It is important that you change the timing belt (also called a cambelt) in time on your Ford Fiesta. On this page you will find more information about the timing belt replacement intervals on a Ford Fiesta.
I have collected information about various popular diesel engines and petrol engines from 1996 to 2022.

When should the timing belt be changed on a Ford Fiesta?
The timing belt replacement intervals are different depending on what model year and engine you have in your Ford Fiesta.
Further down on this page you will find information about the intervals for different years and engines.
Also keep in mind that some motors have a timing chain. These usually do not need to be replaced.
If you hear a rattling sound from a motor with a timing chain, it may be a sign that the chain needs to be replaced.
Consult a mechanic if you hear a strange engine noise, especially if it is a rattling sound.
Ford Fiesta Timing Belt Replacement Intervals
Below are some examples of different timing belt replacement intervals. Keep in mind that both years and mileage are important to keep track of.
Even if your car has not traveled many miles, a timing belt still needs to be replaced. The material in the timing belts gets worse with age even if you do not use your car very often.
If you do not find your year model or engine, you can often find the information in your instruction manual or by calling a workshop.
