Specialist work
Wet Belt Specialists.
Some modern engines run the timing belt inside the engine, in oil. As it wears it can shed debris into the oil, and if it fails the engine can be badly damaged. We check, advise on and replace wet belts and dry timing belts, so ask before it turns into a bigger bill.
- Belt-in-oil engines include
- Ford 1.0 EcoBoost
- PSA 1.2 PureTech (Peugeot, Citroën, Vauxhall)
Book a check if you notice
- An oil pressure or engine warning light
- A harder brake pedal than usual
- Your belt change is due by age or mileage
