Wet Belts – Derby

As a leading independent garage in Derby, Tech-Tonic Vehicle Repair is well-versed at inspections, repairs, and replacements of all kinds of engine components, and this includes wet belts.

Unlike other types of timing belts, like cambelts, wet belts run internally and are lubricated by the engine’s oil, in a similar method to a timing chain. Manufacturers such as Ford, Citroen, and Peugeot have adopted this method in many of their engines because they are lighter than a metal timing chain and create lower friction than the traditional timing belt, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Originally designed to last up to 10 years or around 120,000 miles, wet belts have been known to fail much earlier, even as early as 30,000 miles, often due to impurities in the engine oil creating excess wear. Clearly this is a cause for concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology and we recommend that, if it has covered around 50,000 miles, you should consider replacing it soon to prevent potentially very expensive damage.

Tech-Tonic Vehicle Repair is the wet belt expert to trust because we are highly skilled and have an excellent reputation for honesty and integrity, and this means you will be well looked after. Our workshop technicians are highly experienced and will be able to give you the professional advice you are looking for.
