New vehicle-specific tips available for VAG, PSA and Renault engines

We have made 3 new Tech Tips available. These tips address specific installation issues on VAG, Renault and PSA engines.

• Tech Tip 1 informs of the difference in installation between the OE design tensioner and the Gates tensioner on PSA 1.9, 2.0 and 2.2 diesel engines.

• Tech Tip 2 explains why the tensioner for VAG 1.0 16V AST/AVZ and 1.4 16 V AFH engines has a rigid surface

• Tech Tip 3 talks you through the consequences for the timing drive components caused by an upgrade in OE design of Renault 1.4 16V and 1.6 16V petrol engines.

You will notice we have changed our format to bring you up to speed with the latest technical information. Our documents are now called ‘Tech Tips’ and will bring you information in a more brief and to-the-point style. With clear pictures and short descriptions we make it easy for you to use these documents in the workshop.

All of our Technical Bulletins and our new Tech Tips can be consulted and downloaded from our site. Just click here to go to the technical download section. You can also register here below to receive our Tech Tips regularly in your mailbox. This way you always have the latest technical information.

Remember that we also indicate on our packaging whether there is a Technical Bulletin or Tip available for the vehicle you want to service. Always check the box for more information so you can avoid unnecessary mistakes.
