Ford service schedule by engine

Wet timing belt (runs in oil)

Replace every 10 years or 150,000 miles

Ford UK handbook interval as quoted by Haynes/PMM/Parkers: 10 years or 150,000 miles (Transit/Tourneo Connect & Courier 140,000 mi per PMM). The oil pump is driven by a second belt-in-oil; Ford US schedules replace 'timing belt' and 'oil pump drive belt' together. REVISION EVIDENCE: Ford's US Fiesta schedule changed from 'Every 150000 miles: Replace timing belt (1.0L, 1.6L). Replace oil pump drive belt' (MY2014, S11) to '1.0L: Every 100000 miles or 6 years, whichever occurs first' (MY2015, S9) and Focus MY2015 'Every 100000 miles: replace timing and oil pump belt (1.0L)' (S10). For the UK, Parkers' Fiesta guide (S18) and Dolz (S40) state Ford now recommends 10 years / 100,000 miles, and garages (S41) date this to c.2022 — but no Ford UK bulletin or document was found; treat the UK 100,000-mile figure as reported.

Wet timing belt (runs in oil)

Replace every 10 years or 150,000 miles

CONTINUATION of the 1.0 EcoBoost wet-belt entry for three model lines whose changeover to the chain engine is NOT established. Laser Tools 8239, the wet-belt timing kit, lists EcoSport "from 2014", Transit/Tourneo Courier "2015-on" and Transit/Tourneo Custom 1.0 EcoBoost PHEV "2019-on", and its engine codes share none with the chain kit's B3DA/B7DA (W-S2) — while Laser's chain kit (8076) does not list these models at all (W-S1). Before this entry a 2020-on car of these lines got "chain" only, which is the dangerous direction: a wet-belt engine told it has a chain never gets its belt changed. Both answers now show until an engine-code check settles it. Interval as the parent entry. Ford UK handbook interval as quoted by Haynes/PMM/Parkers: 10 years or 150,000 miles (Transit/Tourneo Connect & Courier 140,000 mi per PMM). The oil pump is driven by a second belt-in-oil; Ford US schedules replace 'timing belt' and 'oil pump drive belt' together.

Wet timing belt (runs in oil)

Replace every 10 years — no mileage limit published

Opposite-kit test: AUTODOC lists timing belt kits for XPJA-XPJD / XYJA-XYJF with no banner, several described 'Timing belt in the oil bath' / 'Belt in Oil' (E-S16, E-S18), and shows 'Unfortunately, item Timing chain kit ... is not available' (E-S17). Camshaft test: Laser Tools 7828 is sold as the 'Engine Timing Kit - for 1.1 Wet Belt Ford Petrol' with camshaft locking blocks and a belt-tensioner locking tool, codes XPJA-XPJD and XYJA-XYJE (E-S19). Unlike the 1.0 EcoBoost, no source reports a later change to a chain (TGPP: 'the 1.1 Ti-VCT stuck with it', E-S20). Interval: TGPP reports Ford's recommendation as 'every 10 years or 100–125k miles' (E-S20) — only the 10-year element is recorded because the mileage is quoted as a range and no Ford document was found. Whether the 1.1, like the 1.0 Fox, has a second wet belt driving the oil pump was NOT established.

Interval not confirmed — check the handbook

Opposite-kit test: AUTODOC lists 73 timing BELT kits (117-tooth) for the Ka+ 1.2 Ti-VCT YSKD/YSKE with no banner (E-S12) and shows 'Unfortunately, item Timing chain kit ... is not available' for the same vehicle (E-S13). An INA kit is marked 'construction year to 03/2018', matching Parkers' end of sale for the 4-cylinder (E-S14). Camshaft test: the Sealey Duratec camshaft timing kit (E-S1) includes 'Ka (16-20)' in its applications alongside the belt-drive 1.25/1.4/1.6 Sigma codes, but YSKD/YSKE are not in its printed code table — supporting, not decisive. No kit is described as 'belt in oil', so recorded as a dry belt. No interval found on a fetched page: AUTODOC's '240,000 km / 10 years' appeared only in search snippets.

Timing belt (cambelt)

Replace every 8 years or 100,000 miles

Ford's normal interval as quoted by Haynes: 100,000 mi or 8 years (Fiesta Mk7 1.25/1.6; Focus Mk2 1.4/1.6; Focus Mk3 1.6 Ti-VCT). Haynes itself advises 62,500 (Fiesta) / 60,000-62,500 (Focus Mk2) / 80,000 (Focus Mk3). Autobaak lists 160,000 km / 8 yrs for 2002-2017 Fiesta 1.25/1.4/1.6 (consistent). Ford US Fiesta 1.6 Ti-VCT: 150,000 mi (S9/S11) — a different, longer US figure. Interference status not stated by a fetched source.

Wet timing belt (runs in oil)

Replace every 10 years or 112,500 miles

CORRECTED 2026-09-23: this entry read `belt` (dry). S46, a parts manufacturer's technical bulletin, lists the Ford 1.5 EcoBlue (Focus IV, Transit Connect, Kuga III; codes ZTGA/Z2GA/BEGA/ZTDA) in the PSA DV5 fitment table and states the family runs a Timing Belt IN OIL for the distribution plus a small camshaft chain. Calling it dry understates the oil-spec dependency, which is the whole failure mode of a wet belt. Interval evidence unchanged and still not a Ford UK figure: Ford figure for the 1.5/1.6 TDCi as quoted by Haynes: Fiesta Mk7 diesel 112,500 mi or 10 years; Focus Mk3 diesel 125,000 mi or 10 years (two different Ford figures, both recorded). Autobaak: Fiesta 1.5 TDCi 180,000 km / 10 yrs (~112,000 mi), consistent with the Fiesta figure. For the 2018-on '1.5 EcoBlue' badge no Ford UK figure was fetched (Autodoc pages quoting 180,000 km / 10 yrs returned 403). The 1.5 EcoBlue is a dry belt, not a belt-in-oil (no source describes it as wet; the wet-belt Ford diesel is the 2.0 EcoBlue). Interference not stated by a fetched source.

Replace every 10 years or 150,000 miles

AUTODOC lists belt kits (117 tooth, Gates 'Camshaft driven') for the Kuga Mk2 1.5 EcoBoost BNMA/BNMB/BNMC with production 2016-2019 (E-S26). The existing '1.5 EcoBoost 4-cyl (2014-2018)' entry stops at 2018, so a 2019-built Kuga Mk2 matched only the chain Dragon. Paired with the Kuga Mk3 Dragon entry (2019-), a 2019 Kuga will correctly read 'could be either'. Interval 10 yrs / 150,000 mi is copied from the existing 4-cyl entry (Vehicle Service Pros, US trade) — no new interval source was found in this batch; drop the figure if the orchestrator prefers not to carry it without its own source.

Replace every 10 years or 150,000 miles

The Mondeo kept the belt-driven 4-cyl 1.5 EcoBoost after 2018: the 165 HP UNCN type is catalogued '2018-2026' with 117-tooth belt + water pump kits (E-S27), and the Dragon is not listed for the Mondeo (E-S24). The existing 4-cyl entry stops at 2018, so a 2019-on Mondeo 1.5 matched only the chain Dragon — wrong. Upper year left open because the catalogue range is open-ended. Interval copied from the existing 4-cyl entry — no new interval source.

Replace every 10 years or 150,000 miles

Vehicle Service Pros: 1.5/1.6 4-cyl use a standard dry belt, interval 150,000 mi (US). Parkers: Ford's original EcoBoost recommendation 10 yrs/150,000 mi, but warns 1.5/1.6 EcoBoost 'both wet belts and timing chains were used; VIN verification required' — contradicts VSP; record both. Autobaak lists 1.5/1.6 EcoBoost Focus at 200,000 km / 8 yrs (~124,000 mi). No Ford UK document fetched. Interference not stated by a fetched source.

VSP: dry belt, 150,000 mi (US). Ford US Fiesta MY2014/2015: 'Every 150000 miles: Replace timing belt (1.6L engine)' — the US Fiesta 1.6 line covers both the 1.6 Ti-VCT and the ST's 1.6 EcoBoost without distinguishing them. Parkers: Ford original 10 yrs/150,000 for EcoBoost; Haynes Focus Mk3 only quotes the Ti-VCT figure (100,000/8) for '1.6 engines', not the EcoBoost. Autobaak: 200,000 km / 8 yrs. Interference not stated by a fetched source. Re-sourced 2026-10-01: Lymm TBK549 'Ford EcoBoost 1.5 & 1.6 Timing Belt Kit' for JQDA/JQDB/JTDA/JTDB/JTBA/JTJA etc., 1596cc 4-cyl (W-S5); AUTODOC lists 56 timing belt kits for the Focus III 1.6 EcoBoost JQDA (W-S6) and 'Unfortunately, item Timing chain kit … is not available' for the same car (W-S7) — opposite-kit test passed (belt only).

Timing belt (cambelt)

Replace every 10 years or 125,000 miles

Ford figures as quoted by Haynes differ by era/model: Focus Mk2 (2005-2011) all diesels 100,000 mi or 8 years; Focus Mk3 (2014-2018) diesels 125,000 mi or 10 years; Fiesta Mk7 (2013-2017) diesels 112,500 mi or 10 years.

Wet timing belt (runs in oil)

Replace every 6 years or 100,000 miles

Belt-in-oil cam belt plus a belt-in-oil oil-pump belt (Dayco: 'the oil pump belt is always also changed along with the timing belt'). ORIGINAL Ford interval: 10 years or 240,000 km (150,000 mi) per Fleet News/City Auto Works; Hallcraft and Copthorne quote it as 10 years / 144,000 mi. REVISED by Ford General Service Bulletin 24-7042 (23 April 2024): 'Replace timing belt, tensioners and idlers at 6 years or 160,000 km (100,000 miles) - whichever comes first' for Transit, Transit Custom, Van and Tourneo built for Europe 2016-2023 (Fleet News 13 Aug 2024; Motorcare; Hallcraft; Palmers). Ford's stated reason: oil dilution from DPF regeneration. The bulletin as reported covers VANS only; whether the revised figure applies to Focus/Mondeo/Kuga/Galaxy/Ranger 2.0 EcoBlue is unresolved — JXL quotes 100,000 mi or 10 years for the Focus ST 2.0 EcoBlue. Ford UK itself publishes none of these figures on an open web page; the GSB was not fetchable. Interference not stated by a fetched source.

Ford figures as quoted by Haynes: Focus Mk2 era 100,000 mi or 8 years; Focus Mk3 era 125,000 mi or 10 years. Autobaak: Focus 2.0 TDCi (2011+) 200,000 km / 10 yrs (~124,000 mi) — consistent with 125,000/10. JXL (Focus ST Mk3 diesel) quotes 100,000 mi or 10 years. Interference: a search snippet (replace-timing-belt.com) calls the Focus 2.0 TDCi an interference engine but the page was not fetched — left null. ADDED 2026-09-30: the belt is the main drive, but the 16-valve DW10/DW12 also has a camshaft-to-camshaft chain in the head - see secondary.

Opposite-kit test: AUTODOC lists 84 timing BELT kits for the Focus Mk2 2.5 ST HYDA (E-S4) and shows 'Unfortunately, item Timing chain kit ... is not available' for the same vehicle (E-S5). Camshaft test: Sealey VS4387, a camshaft-locking timing kit headed 'Belt Drive', lists HYDA/HYDB/HYDC/JZDA/HUBA/HUWA with the Volvo B5254T codes (E-S6) — the Ford 2.5T is the Volvo five-cylinder, which volvo.json already carries as belt-driven. Interval: 10 years / 120,000 miles is JXL Performance's Focus ST Mk2 guide (E-S7, UK trade, reported); it also says 'check every 5 years or 60,000 miles'. JXL's km conversions are wrong, so the miles figure is taken as stated. The widely repeated '125,000 miles / 10 years' Ford figure was found only in search snippets and forums and is NOT used. No Ford UK document found. For comparison, volvo.json's US Volvo bulletin gives B5254T3 120,000 mi / 10 yrs from MY2007 (a US-market figure for the Volvo-badged engine). Interference not stated by any fetched source.

BELT. Opposite-kit test: AUTODOC lists 17 timing BELT kits for the Ranger 2.5 TDCi 4x4 143 hp 'WLAA' (SKF VKMA 94626 103 teeth, GATES K015651XS, INA 530 0664 10, BOSCH 1 987 946 533, SNR KD470.33, AISIN TSZ-010; H-S11) while its timing CHAIN kit page for the same vehicle carries the 'not available' banner (H-S12). Camshaft test: Ford's own UK parts shop sells a 'RANGER EVEREST TDCI TIMING CAM BELT TENSIONER 2006-2011', product no. 1449043 (H-S9) — Ford names the part a cam belt. INTERVAL unchanged and still weak: the only figure is the Autobaak aggregator's 'Ford Ranger 2.5 TDCi 105 kW: 120,000 kilometres or after a maximum of 6 years' (120,000 km = 74,500 mi; S38). No Ford, dealer or belt-maker interval was fetched in this pass either. Interference not stated.
