When do i need to change my ford focus 18 tdci cam belt
It should be in your owners manual service intervals information,or i go by the 60k miles rule.Some cars now utilize a timing chain and gears like the Mazda 3,so it would be a good idea to call your local Ford dealer,and talk to the service department,as they can tell you the specifics as to whether your engine carries a belt or chain,and the service interval for timing belts.Timing chains generally don't wear out until around the 100k mark,but belts should be serviced at 60k miles as a general rule.
Hi
CAR - FORD FOCUS, LX, TDCI, 1753cc – DIESEL, MANUAL, 5 DOOR HATCHBACK (29/09/2003).
Problem – went to start the car from cold and noticed white smoke coming from under the bonnet. On investigation the smoke was coming from looked like a joint, in a small drum shape case, in-between the drive / timing belt and the alternator.
Is this an easily replaceable part and what could have been the cause ?
Thank you
Nick
