Hey, been a member for a few years but rarely used the forum and my previous 2 Corsa's ran like a dream.  Did want to know if anyone that has a Corsa with a wet belt has had any issues? My car has been fine, had been contemplating bringing the service forward (last one done 27/01/25, bought car March 25) so things are checked before warranty runs out and MOT is due. 

Is the wet belt even covered under the warranty? 

Mileage atm is 28,000. 

 

Hi....welcome to the Club

Judging by the history of the Ford Ecoboost engines with wetbelts it is a concern to say the least

Consensus is that regular (even more frequent) oil changes is imperative and check what is coming out with the oil (fibres, etc)

I couldn't agree more with your comment about the Ford wet belt issues. Neighbour had a focus diesel, the wet belt degraded and sent particles of rubber through the oil system, thus slowly killing the engine. Ended up replacing whole engine.

So yes get it checked out regularly for piece of mind.

Luckily the Corsa only has 1 wet belt

on the earlier fords there are 2 belts camshaft drive and some garages only replace the top one, so when inspected it looks like the belt has been changed, but then the camshaft belt shreds.
