Ford fiesta ghia 1.4 5d 2003 belt or chain

[Charliekeep]

Hi I have a ford fiesta ghia 1.4 5d 53 plate and I am wondering if it has a belt or chain and when it will need chaining. It has 70,000 at the moment. Cheers

Is it a 1.4 petrol?

The 1.25 1.4 1.6 petrol duratec 2002-2008 is a timing belt

The 1.3 duratect petrol is Chain

The diesels are chain I think?

Your belt is due 90k or every 10years.

So, your belt should have been changed in 2013

diesel that age is 150k or 10 yrs

after 2005 125k or 10 years

petrol that age 100k or 10 years, so you were not far off .lol

after 2005  went to 100k or 8 years for some reason.

For the petrol I always tell people 90k as I've had multiple friends who have had tensioners fail at around 90 :)
