The Ford Edge is equipped with a timing chain. Unlike a belt, which requires routine replacement, a chain is designed to last the life of the vehicle. However, this doesn't always happen. This component is comprised of metal links. As long as the vehicle is running, the chain is moving and interacting with the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets. It works to make sure these elements are synC-HRonized at all times, since they control the opening and closing of intake and exhaust valves. A broken timing chain can result in very expensive engine damage. If You hear rattling in the engine compartment or notice metal shavings in the oil when it's changed, You need to have it inspected. The average cost to replace this part in the Edge is $980 to $1,230, including labor.

The 2010 ford edge uses a timing chain, which is more durable than a timing belt.
