A wet belt is a specific type of timing belt, or cambelt, that is submerged in the engine oil. Wet belts are becoming more popular in new cars because the oil helps reduce engine noise and fuel consumption.
Not sure if your car has a wet belt? You can check the owner’s manual or search your vehicle’s details online.
Regular wet belt inspections and servicing help prevent major issues and expensive repairs. Over time, a wet belt deteriorates and breaks down. When this happens, rubber particles can get into the oil, which can clog up the engine, block surrounding components and lead to engine failure. Servicing as recommended ensures the oil is replaced as necessary with the correct product, preventing issues. We also catch any problems with the belt itself, providing proactive replacements where needed.
Whether you need a general mechanic or a Ford specialist, we provide a full range of services to keep wet belt systems and wider vehicles running smoothly and extend their lifespan. We also work on all other types of timing belts for customers in Addlestone, Byfleet, Egham, Shepperton, Staines, Walton-on-Thames and the surrounding areas. Our work includes:
