Does the Ford Focus 2.0 liter engine have a timing chain or belt?

The Ford Focus 2.0 liter engine uses a timing chain, not a belt.

This is true for most, if not all, generations of the Ford Focus with the 2.0 liter engine.

Why is this important?

* Chains are more durable and require less maintenance than belts. They typically last the lifetime of the engine and don't need to be replaced as frequently.

* Chains are less likely to break than belts, which can cause catastrophic engine damage if they fail.

So, you can rest assured that your Ford Focus 2.0 liter engine has a reliable timing chain.
