r0b3r7 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Hi, just bought a Focus 1.6 with 60k on the clock, full service history, but i didnt notice any milage mark anywhere under the bonnet noting when the timing belt had been changed. Couple of questions Whats the recommended interval for it to be changed also what would the rough labour costs of getting one fitted, or how long it should take a mechanic to fit it. I was going to buy the kit myself from Euro Car parts http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Ford_Focus_1.6_2004/p/Car-Parts/Engine-Parts/Belts-Chains-and-Tensioners/Timing-Belt-Kits/?349770635&1&f074456bd164b0b910ca3a2dd4bae3266321b05e&TBLK Any info would be appreciated Thanks Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
