Understanding Wet Belts
You're Safe With Europit When It Comes to Wet Belt Replacement
If you've been searching for “wet belt replacement”, “Ford EcoBoost wet belt”, “1.2 PureTech timing belt”, or “belt in oil specialist” then you’ve definitely found the right place.
Europit Tyres are fully trained and equipped to replace wet belts professionally, using only genuine OEM parts, with loan vehicles and payment support available. Whether it’s a car, van or fleet vehicle, we have the expertise to do the job properly.
Vehicles Commonly Fitted With Wet Belts
Wet belts (often called belts in oil) are timing belts that run inside the engine, lubricated by engine oil. When serviced correctly, they work well, but if wrong oil is used, servicing is neglected or cheap belts are fitted, the belt can break down and cause major internal engine damage.
That’s why who you trust to repair them really matters.
You’ll find wet belts in, for example:
• Ford EcoBoost engines (1.0, 1.5 etc.)
• PSA 1.2 PureTech engines (Peugeot / Citroën / Vauxhall / DS models)
• Some Volkswagen Group and Renault engines also use the same system
If you are unsure whether your vehicle has a wet belt, just contact us and we’ll check it free of charge.
Why We Use Genuine Parts Only
There are cheaper aftermarket belt kits available, but wet belts are not something you gamble on.
Cheap belts can have many issues, including:
