Recommended interval is 105,000 miles..
No, you do not have to remove the engine.
No , the 3.3 litre V6 engine in a 2001 Mercury Villager has a timing BELT
If it is a 3.0 then the answer is yes. Change it at 105,000 miles.
None. Engine timing is set by the PCM, you can not change it with a timing light.
According to the 1997 Mercury Villager Scheduled Maintenance Guide : The timing BELT should be changed at ( 105,000 miles ) * also , the Gates website shows it to be an INTERFERENCE ENGINE so if the timing belt breaks , engine damage will occur

There is no need to remove the timing belt to change the thermostat.
Timing is set by the PCM and is not adjustable.
According to the 1999 Mercury Villager scheduled maintenance guide : ( 105,000 miles ) It doesn't hurt to do it sooner since the engine is an interference engine
