Dayco Aftermarket has introduced belt-in-oil (BIO) belts and kits as an aftermarket solution to meet growing demand.

The primary drive system on the Lynx engine is driven from the injection pump and because the performance of the injection pump drive system performance is crucial, Dayco has developed the replacement ‘cartridge’.

In addition to the belt itself, the cartridge includes the corresponding belt pulleys to enable workshops to update the engine, remove and replace the chain driven sprockets and all other evidence of the original chain-driven system.

Pioneering BIO technology

Dayco pioneered the BIO concept for automotive applications and as Ford’s power transmission supply partner, it designed the world’s first BIO drive system in 2007 with an engineering solution to supersede the previous chain-driven high pressure injection pump for the popular ‘Lynx’ engine.

The engine had been widely used to power various Focus, C-Max, S-Max, Mondeo, Galaxy, Tourneo Connect and Transit Connect models between 1998 and 2013.

BIO technology, which enables a drive belt to work inside the engine, has now been incorporated into several engines from other VMs including PSA and VAG, as well as additional Ford engines, including multi award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost unit.

Dayco say previous advantages associated with a chain driven system over an external belt system in terms of the size of the engine, have been mitigated and the more evident advantages of a belt transmission have been maintained.

The technology delivers lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and also produces noticeably lower noise levels than a comparable chain driven system.

How BIO works

The belt is just one element within the system that also includes mechanical transmission components, such as special tensioners with specifically developed bearings and damping systems able to generate the friction needed in the presence of lubricating oil.

Dayco remains the only manufacturer that also supplies BIO belts for OE primary drive transmission systems alongside those original fuel, oil and water pump applications.
