    My ford focus 2005 zetec has just gone 69000 miles.

    Just wondering when is it recommended to change the timing belt in these cars ??

    Think it's 10 years or 100,000 miles.

    We were told 8 years or 100,000 miles but it hit the 100,000 mile mark in 2010 so got it done then. I'd be lothe to leave it 10 years.

    It's which ever you reach first. 100k miles or 10 years.

    is it the same for every focus or is there different limits for the type of car e.g petrol,diesel or size of the engine.
