Hi, what year is it?
I have a Mk6 (2002-08) Diesel Fiesta, and the Cambelt needs doing every 10 years, but my Haynes manual recommends changing it every 5 years if it is subjected to stop-starting city traffic or short journeys. I think the petrol version is the same to the best of my memory, if you have the Mk6.5 or the Mk7, then it won't be old enough to need it yet, but otherwise you might want to stick to the recommendation and get the cambelt fitted at its next service.
When the Cambelt goes, the engines timings mess up and it explodes, so its a write off, so it really isn't a great idea to gamble.
I hope that helps!

It should be changed every 60,000 miles. I am not sure if it is an interference engine or not.
What milage should a timing belt be changed on a 2000 fiesta zetec s?
You must be referring to a European Ford as the Fiesta is no longer sold in the U.S. Gates has no listing for a 2000 Fiesta. All 2000 Fords with a belt that are listed require the belt to be changed at 120,000 miles. The Focus engine is an interferance engine, and if the belt breaks engine damage will occur. I suggest you call a Ford dealer to make sure on your Fiesta.
