Wet Belts – Bromley

Being a reputable independent garage in Bromley, LAC Automotive is well-known for carrying out inspections, repairs, and replacements on all kinds of engine components, including wet belts.

Wet belts are different from timing belts, or cambelts, because, being positioned internally, they are lubricated by the engine’s oil, in a similar way to a timing chain. Designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, several major manufacturers such as Citroen, Ford, and Peugeot have utilised wet belt technology in many of their engines because they are lighter than timing chains and create less friction than traditional timing belts.

Originally designed to last up to ten years or around 120,000 miles, wet belts have been known to fail prematurely, sometimes as early as 30,000 miles. This can be caused by impurities in the engine oil, which creates excess wear and this is an area of concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology. It is therefore recommended that, if your vehicle has covered around 50,000 miles or your engine is making unfamiliar noises, you should consider getting your wet belt inspected without delay to prevent the risk of sudden damage necessitating expensive repairs.
