Hi Guys, I've got a Ford Focus 2008 1.6 Zetec, my cars done 67k.

I'm just wondering whens the best time to get it changed and how much does it usually cost?

If i get the parts which is the best cam belt to get?

Cheers

So yours petrol 100k or 8 years an all depends genuine or spurious parts main dealer or indi garage it's bout 3 hour job so ring round get few prices

is it just the derv thats chain driven?

Marty did u mean diesel on ur post

yes, i know mines chain driven and is 120k/10 years, was just wondering if the petrol was the same

Why what is your car

2008 1.8 tdci

Yours has a belt an chain but u need check on some them there's a wet belt instead of the chain an these won't last if not serviced at exact interval wit correct oil

Mines Petrol, the only reason im wondering about my cam belt is that the belt is squeaking when i start the car but stops whilst driving.

Say that's ur fan belt did u try spraying some wd40 or silicone spray see if noise stops

Ah.... As you probably can tell i dont know very much about cars etc, just the basic's....

But would still like to know how much a cam belt is for the future! would it be more cost effective if i bought the part?

maybe?

or you can ring ford for a price....

Had my water pump two hoses and the cam belt done for 240 .
