Wet Belts – Newton Abbot

AC Garage Services is a leading independent garage in Kingsteignton, Newton Abbot, well-known for inspecting, repairing, and replacing all kinds of engine components, and this includes wet belts.

Wet belts differ from timing belts, or cam belts, because they are located internally – lubricated by the engine’s oil, similar to a timing chain. Several major motoring manufacturers, including Citroen, Ford, and Peugeot, use wet belt technology in their engines because they are lighter in comparison to timing chains. They are also designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Originally expected to last around ten years, or 120,000 miles, wet belts have been known to fail much earlier, sometimes as soon as 30,000 miles, and this can often be attributed to impurities in engine oil, which creates excessive wear. If your vehicle uses wet belt technology and has covered around 50,000 miles, it’s recommended you consider having your wet belt checked soon, to prevent what could be very expensive damage. As a reputable independent garage, AC Garage Services is a trustworthy workshop with highly qualified Master-technicians, experienced with wet belt technology, and we can give you the expert advice you are looking for.
