My ford focus mk2 tdci timing belt lasted till 180k km also no prob. Take out the belt still looks good. Service manual say belt replacement interval is 240k km.

Wait till you own Alfa from the 90s...every 40k mileage have to change timing belt and the tensioner bearings. Each time mechanic will smile at you. Good business.

Thank goodness with the creation of timing chain. Kimci still running on ori chain even though mileage 270k.

9 years old. A workhorse. Suspension i refreshed most of the part at 200k mileage coz i am pretty anal when it comes to any abnormal noise.

Today my amoi late for work...

Boss asks why? She said her car timing belt breaks...

Ask what's the mileage, she said around 95K++

And she doesn't know what is timing belt and even doesn't even know need to change it...

Jialat, now whole engine failure and need claim insurance for new engine overhaul... Or replace 2nd hand engine.

Kthxbye.
