Do timing belts in 1994 Ford Escorts ever need replacing?
I took my 1994 Ford Escort in to a local mechanic for a 90,000 mile maintenance check up. The mechanic asked if the timing belt had ever been replaced (it hadn't), and was amazed that it has held up for 90,000 miles. However, I checked my service manual and nowhere does it say anything about replacing the timing belt, or even checking the timing. Are the timing belts on this model maintenance free?
Thank you.
