Thanks for the thoughtfull reply.
You make two very interesting points. You have never known of a Zetec timing belt failure, and Ford has not given a definitive replacement interval. I wonder if Ford has some data on failures, ala the water pump data I saw recently. Does the CEG have sources at Ford? Who is Terry Haines?
It sounds like 80k is the best number available, although years in service might be a consideration. I would sure hate to break one.
By the way, was the Mondeo (and thus Zetec) actually designed in England?
