Our cambelt and timing belt services in Weymouth
We handle timing belt replacement, cambelt replacement and cambelt changes for a wide range of vehicles.
Whether you need a timing belt change, cam belt replacement cost estimates, or a full cambelt and water pump package, our experienced technicians will diagnose the issue, explain your options, and use quality parts for a reliable fix.
If your vehicle shows signs of cambelt wear, bring it in for a check and we’ll provide a clear quote.
Wet belts
We also replace wet belts, which are used in certain Ford engines. Wet belts serve the same purpose as cam belts but run inside the engine in oil, which means they need specialist care and replacement tools.
Ford wet belts can be fitted to:
- Ford 1.0 EcoBoost engines found in many small Ford cars
- Ford EcoBlue engines used in Ford Transit vans
We use genuine Ford parts and replace the oil pump belt and clean pickup.
Wet belt replacement costs
- 1.0 EcoBoost engines: £1000 plus VAT
- Ford Transit EcoBlue engines: £1300 plus VAT
If your vehicle has one of these engines, it’s important to replace the wet belt at the recommended interval to avoid serious engine damage.
