INA Wet Belt Replacements - Colchester

Wet belts are now fairly well-known to be prone to premature failure, but most of the time, this is due to the vehicle not being serviced frequently enough.

A wet belt is in oil, and that oil has to be kept clean and fresh to avoid the buildup of debris, which can damage the belt and lead to other components needing to be replaced earlier than they otherwise would.

How do I know when my wet belt needs replacing?

If you’re not sure when your car or van’s wet belt was last replaced, it’s probably time to visit Roy Tolley Express Service and have it inspected. Your service history should tell you, but if you’re not sure, we’ll be happy to help and advise.

There are also clues that your wet belt needs replacing:

• cracks and fraying on the belt’s surface (though you’d need to be in the engine to see this)
• a low oil pressure warning light on your dashboard
• the timing belt fails the “width” gauge test because it’s absorbed contaminents and has swollen
• you can hear a ticking, rattling, or whining noise when driving because the belt has stretched and is flapping about inside
• engine misfiring or loss of power – a bit like when a bike chain has stretched so much that it skips on the cogs, a stretched wet belt will jump out of sync with the engine.

Why We Use INA Wet Belts

Especially given wet belts’ reputation, it’s worth using quality components. That’s why we use INA wet belt kits, which are known across the motor trade for their precision engineering, durability, and manufacturer-level quality.

Original Equipment Quality
Part of the Schaeffler Group, INA supplies components to many leading car and van manufacturers. The parts we fit are made to the same standards as the original ones your car rolled out of the factory with.

Complete Kit Solution
INA timing belt kits include everything we need to safely fit your new wet belt: the belt, tensioners, and pulleys, and the water pump. This ensures complete compatibility so all the parts work perfectly together.

Built to Last
Durability is key with timing systems. While we always recommend following the manufacturer’s recommended intervals, you want to be sure that the belt will last that long with a good margin for safety. INA belts are built to fulfil that requirement.
