What is a wet belt and what does it do on my Citroen?
A wet belt, or timing belt, is a rubber belt inside your Citroen’s engine, responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Unlike dry belts, wet belts are lubricated by engine oil, making them quieter and more efficient. However, over time, these belts wear down due to constant exposure to oil, and if not replaced, they can break, causing serious engine problems.
Why you need to replace your Citroen wet belt:
Neglecting your Citroen’s wet belt can lead to the following issues:
-
Engine misfires or performance issues
-
Potential engine failure due to the belt snapping
-
Increased repair costs if internal components are damaged
Replacing the wet belt on time on your Citroen is critical to maintaining your engine's health and ensuring a smooth ride. At Fastlane Autocare, we use manufacturer-approved parts and follow Citroen's specific service guidelines to ensure your wet belt replacement is done correctly.
