Wet Belts – Poole

As a leading independent garage in Poole, Graham Hill Motor Technician is experienced at carrying out inspections, repairs, and replacements of most engine components, including wet belts.

Differing from other types of timing belts, such as cambelts, wet belts are located internally and lubricated by the engine’s oil, in a similar way to a timing chain. Manufacturers such as Ford, Citroen, and Peugeot have utilised this format in many of their engines because they are lighter than metal timing chains and create lower friction than traditional external timing belts, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Although originally designed to last up to ten years or around 120,000 miles, wet belts have been known to fail much earlier (even as early as 30,000 miles), and this is often attributed to impurities in the engine oil, which creates excessive wear. Naturally, this aspect can be a cause of concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology, and we advise you to consider having an inspection if it has covered around 50,000 miles. This action could prevent an unexpected failure and potentially very expensive consequential damages.
