If it hasnt been changed scince new and has done average milage then change it, keep the car serviced, treat it well and it will treat you well *:) If the cam belt goes your car may as well be thrown away so it is advisable to cahnge every few years. It will tell you in the handbook after how many miles.

in case you do not have an proprietor's guide that got here with the motor vehicle then attempt identifying on one up at an vehicle factors shop. frequently the upkeep schedule is in there. also, contact the service branch on the nearest Ford dealership, they ought to be able to furnish you a complicated schedule. good rule of thumb...if that is a belt then it probable desires to get replaced each and every 60,000 to 70,000 miles.
