Mk1 Focus Timing Belt query

[MJK 24]

An I correct in thinking the interval for a Mk1 2004 Focus 1600 petrol is 10 years or 100,000 miles?

Thanks

I have a gut feeling that Ford may have revised that interval. Best to check, seems quite long.

Pretty sure it's still 10yr/100K, they always were better at this lark than VW

If anyone knows differently please post up, mine's at 7 years now and unless I hear differently I've no intention of changing it before the 10 year mark...

Service schedule book is missing though the history book is there. I'll try and find out. I know it's a completely different car and engine but my brothers 2006 1.25 Fiesta is 10 years 100,000. Was thinking they'd be the same.

OHs car is 1.6 focus and timing belt is 100k/10 years can't remember how much it though.

I think the interval has been brought down to 8 years/100k miles.

The important thing to note is you must have the full timing belt kit including tensioners/pulleys, as it is one of these pulleys that fails rather than the belt itself.
