Hello
Welcome to this issue of The Garage.
Welcome to this issue of The Garage
Modern engines – streets
ahead of their forebears when
it comes to a heady mix of
power, economy and lack of
emissions – but even what’s
a brand-new, ultra-reliable engine today
might not be so in a few years time.
Whether it’s engine management or gaskets,
there’s still a need for repairs, but are
you geared-up for that work? Like it or not
in order to carry out that work, technicians
have to be fully clued-up because as cars become
more complicated, it becomes easier
to make mistakes.
Engine management systems have been
with us a long time and workshops are familiar
with the numerous components that
work together to keep an engine running
as the VM intended. However, things can
go wrong and once a light’s illuminated on
the dashboard it’s likely some repairs or replacements
are needed.
With such a varied car parc and with such
a variety of components making up the entire
engine management system workshops
need good factor support (i.e., high quality
products) in order to get the job accomplished
quickly and properly, and to meet
the main dealer challenge head-on.
Gaskets might last longer than they used
to be but with age they can deteriorate and
consequently need replacing. With plenty of
products on the market it can be difficult to
know where to start but workshops should
ensure they are fitting the best possible because,
after all, they aren’t the most expensive
replacement parts a car might need.
That’s it for now, but as always, your
thoughts and comments are always welcome:
contact details are at the bottom of
the page.
Enjoy the issue!
