Connect 1.5d timing belt marks 2015my

[AFCMad]

Evening all.

Have been looking at a connect which refuses to start.
(Was starting and running fine up until the cold spell the other week.)

Was advised it was a starter motor issue but is cranking lovely.

Oil level was VERY low so topped it up.

Coolant bottle showing signs of oil contamination but not the worst I've seen.

Seems to have no compression and will not even attempt to start on easystart.
And no trouble codes in the ecu

Suspecting a jumped belt

Started to strip down timing belt cover and realised cannot find any timing marks or info on interweb!

Could someone pls point me in the right direction for timing it up?

(If it has jumped then its going somewhere else for repair!)

As usual, thanks in advance for all and any help!!!

Ford PSA 1.5 TDCI engine.

There are no timing marks. Engine locking kit is used. Locks off crank, cam & FP - (Same as Citroen HDI)

I know there was a recall for these 1.5 engines fitted to Focus. Recall was for cam pulley replacement.
Don't know if it effected 2013> Connects too.

As it's a 2015 model. Would've though still under manfacturer's warranty

It could possibly be the PSA 1.6? My sons 2015 Connect had that engine fitted, but they may well be similar in design

Its basically a 1.6 with a slightly smaller bore Al

I had assumed so, but now I know definitely

I have two Foci with the same engine

Quick update, cos I know youre all worried and concerned, owner of said Transit Connect is having it taken to nearest ford agent for investigation and poss repair under warranty due to age and mileage......

Will keep you updated just in case anyone else suffers the same fault!

Thanks again for all the help...
