NEW GS TITAN AGM BATTERIES
FPS is now stocking the full range of Titan AGM batteries from GS. The new Titan AGM has revolutionised automotive battery technology to fulfil the very specific requirements of new vehicles. The range meets the latest OEM standards for stop-start micro-hybrid vehicles, where the management of stop-start, alternator and brake regeneration requires the battery to operate in low states of charge. These batteries are designed to reduce CO2 emissions and maximise on fuel savings, which is especially true in urban traffic conditions. All AGM batteries come with a 4 year warranty.

Supplier: Leader Specialist Components

Range Highlight: Glow Plug Control Units (GCUs) for Astra, Zafira and Corsa – the timing controls for glow plugs. They activate the plugs via an electrical current, heating the cylinders to the right temperature for diesel fuel to ignite.

Location: Usually clipped onto the battery holder, within the engine compartment. Found in blue or black depending on the engine code.

Reasons for failure: Most failures occur due to everyday wear-and-tear, engine vibrations, or a water corroded terminal. A faulty GCU hinders ignition, especially in cold conditions.

Replacements: An engine management light on the dashboard alerts the driver to faults. Associated error codes include P0670, P0671, P0672, P0673 and P0674. Unit parts are straightforward to replace.
