LETS TALK WET BELTS 🚘🛠️
Here at Autofix North East we offer professional wet belt inspection and replacement services using the latest diagnostic tools and skilled technicians.
WHAT IS A WET BELT?
A Wet belt is a timing belt that runs inside the engine, bathed in engine oil rather than outside in the open like a traditional cam belt. If you are not certain you car has one we can check by registration.
SIGNS YOUR WET BELT NEEDS ATTENTION?
A worn belt doesn’t always announce itself, there are warning signs worth acting on:
- A rattle or ticking from the engine on cold start up
- An oil pressure or oil warning light
- A whine that wasn’t there before
- Simply the engine reaching the age and mileage
WHEN SHOULD A WET BELT BE REPLACED?
This completely depends on the engine and how the car has been driven. manufacturers publish a replacement interval based on age and mileage, but because of how these belts wear in the real world it is advised to replace before running to the official limit.
