Wet Belts – Warwick

Wet belts are so named because they are located inside the engine and are lubricated by oil, similar to a timing chain.

However, they are lighter than metal timing chains and create lower friction than the traditional external timing belt. Wet belts have now become popular with manufacturers such as Ford, Peugeot, and Citroen because their other advantages include improved fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions.

VTS Automotive is pleased to offer advice about the condition of your vehicle’s wet belt, especially after its mileage hits around 30,000 miles, by providing an honest appraisal of its condition for your complete peace of mind. You could be avoiding a potentially expensive repair bill.

Wet belts can fail prematurely for several reasons, and contaminated oil containing soot particles or other impurities is one of the most common issues. This causes deterioration of the belt leading to failure, so it’s essential to make sure the oil is changed regularly to prevent this situation. At VTS Automotive we are highly experienced in working with wet belts, particularly on the EcoBoost engine (Ford cars and vans, Vauxhall, Peugeot and PureTech engines), and our technicians are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Our workshop in Warwick is fully equipped to deal with all the latest engine types and we are happy to work on all makes and models.

VTS Automotive is committed to offering the highest standards of work quality along with an exceptional level of customer service and this is reflected in our affiliation with The Good Garage Guide. We are determined to maintain and build upon our excellent reputation to remain at the top.
