    Please amend the year on your profile which says it is a 2019 Focus. This will cause much confusion in the future since a 2019 Focus is a Mk4 with a 2.0 EcoBlue engine and a wet belt.

    Our belt was replaced at 10 years with a Gates kit (I believe a Tier 1 supplier). The garage said that they would only warrant the change if they used that supplier which is their preferred one. Now 14 years old and no issues:

    Try Haynes as perhaps (unless anyone knows otherwise the best/only way for DIY - others are for garages and are VERY expensive?):

    There is the standard manual or Autofix or bundles - you'll need to choose (they complement each other so I have both):
