Purdy fpv Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Hi it is both. 100,000 miles or 10 year intervals. Whichever comes first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DONFRAMAC Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The Haynes manual is much more cautious about this vital item, also several other car companies have revised such intervals down greatly. I shall halve the interval, and do the other belt, etc at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdy fpv Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 100,000 miles or 10 years is Fords recommended service interval for this part. If you want to change the belt sooner then that is your decision. I trust Ford. They don't just make up service schedules off the top of their heads. They is extensive testing involved and the new generation of engines are designed to have greater intervals on perishable items like belts to keep costs down.
