Timing belt replacement on a 2018 Ford Focus 1 litre eco boot. These cars have what is called a wet belt which means it is in with the oil and over time oil degrades the belt which in turn can cause serious problems, Ford recommend replacing the timing belt on these engines at 200,000km or 10 years. This car had only 75,000km on the clock and already the belt had started to degrade and pieces of belt had started to gather in the oil pick up strainer. Luckily for this customer they opted to do it early and saved themselves serious engine problems in the long run.
