timing belt

[xbradzx]

Hi,

 

I have a 2009 1.6 petrol focus.  it's done 80k bang on miles.  

when should I get the timing belt changed?

Thanks

between now and later. the longer you leave from now the more likely it might go, course it might well last another 80k or perhaps another 10-20 but "Are you feeling lucky....."

As a 9-year-old car it's already a year over the Ford recommended time interval for a belt change. Belts deteriorate over time as well as mileage so you really ought to get it done ASAP (if you plan on keeping the car, see your other post).
