The Ford 1.0 EcoBoost & Ford 2.0 Ecoblue engine’s innovative wet belt—a timing belt that runs submerged in engine oil—has been plagued by premature degradation, often disintegrating as early as 40,000-50,000 miles due to factors like frequent short trips, contaminated oil, or improper maintenance, far short of Ford’s recommended 150,000-mile lifespan. When it fails, rubber particles can clog the oil pickup screen, leading to lubrication starvation, catastrophic engine damage, and repair costs exceeding £5,000. At Letchworth Garage & MOT, we specialise in proactive wet belt replacements to safeguard your Ford, preventing breakdowns and extending engine life—book in today for peace of mind.
