Gates has published a Troubleshooting Guide to help all workshop mechanics identify Auxiliary Belt Drive Systems (ABDS) issues.

Today’s cars contain increasingly compact and more powerful engines that place heavy demands on drive systems – and all of the components inside.

While installing a drive belt is a relatively straightforward task – this only remains true as long as the mechanic has access to all of the information required.

A month after the introduction of its Micro-V® Horizon™ multi-ribbed belt, Gates published a Troubleshooting Guide to help all workshop mechanics identify Auxiliary Belt Drive Systems (ABDS) issues before they become problems.

This latest move adds to a supplier support programme that already contains technical workshop seminars and online support.

The Troubleshooting Guide focuses on the interconnectivity of all of the components in the system. As a mechanic, you would expect to find hints and tips about the replacement procedures for worn parts. However, this guide also includes:

• What mechanics should know before they start
• How to diagnose the main issues
• A recap, with quiz questions to check your understanding

If, like Gates, you believe that preventive maintenance is the key to good workshop practice, the new Troubleshooting Guide (Part Number E2/70520) is an ideal tool and provides the groundwork and technical support needed for an ABDS overhaul. Request a copy from your sales representative today!
