What is a Wet Belt?

A wet belt, also known as a belt-in-oil system, is a timing belt that operates submerged in engine oil. This modern design offers benefits like reduced noise, improved fuel efficiency, and compact engine design. However, wet belts are prone to breaking down when not properly maintained.

Common wet belt engine types include:

  • Ford Fiesta wet belt systems

  • Ford Focus wet belt engines

  • Ford C-Max wet belt engines

  • Ford Ranger wet belt engines

  • Ford Transit wet belt (EcoBlue)

  • Peugeot 208 wet belt systems

  • Citroën Cactus wet belt engines

  • Honda 1.5L & 1.0L Wet Belt Engines

For expert service in any of these, visit our Ford Wet Belt Page, Peugeot Wet Belt Services, or Citroën Wet Belt Care.
