Ford 2.0 EcoBlue Wet Timing Belt Replacement

Wet Belt Replacement for Ford 2.0 Ecoblue at LCM Automotive

At LCM Automotive, we specialize in the replacement of wet belts on Ford 2.0 Ecoblue engines. As one of the few garages in the local area with the tools, expertise, and experience to carry out this complex job, we perform numerous replacements every month — professionally, efficiently, and to the highest standard.

What is a Wet Belt?

The Ford 2.0 Ecoblue engine uses a Wet Belt — a rubber timing belt that runs inside the engine, submerged in oil — unlike traditional timing belts, which run externally.

While Ford recommends replacing the wet belt every 10 years or 150,000 miles, we’ve seen many belts failing earlier due to poor servicing, incorrect oils, or lack of maintenance. To avoid costly engine damage, we advise replacing the belt around 8 years or 80,000 miles for peace of mind. If the belt fails, it can result in catastrophic engine failure, often requiring a full engine replacement.

The 2.0 Ecoblue engine was first introduced in the UK in 2016, meaning many vehicles are now due — or even overdue — for their wet belt replacement. The 2.0 Ecoblue engine is fitted to many Ford Transits and Rangers.

Is Wet Belt Replacement a Big Job?

Yes, replacing the wet belt is a major job due to the belt’s location inside the engine. The process requires stripping down the top, side, and bottom of the engine to access the belt and oil pump drive belt. Several specialist timing tools are required to complete the job correctly, all of which we’ve invested in at LCM Automotive to ensure precision and reliability.
