Welcome to Product Pulse 08 As we enter the warmer months, we know that our customers will be gearing up for the busy summer period so this magazine will provide you with the tools to promote products and services that are perfect for the season. We’ll be sharing valuable insights and tips to help you sell to your customers in the best way possible. So, sit back, relax, and digest the latest issue.

But that’s not all - we’ll also be focussing on the next MOT peak to help UK customers prepare for the September wave.

Why 25?

Key failure

Our 25 month/25k miles and tear warranty is not just a marketing ploy; it’s a reflection of our confidence in the products longevity. To ensure the quality of each product, TMD Friction has conducted extensive tests to obtain a precise understanding of the performance. And this comprehensive cover shows that they stand behind their products, giving customers peace of mind.

One of the primary distinctions between Pagid Cera Tec and copper-based lubricants is its ability to endure high temperatures. This characteristic enables the brake system to function optimally by reducing drag and premature wear, allowing the pads to move smoothly. Another advantage of Cera Tec is its non-conductive nature. Unlike other brake greases on the market, Cera Tec will not interfere with the vehicle’s electronics. This is an important consideration in modern cars, which rely heavily on electronic systems to function. By using a non-conductive grease like Cera Tec, customers can ensure that vehicle’s braking systems operate smoothly and without any interference from other electronic components. Quality braking with Pagid’s Cera Tec

GOOD TO KNOW

Upsell opportunity: Using Cera Tec is very straightforward. One tube of Cera Tec is enough to lubricate up to 35 sets of pads, making it a very cost-effective solution for your customers.

Stepping up the braking game

Brembo Xtra brake pads have been specifically engineered to complement the benefits of Brembo’s drilled and slotted discs. They’re the perfect choice for sports driving enthusiasts that don’t want to compromise on comfort and durability during everyday road use. By utilising a specially designed compound called BRM X L01, Brembo Xtra brake pads reduce the amount of friction material used during braking, resulting in less brake dust.

To eliminate the risk of brake fade when under pressure, Brembo’s new Xtra brake pads undergo a scorching treatment. This process significantly increases the brake pad’s resistance to fade, ensuring consistent performance even in the most demanding driving situations. Limited disc wear is expected under all driving conditions - upsell Brembo with confidence. Integral vs two piece: what are the differences

Lightweight The steel/ aluminum hat guarantees about a 15%-30% reduction in the weight of the disc, compared to an standard disc of the same size.

Difference in tolerances To further reduce the weight of the disc, the steel hub is manufactured to a thickness of just 2.5 mm compared to the standard 8mm. Do not swap The integral disc will add 6.5mm more thickness to the disc hat compared to the original “Two Piece” disc. This will decrease the thread engagement of the wheel bolt and alter the clamping load.

High-carbon cast iron braking surface

Co-cast steel hat

Do not swap The standard disc adds up to

15%-30% more weight than the original “Two Piece” disc. Increasing the weight of the unsprung mass and affecting stability.

Stabilus gas springs drastically reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians in a collision, the active engine hood creates a crush collapsible zone. Sensors detect the collision with a cyclist or pedestrian and trigger a gas spring-assisted response. With the raising of the engine hood on the side of the windscreen, the impact can be cushioned which reduces the risk of head injury.

Gas springs should be changed every 5 years or whenever the vehicle has a front-end accident. The expiry date can be found printed on the side of the gas spring.

An eco-conscious Continental

In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the number of brands that are becoming more mindful of sustainability. This shift is driven by various factors, including consumer concerns about climate change and the recognition of the long-term benefits of sustainable practices. Continental are on a mission to help fight climate change and protect the environment with a ‘less is more’ and ‘climate protection’ approach.

Smarter climate protection – new compound for timing belts Introducing their brand new timing belt which combines optimised technical properties with a 50% reduction in CO2 emission. The belt’s profile side is not made from the usual polychloroprene, but from a new and patented synthetic rubber compound offering a host of benefits for the environment and climate. The actual raw materials used have a far lower global warming potential, while the new compound’s carbon footprint – from manufacture to the belt’s disposal – is around 50% smaller. There are some appealing advantages on the technical side too, as the new timing belts enable higher levels of power transmission and also offer improved resistance to cold and heat. Less is more – new packaging With 70% less packaging – not only will customers be helping to combat climate change, but they will also have more room on their shelves. Previously, the individual components of these kits (belt, water pump, tensioner pulleys, etc.) were packed in separate boxes, which were then placed together in a large outer box. In future, a specially folded cardboard insert will protect all components and keep them safely in place within the box without the need for individual packaging.

Benefits include: • Uses less space – halves the amount of carboard needed • Helps the climate – 70% more kits will fit on one pallet • Reduces waste – although the material is recyclable, there will be less to dispose of • Safer working environment – less clutter • Less CO2 = more satisfied customers.

Unleashing the power of battery testing

Although the current weather may be warm, it is essential to remain mindful of the colder days that lie ahead and the impending battery failures as a result. Encourage customers to take proactive measures By testing every battery they’ll be taking customer service to the ‘next level’. Whether they’re informing customers that they can rest easy that their battery is in good health, or giving them the opportunity to update their failing battery – both outcomes have a positive impact on the workshops reputation, and increase your chances of repeat custom.

Not all oils are equal

Are your customers using the right oil?

Your customers wouldn’t put vegetable oil in a car, but what if they were doing just as much damage by using a cheap C3? While the consequences of using the wrong oil may not be as immediate as pouring vegetable oil into an engine, the long-term effects can be detrimental. Over time, the fuel economy will reduce, oil leaks may occur, oil sensors and switches can be affected and the engine itself can start to overheat and eventually fail. Does your customer just want a C3?

The purpose of a Radiator Weld is to seal leaks and address issues in the cooling system of a vehicle. It is specifically designed to repair hairline cracks, minor leaks, and other vulnerabilities in the radiator and cooling water circulation system. By applying the radiator weld, it forms a seal that permanently and reliably prevents coolant leaks, ensuring the proper functioning of the cooling system. This product is particularly useful as a preventative measure, as it can be used proactively to prevent leaks from occurring in the first place.

Our product team has expanded our range of own brand fans to provide customers with more cooling solutions. We now offer vaneless or bladeless fans, previously only available from high-end brands at a fraction of the cost. These fans use air-multiplier technology to generate impressive airflow, making them ideal for homes and workplaces. For many years, we have offered our customers a high-velocity 18-inch floor fan for workshop use. Now, in 2023, we have upgraded to the new 16-inch and 20-inch models that are more powerful than their predecessors.
