When to change my Focus's cambelt?

When does the cambelt need replacing on a 2012 Ford Focus 1.6 tdi edge

Our answer:

Hi Tel,

It depends on when your car's engine was built, annoyingly. If it was built up to July 2011 then the recommended interval is every 140,000km. If it was built after that its 180,000km. In both cases, it's every 10 years. 

This applies to all the various power outputs of this engine made in that time.
