Ours in work has 66,000 on it now and no problems whatsoever but it's getting to the stage where you start to worry about the wet belt. I'm looking for a van but it has to be auto, Transporter's are crazy prices and Sprinters are just as bad, Transit's are a decent price but there's always the worry about the belt .

One of our transits with the wet belt engine broke the belt at around 50,000 miles but that's not the worst of it, as the belt wears the bits of it end up in the oil pump strainer block the flow and totally fuck the engine Ford put a new engine in one of our vans free of charge because of it. I was looking to buy that one off the company but even with he new engine and some of the other issues we've had with them i decided i wont touch it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just traded it in for a new van all they would give him was 5k for it and i was thinking of buying it for that, It was a mid top with about 70,000 miles on it so you could stand up in it which is what i was after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a welsh speaker but even i know because the welsh language was forced out of us by the English it makes it far more important to keep the language alive now, even if its just to stick two fingers up to them because they didn't succeed at their evil plan. We could have bent over and let them take it from us but we didn't and it's still a language that's alive throughout Wales not having that heritage is why you won't understand how important it is so why dont you speak it then being a sheepshagging native? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catteeclan Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 15 hours ago, Pedro said: What’s the advantage of having the belt inside oil? Has to have some advantage. I believe they did it to increase the mileage between replacement, messed that idea right up. My VW has a wet drive belt for the oil pump. I didn't know this when I changed the cam belt a couple of years ago and I'm hearing stories of them coming apart and blocking the oil strainer just like the rest. I've recently got a Golf diesel engine apart as the cam belt died. They're a "modular engine" So the cam box has to be replaced complete with cams and some of the lobes have moved on the shafts. As there were parts broken up top and many missing I had the sump off and that belt looked absolutely fine at 88,000 miles. Doesn't stop me worrying about mine though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
