Wet Belts – Aberdeen

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

Wet belts differ to timing belts, or cam belts, because they are located internally and lubricated by the engine’s oil, similar to a timing chain.

Several major motoring manufacturers including Ford, Citroën, and Peugeot, use wet belts in many of their engines because they are lighter compared to timing chains. They also create lower friction than traditional timing belts and are are designed to improve fuel efficiency while reducing emissions.

Wet belts were originally designed to last up to ten years, or around 120,000 miles, but have been known to fail much sooner, sometimes as early as 30,000 miles, and can be attributed to impurities in the engine oil which creates excessive wear. If your vehicle has a wet belt and has covered around 50,000 miles, this could be an area of concern and it is recommended that you should consider getting your wet belt checked soon to prevent what could be very expensive damages.

As a reputable independent garage, AW Autotech is a trustworthy workshop with highly skilled technicians experienced in all aspects of wet belt maintenance and replacement, and can give you the professional and honest advice you are looking for.
