Wet Belt Replacement — FAQs
What is a wet belt?
A timing belt that runs inside the engine and is lubricated by oil. It synchronises the camshaft(s) and crankshaft for precise engine timing.
Why do wet belts fail early on some engines?
Oil chemistry, heat cycles, and maintenance history can cause the belt material to degrade or delaminate, releasing particles into the oil system.
When should I replace it?
Follow the stricter of the manufacturer interval or your oil condition and mileage. Many EcoBoosts benefit from replacement well before 10 years/100k miles if service history is unknown.
How long does the job take?
Typically 1–2 working days. We confirm once we’ve assessed your vehicle and parts availability.
What exactly do you replace?
Wet belt, tensioners, guides, oil pump belt (if fitted), oil filter, and fresh OEM-spec oil, plus a full oil system flush and timing verification.
Is there a warranty?
Yes — all wet belt replacements come with a full parts & labour warranty. Ask for details for your specific vehicle.
Can you repair engines damaged by a failed belt?
We can assess damage and quote for repairs where viable. In severe cases, engine replacement may be more economical — we’ll advise honestly.
