Welcome to our second issue of Drive. We have quite a lot happening within hella and from the irish aftermarket since our last edition. We have been busy working to improve our offer to our customers in all areas of the business. i hope you are seeing the results in our day to day dealings. We are delighted to announce the introduction of mann & hummel (mann) filters and nf Parts suspension coil springs. mann filters are renowned worldwide as the premium supplier to both vehicle manufacturers (Oe) and the aftermarket. nf Parts coil springs are the second addition to our nf Parts range after cables and comes from one of the biggest Oe suppliers. this is very much in line with our strategy to bring you, our customers, the best selection of Oe brand replacement parts in ireland. the changes haven’t stopped there, recently we started to re-build our warehouse to double capacity and prepare for the next steps of our product range expansion. in the first phase we added 7,000 new parts bins which brings us closer to the 30,000 we require by year end. i am also delighted to welcome brona reilly, our new marketing manager, to the team. brona brings a wealth of knowledge and experience with her and already has exciting plans for our future marketing activities. On our ‘garage Services’ side we have now officially launched automester, the first full service concept for independent garages in ireland. helping independent garages in working more efficiently and so more successfully is our target with automester. this nordic forum concept has over 600 happy garage members in other european markets and this experience will help members in ireland. from our side it is another important step in our strategy to supply, together with our partners on factor level, a high quality range of tools, parts and services. i know you will have fun reading this issue and give us a call when we can help you, there is a fantastic team waiting for you.

So ‘tools, Parts and Services’ expresses in words what the hella ireland today is all about and offers a cockpit for the future direction of the company. Over the years we at hella ireland have developed a proud reputation for supplying a limited but high quality spare parts range that are competitively priced. as part of our latest development we now believe there are three key elements to be successful. firstly, we must offer the most comprehensive range of Oe spare parts to irish aftermarket garages. Secondly, we must also offer the latest test equipment to allow independent garages compete with Oe garages and thirdly we must supply all the relevant technical information and training to allow garages to successfully complete the vehicle repair. So this is now our clear strategy and we use our ‘cockpit’ image to convey this message. Sales Director mannix Kennedy elaborated: “for us there are three key elements in proper vehicle repair: the quality of the part, having the correct tools to diagnose the fault and finally the ability of the technician to use the tool and carry out the correct repair.” hella ireland is now geared up to supply the high quality parts, according to mannix “We stock parts from major Oe parts manufacturers. this allows independent garages to fit the original quality part just like main dealers. We also offer some product ranges in a second line brand and these are ideally suited for older vehicles, where fitting an Oe part could not be justified and these parts also are of matching quality” he added. “We are continiously adding to our range of products and look to introduce a further 10,000 parts over the next 18 months. this will complete the first phase of offering a complete range of Oe quality spare parts for vehicle repair” mannix enthused. hella ireland's ability to expand its product offering was facilitated by joining the nordic forum group five years ago. the arrival of a new iam managing Director in 2012, Joahnnes Schade, who worked elsewhere in the group before arriving in ireland is also key in this expansion. mannix noted: “Johannes and the product management team have been very active behind the scenes, in driving the new brands and ensuring that we are getting the best deals. the support and resource that we are now receiving from the nordic forum is fantastic. We are now seeing the real benefits of being part of a multinational company and more importantly so are our customers”. the nordic forum comprises of hella companies from Denmark, norway, finland (partner), russia, estonia, Poland and ireland. nordic forum is amongst the top buying groups in europe with an annual turnover in excess of €550 million.

What iS a Wheel hUb bearing anD Why iS it SO imPOrtant? though you may never even see it, a wheel hub bearing unit is an important part of your car’s wheel assembly, enabling your wheels to turn freely and playing a crucial role in the safety and handling characteristics of your vehicle. comprised of precision manufactured bearings, seals and sensors in one preassembled unit, a wheel hub bearing unit is critical to your car’s performance, from the smoothness of the ride, to fuel efficiency, to the integrity of your anti-lock breaking system (abS). So when it’s time to replace one, you’ll want a replacement hub bearing that’s as good – and safe – as the original that came with your car when it was new.

leading the field in both Oe and aftermarket friction development, Pagid is working in partnership with the world´s leading vehicle manufacturers for high performance cars. you will see hella Pagid on shelves across the country from June 2013. if you have any questions on the range or where you can purchase it from contact us on 01 862 0000.

their cheaply made seals can allow moisture and contaminants to enter and destroy the bearing prematurely – requiring you to pay for a new hub in as little as 10,000 miles. they can produce annoying wheel vibration and noise. they can cause your anti-lock braking system to malfunction, leading to safety concerns for your vehicle. they can even result in your wheel coming off while you are driving – potentially causing a fatal accident.

Who is skF and what makes their hub bearings better – and safer? SKf manufactures Original equipment hub bearings for many automakers all over the world. Our premium quality hub bearings are manufactured using high quality steel and surface finishes, premium seals, Oe sensors, precision manufacturing techniques and precise assembly tolerances. every SKf premium hub is 100% tested to the actual Oe specifications per part number for fit, form and function. that means it will fit correctly and work correctly, and last as long as the original hub that came with the car when it was new. in many cases, it’s the same one!

How do my car’s hub bearings affect braking safety?

Why are “value grade” hubs a risky choice? many manufacturers sell replacement hub bearings that are very low priced. initially, you may think that is a great deal or value. Unfortunately, with that low price, you get a low quality hub bearing that is inferior to a premium, Original equipment quality hub bearing. We call these hubs ‘value grade’, and experience has proven that these low performing ‘value grade’ hubs are no real value in the long run. in fact, in many cases: • value grade hubs last less than half as long as premium hubs.

your car’s hub bearings include the wheel speed sensor that controls your anti-lock braking system (abS). this sensor sends a constant signal to the abS control system, telling it how fast each wheel is turning. in an emergency situation, the abS control system will determine if antilock braking is required. if the abS sensor doesn’t work properly or fails, the abS system fails, so the quality of this sensor (how it is made and protected from damage) is critical to braking safety. hella ireland offer a complete range of Oe quality wheel bearings.

in principle mass airflow sensors determines the mass of air flowing into the engine’s air intake system. When air flows past the wire element, the wire cools, decreasing its resistance, which in turn allows more current to flow through the circuit or causing a smaller voltage drop over the wire. as more current flows, the wire’s temperature increases until the resistance reaches equilibrium again. the current or voltage drop is proportional to the mass of air flowing past the wire. the integrated electronic circuit converts the measurement into a calibrated signal which is sent to the ecU.

combustion process which fundamentally responds to air mass, not air volume. all genuine air mass meters are manufactured and designed in accordance to Oem / eU specifications. genuine Oe brands such as bosch, Denso, hella and Pierburg use only the highest grade of raw materials and the latest electronic components in each of their parts. these genuine components are usually designed to be self cleaning and this function is controlled by sophisticated electronics. it is this function amongst others that sets Oe genuine air mass meters apart from cheaper alternatives.

robert bosch gmbh introduced the first automotive lambda probe in 1976 and was first used by Saab and volvo the very same year. the "wideband" or 5 wire sensor, was first introduced by robert bosch in 1994, and has been widely used for car engine management systems in order to meet the ever-increasing demands for better fuel economy, lower emissions and better engine performance at the same time. these wideband 5 wire lambda sensors are used in stratified fuel injection systems (mainly vag fSi & tfSi models), and can now also be used in diesel engines to satisfy the upcoming eUrO and Ulev emission limits.

oE genuine Lambda sensors (bosch and Denso)

if air density increases due to pressure increase or temperature drop, but the air volume remains constant, the denser air will remove more heat from the wire indicating a higher mass airflow. Unlike the vane meter's paddle sensing element, the hot wire responds directly to air density. this sensor's capabilities are well suited to support the gasoline

automotive oxygen sensors, otherwise known as O2 sensors, make modern electronic fuel injection and emission control possible. they help determine, in real time, if the air–fuel ratio of a combustion engine is rich or lean. Since oxygen sensors are located in the exhaust stream, they do not directly measure the air or the fuel entering the engine but when information from the oxygen sensors is coupled with information from other sources, (air mass meters & accelerator position Sensors etc), it can be used to indirectly determine the air-fuel ratio.

lambda sensor is placed in very demanding areas of the fuel system and has to endure extreme temperatures and conditions and they are designed to last up to 150,000 Km’s. in order for these sensors to meet these demands and perform to the standards for which they were designed the materials used in their construction must be of the highest quality. they are a very important component of the fuel injection system, so it is important that Oe genuine brands such as bosch and Denso are used.

JoHN mccaBe - owNer Jmc auTo services.

Jmc auto Services, owned and run by John mccabe since 2007, is an independent service and repair garage located on the Kingscourt/Shercock road, co. cavan. John previously worked in a number of dealerships (eg. Opel, citroen, mitsubishi) prior to establishing his own garage. John was very conscious when setting up his new business in 2007 that he wanted to do it right, he says “you get one chance to make a first impression so for me i knew the premises had to be purpose built. my intention from day one is to let my customers know that they are dealing with a professional operation. So the facilities, the equipment, and my staff are vital components. Of course you’re never finished and i’m very happy with our first 6 years in business but you can never stand still otherwise you go backwards.”

“My intention from day one is to let my customers know that they are dealing with a professional operation” The Team John, himself, has in excess of 20 years’ experience in the motor industry and is the first to acknowledge the vital part of having a successful team working with him. as he says himself “look you can’t do it all on your own so erik and ronan are a real important part of my business.” erik Przytulski is 27 and has worked with Jmc auto Services for the last 5 years. erik has 11 years’ experience and is fully qualified having worked with dealerships before joining Jmc. erik enjoys the professional and high level of equipment in Jmc. erik says: "every job can be done here". erik also finds it very positive that John involved his team in joining automester from the very start.

ronan Wilson is 19 and is now in his second year of apprenticeship. ronan says “i now understand how important industry training and education are. you have no chance to fix a modern car without this.” Working with Jmc auto Services is real positive for ronan, he adds “John is so progressive and eager to improve all the time. any problem car that comes in here gets fixed, John insists on this.” ronan was very enthuastic when he was informed about automester and is looking forward to the benefits. why join automester? We asked John the simple question, why join automester? “after building my business i had been looking for something unique to differentiate me as a top independent repairer. Something that would tell the public that i’m a professional operation while at the same time adding vital assistance for my business. automester does this for me. from our first meeting in September i knew the automester team were experienced and professional. Once i had my decision made and automester were happy with their audit requirements i was up and running within 8 weeks, that’s service.” John continues “life as an independent repairer is very challenging today. between the complexity of the car and the aggressive competition from main dealers i struggle to keep up the standards required. i’ve seen what automester has achieved for independent garages in Denmark and norway. i want to be part of this in ireland and show my customers that i run the best garage in cavan. automester gives me a strong high quality brand which is important but equally i get vital technical information, data, training and support services. i see the importance of joining a network of like-minded garages around the country building a high quality standard that we can all be proud of. above all for me, automester is a partnership.”

you would have to be impressed with the standard and presentation of this company. outlook for the future John is very optimistic “to be honest i’m delighted that i have automester now. i know i’ve a partner that will take a lot of my headaches away and leave me to look after customers and fix their cars”. for us here at Drive it was a pleasure to visit Jmc and we thank them for their great hospitality. most of all we came away thinking the future for independent repairers is bright after all.

Exhaust gas recirculation system (EgR) general to achieve exhaust emission reductions, some vehicles, are fitted with an exhaust gas recirculation system. this system is controlled by the ecU and the egr valve. fUnctiOn Due to the recirculation of a part of the exhaust gas the nox concentration can be reduced. the recirculated exhaust gas, supplied to the air intake, will not combust, it absorbs a part of the combustion heat and warms up. this causes a drop in the combustion temperature. a lower combustion temperature causes a lower nOx concentration. to ensure that always the right quantity is recirculated the control follows the engine performance maps of the ecU. there are two control possibilities: the direct connection between the ecU and the egr valve or via a switching valve. in this case, the ecU controls the switching valve that open and close a vacuum line. the vacuum then opens and closes the egr valve. caUSeS Of failUre a faulty exhaust recirculation system can produce the following fault symptoms: • engine control light illumination, storing a fault code • black smoke (diesel engine) • rough idling causes for a faulty exhaust recirculation system: • egr valve plugged or permanently open • missing control of the ecU / ground 2 • faulty, plugged lines • faulty, plugged vacuum lines • faulty switching valve • faulty wires, bad contact of the connectors

hella ‘cUStOmer Service team’ - 60 yearS Of cOmbineD eXPerience

Well you've talked with all three of them often enough, so who are the people behind the voices at the customer Services desk and maybe we can find out some juicy bits on each of them!!

We'll start with the longest serving member and that’s Mark kelly. mark is a young 36 year old, living in finglas with his long time partner elisa and their two fantastic kids leah (9) and carl (14). mark joined hella in millennium year 2000 as a warehouse operative and experienced many areas of the business in the intervening years. he joined the customer services team in 2007 and as he says himself "it’s the easiest job in the world!!". Of course having young kids takes up most of mark's freetime but he does manage to keep his pride & joy bmW 320ci sparkling in between (if it hasn't broken down again!!).

Mark

next up is gerard Downey. ger joined hella in may, 2009 and has had experience in various areas of the hella business. he is our ‘mr. Positive’ and is married to the lucky fiona!! they have three great kids, evan (14) and twins caragh and leah (13). ger's interests revolve around his kids so he's into football, golf and marathon running. in fact ger has run 4 full marathons and is

ger getting ready for the next Dublin event. ger also does some acting but he assures us not on work time!! alongside customer services ger is also responsible for goods returns and warranty claims.

and last but not least is Michael Maguire. mick is a sprightly 56 sorry 36 year old!! he joined hella only this year in april and lives in Drogheda. he is a qualified

Mick mechanic and spent 3 years in the big USa fixing fancy muscle cars. On returning to the ‘old sod’ he fancied a change and has been involved in the parts side of the business ever since. he's a real car fanatic and he currently owns what he calls the "best" golf mk.5 gti in ireland. mark and ger reckon that mick could have bought a rolls royce by now for all the time and money he has spent on the golf.

WOrKShOP management

hella WOrKShOP manager: bOOSting garage efficiency

it is fair to say that currently few independent garages in ireland have fully embraced the possibilities offered by information technology to make their business more efficient. many use only basic computer systems, not necessarily designed for the automotive sector, while many other workshops still rely on the traditional pen and paper. this now looks set to change as a new integrated garage computer system becomes available for the first time in ireland.

hella Workshop manager (hWm) software package is the product from leading parts supplier hella. the system is a tried and tested for the past 8 years by some 400 garages in Denmark. Johannes Schade, mD for hella independent aftermarket in ireland explains the philosophy behind the software. he says, “hWm brings everything together for the independent garage in one easy to use software package. this means it has fully integrated customer records, parts identification and ordering, job card creation, technical information, accounts and much more in one convenient package.” he adds, “We know from our experience in other countries that it has the potential to transform a garage business, making it more efficient and so more profitable.” hella ireland have several trial

installations running at present and overall the pilot garages have been very impressed with the system. hWm makes the whole repair and service process quicker and easier, by handling customer details, producing quotes, job cards and service schedules, identifying and ordering the right parts and producing invoices. the system can integrate with a full technical information package that has service and parts information for just about every car on irish roads. this includes a reg look-up facility for highly accurate parts identification. Once a car is booked in, the system can produce job cards and mechanic check sheets for a particular repair or service, with estimated times. it also has access to a wealth of technical data on all vehicles including useful guides to common repairs such as timing belt replacement. the system also has the

capacity to interface with hella gutmann Solution Diagnostic systems to record and store vehicle specific diagnostic data. Prices for the hWm software package vary according to the modules selected, but start from as little as €680 per annum for a basic system up to €1600 p.a. for a package with full technical data access and accounting package. the only other requirements are a Pc or laptop and a good broadband connection. automester garages receive a further discount. Johannes says, “With rapidly changing automotive technology, independent garages need to improve their information systems to be efficient and competitive. hWm is a proven system that really can transform a garage business.” to get your own no obligation free trial call hella on 01 8620000.

When it cOmeS tO yOUr training... Don’t Risk bEing LEFt bEHinD the modern car is getting more and more complex, and so are the methods of repairing them once they have a problem. When you now discuss having the right ‘tools’ to do a job you are no longer describing a physical piece of metal or machinery. you are talking about the piece of machinery, the right information and the person who has the

knowledge to use the tool properly and interpret the information correctly. We are able to help you with all three of these with diagnostic tools from hgS and bosch, with technical information from hgS and autodata and training from the hella training academy (hta).
