When should the cambelt on my Escort be replaced? After how many km or how many years?
You don't provide the age of the Escort and some of these models were fitted with chains which have no replacement period.
Suggest you pay your local garage a visit to confirm whether or not this model has a cambelt fitted.
This should only take a minute or so to confirm either way, and the mechanic should be able to provide the recommended replacement period.
