Hi,

We have just bought a Focus 1.8 TDCI on a 05 plate (last of the 'old' model) which has done 63k miles. I asked the garage to change the timing belt on it, but have since been told by them that the engine is chain driven but they have however changed another belt on it as the engine had both chain and belt.

Can somebody clarify what gets changed exactly regarding belts on this car? I am a bit confused!

Thanks in advance.

Just looked on Wikipedia and it claims the injector pump is chain driven with the camshafts being belt driven?
