It is not an unknown phenomenon that car owners with DSG transmissions (Direct Shift Gear) periodically experience strongly fluctuating cooling water temperatures and lack of cabin heat. However, it is very rare that the condition / error can be recreated in the workshop. Here is a tip, what could be wrong.
A lot has happened since the introduction of Triscan's sensor programme. What started in 2015 as a new initiative has now evolved into Triscan's second largest product group. But we are far from done. In the following paragraphs we look at the development of the sensor programme as well as the current status in regard to coverage, whereafter we will also take a look at the future development.
Smartrep.info was developed for mechanics with benefits for both mechanics, wholesalers and their customers. After nearly two years, we find that the concept is serving its purpose and that complaints within product groups covered by the concept are dwindling. Therefore, we continue to highlight features of products where unusual details are to be considered during assembly. The latest smartrep.info additions deal with servo pumps.
On vehicles with VAG 1.4 gasoline engines, you may occasionally experience noise from the water pump. The noise usually leads to the conclusion, that the water pump should be replaced. However, it is by far not all cases where this is necessary.
We regularly hear about mechanics who have difficulties mounting banana springs (Side load springs / Lateral load springs).
In a MacPherson strut, a compressed coil spring will generate a force that constantly and with varying strength exerts a side load pressure on the shock absorber. This condition reduces the life of the shock absorber and its ability to ensure comfortable driving.
You might know someone, maybe it’s even yourself, who has speculated about the cause of starting problems, lack of traction or increasing smoke in vehicles with a PSA 1.6 HDI engine? Then read on, to find some useful information.
For many, it is nothing new that for PSA vehicles with this type of engine starting in 2004, there are several points to be taken into account both before and after replacing the EGR valve.
With 98% we have the widest coverage of steering parts in the european IAM but the market continues to evolve and we stay on the ball. So far, we've added more than 340 new references to our steering parts range this year, including many references for current and new vehicle models. This includes many references which, on the IAM, are predominantly only available as OES.
About one and a half years ago, we launched our new concept smartrep.info. The purpose of smartrep.info is to make mechanics aware of special conditions that are important during assembly to ensure trouble-free operation. We are not talking about generalities here, but only about specific circumstances, which we know from our warranty-claims-statistics are often overlooked.
Recently, our fastest growing product family got a new member - and our sensor programme now includes a total of 12 sensor types. In this article you will learn more about our parking sensors: What does the programme include? Where are they used? Which systems are there? How do they work? What should you pay attention to? How do we test it?
Triscan has been the co-owner of a gas spring factory in Latvia for more than 6 years. Both sales and the number of employees has increased steadily over the years, and the introduction of new production technologies as well as the development of a new type of gas spring make us look forward to the future.
