The move into electronics

12 September 2013  

As ignition has moved away from ignition leads, points and condensers and now incorporates engine management components – this creates the need for workshops to explain the process now involved on the most ‘basic’ of service repairs to customers. Anthony Hughes, a product specialist at Unipart, says: “The diagnostic process is very time consuming, takes up valuable ramp space and requires intensive labour. It is essential garages have the expertise to fit quality parts first time round to limit the time spent on diagnostics”. Unipart has a full range of engine management parts available to workshops through its network of branches, has a technical support line and a range of tools and diagnostic kit as well as training and support – due to its partnership with Delphi. The firm also works closely with NGK to provide garages with the latest spark plug technology.
