i am interested in this too.
does this concern all polos from the older 90's shape to the newer shape 00's

...........

can anyone confirm if a fiesta had a timing belt

The older fiesta up to 00' had a timing chain and on after that is the timing belt.
Ford recommend you change the belt every 100'000 miles or 5 years, which ever comes first.

If unsure if the belt was changed, its worth doing

and most makes of car its recommended that you change

the water pump while your at it.
