car - 2006 m ford focus sport 1.8 tdci.
I bought the car at 126,000 miles, according to service book it was replaced at 95,000.
It was taken to a garage at 126,500 as was allegedly having the head gasket replaced, but it seems that they never replaced it, though they say the timing belt was also replaced I am not so sure.
the car is now at 158,400 miles, I can see the timing belt through looking through the plastic cover (cover snapped a little) and I realized I can see the ribs/lines on the bel, just wondered if this is normal or not?
I can still see some writing on the belt as well so is that a good sign?
the timing belt on these are 125,000 but obviously getting it done sooner than that is wise, if it was not replaced at 126,000 then I know for sure it was at 95,000. That would mean 63,000 or 31,000 since it was last replaced.
so is it normal to see the ribs/lines through on a timing belt?Thanks
