The voice of the independent garage sector

Made in Britain

The British-made air mass meters produced by Standard Motor Products Europe use programmable technology rather than the more common variable resitior which can go out of synch when subjected to engine vibration. Each unit is thoroughly tested rather than undergo batch testing, then calibrated to its design specifications in order to achieve consistent results to match OE performance. The Intermotor and Fuel Parts branded sensors have the SMPE logo etched on their body and are electronic coded with a serial number to allow full traceability. An individual test certificate is included for quality assurance and the part number can be identified with a – M suffix. The firm is now focusing on the manfacture of ABS sensors at its Nottingham premises.
