The Autobiz technical tips library continues to grow and the latest additions can be viewed at www.TechTips.ie.

    Recent additions to the site include:
• The Conti Watch and Work series continues, with timing belt instructions for a growing number of Makes and Models. Conti identifies Makes and Models that are more troublesome, or are more likely to end up with installation errors that result in reduced timing belt life or premature failure. The latest videos cover the Kia Picanto 1.1 litre engine, the Hyundai Accent II 1.5 litre engine and the Daewoo Lanos 1.3 litre engine.
    These recent additions brings the total number of Watch and Work videos available, in English, to 47.

• MAHLE’s latest Technical Messenger warns mechanics how a slight, and easily overlooked, misplacement of the replacement gasket for an oil filter insert, can cause an oil leak from the filter cover. The oil filter inserts concerned are part numbers OX 379D and OX 370D1. A mis-positioned tab on the gasket can be easily overlooked, and it may then cause a leak that might not be noticeable before the car is returned to the customer.
