Ford Puma - timing belt renewal - Dave Y

Son has a Ford Puma coming up for 50K service & asked about timing belt renewal. Main dealer says that doesn't require replacing till 100K! Is it actually a chain? Does anyone know whether this is the reccomended interval. Many thanks in advance

The Puma has the Zetec S engine for which HJ recommends cam belt renewal at 80k. See HJ's FAQ 13.
