I recently bought a used Ford Kuga and I'm not sure when the timing belt should be changed. I've heard different opinions, some say every 100,000 miles, others say 60,000. What is the most accurate recommendation and why?
ReplyHi Samuel, congratulations on your new Ford Kuga! As for the timing belt, the recommended mileage to change it is every 100,000 miles or 160,000 km. This is because the timing belt is an integral part of the engine and if it breaks, it can cause serious damage. It's always better to err on the side of caution and change it sooner rather than later. Hope this helps!
Hey Sam, I would recommend changing the timing belt every 60,000 miles. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially with a used car. If the timing belt breaks, it can cause the valves and pistons to collide, resulting in costly repairs. Don't take any chances, change it at 60,000 miles.
Hey there, I agree with the previous answers, it's better to change the timing belt sooner rather than later. I would recommend going with the 60,000 mile recommendation. Another tip is to always follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for your Ford Kuga to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Hope this helps!
