Timing Belt & Wet Belt Replacement FAQs

How often does a timing belt need replacing?

Timing belt replacement intervals vary by manufacturer and engine type, but are typically between 60,000 and 100,000 miles or every 5–10 years. Wet belts often have different intervals and should always be checked against the manufacturer’s guidance. If you’re unsure, we can check this for you.

What is a wet belt?

A wet belt is a type of timing belt that runs inside the engine and is lubricated by engine oil. Wet belts are commonly found in certain Ford, Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citroën engines and require specialist tools and procedures when replacing.

What happens if a timing belt fails?

If a timing belt or wet belt fails, it can cause serious engine damage, often resulting in costly repairs or even complete engine failure. Replacing the belt at the recommended interval helps prevent these issues.

Do you replace both timing belts and wet belts?

Yes. We carry out both traditional timing belt replacements and wet belt replacements using quality parts and manufacturer-recommended procedures.

Can you check if my timing belt is due?

Absolutely. We’re happy to look up the manufacturer-recommended replacement mileage or age for your vehicle.
