Remy Automotive UK Ltd, the UK’s leading automotive parts manufacturer, has announced the introduction a new fault diagnosis poster which has been specifically designed to help garages correctly diagnose vehicle faults before fitting a new brake caliper.

In full colour – and with simple to follow instructions – the new A2 size poster has been designed for wall placement in garages to provide a step-by-step process for the technician to follow. This is to avoid the brake calipers wrongly being replaced when this is actually not the real cause of the vehicle fault.

The technician can simply refer to the Remy fault diagnosis poster and check carefully against each of four common braking faults – worn brake pads, worn brake discs, brake fluid levels and sensors. This ensures that only when all of these alternative braking conditions have been checked is the decision then made that the brake caliper is faulty and should be replaced. This prevents expensive labour and material costs, as well as wasted ramp time, due to the wrong diagnosis of the cause of the actual fault.

The new poster also provides the technician with very helpful conventional and electric park brake caliper (EPB) installation tips, together with important warnings and steps which should always be followed.

“We recently produced fault diagnosis posters for both starters and alternators and for steering racks and pumps” says Michael Flensborg, Sales & Marketing Director of Remy Automotive UK Ltd. “Remarkable trade demand for these posters led us to consider other ways in which we could assist the technician in his day to day diagnostic activities when actually working on vehicles to repair. We are confident that the availability of this new brake caliper poster will greatly assist garages in speedy and correct diagnosis of vehicle faults before the step is finally taken to replace the brake caliper.”

Remy has already introduced more than 350 new brake caliper part references this year, increasing the overall range to nearly 4,000 part numbers. The new Remy brake caliper fault diagnosis posters are now available free to garages through their local factor.
