Demonstrating the growing number of product groups that now feature in its aftermarket programme, Dayco, has introduced almost 40 new part numbers during the first quarter of 2022.

Although many of the new additions are familiar power transmission components, where Dayco is a major player, supplying original equipment parts to vehicle manufacturers,  several fall within other categories, for instance, thermal management.

“Among the new parts we have recently introduced,” explains National Sales Manager, Steve Carolan, “are thermostats, both traditional flange and more modern housing types, which together fit several popular vehicles from BMW, Mercedes, Renault and Volvo, as well as numerous VAG applications. VAG also features among the water pump additions that are an increasingly recognised product in our growing range of thermal management parts.”

Steve adds, “Reverting to power transmission products, a notable addition among our new FEAD (front end auxiliary drive) kits is KPV1145, which features a unique Stop/Start tensioner and is the OE fitment on various PSA vehicles including the DS5, 3008 and 508. Although the tensioner is also available separately, we naturally recommend workshops purchase the full FEAD kit, as this allows them to complete a full system overhaul, with the added security that provides the vehicle’s owner.”

Steve also points out that Dayco added to its damper pulley range with new parts for BMW, Mercedes, MINI, Opel, PSA and VAG. 

Steve concludes, “As a teaser for things to come, we’ll also be introducing steering & suspension kits later this year and we’d be delighted to discuss them, our current new additions and of course our complete product range, with both workshops and wholesalers planning to attend the UK Garage & Bodyshop Event in Birmingham on the 8th & 9th June.”
