If you drive a Ford 1.0 EcoBoost, a Ford Transit/Ranger 2.0 EcoBlue, or a Peugeot/Citroën/Vauxhall 1.2 PureTech, your vehicle relies on this system. Deferring this maintenance is a ticking time bomb.

A typical wet belt replacement is a lot more in depth than a regular timing belt. The sump will be removed to access the oil pump belt and for a deep clean. In some cases lots of other parts need removing too, including cam covers, starter motors, alternators etc etc...
This all makes it a much more labour intensive and therefore a more ex
