If you drive a Ford Transit or manage a fleet of them, there’s one issue you can’t afford to ignore: the wet belt. Also known as an oil-lubricated timing belt, this component is found in the 2.0L EcoBlue diesel engine used in many Transits from 2016 onwards. While designed for quiet operation and improved fuel efficiency, the wet belt system has become a common cause of serious engine damage and unexpected repair bills.

When the sun’s out or you’re stuck in traffic on a muggy day, your car’s air conditioning becomes more than just a luxury – it’s essential for comfort and safety. But like any system in your vehicle, your A/C needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. At TGPP-Autocare Stevenage, we offer professional air conditioning servicing starting from just £59.

Most drivers know the feeling—you hear a strange noise, a warning light flickers on the dash, or something just doesn’t feel right when you’re driving. It’s easy to ignore at first, but catching the issue early could save you a huge repair bill later on.

The Ford 1.0 EcoBoost engine has received praise from all corners of the motoring world. In fact, it’s won International Engine of the Year multiple times and has been celebrated for its combination of power, efficiency, and innovative engineering. But ask any technician, and you might hear a very different story—especially when it comes to the infamous wetbelt system.

In the automotive industry, certain manufacturers have moved toward a new timing belt design known as a “wet belt.” These timing belts operate submerged in oil, allowing them to be narrower, quieter, and more efficient. This design reduces friction, boosts fuel economy, and helps lower emissions, making engines run more smoothly and efficiently.
