Hi everyone

Hi, My name is Brad, within the last year I had a 99 contour se 4 cyl. given to me. the timing belt broke so i found this site just to back up what the mechanic was telling me. this is a great site and I have been using it for research and learning a lot from everyone on here. thanks

welcome! you'll find that on here, there is more information about our cars than any mechanic in the world could tell you. you'll like it a lot on here. just read over the rules posted in the stickies and you'll be golden

Yeah this site is pretty much like having your own personal mechanic. There are several guys on here that can tell you about anything on the contiques (contour/mystique) :D

Welcome Brad.

Excellent, you used the search feature! :cool: Just about anything you'd want to know can be found by doing a search.

Yep, this is a great site and you will learn a lot!

yup, the timing belts are known to break after 100K miles, although if the car lived a very relaxed life they have been known to go as far as 150K (which is what it was in my case), fortunately the zetec IS a non interference engine, which means there wont be head/valve damage if it happens.
