Wet Belt Replacement for Ford Cars in West Malling: What You Need to Know
Wet belt replacement services at King Street Motor Services, West Malling, Kent
If you drive a Ford with an EcoBoost engine, you’ve probably heard about “wet belts.” At King Street Motor Services in West Malling, we specialise in wet belt replacement—helping local Ford owners avoid costly engine damage and keep their cars running smoothly.
What is a Wet Belt?
Wet belts (sometimes called “timing belts in oil”) are used in many modern Ford engines, including popular models like the Fiesta, Focus, and Transit. Unlike traditional timing belts, wet belts run inside the engine, lubricated by oil.
Why Do Wet Belts Need Replacing?
Over time, wet belts can degrade due to constant exposure to engine oil and heat. If not replaced at the recommended interval (often around 100,000 miles or 8 years, but always check your Ford’s handbook), the belt can break or shed material, leading to serious engine damage.
Warning Signs Your Wet Belt Needs Attention:
Ticking or rattling noises from the engine
Engine warning lights on the dashboard
Loss of power or rough running
Scheduled mileage or age for replacement approaching
