Our extensive range of gas springs is now the only one in the aftermarket equipped with electric gas springs at retrofit prices. We currently offer 14 references, but more are on the way. At the same time, in connection with the expansion of our test center, we have extended our possibilities to test gas springs. Here's an overview of the new gas springs and our in-house testing capabilities.

In an earlier article, we have already reported that we have developed parts for the Tesla Model S. The status today is that the 13 parts are ready for delivery in our warehouses. Get an overview of what parts are here and what parts for Tesla our program will be expanded with shortly.

Recently we opened our new in-house test center. Compared to the previous one, we have almost quadrupled the size. Since the establishment of our own in-house test center, it has been shown that the benefits for our customers, but also for us, are so great that the decision to expand the center came naturally. Read more about the new test center and our latest equipment in this article.

The media has continuously been reporting about 3D printing applications in various sectors for a long time. At Triscan we are following this trend closely. However, we're not just standing on the side line looking in - we do more than that. In this article, you'll get an insight into our thoughts and actions concerning this topic as well as the technologies behind the much-discussed 3D printing.

In the free aftermarket, Triscan has always been recognized for its high order fill, where we always strive to reach 97%. This does not happen by itself, but through the continuous development of our processes and investments in state-of-the-art IT systems. In this article, we want to give you an insight into how we ensure that you get your parts in time.

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.
