ENHANCED PRODUCT FITS JUST LIKE THE ORIGINAL

MEYLE introduces two component brake discs for common BMW and Mercedes models, offering OE qualities such as accurate fit, low offset, reduced weight, and the associated fuel savings, in addition to the expected performance and driving comfort.

The manufacturer is expanding into the aftermarket with brakes in areas previously reserved for vehicle manufacturers. Seven new references for the two component MEYLE PD brake discs are now available for the BMW models 3 to 8 Series, X3 to X5, and Z4, and for Mercedes C-Class and E-Class models.

The brake discs comprise an aluminium or stamped steel hat riveted to the cast iron friction ring. They are ECE-R90-certified and due to the surface coating, do not require degreasing, ensuring long-lasting protection against corrosion. A higher percentage of carbon makes the two component brake discs exceptionally resistant to heat distortion even in cases of higher thermal stress.

To ensure efficient installation at the workshop, 99% of the brake discs are equipped with a fixing screw.

NEW FORD 1.5L ECOBLUE TURBODIESEL ENGINE OIL

Morris Lubricants has launched Multivis ECO FE 0W-20, a new low viscosity, high performance engine oil formulated for use in Ford’s 1.5L EcoBlue turbodiesel engines, complying with the performance requirements of the Ford WSS-M2C-952-A1 OEM specification.

Ford’s 1.5L EcoBlue turbodiesel engines place high demands on the oil to protect the engine from timing chain wear and turbocharger deposits. Over time, these issues can cause a lack of efficiency, poor fuel economy or component failure. The lubricant will help to protect components from wear and tear and corrosion, while promoting improved levels of cleanliness. The new engine oil provides a strong ultra-thin oil film around engine components, to minimise internal energy losses that promote power transfer to the wheels and helping to protect components under load.

As smaller, direct fuel injection engines are developed, turbocharging will be essential to keep power outputs up and the engine oil will need to protect turbochargers that operate at high temperatures and pressures. Multivis ECO FE 0W-20 has been formulated to control high temperature deposits and sludges, promoting efficiency, fuel economy and reducing emissions.

Technical Advisor explains: “Owners of Ford vehicles with a 1.5L EcoBlue turbodiesel engine may now find their car out of warranty and want to select an independent garage for servicing and repairs, rather than using the OEM’s branded oil. Our new Multivis ECO FE 0W-20 oil is the ideal solution to help protect these 1.5L EcoBlue turbodiesel engines from several potential issues and give those in the automotive industry an alternative supplier option.”
