    Mazda BT-50: Is the timing belt unreliable?

    Mazda Mazda Advice Mazda BT-50 Mazda BT-50 Advice Mazda BT-50 2011
    Just wondering if your readers have experienced the WE engines in the Mazda BT-50 and Ford Rangers breaking timing belts earlier than the replacement intervals of 120,000 km. I have a small workshop and have seen three now that have broken causing considerable and costly damage to valves and rocker gear.

    We haven't heard of belt failures like you report, but it would be good to hear from any of our readers who have suffered the problem. It sounds like a serious one.
