How often do I change the belt in my Focus?

After how many miles does the timing belt on a 2015 diesel Ford Focus 1.5 have to be changed?

Hi Rory,

Assuming you really do mean the 1.5 TDCi diesel in the latest Focus (which was only launched in 2015), then Ford recommends every 180,000 kilometres or 10 years. We's suggest earlier if the car is used in town a lot in stop-start traffic. That applies to all 95hp and 120hp versions, as well as the 105hp ECOnetic model.
