Timing Belt replacement
So according my internet research, they recommend changing out the Timing Belt between 60K and 100K on my 1.6L 2015 Ecoboost.. Have any of you done this and what did it cost to do it ? I understand this is a "interference" type engine.. so if the belt breaks, it could destroy the engine...

As dealership tech who has replaced many timing belts in my career, I say replace it sooner than later. And while you're in there, change the water pump as well. Although the water pump on this engine is not driven by the timing belt, it does require belt removal to access and replace. Also, water pump failures are relatively common on this engine at higher mileage.
