Ford Wet Belts – Co. Longford

Wet belts are so named because they are located inside the engine and are lubricated by oil, similar to a timing chain.

However, they are lighter than metal timing chains and create lower friction than the traditional external timing belt. Originally popularised on Ford EcoBoost and EcoBlue engines for their fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, wet belts have now become popular with other manufacturers such as Peugeot and Citroen. Designed initially with a life expectancy of around 150,000 miles, or up to ten years, it is not uncommon for wet belts to fail much sooner – sometimes as early as 30,000 miles.

With this in mind, Morgan's Garage are pleased to offer advice about the condition of your vehicle’s wet belt, especially after its mileage hits around 30,000 miles, by providing an honest appraisal of its condition for your complete peace of mind. You could be avoiding a potentially expensive repair bill.

Wet belts can fail prematurely for several reasons, and contaminated oil containing soot particles or other impurities is one of the most common issues. This causes deterioration of the belt, leading to failure, so it’s essential to make sure the oil is changed regularly to prevent this situation. At Morgan's Garage, we are highly experienced in working with wet belts, particularly on the EcoBoost engine, and our technicians are highly qualified and knowledgeable. Our workshop in Co. Longford is fully equipped to deal with all the latest engine types and we are happy to work on all makes and models.

This affiliation means that we are trustworthy and reliable, and a leading independent garage in Co. Longford.
