Wet Belts – Cork

Ardfallen Motorcare is a leading independent garage in Cork, well-known for inspecting, repairing, and replacing all kinds of engine components, and this includes wet belts.

Wet belts are different to timing belts or cambelts, because they are located internally and lubricated by the engine’s oil, in a similar process to a timing chain. Several major manufacturers, amongst them Citroen, Ford, and Peugeot, have employed wet belt technology in many of their engines because they are lighter than timing chains, create lower friction than traditional timing belts, and are designed to improve fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.

Originally designed to last up to ten years or around 200,000 kilometres, wet belts have been known to fail much earlier, sometimes at 50,000 km, and this can be caused by impurities in the engine oil creating excessive wear. This could be an area of concern if your vehicle uses wet belt technology, and it’s recommended that if your vehicle has covered around 70,000 km, you should consider getting your wet belt checked soon to prevent potentially very expensive damage.
