// The problem

The wet belt in a Transit

Many Ford Transits are fitted with a wet belt: the timing belt runs inside the engine, in oil.

Over time, the belt absorbs oil, becomes saturated and starts to break down.

If the wet belt fails, it can destroy the engine.

// Know the signs

Signs to look out for

  • 01Dashboard warning lights
  • 02Poor performance or rough running

These can have other causes, so a proper look comes first. Do not ignore them: get your Transit checked early.

// The job

What the job includes

  • Wet belt kit replacement: the belt, tensioners, seals and bolts
  • Engine reassembly with new oil
  • A full system check and test drive
