Default Connect timing belt

I have an 05 reg transit connect t200 1.8 tdi approaching 60k , just wondered when the timing belt should be replaced ?

Heard runmours of 100k or even 150k is this true ?

Thanks for that mate , 150k does seem a long way for a belt though doesnt it . I remember the old transit 2.5 diesels were every 50k iirc thats what made me think i was over due !

Yeah, it does seem a lot although I've never known one to break prematurely tbh, I think it must be because its such a short belt tbh. I don't think is like to leave my own that long though if I had one lol

The newer belts are a lot broader than the old ones, so they last longer.
