Timing belt OEM FORD or OEM Volvo

My rangers belt was identical to this when I bought it at 210

Sold my 87 F150 Lariat, normal cab, 8 foot bed, 302 2 wheel drive, it had over 450,000 miles, sold it to a drummer, then he sold it to a pest exterminator company! Had 3 different radiators and 3 different alternators, timing belt replaced, otherwise pretty trouble free!

I've done many timing belts. The locking tool is a "nice to have" but certainly not required. You should be checking your cam sprocket alignment before turning the engine over, anyway, so just take your time and be careful and you'll avoid most issues.

I have a lease 2020 transit, put it in for a new timing belt at 96k miles, drove a further 500miles after belt change and engine blew, found fault to be a bolt snapped on belt pulley, engine now scrap!\nThis van has full ford service history at every interval, and top-up oil was correct Castrol grade used everytime, garage told me they have three other vans in with same fault!

I hate Ford Ecoboost with all of my soul. I drive a Focus Ecoboost with a fucking rubber timing belt running inside the oil, no way to check it but Ford says it should last 10 years or 240.000 km. Well.. mine lasted for 7 years and 117.000 km and with it slowly crumbling and destroying the engine.

My 1.0 eco boost is on its third engine at only 80k due to Ford’s brilliant oil soaked timing belt time bomb

Mine has been unreliable. The timing belt blew, both lower control arms and shocks needed to be replaced, and also both wheel bearings. Just my experience, I got mine at 130k and I'm at 155k now. Im getting rid of it. \n\n\nSo if anyone wants a c30 with a ton of work done feel free to message me lol. Its perfectly good now, fun to drive and I bet thats about everything that needed to be replaced.

I have a 2007 S60 and the timing belt was replaced by a non-specialist soon after I purchased it. The tension on the belt has to be just right, and the non-specialist mechanic way over-torqued it. Had I not noticed the issue and taken the car to a specialist, it could have pulled the engine apart.
