    I'm not sure they made a 1.6 diesel Kuga in 2014?

    If they did, it'll be 8 valve & single cam so belt only, no chain.

    Ah, that's better. :smile: 

    Yes, 8v, single cam engine, so no chain.  Just cambelt and waterpump.  And while it's removed, you may as well change the auxiliary belt too.

    For reference, a 2008 1.6 TDCI will be the old twin cam 16v engine.  That one does have a chain between the cams like the 2.0.

    I should have added. The cambelt was changed on our 2008 Fiesta by Tremont road garage Llandrindod Wells, sadly now a tyre and battery place due to Ford dealership costings too high and age of owner.

    I had virus at this time (2 years total) Wife took it in and stayed with daughter at Llandrindod. No rattling chain and only averages 4K per year.
