Each show featured technical presentations by experts in their fields, John Ely from TUNAP Chemicals, Stuart Tagg from Brembo Braking and Paul Hammond from Autel Diagnostics.

 

 

He then presented a simple solution to the blocked DPF issue in the form of TUNAP 131, an effective DPF cleaning solution that safely dissolves excess ash and TUNAP 132 a DPF flushing agent.  Using these products and the TUNAP DPF cleaning kit a DPF can generally be thoroughly cleaned in-situ on the vehicle in around 3 hours to an as new condition. This can not only save a huge amount on a replacement DPFs, plus fitting cost, but also provide the customer with a much quicker and more convenient solution.

 

 

The system has gained wide spread recognition from vehicle manufacturers and is approved by GM, Fiat and Suzuki, with more formal approvals on the way.  John went on to show the benefits of some of the other innovative products in the TUNAP range, including an active foam EGR Valve Cleaner, a throttle body cleaner and very useful regen aid additive for preventative maintenance on DPFs.   

 

 

Brembo’s Stuart Tagg then gave a presentation that included information on the company’s rich heritage as a leading supplier of braking systems to both motor sport teams and car manufacturers.
