Does my 2004 1.4 diesel fusion have a timing belt or chain and if it's a belt when does it need changing,cheersvic.

    It's a belt on these.  It'll be well overdue if it's never had one!  Recommended interval is 10 years or 125k miles.

    At tom says above belt, however i just had mine replaced but i bought a kit inc water pump, idler and tensioner.

    Also  i would suggest that the aux belt is replaced at the same time, coolant will be replenished when cambelt / water pump is replaced.

    I used a dayco brand, used that brand on my vauxhall last year as well as my previous car before that.
