Does the 2012 Ford Fiesta have a timing belt or chain?

The 2012 Ford Fiesta is equipped with a timing belt. The Fiesta requires a timing belt change every 60,000 - 90,000 miles. When replacing the timing belt, it is also common to replace the timing belt tensioner, idler pulleys, and the water pump. Timing belts are located outside of the engine and tend to dry out and crack. A failing timing belt can cause a ticking noise when the car is running. This is typically a sign that You have low oil pressure or that the engine isn't getting enough lubrication. If the timing belt has broken inside, the engine will not be able to turn over.
