Wet Belt Replacement & Maintenance

Unlike traditional dry timing belts, a “wet belt” system runs directly inside the engine’s oil. Over time, the friction, heat, and engine oil cause these belts to degrade. As they break down, microscopic rubber debris drops into the oil, clogging the oil pickup pipe and starving the engine of lubrication—potentially causing catastrophic engine failure. Regular inspection and timely replacement are absolutely vital to keep these engines alive.

At Galway Car Service Centre, we provide a dedicated, high-level wet belt replacement service for the most common affected vehicles on Irish roads. For Ford owners, we specialize in servicing the EcoBoost and EcoBlue setups found in the Fiesta, Focus, Transit, and Ranger, utilizing strictly OEM Ford parts to guarantee factory reliability. We also offer expert wet belt replacement for the 1.2 PureTech engines found across the Citroën and Peugeot ranges.

Our experienced mechanics follow meticulous installation procedures, thoroughly flushing the oil system and clearing the oil pickup grid during every replacement to ensure your engine retains perfect oil pressure and performance.
