ST170 engine is the same as any blacktop zetec in regards to timing belt , there is no timing chain
on your picture
1 = air con compressor
2 = top timing belt cover
3 = poly v drive belt
4 = power steering pump
5 = water pump
6 = crank pulley
7 = idler pulley
8 = belt tensioner
9 = alternator
as per the pic one belt drives all these items , you can take it off and run it for a minute or so just to see if the noise goes away and check for movement at air con compressor while its off , if noise is still there then will be timing belt tensioner or idler
