    I know the water pump is on the aux belt on the 1.8 tdci engine but I got told by ford that they recommend changing the cambelt either at 125000 or 10 years which ever comes sooner so I would ring them to check cheers Sam

    Somebody mentioned idle tensioners. Dont have the faintest idea if dat needs to b replaced too

    anything the timing belt touches ideally would be replaced. As that makes sure everything is replaced and done and less likely to fail!
