Wet Belts
Some manufacturers use wet belts, which are similar to cambelts, but operate internally and use engine oil in the same way that chains do.
Wet belts have their name because, unlike cambelts, they are kept wet by oil. In theory, this means that they are less likely to crack and deteriorate like dry cambelts, however, this is not always the case. At Western Way Garage in Ponteland we are one of the very few garages in the area that specialise in wet belt repair and maintenance issues. We are independent wet belt experts with the relevant timing tools and equipment to work on most vehicles.

However, with regular maintenance, including oil and filter changes, any issues with wet belts can be caught before they have a chance to cause any damage. If you see an engine warning light come on in the dash, get in touch with our team at Western Way Garage in Ponteland straightaway so that we can assess and sort the situation.
