that's 160,000km.

I think Ford will cover any failures even if the car is out of warranty. double check that with your dealer.

According to ford its every 125.000 miles or 10 years from august 05 on.

The tensioner should always be done and will come with a timing belt kit, Its advised to change the water pump too.

Is there any web sites that tell you if you model has a belt/chain and when it needs to be changed?
