A new newsletter a new test device. Due to the very positive effect our Triscan Test Center has on our customer service and internal quality assurance service, we continue to invest in expanding it. Our newly built ABS tester is the latest addition. Here we describe how this works and why it is so valuable.
To ensure a high level of service and quality, we continuously expand our in-house test facilities. Our latest acquisition is an EGR valve tester. In the following paragraphs we will explain why in-house testing equipment has high priority for us and how the EGR valve-tester works.
Besides providing a quick overview of our sensor programme, the new 24-page sensor brochure also contains useful information about the function, design, fitting and common error codes.
Since the introduction of the first 3 sensor groups just over 2 years ago, another 8 have been added. The program now has 11 product groups and we can assure that more will follow. As we can see the interest and demand for sensors rise continuously, we find that it is time to present our current program in a brochure that gives readers a quick and easy overview of the broad product range.
Here at Triscan quality has priority. Therefore, producers are visited regularly and spot checking is carried out on products when they arrive at our central warehouse. Furthermore, we carry out extensive tests internally, both on our own and the products of our competitors. Two recent examples have once again proven why in-house testing is important and why it is so important to expand in this area.
Many workshops and wholesalers have gradually become acquainted with the frequently used EGR-valve that applies to diesel engines of the types 1.4, 1.6, 1.9 and 2.0 TDIs. Despite several attempts, VAG or other aftermarket actors have not succeeded in solving the problem. Based on our own technical studies, we in this article unveil why the EGR valve stops working too quickly.
It is not always certain that error codes give a true and fair view of which parts should be replaced to solve a problem. And all too often, this leads to questioning of the quality of the replaced part, which, logically, does not solve the real problem.
We are constantly expanding our program of oil drain plugs - and, as something new, we can now also offer the following oil drain plug and tool for VAG with TFSI and TSI engines.
All too often it is not the oxygen sensor, which is responsible for the error messages, that generally point in that direction. This especially applies in the case where wideband sensors are used instead of conventional O2 sensors. This is also why, it is very important to pay extra attention in the troubleshooting process with this kind of sensor. Learn more about the system design and source of errors in this article.
To imagine avoiding all reclamations is probably wishful thinking. But would not it be nice if there was a way you could reduce the number significantly? At Triscan we know that it is possible! With our experience from our efforts to ensure proper timing belt replacement in the luggage, we are now ready to launch our new concept - Smartrep.info.
Cleaning the cooling system when replacing the water pump has suddenly become a hot topic. The garages do of course wonder why this extra workflow suddenly is necessary when it never before has been a requirement? Some car owners will probably also be puzzled by the extra posting on the garage bill, and therefore the garages should be able to provide them with a well-based answer. The explanation is not quite simple, but let us start with the reason why it is necessary: the water pump.
Triscan now keep a bolt kit for a VAG track control arm (rear) in stock. The bolt kit contains all special bolts- and indeholder alle specialbolte- og washers for a complete replacement of the VAG track control arm (Triscan ref. 8500 295029). The bolt kit is – of course – in OE quality. The bolt kit can be used on a wide range of VAG’s car models, among others:
Audi A3, Q3 et al.
Seat Altea, Leon et al.
Skoda Octavia, Superb et al.
VW Passat, Golf V, Golf VI et al.
The bolt kit has the reference 8500 298001, and can be ordrered via Triscan’s TriWeb.
Triscan has once again expanded its already comprehensive sensor programme, which now also includes more than 190 references of EGR valves in OE quality. The EGR valves will to in TriWeb from mid September and in TecDoc from October 1st.
A lot has happened within gearshift cables since Triscan in 2012 introduced them in the product range. At that time, we started out with the introduction of a little more than 100 cables - primarily for European cars - and since then the programme has grown to 162 references.
An exhaust pipe connector is not just a connector and few may know that the position of the connector in the exhaust system determines which of a total of three types should be used.
At Triscan we are focused on keeping the yellow jersey and the title as European champion in offering the widest steering part programme. The task is challenging and not as simple and straightforward as one might think - and it is not uncommon that we even initiate development and production of steering parts.
As one of the only suppliers in the market, Triscan now offers the original parabolic spring for Mercedes Sprinter 1995-2006 made from fiberglass strengthened composite.
One of the main advantages of using a composite spring rather than a conventional steel spring is to achieve a weight saving of not less than 19 kg.
In their efforts to create a well-functioning recycling system for old calipers, Budweg has prepared some updated return instructions, which in its simplicity describes the individual processes in a correct return.
The guide is intended to make the handling of the old calipers more transparent, flexible and efficient - for the benefit of all parties.
Over the past few years’ expansion within the brake system parts programme, Triscan has almost become a OneStop shop within this area. With a coverage of the car parc of up to 97%, the garages are able to get the necessary spare parts for even the more rare cars.
On certain types of water pumps, Volvo has chosen to make a different type of pulley than usual. This pulley has fewer teeth and protects the timing belt in the belt drive.
As a supplier of spare parts for garages it is necessary to stay updated constantly and be able to disseminate information on business opportunities and the latest product knowledge. However, at what time of day and on what day of week do you have the time to read the news? Do you prefer to seek out the news yourself or to receive it? Would you rather receive news in electronic or printed format - or a combination of both?
The clip is sold originally as an individual component (PSA OE 4341.14), but at a cost far exceeding the value of the cables - and therefore making a repair costly.
In Triscans attempt to make sourcing of complex product groups easy for wholesalers and distributors, Triscan has expanded its already extensive sensor program with water temperature sensors, camshaft position sensors, crankshaft position sensors and throttle bodies.
The original handbrake cables to a Renault Grand Scenic with an electric handbrake is only available if you buy the complete unit with a control box, a motor and housing (price approx. € 470) OE ref. 360101216R. But not all repairs need replacing of the control box, the motor and the housing. So there is money to save if only the cable needs to be replaced. And as the only ones on the market, Triscan now stocks handbrake cables as a separate unit (Triscan ref. 8140251201).
Triscan now introduces two new references (851029471 and 851029472) with inner tie rods and boots.
The two new references replace the old type (8510 29420). It has especially been difficult to keep the boot sealed, and this can lead to dirt and damp entering the system and causing damage on the rack. With the two new references, it will be easier to make a correct and perfect replacement of the rack and the axial joint, as the axial joint is an integrated part of the rack.
The increased demand for even more comfort in cars, e.g. air conditioning, seat heating and other comfort facilities, puts pressure on the capacity of the car’s alternator. Therefore, the car manufacturers have started using even more powerful alternators, which especially in situations of deceleration put strain on the micro-v belt.
Triscan now the exclusive supplies and keeps in stock the new thermostat for Citroen and Peugeot PSA 1.4 HDI HDI/1.6 – ref. no. 8620 43000. Below is a list of the models, where the new thermostat can be used.
Triscan is the exclusive supplier on the free aftermarket with the new thermostat for Citroen and Peugeot
It is no secret that Triscan excels in a wide programme within steering parts of excellent quality. With more than 6.000 references, you will get very wide coverage of the entire car parc* as a steering part customer at Triscan (based on an analysis from TecDoc data) – it can hardly be done any better!
A defective bushing on the anti-roll bar on Citroën Jumpy / Jumper, Fiat Scudo / Ducato and Peugeot Expert / Boxer requires that you change the complete anti-roll bar.
Triscan now offers repair kits for these models making this replacement a time saving and cheaper solution because these kits make it possible to replace the bushings without removing the anti-roll bar.
A defective steering rack or power steering pump is never a pleasant experience for the car owner, but the repairs that need to be done can soon turn out to be even more extensive if the mechanic does not remember to clean the hydraulic system when installing the new power steering pump or steering rack. A new spare part in an unclean servo system can lead to undesirable wear of the servo system components, and in the worst case scenario they may be damaged after a short time.
Now Triscan supplies two assortments with oil drain plugs. Each assortment contains 13 different oil drain plugs with matching gaskets.
With these assortments you are very well stocked as they cover most cars. The development of the program is ongoing – and you can always find the latest references in Triweb. Here you will also find separate gaskets and oil drain plugs for refilling the assortment box.
To meet the demand from the market Triscan now offers two types of self-adjusting clutch cables for 21 of our most popular references. Both types of cables secure the same function in the car, but the decision which cable to us is individual from garage to garage. So now our customers can choose which cable they want.
