Replacing the timing belt has always been a maintenance task that concerns motorists, as it requires significant labour and a replacement kit that is not always economical; however, with the introduction of new materials in the automotive industry, maintenance intervals have significantly increased, from simple oil changes that in long-life programmes can reach up to 30,000 miles, to the timing belt; in the case of the Focus, Ford recommends replacement at 200,000 miles or within 10 years, but it is the opinion of the author not to exceed 5 years or 120,000 miles.
