2016 Ford Focus - Timing Belt

Ford Focus Timing Belt

The timing belt on your Ford Focus is a rubber belt reinforced with nylon cords for strength that connects the camshaft(s) and crankshaft for proper engine timing. With age, the timing belt will stretch, and if it stretches or wears down too far, it can even break. Replacing the timing belt before it becomes too loose or breaks can prevent serious engine damage. Your Focus' owner's manual should include a replacement interval for the timing belt and timing components, and it is likely the timing belt will need to be serviced at least once while you own your car to prevent engine damage. When your Ford Focus is ready for a replacement timing belt, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries timing belts, timing cover gaskets, and water pumps for your repairs and maintenance.
