Same platform as the focus, similar drivetrain. The 1.6T models are all Ford Ecoboost engines, so you have to think of that expensive timing belt job. The T4/T5 are Volvo engines, but will be more costly to run with higher tax/insurance/lower mpg. If you like the Focus, you'll like the Volvo. Try around 50k to 60k.
Both wet belts finally booked in to be changed on my 13 plate 1.0 ecoboost. £1100 at Cedar garage in Worthing for both can and oil belt. They've said to have all the tools including locking and vct tools so sounds to me like a similar business to what others have quoted elsewhere, indie garage becoming experience and able to offer competitive prices.
It was likely bits from the timing belt or oil pump belt from wear. The belt looked good, the words Ford Motorcraft were still visible on the belt. To remove the sump, I removed the AC compressor and unbolted the top side of the catalytic converter pipe. There were I believe 16 bolts holding the sump, which are retorqued to 8 foot pounds.
