2006 Fiesta, Timing Belt Concern

My daughter bought a 2011 Fiesta with 187,000...The car has been very well maintained but I don't know if the timing belt has been changed. Are there any experiences with this milage with a Fiesta? Since its a 2011, I was wondering if it's safe for me to wait 2 or 3 months for a more convient time to do the job.

Don't risk it... it's either a new timing belt now or possibly a blown engine later.

Re: 2006 Fiesta, Timing Belt Concern

The Ford PDF for that year says it is rated for 150,000 miles. But most other cars are on a 100,000 mile schedule. I personally would change it immediately. You have 2006 in desc. and 2011 in msg., I see prices from 65 to 105 for a timing belt kit depending on the year and reports from forums of 6 to 12 hours to replace depending on the year and your experience. You'll have to do your own searching for your specific needs.
