What Is a Wet Belt?
A wet belt is a timing belt that runs inside the engine, constantly lubricated by engine oil. They are commonly used in many modern vehicles, particularly in Ford EcoBoost engines and certain models from PSA, Vauxhall, and Peugeot.
While wet belts are designed for longevity, they can deteriorate over time due to oil contamination, age, or poor servicing history.
Why Wet Belts Need Replacing
As a wet belt begins to break down, small particles can contaminate the oil system, potentially causing serious engine damage. Common warning signs include:
Rattling or ticking noises
Reduced engine performance
Warning lights
Oil pressure issues
Poor fuel economy
Replacing a worn wet belt in good time can prevent costly repairs or even total engine failure.
