To imagine avoiding all claims is probably wishful thinking. But would it not 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.
 

 This label indicates that the installing of this spare part needs extra attention

To complement Triscan’s programme of parts for the synchronization between the crankshaft and camshaft / camshafts, the programme is now expanded to include timing chain kit. The programme currently includes more than 40 references and will be extended ongoing.

Our objective to maintain a 97% programme coverage and delivery performance has not only created valuable and measurable results for our customers, but has also created value for the garages and car owners. With Triscan as a supplier, it is possible to increase sales, reduce inventory value and avoid backorders and even – in worst cases – lost sales. It requires both skilled employees, advanced IT and not least continuity, in order for us at Triscan to be able to achieve and subsequently maintain such a high objective in regard to our programme coverage and delivery performance.

Cleaning the cooling system when replacing the water pump has recently become a hot topic. The garages do - of course - wonder why this extra workflow suddenly is necessary when it has never before been required? Some car owners will probably also be puzzled by the extra posting on the garage bill, and the garages should therefore 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 expands the programme within special water pumps – two new references are added:

8600 29057H (OE no. 06H 121 026 AF, 06H 121 026 BA, 06H 121 026 CF, 06H 121 026 CQ, 06H 121 026 DD)

8600 29062 (OE no. 03C 121 004 C, 03C 121 004 D, 03C 121 004 E, 03C 121 004 G, 03C 121 004 J, 03C 121 004 L)
 

8600 29057H is our existing ref. no. 8600 29057 + housing, thermostat and thermostat flange, which fit VAG cars with 1.8/2.0 TSi/TFSi-engines.

Triscan now keep a bolt kit for a VAG track control arm (rear) in stock. The bolt kit contains all special bolts- and 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 ordered via Triscan’s TriWeb.

As a consequence of our ambitious objective in relation to data quality, programme development and delivery capacity, our administration in Brabrand (DK) has been expanded. With the expansion, we have created the necessary room for the recent and future staff increase. But we have also taken the opportunity to make a reorganisation in order to optimize workflows and gather our test facilities in one place.
 

An increasing number of new car models use thermoplastic drive shaft boots instead of the traditional rubber boots. The benefits of thermoplastic boots are that they are more resistant to solvents and oils, as well as more resistant to the contamination present in the air (including ozone, which degrades the rubber).

Triscan has increased its market share in Germany significantly over the last few years. Nothing suggests that the growth rate will decrease, and therefore it has been necessary for us to look at possibilities to adjust the current set-up to handle the increasing demand.

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.

Triscan has Europe’s best coverage of the car parc and steering parts for almost 98% of the car parc
