More than 2,000 km from the western coast of Europe in the North Atlantic with Iceland and Greenland as the nearest neighbors lies Iceland. The country, which is best known for its spectacular landscape of volcanoes, geysers, hot springs, lava fields and large glaciers, is also home to spare parts wholesaler AB Varahlutir, with its total of 5 branches, which we recently took a trip to Iceland to visit.
Replacing a defective rack and pinion or power steering pump is often a time-consuming and expensive repair. Therefore, it is particularly annoying if the power steering is broken again shortly after, especially if it turns out that this could have been avoided.

Thereby, the lifespan of the new spare part and the other components of the servo system is reduced greatly.

Suppliers to car manufacturers, have always been subject to very strict requirements with regard to internal quality assurance. The standard that all suppliers of European and North American car manufacturers must meet has recently been modified, updated and tightened. To be fully informed about the information relevant to us, we recently conducted an internal course for our colleagues in the product department with the support of the Danish Technological Institute.
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.

2017 was, in many ways, a fantastic year for Triscan. First, the year ended with us winning the award as supplier of the year at the Auto Awards, furthermore keeping pace with the expansion of the steering part programme was succesful as well. The programme is still the most comprehensive in Europe, the product group has made significant progress, and the expansion of parts for both electric and hybrid cars has been welcomed by our customers.
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.
At Triscan we continuously update and improve our product range. We have had flashers in our range for a long time, and in order to keep up with recent developments, we are now implementing electronic flashers for LED bulbs.
We have previously reported how error codes can be misleading and cause mechanics to falsely question the quality of a replaced part. Recently, our Product coordinator Søren Nielsen experienced himself how the error code reading on his BMW 320i (E90) pointed in the wrong direction.
