Me too...2022 seems very late for any other.  Unless the Courier was different to the cars.

Apparently not. Being curious I had quick search and according to this article it's 100ps in line with the Fiesta:

    It is!

    it’s basically a fiesta!

    That was one of the attractions.

    Bit disappointed it’s the wet belt on a 22 plate vehicle with 2021 sticker on the engine.

    The 100ps remained as wetbelt in the Fiesta as well.  The other power levels got the chain engines.

    I'm starting to wonder now if it's that big a deal, given that the revised version still has a wet belt for the oil pump drive, and swapping that at 10 years max is virtually as big and expensive a job as on the original wet cambelt engine.

    The key, as often said, does seem to be a 100% service record of at least annual oil changes with the correct oil. I think the Courier service interval is recommended 12 months anyway, more often might be prudent if doing a lot of start/stop work, short journeys from cold, etc.

    The vast majority of issues we've seen on here concern cars which have not been owned from new or nearly new and where there is no absolute guarantee that servicing has been carried out correctly/on time.
