I've been told you should replace it at about 75,000 miles...anything more and you're pushing your luck.
120,000
Timing BELT ( for the 2.0 liter SOHC and DOHC engines used in a 2002 Ford Focus )
Yes , both the 2.0 liter SOHC and the 2.0 liter DOHC engines used in a 2002 Ford Focus use a timing belt They are both INTERFERENCE engines Change the timing belt at 120,000 miles according to the Gates website
I am looking to replace my timing belt on my 2002 Ford svt focus. I need a diagram or step by step process.
80,000 to be safe, 100, 00 if your're nice when you drive and don't live in a severe climate. The Focus has an interfearence engine which means if that timing belt breaks before you change it you'll probably bend or break some valves too creating an expensive repair. Better to err on the side of caution with a Focus. (mine's an '02)
I do it at about 50K miles.
Ford doesn't use timing marks sorry
if its 2002 /2003 with timing chain get the updated tensioner and new chain fitted before it jumps as these do at 50,000!
According to the Gates website ( 120,000 miles )
It is not necessary to change the timing chain. It should last way over 100,000 miles. Timing belt should be change at least at 90,000 miles or earlier as listed in your owner's manual.
The manual states at 90,000 miles. How do I change a timing belt for a 2002 acura rl?
The timing belt on a Dodge Neon should be replaced every 100,000 miles.
I have a 2002 Elantra and the timing belt was changed by the dealer at 60,000 per the maintenace schedule.
