AIR CONDITIONING
Did you know your air-con should be regularly serviced and re-gasses every 2 years to keep your system in tip top and cool condition. We always add dye to our gas so in the event of your air-con system failing we can trace the leak to the faulty part and carry out any repairs. Did you know it is important to use your aircon during winter months as the gas contains a lubricant which prevents the seals drying and could prevent leaks. TYRES
We carry a selection of new tyre's in stock and can get particular tyres by the hour on order. Tracking and four wheel alignment is available.

Another day, another 'Wet Belt' ..

Jamie's inspection findings from a 2020 Transit wet belt showing significant wear.

What is a 'Wet Belt'?
- Unlike a traditional timing belt, a wet belt runs in engine oil which causes it to degrade quicker.
- As the belt degrades, it sheds microscopic rubber particles into the engine oil. These particles frequently block the oil strainer, causing sudden drops in oil pressure which can destroy the engine.

When should they be changed?
- All manufacturers are different, some suggest as early as 60,000 miles or 5 years (whichever comes first). However they can wear MUCH earlier.

Why get it done before the manufacturers recommendation?
- We see it more often than not where a wet belt has prematurely failed, which can be due to poor servicing or the nature of the design.
- A failed wet belt can cost thousands in repairs, major engine failure and a lot of stress.

Remember to look after your vehicle by getting it regularly serviced and do your research 📖
If your unsure as to whether your vehicle has a wet belt, pop us a message or give us a call.

Call us today or book online.
We have 12 ramps so capacity isn't a problem.
