Protect Your Engine – Book Your Wetbelt Service with AMS Ltd
At AMS Ltd, Barton-le-Clay, we specialise in wetbelt (timing belt in oil) replacement and servicing. If your car is fitted with one of these belts, it’s essential to have it checked and replaced on time – or you could be facing major engine damage.
What Is a Wetbelt?
What Is a Wetbelt?
Many modern engines – including popular Ford EcoBoost, Peugeot, Citroën and Vauxhall models – use a timing belt that runs inside the engine oil. This is known as a wetbelt.
Unlike a traditional dry timing belt, the wetbelt is constantly exposed to hot engine oil. Over time, the rubber breaks down, contaminates the oil, and risks blocking the oil pickup.
Why Wetbelt Maintenance Matters
Why Wetbelt Maintenance Matters
If left too long, a worn wetbelt can:
Shed debris into the engine oil.
Block the oil pump pickup, starving the engine of lubrication.
Cause catastrophic engine failure – often requiring a full replacement engine.
Replacing the wetbelt on schedule is far cheaper than replacing your engine.
When Should It Be Replaced?
Manufacturers vary, but in most cases replacement is recommended around 60,000 miles / 6 years (sometimes sooner depending on driving style and oil quality). If you’re unsure, call us – we’ll check your vehicle’s service requirements.
Warning signs your wetbelt may need attention include:
Rattling or unusual noises from the engine.
Dark or gritty oil.
Service light or warning messages.
A history of long service intervals or missed oil changes.
