How to check if your car has a wet belt

This list covers the most common UK engines, but the only way to be certain for your exact car is to check the specific engine and year. Use our wet belt checker and directory — and if your car isn’t listed, you may be in the clear: see cars without a wet belt.

If your car is on the list and it’s near or past its interval, don’t wait — replacing the belt on time is far cheaper than the engine it protects.
