Do you own a Ford Everest, Ford Ranger Or Ford Transit with the 2.0 Bi-turbo Ecoblue engine?
These engines run a Wet belt system for the camshaft drive, Failure of this belt causes catastrophic engine failure. As they are an interference engine. Which means pistons will hit the engine valves and cause a lot of head/valvetrain damage Resulting in expensive repairs.
These wet belt systems still require to be changed every 80,000-100,000kms like a standard cambelt.
Regular servicing helps increase the milage you are able to get from the belt without failure.
As pictured below this Wet belt is on the edges of failure. With cracking to both the back side of the belt and the inner edges of the drive teeth. Rubber debris is present in this case however can get a lot worse than pictured, These teeth strip off and cause the damage as mentioned above.
Contact us for any enquires towards having your wet belt changed and pricing.
