The timing belt on the Ford Transit should be replaced after approximately 5 to 6 years of use or after covering between 62,000 and 112,000 miles. Sometimes it may be necessary to replace it earlier if issues such as squeaking and loss of engine power occur.

To replace the timing belt, first, open the bonnet and then remove the front right wheel. Next, remove the water pump and the engine bracket.

From underneath the vehicle, loosen the pulley and slide off the belt. Insert the new belt and tighten the pulley, then reassemble the bracket and water pump, and finally, replace the wheel arch liner and the wheel.
