It's not rubber but it is a belt.

eh? wtf?? if it's not rubber, wtf is it? and if it's a belt and not rubber, at the risk of repeating myself, wtf is it??

afaiaa all the zetec engines are belt driven which require replacement somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 miles

Its black, flexible, looks like, its made out of the similar material as a fan belt which is made up of synthetic rubber?

Thanks....
