Does the 09 Ford Focus have a timing belt or timing chain?

The 2litre diesel is chain driven

It depends what engine you have. Google your engine and find out for yourself.

Ztec is a timing belt - 100k mile change interval.

Chain

Just open your hood and look at the motor cover behind your drive belt. If it's plastic you have a timing belt. If it's metal it's a timing chain. Now you'll know how to tell on every motor you look at.

Yes, it does. READ the owner's manual that came with the car. Specifically, the part about scheduled maintenance. If there's nothing in there about replacing the timing belt, then it probably has a chain.

I've been trying to figure out the same

It has a chain.

Everything from about '95 on has belts.

Yes

  • How much does it cost to get timing chain done? Recently we bought a car 08 ford crown victoria at a car auction. It had a blown head gasket and we had a friend fix it for us, he put it all together and now car won't start. He thinks he did the timing chain wrong. Was wondering how much it would cost to take it to an actual mechanic to redo the timing chain. Also he thinks one of the heads are bad so how much would that cost as well?
  • Is 2600 dollars a fair price in ford for a broken rear timing chain cassette on a 2006 explorer? I took my explorer to ford and they diagnosed that the noice I been asking about is coming from a the rear timing chain cassette. So they have to pull the motor out and service the broken cassette. My problem is I'm getting charged 600 bucks for parts and I found in ford parts the timing chain kit is only 255.33 plus tax I know a couple of gaskets need to be put on but I have doubts that is 600 dollars worth in parts
  • When to change timing chain and belt? When do you change timing chain and timing belt on a ford expedition V8? My dad has never changed them and I told him that he probably needs to already because it could be dangerous if he keeps driving it like that. The truck has almost 200,000 miles. And he has never had any problems with the engine. I just checked the owners manuel and it says just to inspect it at 120,000 but it never says when to replace it.
