12B. Wet Belt Replacement (Timing Belt)
Leading manufacturers such as Ford, Vauxhall, Citroen, Peugeot and VW use a Wet Belt instead of the traditional Timing belt, the main difference is that the Wet Belt runs inside the engine and a timing belt runs on the outside of the engine. It's recommended that these belts are replaced every 10 years or 150,000 miles however on some vehicles due to lack of servicing, poor maintenance or incorrect oils used we are seeing many of these belts failing prior to the suggested replacement interval so we suggest a replacement a lot sooner to be sure it does not fail. If the belt fails there is a high chance that a replacement engine will be required. Here at Automotive Services Bedford we can replace the Wet Belt of your vehicle before it causes any more harm to its engine.
