Wet Belts

At Williams Garage in Otterbourne, Winchester, we’re skilled in wet belt inspections, maintenance, and replacements, particularly for Ford engines.

Wet belts are a key component in modern engines, operating within the engine oil to synchronise the camshaft and crankshaft. However, over time and especially without proper maintenance, these belts can degrade, leading to potential engine issues.

How do I know if my wet belt is the problem?

Common signs of wet belt problems include unusual engine noises, reduced performance, or a warning light appearing on your dashboard. These issues can become more frequent as the belt ages. Ignoring these symptoms may result in significant engine damage or costly repairs.

Does my vehicle have a wet belt?

Many modern vehicles have wet belts in their engines, especially those with a Ford 3-cylinder EcoBoost petrol engine, or a Ford 2L EcoBlue diesel engine. Engines much like these are used across various makes and models, including Citroen, DS, Jeep, Peugeot, and Vauxhall models, and some VW Group models with smaller TSI and TDI engines too.

If you’re not sure whether your vehicle has a wet belt, the first place to look is your vehicle handbook. Alternatively, you can Google your make and model and the year of manufacture with the words “wet belt” in the search, or pop into our garage in Otterbourne, Winchester where we’ll be happy to have a look for you.
