Wet Belts – Keighley

As a leading independent garage in Keighley, The Motor Hive is knowledgeable at inspecting, repairing, and replacing all kinds of engine components, including wet belts.

Wet belts differ from timing belts, or cambelts, because they are located internally and lubricated by the engine’s oil, in a similar way to a timing chain. Several major manufacturers, such as Ford, Citroën, and Peugeot, have fitted wet belts in many of their engines because they are lighter than timing chains and create lower friction than traditional timing belts, designed to improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.

Wet belts were originally designed to last up to ten years or around 120,000 miles, but have been known to fail much earlier, sometimes at 30,000 miles. This can be caused by impurities in the engine oil, which creates excess wear and is an area of concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology. We recommend that, if your vehicle has covered around 50,000 miles, you should consider getting your wet belt checked soon to prevent potentially very costly damage.

As a reputable independent garage, The Motor Hive is a trustworthy wet belt workshop with highly skilled, experienced technicians and an excellent reputation. We are able to give you the professional advice you are looking for.
