Castrol ON EV Transmission Fluid W2 and W5 are demonstrated in bespoke testing and development to go further, charge faster and last longer. The low-viscosity formulations of W2 and W5 have been specifically developed to deliver low electrical conductivity and enhanced system protection, helping the e-motor run at cooler temperatures and at optimal efficiency. Both products have been designed and extensively tested to handle the high torque outputs that EV motors can generate even from low speeds. 'HOSKL ૻKRZ WRૼ YLGHRV IRU RQOLQH WHFK WRRONLWV Delphi is encouraging garage owners and technicians to take advantage of its evergrowing online library of ‘how-to’ videos, to help tackle the increasingly complex and diverse range of workshop jobs. The PHINIA brand said each video is part of Delphi’s ongoing Masters of Motion programme. They cover key concepts with expert tips and step-by-step guidance. Luke Garratt, UK & Nordics technical services manager at Delphi, said: “These videos are created by technicians, for technicians.” Some of the latest videos include ‘How to adapt a lowpressure EGR valve’, which walks technicians through the correct procedure from checking for fault codes in the exhaust gas recirculation valve to a final road test. Another, ‘How to perform real-time data recording’. (6,>WURQLF@ (YROXWLRQ WKH MRXUQH\ VR IDU Since Bosch ESI[tronic] Evolution diagnostic software went live in January, many workshops have been enjoying the fresh look and enhanced experience provided by the convenient new Start Screen user interface, including direct links to comprehensive service and maintenance information. What’s more, ESI[tronic] Evolution now offers access to an abundance of additional information. Enhanced content includes the OE documents for Audi, VW, Fiat vehicles, BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce. As the Evolution continues, Bosch has now introduced another feature of ESI[tronic] Evolution that simplifies vehicle identification for UK registered vehicles. Previously, this software allowed identification through manual selection criteria, vehicle identification number (VIN) reading, or RB Key. However, with the 2024/3 update, vehicle identification can now also be carried out via the number plate, making it even easier for IAM workshops to handle UK vehicles. While the new update offers the convenience of licence plate identification, the software still supports identification through all the other options available in the vehicle selection screen, including free text, VIN identification and manual selection. 7KLQNFDU 8. WRROV IRU DJHLQJ FDU SDUF Thinkcar UK is bringing a range of task-specific tools to the market to help technicians looking for innovative solutions to diagnose faults on ageing yet complex modern vehicles. The announcement comes as data from sector analysts GiPA indicate one of the fastest growing car parc segments is vehicles aged 10 years and above. Among tools unveiled include the Thinkcar ES401 Steering Endoscope. Alex Gillbanks, MD of Impact Diagnostics, the specialist supplier behind Thinkcar UK, said the tool is designed to support techs performing inspections in tight spaces.
