00 1.8 cambelt replacement - fredblogs
Hi,

I have a 200 V Focus 1.8 tddi and was wondering if anyone could tell me when the cambelt needs replacing on this car.

Also, how easy is this to do yourself at home if you are reasonably competent?

Thanks!

The replacement time is 10 years or 100,000 miles. Book time is 2.5 hours and it needs several special tools.
