Imported cooling system solutions and maintenance
Sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company brings you REIN cars
Have you noticed that many European cars and SUVs no longer have the coolant replacement intervals listed in the service information? This may be because the cooling system needs to be repaired or replaced before this interval. It can be a hose, a plastic connector or a water pump. Your store has options. Some replacement parts may be better than original parts. When dealing with the complexity and longevity of today's vehicles, these parts can create a win-win situation for your store and customers.
These solutions can simplify maintenance and prevent future failures. In a 45-minute webinar sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company that brought you Rein Automotive, we will introduce six common cooling system repairs for BMW, Audi and Volkswagen. These repair solutions will cover more than 6 million cars on the road today.

The proper hub service does not include a radio. Solve the problem correctly. This video is sponsored by GSP North America.
The most common way people fix wheel hub and bearing noise... is to turn on the radio. So let's turn down the music and see if we can't diagnose it correctly.
Wheel hubs and bearing assemblies are the most difficult parts to machine on vehicles. They not only support the weight of the vehicle when the vehicle is driving through potholes and bumps, but also have the task of keeping the wheels. Ensuring that we correctly identify and diagnose wheel bearing faults is the key to maintaining vehicle safety. In most cases, the first signs of wheel bearing failure will be in the form of grid noise. A simple test drive can help determine if it is a bearing or which. While driving, listen to whether the noise changes with vehicle speed rather than engine speed. A bad wheel hub and bearing assembly will change its noise related to road speed. When driving a vehicle, try different roads. If the noise changes with the road surface, it is likely to be tire noise rather than wheel hub and bearing noise. Sometimes it is more difficult to find the specific bearing making the noise. To test this, long, easy turns will help you load one side of the vehicle. If you turn to the right and the noise becomes louder, the left wheel hub and bearing are worn. The opposite is true for left-hand turns. If the noise becomes louder, the right or passenger side hub and bearing assembly is malfunctioning.
After completing the test drive, it's time to put the vehicle on the lift to better observe things. You can rotate the wheel and tire assembly to listen to the noise and see if there are any meshes. In addition, grab the wheel and tire assembly and shake it up and down. If you can see a gap between the hub and the bearing assembly, it is time to replace it.
Replacing worn wheels and hub assemblies will help ensure everyone’s safety and also make the radio less loud.
