FAQ

What is a wet belt and why does my Ford EcoBoost/EcoBlue engine have one?

A wet belt, also known as a timing belt, runs inside the engine's oil system. Ford uses this design in their 1.0 EcoBoost and 2.0 EcoBlue engines. While it can offer certain advantages, it also requires periodic maintenance to prevent degradation and potential engine damage.

Is having my Wet Belt replaced a big job?

Yes, replacing the wet belt on Ford EcoBoost and EcoBlue engines is a complex and involved process. It requires specialized tools, technical expertise, and careful attention to detail. Because the wet belt operates inside the engine, accessing it involves dismantling parts of the engine, including the top, side, and bottom. This is why it's crucial to trust this job to experienced professionals like the team at TGPP-Autocare.

How often should I replace the wet belt on my Ford EcoBoost/EcoBlue engine?

 Ford recommends every 10 years or 150,000 miles - (whichever comes first). However, factors like driving conditions and oil quality can affect the belt's lifespan. It's best to consult your owner's manual or contact us for personalized advice.

What are the signs that my wet belt needs replacing?

Common warning signs include: unusual engine noises (e.g., ticking or rattling), oil pressure warning light illumination, reduced engine performance, or misfires. If you notice any of these, it's crucial to have your vehicle inspected immediately.

What happens if I don't replace the wet belt?

A worn or damaged wet belt can cause serious engine damage, including oil pump failure, timing issues, and even complete engine failure. These repairs can be very expensive, so preventative maintenance is essential.

How long does a wet belt replacement take?

The replacement process typically takes a full day (8 Hours), depending on the specific engine and any other necessary repairs. We'll provide you with a more accurate estimate when you book your service.

How much does a wet belt replacement cost?

The cost is £1100 but varies depending on the engine model, parts used, and labor. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your vehicle.

What parts do you use for wet belt replacements?

We use only genuine Ford parts or high-quality OEM-equivalent parts to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and longevity for your engine.

Should I have it replaced?

Absolutely YES ! – Replacing the Wet Belt is certainly not a cheap job as it takes approximately 8 hours but should this be neglected and the belt fail then the alternative would be that you need to spend thousands of pounds on a replacement engine! To book in please get in contact on 01438 232556

Why do you replace so many components?

We believe in doing the job right the first time. Replacing these additional components during the wet belt service is a preventative measure. It minimizes the risk of future problems and ensures the long-term reliability of your engine. This saves you time and money on potential future repairs.

Why do you clean the oil strainer?

Cleaning the oil strainer is a crucial step. As the wet belt degrades, it can shed debris that can clog the strainer, leading to oil pump issues and engine damage. Cleaning the strainer prevents these problems and ensures proper oil flow.
