Do you work on other Transit models?

Yes — Transit, Transit Connect, Tourneo and Transit Custom are all vehicles we work on, along with other makes of van.

Can you service the van at the same time?

Yes. If the van is in for belt work, combining it with a service and inspection usually saves a separate visit.

How much does the work cost?

It depends entirely on the engine, the parts specified and what else is accessible at the same time. Send us your registration and we will provide a quote — we do not publish prices that would not apply to your vehicle.

How long will the car be off the road?

Some engines are straightforward, others need significant dismantling. We will give you a realistic timescale with the quote so you can plan around it.

Timing Belts & Chains

Ford Transit Custom Wet Belt Replacement

The Transit Custom is one of the hardest-working vans in the country, and its belt-in-oil timing drive is one of the jobs owners cannot afford to leave.

Why Transit Custom owners ask about wet belts

Transit Custom vans fitted with EcoBlue diesel engines use an oil-immersed timing belt and, depending on specification, an oil pump drive belt. High mileage, stop-start delivery work and stretched oil change intervals all shorten belt life.

Warning signs

Oil pressure warning light or message
Noise from the front of the engine
Timing correlation codes or running faults
Rubber debris in the oil filter or sump
Van cutting out or failing to restart

What we do

Confirm the engine and belt arrangement from your registration
Strip for access, typically including sump removal
Clean and inspect the oil pump pickup
Fit new timing and oil pump belts
Renew disturbed seals and gaskets
Correct-specification oil and filter, then road test

Keeping downtime sensible

We have one main ramp, so we book bigger jobs in properly rather than starting them between other work. That means we can tell you when the van goes in, and give you a realistic idea of when it comes back.
