damage, we recommend that technicians always replace or fully clean intake pipes and check for debris before fitting a replacement turbo. All air hoses should be free from contaminants and blockages. Hoses should also be checked regularly as part of routine turbocharger servicing.” For more information, visit: www.melett.com Demand Commenting on the prevalence of turbos, Ivor Searle Commercial Director David Eszenyi said: “The extensive use of turbochargers in both the car and LCV segments has seen the number of applications increasing significantly in the UK’s vehicle parc, resulting in growing demand from workshops for replacement units. As a remanufacturer, Ivor Searle offers an all makes turbo programme which provides over 90% parc coverage and our range is constantly expanding to reflect demand for specific applications. For example, we have just added 70 new car and van applications to our already extensive offering to ensure it is fully up-to-date.” On why workshops should opt for remanufactured turbos, David said: “Costing up to 40% less than OE, Ivor Searle remanufactured turbochargers provide workshops with a competitive advantage without compromising on quality, warranty protection or customer service.“ For more information, visit: www.ivorsearle.co.uk Protect Due to their extremely high rotational speeds, the lubrication is particularly important for turbochargers. With this in mind, LIQUI MOLY offers an additive to protect turbos after they have been repaired or have been first fitted. David Kaiser, Head of Research and Development at LIQUI MOLY observed: “If a new turbocharger is installed or the old turbocharger is repaired, the plain bearings are dry. When the turbocharger starts for the first time, the motor oil has not yet lubricated all bearings. This not only causes a sudden increase in wear, but it can also lead to initial damage that drastically shortens the service life of the turbocharger.” www.aftermarketonline.net MARCH 2024 AFTERMARKET 43 offer OE-matching quality ed are remanufactur gers Elstock turbochar om this is without compr r, and turbocharger o a ed t 55% of the new materials compar factured turbochargers save the environm respo means choosing Elstock Choosing FACTURED TURB REMANUF cores and d from OE y.
