Default When to change timing belt/chain
HI THERE I'VE JUST BOUGHT A 55 PLATE FOCUS 1.6 TDCI WITH 70,000 MILES ON THE CLOCK THE CAR CAME WITH A FULL SERVICE HISTORY OF WHICH I RECEIVED A PRINT OUT. I'M POSTING THIS THREAD BECAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE SUGGESTED I SHOULD CONSIDER CHANGING THE TIMING BELT OR CHAIN (I DONT KNOW WHICH ONE MINE HAS )BECAUSE AT 70-80 THOUSAND MILES IT'S PROBABLY READY FOR RENEWAL AND IF I DONT CHANGE IT AND IT BREAKS IT COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE WHICH MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED.
I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ADVICE ON THIS MATTER AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU THINK I SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF HAVING BOUGHT A USED FOCUS.
LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIEWS
