    Car as in the description.

    Mileage around 90,000.

    The belt was replaced in 2012.

    Mileage from then about 15,000 km.

    I have not changed one strip and from what I know, only the mileage is written, I do not remember to write the date

    Added after 12 [minutes]:

    and I'm sorry, there is a date, but no one applies to it, the mechanic looks at the mileage, how do you think if someone in a 20-year-old car would change the timing no! where's the rust

    roller belt tensioner pump always replace set

    Added after 4 [minutes]:

    in your case belt pump tensioner buy yourself a good belt eg Reinz or skf. and you won't do it without blockages

    Added after 9 [minutes]:

    the lock on the shaft is behind the right half shaft, you need to unscrew the bolt on the key 10 and screw the lock there and on the batten

    Added after 3 [minutes]:

    and you have to release the gears

    That's how much the original from the first assembly rode - from what you can buy now is a risky hint - and so with 50%. The cost compared to the repair of the engine then small - it is worth mentioning for the sake of conscience, with the full history of the vehicle unknown.

    Keep these tips to yourself. The running time of the belt is just as important as the mileage.

    Why risky? The guy asked how many years to change the belt so I gave him periods from AD. You need to rely on some data. Of course, just for the sake of peace, everyone can assume that they will replace the belt, e.g. every 50,000. and 4 years and it won't hurt anyone.

    I work if the strap is not cracked it is good and if you are unsure about the timing it is simply exchanged

    First of all, you can see that culture is not on your way.
    Secondly, after 5 or 7 years of use, will you daily remove the cover and look at the belt or is it not cracked? Congratulations.

Topic summary

The discussion centers around the timing belt replacement for a 2003 Ford Focus 1.6 MK1, which has a low mileage of approximately 90,000 km and was last changed in 2012. Participants emphasize that while mileage is a critical factor, the age of the belt also plays a significant role in determining when to replace it. Recommendations suggest replacing the timing belt every 100,000 km or every 5-7 years, regardless of mileage. Additionally, it is advised to replace associated components such as the tensioner and water pump during the timing belt change. The importance of using quality parts, such as those from Reinz or SKF, is highlighted, along with the necessity of replacing the crankshaft bolt. Overall, the consensus is that regular inspection and timely replacement are crucial for maintaining engine integrity.
