Soul Garages

Thank you to MK & NN Pulse 👇

Most drivers know when a tyre looks low or a warning light appears. But some of the most expensive problems can be developing where you can’t see them.

Soul Garages is putting the spotlight on two increasingly important issues: diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and wet timing belts.

What causes DPF problems? Why can short journeys matter? And how can a deteriorating wet belt lead to much more serious engine trouble?

The first instalment explains what every motorist should know — and why understanding the warning signs could make a significant difference to your repair bill.

These pieces came from inside a customer's engine 😱

They are pieces of a deteriorating wet timing belt...a wet belt operates inside the engine - in oil. If it begins to break down, pieces can enter the oil system and potentially restrict the flow of oil around the engine – risking much more serious and expensive damage 😬

The difficult part? Many motorists don't even know whether their car has a wet belt 🤔
