10 years or 100,000 miles but i change them 9 years 90,000 miles to be safe make sure you change a kit not just the belt
As often as the manufacturer recommends
i had mine changed in Jan 2011 mileage 48000
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.
newer it,s a chain
It should be changed every 60,000 miles. I am not sure if it is an interference engine or not.
There is no set mileage accumulation at which the cam belt should be changed on a 2001 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1600. The cam belt is only changed if it shows signs of wear or breaks. A diagnostic test can determine if the cam belt is functioning properly.
The cam belt in a Fiesta LX 1.2 is not a part that needs to be changed at any certain time. It should be inspected every 100,000 miles and changed only if it shows signs of wear or breaks.
Well I would guess that if it hasn't been changed yet, now's the time. But seriously Cam belts in general should be changed somewhere around 50,000 miles.
The cam belt, or timing belt on a 1.6 Ford Fiesta Zetec S is a belt that does not have to be changed unless there are problems. This is one part of the motor that should be left alone unless, the vehicle jumps time. The cam belt can be inspected through the removal of an inspection plate. If the belt is not showing any signs of wear, it should be fine for over 100,000 miles or even the life of the vehicle.
your timing belt should be changed every 100,000 miles or 10 years but i would recomend 8 years or 80,000 miles as the tensioner seems to go first also when you have it done have the kit fitted.
Ford fiesta change the repenting belt
90,000 miles
