Ford Transit

If you drive a Ford Transit, one of the most important maintenance jobs you’ll face is the wetbelt replacement. The wetbelt (also known as a “belt-in-oil” timing belt) is fitted inside the engine and constantly runs in oil. Over time, it can break down and if it fails, it can cause serious engine damage.

• Avoid Costly Repairs – A failed wetbelt can destroy your engine. Replacement is far cheaper than rebuilding or replacing the engine.
   
• Manufacturer Guidelines – Ford recommends wetbelt replacement at specific mileage and age intervals. Ignoring this can risk breakdowns and higher repair bills.
   
• Common Ford Transit Issue – Many Transit owners experience problems with wetbelts. Staying ahead of the issue keeps your van reliable.
   
• Timing Belt vs Wetbelt – Unlike a dry timing belt, the Ford Transit wetbelt sits in oil, which causes it to degrade differently and often faster.
   

• Rattling or ticking from the engine
   
• Reduced power or sluggish performance
   
• Engine warning light on
   
• Oil contamination or debris in the oil filter
