FORD ECO-BOOST WET BELT REPLACMENT IN SWINDON

PJS Autos - Ford Specialists

Wet Belt Replacement for Ford

Ford Eco Boost Wet belts
Unlike most cars that use timing belts, the Ford 1.0L EcoBoost engine introduced in 2012 uses a wet belt. This wet belt is located inside the engine and runs in the engine oil.
Mostly found in the Fiesta, Focus, Transit Connect Van, and B-Max.
It is recommended by Ford that you replace the wet belt every 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. It can also be noted that there are actually 2 x wet belts in these engines, Timing and Oil Pump Belt.
However, PJS Autos of Swindon can tell you from experience, that it is never worth waiting until the 10 years or 150K Miles is up, as premature belt failures can occur. We would recommend changing it approx. every 8 years or 80,000 miles.
Replacing the wet belt is a complex job that requires special tools and knowledge, all of which we have. It is not a recommended DIY task.

What is involved

Drain the engine oil and coolant.
Remove the engine mounts and support the engine.
Remove the intake manifold and other components to access the timing cover.
Use the appropriate tools to lock the crankshaft and camshafts in position.
Remove the old wet belt and install the new one.
Reinstall all of the removed components and torque all of the bolts to the proper specifications.
Refill the engine oil and coolant and bleed the cooling system.

If you are considering having your Ford EcoBoost's wet belt replaced, then please get in touch as we are specialist with the wet belts and as we are known for offering the dealership service without the price tag.

I’ve visit PJS Autos twice in the past month and both times the service has been amazing! They’ve kept in contact with me regularly throughout the day and answered any questions I had in detail. Both visits the work required was completed quickly with my car ready to collect just a few hours later. I would highly recommend and would absolutely use the team again. Thank you all ☺️

I have been going to PJS for many years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They are always helpful and honest, and they give great service at a good price. They were recommended to me, and I totally recommend them to anyone looking for a place to get their car fixed.

My experience whenever I have used PJS Autos has always been a positive one. From the staff at the reception, to the mechanics in the main workshop area, everyone is very polite and attentive. These guys pride themselves on providing providing a high quality service, and it’s very apparent. Highly recommended 👌🏼

Just had my Ford Escort Ecoboost wet cam belt changed. The only firm that replied when I Googled my request. Very detailed quote, very competitive compared with the Ford Dealer and well worth travelling up from Somerset to have the work done. Everyone at PJS was friendly and helpful. The work was done in the time confirmed and the quote was spot on. I even had a lift from Jazie back to Swindon Station when I dropped the car off. Great service and would fully recommend this firm.

Each job has been completed swiftly with very reasonable prices and an incredibly friendly service. I highly recommend this garage especially for Ford Jobs
