Does the Ford Kuga 1.5 EcoBoost have a 'wet belt'?

Does the 2018 Ford Kuga Titanium X 1.5 EcoBoost three-cylinder petrol engine have a 'wet belt'?

Hi Gary,

The 1.5 EcoBoost engine in the Kuga is a four-cylinder unit, not a three-cylinder design, and it has a traditional 'dry' belt, not a wet one like the 1.0 EcoBoost engine found elsewhere in the Ford range.
