Wet Belts – Gloucester

Woodrow Way Garage is a leading independent garage in Gloucester, and vastly experienced at the inspection, repair, and replacement of all timing belts – including wet belts.

Differing from the traditional internally-located dry timing belts, or cambelts, wet belts are lubricated by the engine’s oil, similar to a timing chain. Several major manufacturers, such as Ford, Peugeot, Citroen, and Vauxhall, have fitted wet belts in many of their engines, for example, Ford’s EcoBoost. This is because wet belts are lighter than a metal timing chain and produce lower friction than traditional timing belts, providing improved fuel efficiency and a reduction in exhaust emissions.

Wet belts were originally designed to last up to ten years, or around 120,000 miles, but many have been known to fail much earlier, sometimes as soon as 30,000 miles. Common causes are impurities in the engine oil, which create excessive wear, and this factor can be an area of concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology. We recommend that if your vehicle has covered around 50,000 miles, you consider getting the condition of your car’s wet belt checked soon. Woodrow Way Garage has a reputation for honesty and transparency and is the local wet belt expert you can rely on. Our highly skilled and vastly experienced technicians can give you professional and impartial advice.
