For most cars that utilize a timing belt it is recommended to replace the belt between every 60-90,000 mile intervals, 60 being your safest bet. Refer to you you owners manual. Due to emissions, performance and engine designs these days there are a large number of engine manufacturers that design INTERFERENCE MOTORS. Simply put, when or if you timing belt breaks while you are driving your valve train will stop its normal rotation while your crankshaft and pistons are still moving. This leaves intake or exhaust valve open and your piston will contact the valve in the upstroke resulting in catastrophic failure and a huge repair bill. Do yourself a favor and have it replaced especially if you dont know the history of the car, especially if the car has over 100k miles on it. Better safe then sorry

Ford Focus timing belt replacement?
The manufacturer's handbook states that the timing belt and tensioner should be replaced at 100,000 miles but many mechanics say it is safer to change timing belt at 45,000 or 50,000 miles. If timing belt fails it can cause serious engine damage so it's better to be safe than sorry. An average timing belt with water pump and labor is around $600.00. The Focus has an interference engine which means if the timing belt goes, the engine needs to be replaced.
