The wet belt controls the engine's timing by synchronising the camshaft and crankshaft. Unlike a cambelt, it is housed in the engine and lubricated with oil. It needs replacing at the correct intervals because it can cause severe engine damage if it fails.
Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Vauxhall and Citroen all use wet belts in some models. You can find out what type of timing chain or belt your car uses by checking your owner's manual.
In addition to replacing your car's wet belt at the recommended intervals, it's essential to maintain the right engine oil level and use the correct oil to prevent premature wear and tear. Contamination is one of the leading causes of wet belt-related engine problems.
Replacing a wet belt might seem expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. The chances are that it will cost less than fixing the damage if the belt fails.
