Ford Zetec release date

[Olivier_F]

Hi,

Can someone tell me what is the first month and year for the Zetec 2.0L please ?
I found the first Zetec were called Zeta and then renamed Zetec. The first Zeta/Zetec engine was built in September 1991 but it was the 1.8L. I read the 2.0L is arrived quickly afterwards but I can't find when exactly.

Thanks for your help

The Mk5 Escort was the first Ford to be fitted with Zetec in 1.6 and 1.8 forms. The RS2000 did not use the Zetec. The first use of 2.0 Zetec was probably the Mondeo in 1993.

MK1 Mondeo had the first 2.0 zetec engine "silver top" engine with metal rocker cover from 1993
Around 1998 "the black top" plastic rocker cover, replaced this in the Mk1 focus and later Mondeos.
