    I'm not sure if that engine has a belt or a chain but normally around 60k should be changed

    The recommended interval on these is 200,000km or 10 years, so you are fine for a long time yet.

    And when the time comes make sure you check is the ones with the second belt instead of a chain below. Ford have no record of these:rolleyes:

    And George Dalton is spot on.

    Some of them engines have two belts others have one belt and a chain. There is no need to replace the chain only the belts. When the engine is stripped down and one belt is visible there could be either a second belt or a chain down below behind the cover. Look, basically just highlight and copy this and show your mechanic:D

    Anyway you have a long time before you need a belt replacement.
