Common NCT failures

Vehicles require a NCT to be road legal and worthy. This year has seen a significant change due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Common NCT Failures

The statistics say:

Seat belt failures 2.2%

Body structure failure 1.9%

Drivers view of the road 8.7%

Brakes failure 17.2%

Tyre and wheels failure 10.4%

Light signal failure 29.6%

Suspension failure 20.2%

NB source is from Halfords.

For your piece of mind it’s good to know that we’ve got the parts you need. In this NCT issue, we’ve focused on Tyre and Wheel that will make up part of these failures. We’ve highlighted some of the quality brands and suppliers that are always in stock, most are available same day or next day or whenever you require them.

Our vast range means that you are only a phone call or web visit away from getting the parts you need to service your customers quickly, whilst making the most of this busy period.

Tools to get the job done

Looking at the statistics, Tyre and Wheel Failure feature heavily in the common list of NCT failures. Removing wheels from vehicles can sometimes be difficult if the right equipment isn’t used. Over time, workshop practices are changing, transitioning from traditional pneumatic lines to cordless technology. This is where Milwaukee come into their own with a market leading range of battery operated impact wrenches. No need for air compressors and airlines, these impact wrenches get into all the difficult spaces, meaning, no more stubborn nuts, no wasted time in the workshop - These really are the tools for the job.

Garage Services from Euro Car Parts Team PR Reilly

Tyres are changing 10% of all NCT failures are tyre related. This trend has been increasing year on year, with the number one tyre failure associated to worn treads, bulges and cuts in the tyre wall. Tyre pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) have also seen a big increase. Millions of cars in Europe are fitted with TPMS. Correct tyre care and maintenance is critical for the safety of vehicles. Being able to offer your customers services such as tyre checks and replacement, wheel balancing, as well as TPMS checks will add an additional income to your business, whilst creating customer loyalty. Having the right equipment offers this capability

GEN2 Wheel Bearing Kits

Generation II (GEN 2) type wheel bearings, consist of a combined bearing and drive flange (hub), which cannot be separated and therefore require special tools for both removal and fitting of new bearings. The Laser Tools range, consists of a number of individually sized kits, along with upgrade kits to allow for expansion of applications of different sized bearings, without always having to purchase complete new kits for each bearing size.

TRAINING

COURSES AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE

Modern vehicle wheel alignment technology has advanced massively over recent years, with most vehicles now needing adjustment to both front and rear wheels. The term ‘Tracking’ is now frowned upon by many experts and the requirement for full Four Wheel Alignment has led to an increased demand for new computer and camera based alignment systems, along with the knowledge needed to correctly understand, check and adjust vehicle steering geometry. Correct calibration of ADAS systems requires a full understanding of wheel alignment. This course includes both theory and practical workshop sessions. It also meets the requirements for technicians wishing to complete Auto Education’s ‘Road to Success’, to obtain IMI Diagnostic Technician and Master Technician Status.

Steering Geometry and Wheel Alignment 263779112 € 399

Course Content:

Course Goals and Objectives:

On successful completion of this course, delegates will be able to: • Understand the need for correct wheel alignment • Be able to explain active curve tilting • Understand the difference between adaptive and wireless steering • An appreciation of ADAS systems and how they recalibrate

• Alignment Angles incl KPI and included angle • Pre-alignment inspection • Adjustment techniques • EPS • Active curve tilting • Wireless steering • ADAS systems and components

Every moment of every day our focus is keeping you moving

Every 3rd vehicle entering the workshop could require a new battery By testing every battery, you are keeping your customers moving! It’s recommended that workshops should be performing a battery test on all vehicles coming in for any kind of maintenance. Due to lockdown many vehicles will not have visited a workshop for a long period of time, so it is important for a technician to perform a battery test as part of a service on the vehicle whilst it’s with you. 40% of national breakdowns occur from a direct result of battery failure. Accurate testing can identify batteries in a poor condition and could result in a new battery being fitted, keeping your customers happy and on the road. When you look at the power a battery is required to provide on modern vehicles, it is understandable to see why a more robust battery is required. Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) and Enhanced Flooded Batteries (EFB) have been designed for the increasing electrical demands placed on the battery and fitting a traditional flooded battery will not provide the output needed for the start-stop function or cope with the additional vehicle starts. In addition, more complex vehicle systems such as infotainment screens, smartphone interface and wi-fi output are all commonplace on the latest vehicles. AGM and EFB batteries are designed for the modern vehicle with complex technology. When replacing a battery, it is vital that the correct type of battery technology is fitted to the vehicle. EFB AGM

Not all testers are created equal The challenge is that all battery testers will give a result when testing – good, bad, recharge & retest. Even a tester that is not capable or designed to work with stop start batteries will falsely give a ‘good’ result. When a tester is used that doesn’t have a separate search for battery type AGM and EFB it basically passes it as “good” because the algorithm in the tester is incapable of reading the different battery technology of stop start vehicles. It then tests the battery within its own pre-set parameters for standard batteries. The vehicle now has a “healthy test report”, leaves the workshop only to breakdown shortly afterwards because of the report produced was false due to the battery tester incompatibility.

5 Step best practice

Offer a Battery Test-Check to all customers coming into the workshop.

The test only takes a few minutes. All you need is a battery tester with a printer.

If the diagnoses detects a weak battery, recommend an immediate replacement. It’s proven that 70% of customers follow the workshops recommendation.
