Engine Belt System

What Is a Wet Belt on a Van?

A wet belt is a type of timing belt that runs inside the engine, lubricated by engine oil. Manufacturers introduced wet belts to reduce friction and improve efficiency, but they can be prone to wear over time.

​

Wet belts are commonly found in popular vans such as:

  • Ford Transit Custom

  • Ford Transit Connect

  • Peugeot Partner

  • Citroën Berlingo

  • Vauxhall Combo

  • Fiat Doblo

​

If your van uses a wet belt system, regular maintenance is essential.

Why wet belt replacement is so important

Unlike traditional timing belts, wet belts can degrade in oil, causing belt material to break down. This can lead to:

  • Blocked oil pickup pipes

  • Loss of oil pressure

  • Engine warning lights

  • Poor performance

  • Severe engine failure

​

Replacing your wet belt at the recommended interval can prevent unexpected breakdowns and expensive engine repairs.

If you rely on your van for work, staying ahead of wet belt issues is critical.
