Ford Transit Wet Belt Replacement

The 2.0 EcoBlue engine in the Transit and Transit Custom runs its timing belt in oil. High-mileage vans, stop-start delivery work and stretched oil changes all accelerate belt breakdown, and the debris ends up in the oil pickup. We replace Transit wet belts with genuine Ford kits and get you back on the road with minimum downtime.

FAQs

Transit Wet Belt — common questions

Does the Ford Transit have a wet belt?
Yes — Transit and Transit Custom models with the 2.0 EcoBlue diesel use a belt that runs in engine oil. Older 2.2 TDCi Transits use a conventional dry belt or chain.
When should a Transit wet belt be replaced?
We work to the current Ford interval for your engine code, but on hard-worked vans doing short urban runs we often recommend replacement earlier than the book figure.
