At GB Autotech, we understand the critical role cam belts (timing belts) and wet belts play in the smooth operation of your car or light commercial vehicle. These essential components ensure your engine’s timing is synchronized, helping it run efficiently and safely. Over time, wear and tear can compromise their functionality, leading to potential engine damage if left unaddressed. That’s why we provide professional cam belt and wet belt replacement services at our workshop in Luton, Bedfordshire, ensuring your vehicle stays reliable on the road.
A cam belt, also known as a timing belt, is a reinforced rubber belt that connects your engine’s crankshaft to the camshaft. It ensures the valves and pistons in the engine move in perfect harmony. Without a functioning cam belt, your engine’s timing would be thrown off, potentially causing severe engine damage.
Wet belts are similar to traditional cam belts but are submerged in engine oil. This design reduces friction and extends their lifespan. However, wet belts can still degrade over time due to oil contamination or extended use, and regular replacement is essential to prevent breakdowns.
Replacing your cam belt or wet belt at the manufacturer-recommended intervals is crucial, but there are also warning signs to look out for, including:
• Ticking or unusual noises from the engine.
• A misfiring engine.
• Oil leaks near the belt area.
• Trouble starting the engine or poor performance.
Ignoring these symptoms could lead to catastrophic engine failure, so don’t delay—schedule a replacement with GB Autotech today.

I had a problem with my VW Polo and Liam was able to diagnose and fix the problem really quickly. The work was very professional and excellent value. I’ll definitely use them again.
