Six signs your wet belt is failing — for Sturry drivers

Live in Sturry and worried about your engine? Here are the six signs your wet belt is on the way out.

✓ 12-month parts & labour warranty✓ OE-grade timing kits✓ Same-day diagnosis✓ Fleet & trade rates

Sturry sits right on the doorstep of our Canterbury workshop, and we get a steady stream of customers from CT2 worried about strange noises from under the bonnet. Most of the time, they're right to be worried.

Sign 1: a cold-start rattle that fades after 30 seconds. Sign 2: an unexpected oil light at idle. Sign 3: heavy oil consumption between services. Sign 4: black, gritty oil on the dipstick. Sign 5: cam-correlation engine codes. Sign 6: loss of power on hills or under load.

Any one of these is enough to book an inspection. Two or more, and you should stop driving until it's checked.

Sturry drivers can drop in for a free visual inspection — no appointment needed in working hours.
