I need a diagram for replacing my serpentine belt on my 1998 ford escort ZX2

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

email me at [email protected] and I can get a diagram to you so you know exactly what you are looking for under the hood.

1998 Ford Escort Serpentine Belt Routing

Here it is. 13mm wrench to rotate tensioner

If there is no diagram on the underside of your hood, or around the engine compartment, just wrap it around the crankshaft, and work your way around the pulleys, going flats to flats, ribs to ribs. There may be a couple of combinations, but you'll get it.

1) Start with the alternator.
2) Forward to the smooth idler
3) Forward to power steering
4) Down to A/C compressor
5) Back to crank pulley
6) Forward around tensioner
7) Back glancing off of water pump
8) Back glancing off of ribbed idler
9) Up around alternator (where you started)
Good luck!

This information can be found at www.serpentinebeltdiagram.com
They have all the belt routing info for any vehicle with a serpentine belt.
Hope this helps....

Go on the Dayco belts web site. They make serpentine belts and a pretty good data base of belt diagrams for any vehicle they make a belt for.

Call a Ford parts dept and ask them if you can get a routing diagram they can fax or pick it up thats the best way label take weeks to get in so do that and keep the copy in your car file Please rate my response thank you very much

2.0L Engines
See Figures 11, 12 and 13
The accessory drive belt for 2.0L engines has no provision for manual belt adjustment, since these engines use an automatic belt tensioner. Drive belt slack is taken up by the automatic tensioner.
Movement of the automatic tensioner assembly during engine operation is not a sign of a malfunctioning tensioner. This movement is the tensioner self-adjusting and is required to maintain constant belt tension.
The belt tensioner has a belt length indicator. If the indicator marks are not between the MIN and MAX marks, the belt must be replaced.
