Exclusive News for the Independent Garage Trade

Dear 

Customer 

Happy New Year to you all and welcome to 

David Russell JOINT MD 

the first issue of Independent for 2012 – your 

exclusive news for the independent garage trade 

from Camberley Auto Factors. 

I hope you’ve had an enjoyable and relaxing break over Christmas and the New Year, but if 

you were working, hopefully you were able to take advantage of our extended opening hours 

over the festive period. 

On behalf of my colleagues, I would like to thank you all for your support and custom 

during 2011. The past year has seen some difficult trading conditions, with the on-going 

economic crisis affecting people across all types of business area, including our sector of 

the automotive industry. 

Our review of the year is on page 16 of this issue and, looking back over the last 12 months, 

it’s been an eventful year. Speaking to you and hearing from our sales team, it appears that 

business has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Hopefully some of the events we organised, 

such as CAF on Tour, have provided you with the opportunity to take a look at some options 

to help drive your business forward in these challenging times. 

Moving on to 2012, we will continue to provide our complete package of products and 

services. These include Caftec training and technical support, the Engine Management 

Centre helpline (023 9221 0020) and, of course, our ever popular Workshop Solutions 

events. We are also planning on producing more new publications over the course of the 

year, look out for news of all this and more in future issues of Independent. 

Inside this current issue of the magazine, we continue to feature some of our trusted 

suppliers, including Comma, Mann and LuK. There is a very interesting ‘Product Focus’ 

feature on suspension, a look at some new products and the latest ranges available from 

Sealey, plus all the latest news and product information which I hope you will find both 

useful and of great interest. 

Finally, may I once again wish you all the best for a Happy and Prosperous New Year 

and thank you for your continued support of Camberley Auto Factors Ltd.

Autosport Show 

Koni Shock Absorbers (distributed exclusively 

in the UK by CAF) once again exhibited at 

the popular Autosport International show in 

January. Visitors to our stand were able to see 

examples from the entire Koni product range 

and speak to our knowledgeable staff about 

suspension upgrades 

Elsewhere at the show all sorts of celebrities, 

including F1 stars David Coulthard, Paul 

di Resta and Allan McNish, were taking part 

in live interviews and signing autographs. 

There was also an F1 grid which included 

di Resta’s Force India VJM04 as well as the 

2011 championship winning Red Bull RB7. 

MOT changes 

The new 2012 MOT regulations came into 

force on 1st January, with several new 

‘Reasons for Rejection’ introduced to the 

MOT Testers’ manual in order to bring us 

more into line with Europe. 

Two areas of the test now require 

additional approved equipment as follows:- 

• The presence of a fuel leak on gas 

powered vehicles must now be confirmed 

with the use of a leak detection product. 

The IAAF Annual Awards ceremony took 

place in December, with excellence in the 

Independent Aftermarket recognised and 

rewarded. Among this year’s recipients of the 

IAAF Awards were two of CAF’s fellow Parts 

Alliance members, along with one of our key 

suppliers: 

Supplier of the Year - NGK Spark 

Plugs (UK) 

NGK is the leading supplier of OE spark 

plugs, glow plugs and NTK Lambda sensors, 

and have won this accolade for the third 

time. Brian Childs, NGK’s Deputy MD, 

commented: “It is a great achievement 

for the company to win such a prestigious 

award.” 

This must be a proprietary leak detection 

spray which meets BS EN 14291:2004 

requirements and the spray should be 

replaced when its manufacturer’s expiry 

date is exceeded. 

• Operation of 13-pin trailer electrical 

sockets using an approved trailer socket 

test tool. Only trailer socket test tools on 

the VOSA list of approved equipment are 

acceptable. 

Both these items are available from your 

local CAF branch, details of the products 

can be found on page 9 of this issue. 

And the winner is… 

Parts Person of the Year - Matthew Warren, of CES (UK) 

Matthew Warren from CES won the prestigious Parts Person award through having 

to demonstrate his parts knowledge, business acumen and communication skills to 

a select judging panel. With over 400 staff, CES predominantly cover the north west 

of England and north Wales. A member of The Parts Alliance, CES are much like 

Camberley Auto Factors when it comes to staff training, with both companies providing 

regular training including the ATA Parts Advisor course. 

Distributor of Excellence - Mill Autoquip 

Mill Autoquip operates in the south west of England and employs over 260 staff. This 

is the first time that the company has received an IAAF award and they succeed fellow 

Parts Alliance members Allparts Automotive and CES as holders of this title.

ON THE ‘ROLLING’ ROAD 

FINISHING OFF THE 2011 SEASON 

“With no track activity over winter your mind tends to find its way to 

thinking about next years racing. But before scribbling down the first 

draft of the list of ‘things to do’ I wanted to know how much power 

was left in my car after the past few seasons of racing. 

One Saturday morning in October we strapped the car to the trailer and 

paid Novatech in Slough a visit. Company owner Bernie positioned the 

car on his rolling road and started setting up to get a power reading. 

Previous rolling road readings I have for the car, showed the car was 

running just over 120bhp. After a couple of runs on the rollers it became 

apparent that the car was now barely coming in over 100bhp. So over 

the last few seasons racing I’ve lost nearly 20% of my power. (Which 

explains why I struggled so hard to reach or beat my personal best 

times this year). 

Now, armed with this information, I’m more determind to get working 

on the car and hopefully rediscover some of the missing power. 

Thanks to Bernie at Novatech (NTR) in Slough.” 

Sarah Niblett, CAF Marketing Dept www.sarahsracing.co.uk 

Early in 2011, Brooklands College were 

donated an Audi A8 by the parent of a student. 

Shortly after, the decision was made to enter 

the car into the Britcar Series and to try and 

race in at least 2 of the main championship 

races in the UK with an additional aim of 

competing in the Britcar 24 Hour race at 

Silverstone in September. 

With the car being donated in production road 

car format, a plan was made to strip down and 

prepare the car for racing purposes. Once 

stripped, the car then needed to be fitted with 

a suitable roll cage and all of the necessary 

equipment required to race in the identified 

championship. 

By June, work on the Audi had progressed 

enough for the car to receive an official 

Exclusive News for the Independent Garage Trade 

MOTORSPORT 

launch. This was attended by the new college 

Principal, Maureen Kilminster, Gordon Parris 

MBE JP from the Children with Special Needs 

Foundation, along with representatives of 

the projects various sponsors which included 

Camberley Auto Factors. 

Unfortunately, the impending students’ summer 

break, coupled with a delay in obtaining and 

fitting the appropriate Motorsport suspension, 

meant that the car wasn’t ready for track 

testing in July. This meant that the plan to 

race in September’s Britcar 24 Hour Race at 

Silverstone had to be cancelled. 

This was probably a blessing in disguise, given 

that the weather for the actual race weekend 

was recorded as the warmest on record for 

late September. That meant that the tyre

and a mention on my website or printed articles please email me, 

or contact me through my website and I will be pleased to let you 

know the sponsorship opportunities available. 

degradation estimates made for the race would 

have been significantly inaccurate, as the team 

was relying on data from previous events. 

Ultimately, this would have affected the whole 

race strategy, meaning that a non-finish would 

have been very likely. 

With studying underway again in September, 

it was time to fit the new suspension units and 

to re-engineer the rear spring mountings to 

suit the revised design. These first few weeks 

of term would also see major work to ensure 

that the rear exterior lighting would meet the 

expected specification for the Britcar series 

in 2012. 

In early October, the College were contacted 

by the organisers of the Brooklands Motorsport 

Autumn Show and asked that the team and 

a selection of their racing cars should take 

part. This event took place at the Brooklands 

Museum site and Mercedes-Benz World to 

include their Test Track. It was too good an 

opportunity to miss for the college Audi to 

have its first track test. Second year students 

studying Motorsport at Foundation Degree and 

staff worked extra class sessions so that the 

car was ready to be driven on track for the 

first time. 

The weather on the day could not have been 

better and the Audi attracted a significant 

amount of interest from the public, media and 

potential additional supporters. These included 

Bosch Motorsport, who hope to support 

the project in respect to race specification 

upgrades to engine, gearbox and braking 

electronics. 

Further work on the car is now planned for 

the Spring Term and the objective remains 

to compete in a Britcar 24 hour race. There 

are now additional plans to take part in a 

shorter endurance event, which takes place at 

Belgium’s Spa Francorchamps circuit in June. 

As well as being an excellent opportunity for all 

the students involved, it will prove an invaluable 

learning experience for the full 24 hour event.

MECHANEX REVIEW 


SHOW REVIEW 

A record number of visitors turned out to this year’s MechanEx show, keen to 

see the latest products and services available to the independent aftermarket. 

The focal point of CAF’s stand was the Caftec division, enabling visitors to see 

some of the latest technical equipment up-close, whilst discussing installation, 

training and aftersales support options with the Caftec team. 

Parked up outside the show was our brand new ‘product demo’ van. This was 

staffed by our Engine Management Specialists, who were able to talk through the 

latest products including Air Mass Meters, Map Sensors and EGR Valves. There 

was also quite a bit of interest in our range of tyre pressure monitoring sensors, 

with several customers grabbing copies of our recently produced brochure. 

The Parts Alliance also had a stand at the show, which was partly manned by some of 

our sales team. Here, customers were able to learn about the range of products and 

services available exclusively through Parts Alliance Members; these included the GS One 

Stop garage management programme, the ebeepbeep online servicing and MOT booking 

website and our own-brand DriveTec and Miratec product ranges. 

Away from the main exhibition area, all customers who had pre-registered were able to 

claim a free bacon roll, courtesy of CAF. All canteen staff were wearing CAF branded 

clothing, whilst even the paper plates, table cloths and napkins were all emblazoned 

with our logo! 


Comma – 

Industry leading application data 

Selecting the right oil for a given vehicle is essential. 

And that’s why Comma invests so much in producing application data. Comma’s application 

data covers more than 7,000 passenger and light commercial vehicles, for models dating 

back over 30 years. You can find our application data for engine oils (as well as gear oils, 

brake fluids and antifreezes) through the following methods:- 

• In the Comma printed Workshop Application guide 

• Online at www.commaoil.com 

• By ‘phoning your local CAF branch* 

Benefits for your workshop 

• Adds additional protection on a core part of servicing work – 

limits workshop business risk 

• Assists workshop in up-selling consumers to Comma PMO – 

workshop profit opportunity 

• Naturally enhances workshop product mix and improves 

workshop profitability 

• Displays technical expertise and professionalism to compete 

with the ‘expert’ image of a franchised dealer 

• Communicating Comma’s guarantee to consumers enhances 

professional image of workshop and builds loyalty 

What happens when the wrong grade is used? 

Using the wrong oil or low oil could cost thousands of pounds in repairs. £2,500 (plus VAT) is 

the average oil-related engine failure repair bill for a typical family car. Source: Warranty Direct 

The latest exhaust after treatment units require specialist Low SAPS oils in order to protect them. 

Using the wrong product will poison or block after treatment units. 

With the number of 5W-30s now available, and the different reasons why each of them should be 

used, an independent workshop needs trusted application data to help them with their day to day job. 


It’s Guaranteed 

Comma’s application data is unique because it is fully backed up with a unique guarantee. 

No exemptions, no errors and omissions clauses (E&EO) – just one simple requirement: 

fit as per the recommendations in the Comma guide and you’re protected. 

We guarantee to recommend the right product for each application. 

You can be 100% confident that if you’re using Comma application 

data to select or recommend a product, then you’re covered. 

*Camberley Auto Factors use AlliCat application data, which is 

recognised and approved by Comma for the performance guarantee.

NEW 

PRODUCTS 

Blue Print 

The Nissan Navara is known for its troublesome half shaft, 

a part now available to the aftermarket from Blue Print. One of 

the problems lies in the seals, with the originals allowing water 

and dirt to get into the bearing which then ultimately causes 

failure. The seals on the Blue Print replacement have been 

upgraded to avoid this issue. The bearings are not available 

as a separate item from OE, resulting in the need to 

replace the complete half shaft. 

Part No. ADN189501 

Good LuK 

We’ve just carried out a major overhaul on our range of LuK Clutches and 

Dual Mass Flywheels, whilst also adding in the full range of DMF bolts. The

Diesel Bug 

Diesel fuel is susceptible to bacterial 

growth that can clog fuel systems & stop 

engines. The bacteria is so corrosive 

that it can even eat through stainless 

steel! The problem is becoming more 

widespread due to low sulphur fuels and 

an increase in bio-fuel content. 

Wynn’s FUEL BIOCIDE is a curative as well 

as preventative treatment against the 

formation of micro-organisms in fuel. 


NEW PRODUCTS 

We’re expanding our range 

A common failing part on various Seat & VW applications including 

Cordoba, Leon, Ibiza, Toledo, Bora and Golf, is the sensor on the 

radiator expansion tank. The symptoms are the coolant level light on 

the dashboard comes on and flashes indicating a low coolant level 

and beeps, even when the coolant level is correct. The cause of 

this is that the sensor float inside the bottle becomes corroded 

over time, giving an incorrect reading. 

As the coolant level sensor is built in 

to the tank, however, when it goes 

wrong the whole tank needs to 

be replaced. We now stock the 

replacement unit from Hella, 

available via your local 

CAF branch.

As vehicle technology continues to evolve, components are 

becoming more sophisticated. These components are becoming 

increasingly common in vehicles entering the aftermarket and 

are no longer restricted to being available from main dealers. 

In this ongoing feature, our Engine Management Centre 

specialists explain all about ECU’s. 

HISTORY 

The concept of using a single unit to control multiple functions on an engine, dates 

back to the 1930’s, with the development of the Kommandogerät (translated 

“command-device”) by BMW for use on their 801 radial aircraft engine. Although the 

unit was mechanical-hydraulic as opposed to its modern electronic counterparts, it 

was one of the first systems to automatically control multiple engine functions. These 

functions included fuel flow, propeller pitch, supercharger setting, mixture and ignition 

timing, all in response to a single throttle lever. 

The use of a single control unit did not make its way into the automotive field until the 

advent of microelectronics. One of the first widespread systems to utilise an electronic 

control unit was the KE-Jetronic system developed by Bosch in the late 1980’s to 

comply with the introduction of emission standards. 

ANATOMY 

Modern Engine Management systems have had to evolve in order to cope with such 

changes as tighter emission standards, demand in better fuel economy, better 

safety systems, in car entertainment and driver aids, to name a few. To do this the 

systems now utilise multiple control units to deal with the demand on the system. 

These systems can be extremely varied but usually comprise a main control unit 

connected to multiple other control units/modules fitted to individual systems like 

the ABS system, satellite navigation, diesel pump, parking systems and many more. 

PRECAUTIONS 

• Some control units have technical restrictions due to the incorporation of 

security systems which can limit the availability to the vehicle agent. 

• Most control units without trade restriction can be tested. 

• Control units can be very sensitive so great care must be taken when replacing 

or working with them or vehicle electrical systems. 

• Some control units will require coding to the vehicle once fitted. 

• Some control units require a continuous power source while undergoing 

diagnostic tests.

PRODUCT FOCUS 

Suspension 

SPRING BREAK 

Automotive coil springs are one of the most central and dynamic components 

of a vehicle’s suspension system; constantly working to absorb shocks, keep 

the wheels in contact with the road and deal with uneven road surfaces. It is 

therefore no surprise that after many millions of cycles, even the best made 

springs will become tired and begin to sag; vehicle ride height will drop and 

may become uneven, and eventual breakage is likely. 

There are several reasons for spring failure, and Lesjöfors take various steps 

to combat these to ensure the longest possible service life. 

Surface and inner defects can exist in lower quality spring wire material. This 

reduces performance by lowering spring fatigue strength and significantly 

increasing the risk of breakage. Although almost all melting plants today can 

produce steel with the specified chemical analysis of ‘spring steel’, only a 

few mills are able to achieve the surface & wire quality necessary for modern 

suspension springs with high stress levels. 

• Lesjöfors only use high-grade, specialist ‘spring steel’ from selected mills 

worldwide. 

When springs are cold coiled, as many suspension springs are, negative internal 

stresses are introduced. These must be removed by heat treatment or the 

chance of failure (breakage) is increased significantly. 

• Lesjöfors remove these negative internal stresses through a controlled 

stress relieving heat treatment process after cold coiling. Following this, 

it is important to introduce and control the level of positive residual stress 

in the spring, as this will reduce shear stress during compression. The 

controlled use of shot peening and presetting ensure high positive residual 

stress levels within the spring and consequently a reduced risk of breakage 

during use. 

Some manufacturers use spring wire which tapers towards each end. This 

generally produces a weight saving, but the risk of premature spring failure is 

increased since the level of stress increases. 

SHOCKING NEWS MAKE A WISH THE 


In independent tests, it was found that a car 

fitted with 50% worn shocks could have a 

braking distance up to 6 metres longer than the 

same vehicle fitted with 100% efficient shocks, 

despite its ESP and ABS systems. This research 

also demonstrated that the same car with worn 

shocks was more difficult to control in a collision 

avoidance manoeuvre, thereby extending the risk 

to car occupants and other road users. 

A regular shock absorber check can be a 

life-saver and these tests show that even drivers 

of cars fitted with the latest technology need to be 

aware of the dangers that worn shocks represent, 

particularly if they cover a lot of miles. 

The demands on certain commodities within the steering 

family are much higher than others. Products such as 

wishbones, link stabilisers and aluminium parts continue 

to have high replacement rates. The Delphi range of 

wishbones are all supplied with bushes and ball joints 

where required. 

Wishbones account for more than 50% of steering 

and suspension replacement parts on vehicles. Faulty 

wishbones are one of the main reasons for MOT failures 

or excessive tyre wear.

A fitting point 

When a suspension component (shock absorber, wishbone or spring) fails, drivers often 

request that only the defective part be replaced – usually to save money. 

Unfortunately, aside from being a false economy, this could also cause multiple severe 

safety risks, such as: 

• Less Responsive Steering • Less Secure Road Holding 

• Increased Braking Distance • Increased Tyre Wear 

According to the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA), around 15% of all defects 

discovered during an MOT are suspension related and about 12% of vehicles fail the test 

due to a suspension problem. 

Upon replacing a defective suspension component, it is imperative to replace an axle set 

together, as failure to do so will most certainly result in the problems mentioned above, 

but will also give an uneven and potentially unsafe ride as well as uneven tyre wear. These 

components degrade at around the same rate during normal use, meaning that when one 

fails, the other will most likely not be far behind. Springs also affect the ride height of the 

vehicle, so will also cause a safety issue if not replaced as a matching pair. 

The customer will also benefit from replacing all related components together, as this will 

ultimately save them money – the labour time would be quadrupled if shocks, springs, 

mountings and wishbones were all replaced on separate occasions.

REVIEW OF 2011 


Having launched the ebeepbeep consumer 

website in 2010, we kicked off our retail 

marketing activity by sponsoring League 2 

team, Aldershot Town FC. The club had quite a 

successful stint and the ebeepbeep advertising 

even got picked up by the tv cameras a couple 

of times. The start of the 2011/12 season saw 

the sponsorship renewed, this time the club 

reached the fourth round of the Carling Cup 

and receive amazing coverage when they 

got to play Manchester United. 

Supporting local communities is very important 

to us at Camberley Auto Factors, so in addition to 

the Salisbury radio broadcast, our staff organised, 

sponsored and took part in many fund raising activities 

over the course of the year. These included an ‘Army 

Day’ at Farnborough, a local college race team and 

two BEN rallies, the second of which set off from our 

Farnborough Head Office. Our fellow Parts Alliance 

members do similar activities around the country and, 

in September, we all joined together at the Parts Aid 

event to present cheques to Help for Heroes and BEN.

AT THE START: 

Having just been through the 

coldest December on record, 

the start of 2011 saw its own 

challenge, with the VAT rate 

increasing to 20%. Although 

making life more difficult for 

consumers, it did have the benefit 

of making main dealer prices look 

even more uncompetitive than 

those of independent garages. 

Early in the summer, we heard the worrying news 

that the government was planning on reducing the 

frequency of the MOT test. Instead of the current 

3 years before the first test and annual testing 

thereafter, the government has proposed to bring us 

in line with Europe and leave it 4 years before the 

first test, then every 2 years. This will have serious 

implications, not just for our industry, but also for road 

safety. We would urge all our customers to support 

the ProMOTe campaign aimed at blocking this change 

by visiting the website at www.pro-mote.org.uk 

As Autumn arrived, the usual colder weather 

failed to materialise, instead making way for 

an Indian summer. Our ‘CAF on Tour’ events 

returned to help more customers develop 

their businesses. This was closely followed 

by the annual tool sale event at Farnborough. 

Finally, the MechanEx trade show took place 

in November with a record turnout. The CAF 

branding was hard to miss and we hope 

those of you who attended found the show 

interesting and informative. 


Tougher trading conditions normally mean that 

companies reduce their activities, but Camberley 

Auto Factors kicked off the year by launching 

a new braking programme. The addition of 

ATE to our line-up has allowed us to have a 

comprehensive range of braking products to suit 

all needs. By February, we had also introduced 

the Hofmann range of tyre changing equipment, 

allowing garages to capitalise on this extra 

business opportunity rather than passing on 

work to their competitors. 


Keeping up to date with the latest product news, information 

and developments in the aftermarket is essential for any 

independent garage, so we produced various publications 

such as the Ice Station air conditioning brochure and 

Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems booklet. 

Our Workshop Solutions events returned with the title 

of ‘CAF on Tour’, taking our suppliers to various venues 

and giving you the chance to learn about Apprenticeships, 

Hybrid Vehicles and Stratified Fuel Injection. A series of 

Profit Clinics also took place at other venues, with small 

groups of customers learning all about business efficiency 

from motor industry expert, Mike Owen. 

Over the course of the year, we continued to expand our 

product ranges, by adding new items such as Electronic 

Parking Brake Calipers and Valvoline Oil, through to 

reprofiling existing stock, where we cleanse and add to 

existing product lines to ensure we have the most popular 

parts available on the shelf. Some of our less well known 

items can be seen on the product pages of this publication, 

plus in September, we introduced our new product demo 

van. This has already been a great success, taking the 

latest products around to various customers 

as well as attending various shows and events. 

REVIEW OF 2011 

We held three trade shows over the year, with 

Farnborough up first. This event took place 

on a lovely spring evening and gave customers 

the chance to get a ‘behind the scenes’ look at 

our largest site. Salisbury followed suit with a 

technical evening, opening their doors ahead of a 

live radio broadcast the next day. This took place 

on local station Spire FM, all in aid of the local 

district hospital. Finally, having moved to larger 

premises in late 2010, Worthing welcomed people 

along for a chance to see their new building.

How to identify... 

wheel bearing quality issues: 

Take a look at the two bearings in the picture (fig-1), can you tell 

the difference? Well the FAG bearings technical team can help you 

identify the sometimes not so obvious details on wheel bearings. 

As you can see from the images there are some visual differences 

between the two parts. The FAG version is supplied with a press 

fitment cap to prevent damage to the bearing during fitment. It has 

plastic grease protectors covering the bearing to ensure the grease 

does not escape or become contaminated (fig-2). The copied version 

does not have these features and the grease is exposed which would 

greatly increase the risk of contamination. 

Fig-1 Fig-2 

Get 

your 


Material testing of the copied bearing revealed some interesting facts; 

the dimensions, especially on the inner race, showed considerable 

metal content variations which would have a negative effect on the 

resistance and lifetime of the bearing. The rollers inside the bearing 

when inspected were found to have been constructed from a very 

poor quality metal and are therefore not appropriate for wheel bearing 

applications. There were also insufficient roller and raceway profiles, 

which when combined with a deficient geometry of the inner ring lip 

would also lead to a premature failure. 

Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket (UK) Ltd is warning garages 

not to fit sub-standard copied wheel bearings. The supplier of 

genuine OE FAG wheel bearings says they are one of the most safety 

critical components fitted to vehicles today, but that there are a number 

of inferior products on the market. 

The company works hard to keep up-to-date with its manufacturing specifications 

to ensure its original equipment and aftermarket FAG wheel bearing components 

are of the highest quality. 

During the manufacturing process it rigorously checks and tests components to ensure 

that the highest standards are maintained, and also examines parts from competitors so 

that it can compare quality. The company says in many ways it has become a victim of its 

own success and it is starting to see more inferior copied versions of these components from 

other manufacturers entering the market. 

Bearings Bearings 


Stopping contamination (fig-3) is one of the most important factors to 

remember with bearings. This is vitally important as by far the number 

one cause of premature bearing failure is contaminated bearing 

grease. 

To make matters worse, the grease used in the copied bearing (fig-4) 

only provided sufficient lubrication up to 185°C when tested, which 

could cause a major problem because vehicles with disc brakes 

would soon exceed this temperature under normal braking conditions. 

Essentially, the bearing would have no lubrication which would cause 

premature wear or at worst complete failure of the bearing itself. 

Fig-3 Fig-4 Fig-5 

Fig-6 Fig-7 

Choose OE quality 

The FAG technical team urges workshops to always choose OE-quality 

bearings, rather than copied products. After all, why risk your reputation 

by fitting inferior copied products when you could use an OE quality 

product, safe in the knowledge that it has been manufactured to the 

highest possible standards. 

Technical Support 

Schaeffler – which also supplies LuK clutches and INA tensioner sets 

– provides technical support and repair installation tips through its 

industry leading internet site RepXpert (www.RepXpert.com) 

and a technical hotline (08457 001100). 



When both bearings are opened up, the differences continue. The 

most obvious is the size of the rollers on the FAG bearing compared to 

the copied version (fig-5). The FAG rollers are much more substantial. 

The larger rollers would enable the FAG bearing to withstand much 

more weight and pressure than the copied version. Look at the 

comparison for yourself in the pictures, which one would you rather 

fit? (fig-6,7)

MANN-FILTERS 

When the inner values are the ones that matter 

With filters, as with so many other things, it is the inner values that matter most. Quality differences can 

no longer be recognised or identified at first glance. It is therefore all the more important that you should 

be given a defined level of quality right from the moment of choosing a certain brand. 

With MANN-FILTER you will always have the same quality as is supplied to the automotive manufacturers 

themselves. To ensure that this situation continues indefinitely MANN-FILTER submits to regular certification 

audits carried out by an independent agency in compliance with the international standard TS 16949 as 

well as the OEM customer standards QS 9000 & VDA 6.1. 

AIR FILTERS 

RELIABLE PROTECTION 

Clean intake air is essential for problem-free e driving. Howeve However, ver, 

pollutants such as particles, soot etc., are taken in with the air. 

The result: dirt particles get into the combustion chamber, causing 

grooves and premature wear on the engine. Electronic components, 

such as sensors which are located between the intake and the 

combustion chamber, are impaired in their function or even 

destroyed. 

Modern MANN-FILTER filter media for air filters demonstrate 

particularly high mechanical stability. They filter the intake air 

efficiently and reliably. This allows optimum composition of the 

air/fuel mix and ensures consistent engine performance. 

MANN-FILTER air filters have numerous important functions. They 

filter destructive particles such as dust, pollen, sand, soot or even 

drops of water out of the intake air. They ensure that only clean air 

gets into the combustion chamber. MANN-FILTER air filters also 

prevent damage caused in various ways to electronic components 

such as highly delicate sensors (hot-film air flow meters). MANN- 

FILTER air filters have other important functions: they lessen 

intake noise, control temperature regulation and seal off adjacent 

components. MANN-FILTER is setting new standards for the air 

filtration of tomorrow with its air filter solutions.

OIL O FILTERS 

SAFE S PROTECTION 

FROM 

£2.05 

Engine E oil lubricates all the moving and functional tional parts in the engine engine. 

As a result of combustion, particles of dirt and combustion residue 

such as soot escape into the engine oil. They contaminate the oil and 

make it more viscous. This means that the oil supply is not adequate 

and protection from corrosion can no longer be ensured. As a result, 

engine performance is impaired and fuel consumption increases. 

In the worst case, the engine could be damaged. 

Increasing engine performance, and at the same time reducing fuel 

consumption, places high demands on engine building. Only clean oil 

can ensure that engine performance remains consistent. This is where 

the full effectiveness of MANN-FILTER oil filters are really brought to 

bear. 

MANN-FILTER oil filters reliably purify oils from dirt and solid particles 

such as dust, abraded metal, carbon deposits, soot particles etc. 

They are used with engine oil, hydraulic oil and gear oil. 


FUEL FILTERS 

OPTIMUM STANDARD THROUGH UGH 

MODERN INJECTION EQUIPMENT ENT 

The basic requirement for problem-free motoring is clean fuel. The 

fuel arrives in the injection system or in the carburettor via the fuel 

pump. Particularly in modern injection systems, dirt particles in the fuel 

cause increased wear. The water content in the fuel can also cause 

serious damage as a result of corrosion. At worst, this can result in 

the complete failure of the injection system, bringing the vehicle to a 

standstill. Wear on the injection system or on the carburettor results in 

a considerable increase in fuel consumption and in impaired engine 

performance. 

Modern injection systems such as common rail or pump injector need 

innovative solutions, tailored to the new design. MANN-FILTER rises 

to the challenge of all the demands made by the automotive industry 

with a fuel filter range of the highest quality.

CABIN FILTERS 

CLEAN AIR INSIDE VEHICLES 

FROM 

79 79p 

The air in urban areas contains large quantities of dust, pollen, soot and 

other particles, as well as gases which are harmful to health. More and 

more people are suffering from allergies and are increasingly aware of 

the subject of air conditioning and cabin filters. 

As a result, more vehicles leave the factory already fitted with cabin filters. 

In Germany, 10,000 vehicles per day are fitted with cabin filters as 

standard, and this trend is increasing. Original MANN-FILTER cabin 

filters are very highly regarded by the vehicle manufacturers. 

MANN-FILTER cabin filters remove virtually all pollen and other 

unwanted particles, as well as harmful gases (adsotop ® es of dust, pollen, soot and 

combi-filters) 

from the air, thus ensuring a better atmosphere inside the vehicle. 

This is particularly important for people suffering from allergies, 

asthma, and for children.
