Remy Automotive UK Ltd, the UK’s leading rotating electrics manufacturer, has announced that, as a result of enormous technician demand, it has reprinted its fault diagnosis poster specifically designed to help garages properly diagnose vehicle faults before fitting a new starter or alternator.

The poster, which was first introduced eighteen months ago, has proved so successful that the original print run has now been exhausted. It emphasises the vital role of the battery as the heart of the charging system and the importance of checking that the correct battery is on the vehicle and that it is in a good state of charge and condition. This is particularly important in Winter conditions when problems with charging or starting become increasingly apparent.

In full colour - and with simple to follow instructions - the A2-size poster has been designed for wall placement in garages to provide a step-by-step process for the technician to follow when dealing with four common vehicle faults that can occur when dealing with potential starter motor problems and four with alternators. These often lead to the starter motor or alternator 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 against each of these common vehicle faults to ensure that only when all of these alternative conditions have been checked is the decision then made that the starter or alternator is faulty and should be replaced. This prevents expensive labour and material costs being wasted while the vehicle is on the ramp due to the wrong diagnosis of the cause of the actual fault.

The full Remy range of over 4,000 starter and alternator part numbers covers a total of more than 35,000 vehicle applications and comes with a 2 year warranty. The Remy rotating electrics fault diagnosis posters are now available free to garages through their local factor.
