🔧 Timing Belts, Timing Chains & Wetbelts Expert Replacement
AAt CarsUpkeep Bedford, timing work isn’t just another job — it’s our speciality.
Our technicians have extensive experience replacing timing belts, timing chains, and wetbelts across all major manufacturers, with particular expertise in Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, and Vauxhall engines.
We’ve completed hundreds of timing system repairs and replacements — from small hatchbacks to large diesel vans — using the correct manufacturer-specific tools, timing kits, and OE-grade parts every time.
⚙️ Ford Wetbelt Specialists
If you drive a Ford EcoBoost engine, you’ve probably heard of wetbelts.
These belts run inside the engine oil and can deteriorate over time, leading to serious — and expensive — engine damage if not replaced on schedule.
At CarsUpkeep, we’ve performed dozens of Ford wetbelt replacements on models such as:
- Ford Fiesta & Focus 1.0 EcoBoost
- Ford Transit & Transit Connect
- Ford C-Max, Kuga, Mondeo
We follow Ford’s technical guidelines to the letter — including full oil system flushes, genuine or high-quality replacement parts, and verified timing alignment — ensuring long-term reliability and manufacturer-level results.
🔩 Peugeot, Citroën & Vauxhall Timing Experts
Our Bedford workshop is also trusted by owners of Peugeot, Citroën, and Vauxhall wetbelts
Common engines we service include:
- Peugeot/Citroen 1.2 PureTech (timing belt in oil)
- Vauxhall 1.2 Wetbelt
