If you have recently made a purchase from Ford Parts BC, then you can expect in-stock items to ship out within 24 hours.

However, orders made during the weekend will be processed the next business day; and, if a specific component is not in stock, it will need to be ordered from the manufacturer. This typically takes between 2 to 6 business days to arrive at the Ford Parts BC facility - but, once the item is received, it will be immediately sent to you. Ground shipments generally take 2 to 7 days.

Vital to the safe operation of the engine’s valves, the timing belt proves a key performance component - which must be maintained with care.

Made of rubber, this band allows air and gas to move in and out of the motor via the camshaft. Meanwhile, the crankshaft puts the pistons in motion, and the two systems function in perfect harmony. Therefore, maintaining the appropriate pace is crucial.

Most vehicles can keep the same timing belt for around 160,934 km (100,000 miles). However, older models may need a replacement at 95,560 km (60,000 miles).

There are a few indicators that your timing belt is ready to be switched out. Slippage and misfiring can occur, but failure is typically sudden and surprising. You will know if it happens because the engine will immediately lose power and stop running - leaving you stranded on the highway.

Belt and hoses may seem like minor pieces to the puzzle, but they can cause major damage if they are properly not maintained. Contact Ford Parts BC today to learn more about how to identify when a replacement or repair is needed. 

Worn brake pads can prove dangerous in BC - compromising speed regulation, limiting traction, and interfering with driver control. Understanding when to replace them, therefore, is essential. 

Look for the following signs as indicators to replace the pads:

1. Grinding, squealing, and any other ear-piercing sound.
2. Shaking in the steering wheel or pedal, which may be from rotor damage due to metal-on-metal friction.
3. The brake light warning is illuminated on the dashboard, which may be something as simple as low coolant.

Out of all of the components required for making a vehicle run properly, spark plugs tend to be one of the least problematic. Responsible for producing a tiny bolt of lightning that starts the car, they can function properly for up to 48,280 km (30,000 miles).

Lasting for years, these small parts don’t need to be replaced very often. However, some models have shorter lifespans than others. For example, copper spark plugs tend to wear down faster than those built from more durable materials.

Having your spark plugs inspected can prevent deposit buildup and expansion. Since they interact with the air-fuel mixture, leftover residue can cause pre-ignition. This can lead to unreliable energy. Also, as the plugs age, the gap that the spark has to travel to produce combustion widens. If the space is too far, it will be erratic.

In order to have the spark plugs serviced, all of the elements need to be cold. Disassembly may be necessary to reach them. If you hear rattling, pinging, or knocking sounds, they may be misfiring. Other indicators of an issue include reduced performance, poor fuel economy, and having a hard time starting the engine.

Radiator failure can be caused by low coolant, leaking hoses, a malfunctioning thermostat, a faulty pressure cap, or even an issue with the fan.

Some of the signs that may indicate a problem with your vehicle’s radiator can include the following:

1. A significant rise or drop of the temperature gauge located on the instrument cluster.
2. Smoke coming from under the hood.
3. A pool of green liquid on the ground.
4. Visual evidence of rust.

Responsible for stopping your car in its tracks, the brake pads are very important to maintain.

Depending on the vehicle and your driving habits, a general rule of thumb is have your brake system - including the pads - inspected every five months or 8,046 km (5,000 miles). You can have this done at your regular oil changes as well if you want to kill two birds with one stone.

However, if you hear squeaking, squealing, grinding, or any other strange noise, you need to have them looked at immediately. Another indicator that the brake pads are bad is if the warning light is on or if the steering wheel starts shaking.

During an assessment, the mechanic will measure the wear and tear on the current set of brake pads. Fluid levels will also be checked to ensure that every component in the network is properly lubricated. You will then be notified of how much life is left (if any) in the pads.

Please keep in mind that degraded pads can cause significant damage to other pieces in the system. That is why they need to be looked at more often.

In any vehicle, the radiator is responsible for preventing the engine from overheating - allowing Ford vehicles to achieve maximum performance in all conditions. It is a crucial element of every adventure; and maintaining it, therefore, proves vital.

The first thing you should do is have your coolant flushed and replaced every 40,233 km (25,000 miles). This will remove any contaminants that may be hiding inside these pieces. Plus, it also prevents rust buildup and keeps the radiator operating at its peak.

Next, the hoses that transport the fluid through the cooling system need to be switched out every three years or 57,936 km (36,000 miles). Crafted out of rubber, they are subject to drying out over time which can cause them to eventually break.

Finally, it is recommended to have the coolant levels checked regularly. The easiest way to do this is to ask for this service when you go in for an oil change. If there is a noticeable drop in the levels, that could be an indicator of a leak somewhere.
