Wet or dry belt in my Ford Kuga 1.5?

I have a Ford Kuga Titanium 1.5 petrol with a manual transmission. It is not an EcoBoost so does it have a wet or dry belt please?

Hi Pam,

You didn't tell us the model year, but anyway, the only 1.5-litre petrol engine in a Kuga that is not referred to as an EcoBoost unit is the 'Flex Fuel' engine of 2019-2021.

It uses a dry timing belt.
