Challenging OE parts

28 October 2014  

According to Remy Automotive, its remanufactured range of parts is equal, if not superior, to the original OE product. The firm claims this is because it re-engineers the OE product to fix any faults in the original design which do not present a problem until they are in use. Spokesman Michael Flensborg states: “With a ‘repaired’ product, one fault is found and it is that one fault which is then repaired. With ‘re-conditioned’, the unit is broken into sub-assemblies which are then tested, the highlighted faults repaired and then rebuilt. This will not identify any underlying faults.” As part of Remy’s reman process, the unit is 100% stripped into individual components, cleaned, inspected against OE standards, remanufactured then re-assembled. All wearing components are replaced and the units are tested in static and dynamic conditions.
