Default New Escort Owner

Proud new owner of 97 Escort LX wagon( Mexico ), 110,000 miles( alledged ).

I presume I have 2.0 engine based on what I've read on the net?

The power steering pump pulley wobbles and pump makes a little noise on right hand turn and will need to fix that most immediately.

I will need to have belt(s) --serpertine?-- inspected e.g timming belt especially.

Perhaps could do carfax check to possibly see if there is record of timming belt change, but probably best to just inspect it?

Thx to any who have time to give me suggestions of where to find out what engine I have, where to get parts for this older car, etc......

My last car is a 93 Ford Festiva, that I have loved for 10 years. Looking forward to ten years with my red Escort wagon.
