How many kilometers should the timing belt of a Ford Focus be replaced?
1 Answers
Ford Focus timing belts generally need to be replaced after driving more than 50,000 kilometers. Here are the specific details about timing belts: Replacement based on specified mileage: The timing belt is a consumable part. Once the timing belt breaks, the camshaft will not operate according to the timing, which can easily cause the valves to collide with the pistons, resulting in severe damage. Therefore, the timing belt must be replaced according to the mileage or time specified by the manufacturer. Function of the timing belt: During the operation of a car engine, four processes continuously occur in the cylinders: intake, compression, explosion, and exhaust. Each step must be synchronized with the movement and position of the pistons to coordinate the intake, exhaust, and piston movements. The timing belt, driven by the crankshaft, transmits power to the corresponding components.
