Our Honda Wet Belt Replacement Process

Here's exactly what we do when your Honda comes in for a wet belt replacement:

1. Pre-job inspection: We check for existing oil contamination, turbo condition, and any signs of damage before we start
2. Main timing belt replacement: The primary wet timing belt, tensioner, and associated pulleys are all replaced with OE-specification parts
3. Oil pump drive belt replacement: The secondary belt underneath is replaced at the same time — this is the step most garages skip
4. Updated cam drive pulley fitted: Honda issued an updated cam pulley with an improved chamfer gap — we fit this as standard to extend belt life
5. Full oil system flush: All old contaminated oil and belt debris is flushed out completely
6. Oil strainer cleaned: The sump oil pick-up strainer is removed, inspected and cleaned — critical for preventing turbo failure
7. Honda-spec oil and filter: Refilled with 0W-20 to the correct Honda specification
8. All seals and gaskets replaced: Timing case seal kit and all one-use fixings replaced as per Honda specification
9. Timing verified: Engine timing confirmed correct with diagnostic equipment before any test drive
10. Final test and documentation: Full road test, diagnostic scan, and written service record issued
