Does a 2004 Mustang have a timing belt or chain?
All 2004 Ford Mustang engines have a timing chain and are interference.
When do I need to change my timing belt?
Most models, like those with 3.2-liter engines, do not need their timing belt replaced until they hit 92,000 miles or after six years, whichever comes first. Others can go as long as 105,000 miles before the belt has to be replaced. Most Audis have a recommended timing belt replacement at 110,000 miles.
What happens if the timing belt goes on a non interference engine?
Non-interference engines do not risk this contact if the timing belt goes. Nonetheless, a failed timing belt will leave you stranded with either type of engine, so it is important to know the replacement interval for your specific model and have your belt replaced accordingly.
What happens if your timing belt skips or breaks?
In an interference engine, the valves and piston share the same airspace and the timing belt keeps them from touching. This is why you’ll have a major engine failure on your hands if the belt breaks or skips.
