 1.8L engines


　
Fig. 3: Align the timing belt pulley mark with the tension set mark, at approximately the 10 o'clock position — 1.8L engines


　
Fig. 4: Check the timing belt deflection at the location shown — 1.8L engines

go to gates.com and click the link on the left that says Part Locator & Interchange, put in your car info then look down the page and click the camera next to the serpintine belt. These belts are not usually hard to change, the tensioner pulley should have a 3/8" square drive hole in it to release the tension, I always start at the crankshaft and loop around leaving the tensioner for last, hope this helps, let me know

I am sure the leak is the water pump based on years of Escort work, The ZX2 is equipped with a 2.0L DOHC V-Tech engine. The water pump is on the front (rt side of car) of the engine block, visible with the hood up. NAPA autoparts replacement instructions are to loosen the belt drive pulley from the pump BEFORE removing the serpentine belt. Once the four bolts are loose, take the belt off (good time to replace?) remove bolts and old water pump (four more bolts)- it will be tight, but it comes out- clean gasket area and install new gasket and pump in reverse order. That includes putting the pulley on and hand tightening the bolts, put on the belt, finish tightening the bolts to the pulley.
