Wet Belt Replacement in Westerham, Kent
Tatsfield Garage in Westerham, Kent, are Wet Belt Specialists
What Is a Wet Belt and Why Does It Matter?
Many modern cars – especially those from Ford, Peugeot, Citroen and Vauxhall – are fitted with something called a wet belt, also known as a belt-in-oil system. This is a type of timing belt that runs inside the engine, where it’s constantly lubricated by engine oil. It helps to keep your engine running smoothly by controlling the timing of important moving parts.
Because it’s bathed in oil, a wet belt is quieter and can improve fuel efficiency, but it also means it needs the right care to stay in good condition.

Wet belts usually fail when they haven’t had regular servicing. Unlike “dry” belts, these rely on clean, high-quality oil to stay healthy. Skipping oil changes or using the wrong oil can cause serious wear well before the manufacturer’s expected lifespan.
If a wet belt breaks, it can cause serious engine damage, because parts inside your engine may hit or rub against each other. That can mean a huge repair bill which could easily cost at least three times as much as having the belt replaced, or you may even be facing a full engine replacement.
Wet belt replacement is a specialist job that requires care, precision, and the right parts. At Tatsfield Garage, we carry out wet belt replacements using genuine Ford and PSA parts, and our technicians are fully trained to handle these complex systems with confidence.
