HAYBURN Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I would never run them to 100,000 I don't know the exact time intervals. I have done my 2010 focus at 65,000 they are also meant to be checked at timed intervals I've always changed the timing belt early with all my cars in the past, wouldn't risk it. I've seen plenty of damaged engines that haven't made the service time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam triple Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 think my old focus was every 60k look in owners hand book should be in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Which engine is it? Gordon R's numbers are certainly correct for the 1.6 diesel. A good guide on the 2005 diesel Focus is that the belt will be due at about the same time as the 2nd set of front outer wishbone bushes are worn out.👿 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen plenty of damaged engines that haven't made the service time. Very much so, I certainly wouldnt wait 100,000 for the first one , especially if we were talking more than 10 years. Good rule of thumb is 70,000, and do the water pump (if run by cambelt) and all tensioners while youre at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dead eye alan Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 The belts seldom brake but the ancillaries often cause the problems ie water pump or idler pulleys and tensioners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ask yourselves how much is a cam belt change going to cost and how much is a new engine/car. I would be looking at changing every 50 000 if the book said 100 000 just for peace of mind. Love the rattle of the chain on my old V8 coming up for 200 000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a mate with a relatively new Volvo had a catastrophy coming up the M40 when his timing belt disintigrated and wrecked the engine. Very expensive day out in London. Hence my suggestion to replace early. Rover engineer once said to me that to not worry till I couldn't hold a conversation on board. Have owned four models, Range Rover Classics and the Landie all in excess of 200 thousand miles Edited April 8, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
