How the B-Max could be affected by a Wet Belt
The Ford B-Max features the popular compact 1.0L EcoBoost engine in many models, which uses a wet timing belt system covered in oil. Over time, this belt can degrade and affect performance, especially if left for a longer period of time than the recommended. Unlike older dry belts, wet belts require specialist knowledge and tools to replace correctly which we offer here at Fastlane Auto Care - Autocentres.
Symptoms of a Failing Wet Belt in a B-Max
If your Ford B-Max is showing signs of reduced performance, it could point to a worn or failing wet belt. Drivers often notice unusual engine noises, such as rattling or ticking, particularly during slow starts. A noticeable drop in power or slower acceleration may also occur. In some cases, contaminated engine oil or blockage in the oil filter can be early signs of belt damage and if unchecked, these issues can lead to more serious engine damage, so it's best to get it checked by a professional as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Ford S-Max Wet Belt replacements:
Q - How long does a wet belt replacement take?
A - On average, a wet belt replacement takes around 6 to 8 hours. You can drop your B-Max off in the morning at our garage, and in a lot of cases, we should have it ready for you on the same day or the next day at the latest but this will depend on our schedule and work load.

A - Of course, wet belt replacements are one of our core services. Our experienced team has worked on plenty of Ford models, including the B-Max, and we’re fully equipped to get the job done efficiently, safely, and to a high standard.
Q - Will it damage my engine if I leave it too long?
A - Yes, unfortunately. If the wet belt starts to wear out or fail, it can lead to serious internal engine damage sometimes even requiring a full engine rebuild or replacement. Replacing it on time is the best way to avoid costly repairs down the line.
Q -Do you use genuine parts?
A - Yes, we only use genuine Ford parts or top-quality original equipment (OE) components. This helps keep your B-Max performing at its best and ensures long-term reliability.
Q - Can I wait until 150,000 miles?
A - We wouldn’t advise waiting that long. For the Ford B-Max, we recommend replacing the wet belt between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, or every 6 to 7 years, depending on how the car’s driven. Leaving it too late can increase the risk of serious engine damage.
