Does the Ford Focus 1.6 Tdci utilize a timing belt or timing chain in its engine mechanism?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Ford Focus's 1.6L TDCi engine in the third generation uses a timing belt, which typically needs replacement between 75,000 to 100,000 miles. You'll probably only have to replace it once, maybe twice during the car's lifespan. A complete timing belt kit with a water pump for this engine can range from $150 to $225. If you choose to have a mechanic handle the replacement, you can expect to pay between $500 and $850 for parts and labor combined.
