๐ง Vauxhall Mokka 2021 โ Wet Belt Reality Check ๐ง
35,000 miles.
Looks fine from the outsideโฆ
Not so fine inside. ๐
Today at PK Auto Garage Ltd we stripped down a wet timing belt.
What we found?
โก๏ธ belt wear
โก๏ธ contamination in the oil
โก๏ธ blocked oil pickup (strainer)
All sorted with:
โ๏ธ sump removal & oil pickup cleaning
โ๏ธ seals & bolts replaced
โ๏ธ full inspection done properly โ not rushed
โ๏ธfresh oil together with filter
โ ๏ธ Wet belts donโt forgive missed oil services.
Old oil = belt breakdown
Belt debris = oil starvation
Oil starvation = engine gone ๐ฅ
๐ข๏ธ Keep it simple:
โ๏ธ service your oil early
โ๏ธ donโt wait for warning lights
โ๏ธ check the belt before it checks you
If youโre driving a wet belt engine
