Hi,

What's the cambelt life expectancy on the 2.5T 5 cyl engine used in the Mondeo Mk 4 and Focus ST.

Any idea of a rough cost of change?

Thanks - Rob

Small beer compared to the running cost of an ST!

Thanks for your reply - but I wasn't looking for opinions.

So, if anyone knows how long they last and what a rough cost is then I'd appreciate it.

Many thanks

Lighten up you lazy b*****.

It's a Volvo engine:105,000 or 10 years. Which ever is soonest. Cost will depend on who does it. Nothing out of the ordinary. There are no distributer pump timing issues like there are with the old VW V6 for instance.

Happy?

I cannot understand why people do not just look in a service book or ask an agent,

Because clearly he doesn't own one. Just a tyre-kicker who's seen one in autotrader for £1500 or something.
