Why OPTIMAL For 30 years the OPTIMAL brand has gained a reputation for high quality engineering. All parts are manufactured in line with OE methods, using quality materials and equipment. Why are we profiling the brand? Having a premium quality aftermarket brand is key so that we can give our customers a genuine alternative to OE. We will be growing our OPTIMAL range so that is always first to market and vehicle in operation relevant. What does this mean for the branch? Deeper range available at branch and RFC. OPTIMAL products give us the premium option, while our Starline brand is our quality price fighter for customers working on lower cost vehicles.

SHW, pioneer of the ventilated brake disc, is one of the world‘s leading brake disc manufacturer with a proud history dating back to the year 1365. In 1964, SHW and Porsche came together to develop the first internal ventilated brake disc, appearing as early as 1966 on the 911S. Today, the lightweight brake discs of SHW are part of the standard equipment on many of today´s new performance vehicles. Especially the composite brake discs in the patented pin-design set new standards in terms of lightweight as well as braking-performance and-comfort in extreme situations.

If a warning light illuminates on a vehicle dashboard, it will most probably fail an MOT.

Failure or faulty EMS products will likely result in an MOT failure, poor fuel economy and poor performance of the engine. EMS is an abbreviation for Engine Management System. EMS products help control vehicle functions electronically. Any product which provides the ECU with information can be classed as EMS.

Bosch lambda sensors within the injection system

Accurate information from the exhaust-gas flow

Modern exhaust-gas systems feature at least two lambda sensors: upstream (control sensor) and downstream (diagnostic sensor) of the catalytic converter. The first one ensures optimum air/fuel mixture while the second one monitors the effectiveness of the first one.

The engine control unit (ECU) determines the mixture composition (lean or rich) based on the lambda sensor voltage. It controls the amount of fuel injected in order to ensure an optimum composition of the air/fuel mixture ( = 1). This creates ideal conditions for exhaust-gas treatment at the catalytic converter. Downstream of the catalytic converter, the second lambda sensor (the diagnostic sensor) checks if the control sensor is working properly.

NOx sensors measure the concentration of nitrogen oxide within the exhaust-gas flow and send current values to the engine control unit via CAN bus. They consist of a sensor, a sensor control unit and a cable harness connecting them with one another.

Many vehicle manufacturers worldwide are fitting Bosch nitrogen-oxide sensors as original equipment. More and more diesel cars and a growing number of light and heavy commercial vehicles (both on/off-highway) are equipped with NOx sensors. As a result, nitrogenoxide sensors are also of increasing importance for the aftermarket business. Although the Bosch workshop range already includes NOx sensors for numerous vehicles on the market, it is constantly being expanded. Moreover, these sensors share the same quality standards as the series production range.

Powerful Plugs from NGK

NGK Ignition Parts range features market leading spark plugs and glow plugs to perfect ignition. As the emissions targets get stricter, it means even standard servicing and spark plug changes are a good way of helping vehicle to meet its emissions thresholds. By fitting NGK spark plugs and using the latest precious metal technology especially, our workshops can benefit from the increased temperatures, spark quality, and longevity found in new Iridium and Platinum type precious metal spark plugs.

The Power of Electric Vehicles: THE VARTA AGM xEV Battery Electric and Hybrid Electric Vehicles are becoming more popular every year. Since most of them are still reliant on a 12V battery, it brings new challenges depending on the specific type of propulsion. Electric vehicles (EVs) are classified by their degree of electric powering. Next to the regular Internal combustion engine (ICE) there are three essential electrified types: Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-In Hybrid-Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV). We at VARTA have a name that covers them all: xEV.

VARTA Silver Heavy Duty 5 year warranty 3x the cycle life compared to conventional batteries.

Newer vehicles are now coming equipped with AGM batteries, to cope with the higher electrical loads and infotainment systems.

Varta Battery Fitting Instruction Exclusive to Omnipart Customers

The importance of 12V batteries in EV 12V batteries remain as an essential part of any car – even electric vehicles. They are needed to start the EV, support low voltage power needs while driving and in case of an emergency or failure of the high voltage battery. They serve as a second power source to ensure an uninterrupted operation of safety-critical systems such as ABS and ESP even when the high voltage battery is compromised. They are also needed to activate the high voltage drivetrain and support all electric consumers that require power when the ignition is off, such as the central locking system, anti-theft systems and over-the-air-updates.

With the increased complexity of battery replacement on newer vehicles and especially Start-Stop models, we have worked closely with VARTA to provide a step-by-step guide. For Start-Stop batteries fitment can be tricky and the location of these batteries are not always easy to find. Take the Range Rover Velar; the battery is stowed away in the boot. These guides aim to take away the complexity of fitment, and saving our customers time.
