Visit us at Mechanex Sandown Park 12th – 13th November The Lambda factor NGK enhanced its NTK sensors’ offering last November with the launch of 20 new wide band Lambda sensors – commonly referred to as ‘5-wire’ Lambda sensors – to supplement its existing range of 64 NTK OE 5-wire sensors.Their introduction has significantly increased the UK range coverage – particularly for VAG models – and means that NGK now has 5-wire sensors available for almost every vehicle manufacturer who utilises this technology. Mark Hallam, Marketing Manager, NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd, said: “We have had a very positive response from our customers to the launch of our new NTK 5-wire sensors. As a company we never stand still. NTK has more than 40 years’ experience in the sensor business and this has been a fantastic addition to our portfolio of Lambda sensors, exhaust gas temperature sensors (EGTS), NOx sensors and Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensors and Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensors. “NGK is the world’s largest manufacturer of Lambda sensors under the NTK brand and, as an OE supplier to many of the world’s leading vehicle manufacturers (VMs), supplies the same components to the UK automotive aftermarket. “There are good reasons why NTK Lambda sensors are the No.1 choice of VMs around the world, they are ‘Similar but different’.“ Mark said the experience NGK has in supplying the VMs worldwide allows it to offer exactly the right sensor for every vehicle application: “Distributors should encourage garages to always go with a bespoke OE-quality Lambda sensor and steer well clear of ‘universal sensors’.“ In April this year NGK also introduced a new range of premium NTK camshaft and crankshaft sensors (also known as engine speed & position sensors) to the UK. Mark added: “The new sensors – comprising more than 200 UK-specific part numbers with excellent UK vehicle parc coverage – opens up further OE replacement opportunities for aftermarket customers. In addition to its market-leading NTK sensors portfolio, NGK Spark Plugs (UK) Ltd is also a leading supplier of OE spark plugs and glow plugs, plus ignition coils, to the independent automotive aftermarket.“ DPF cleaning from Ivor Searle Ivor Searle offers a fast-turnaround DPF cleaning service for cars and light commercial vehicles. Including collection and delivery, the direct-to- workshop service also includes a guaranteed 12- month no quibble unlimited mileage warranty. Utilising advanced Flash Cleaning technology, Ivor Searle’s water-based DPF cleaning process delivers as new levels of cleanliness. The eco-friendly system removes all contamination, including PM10 particles, cerium oxide deposits and oil residues, from the DPF. Unlike chemical-based DPF cleaning processes, which only remove soot, Flash Cleaning eliminates both soot and ash deposits. This returns a DPF back to OE levels of performance at a much lower cost than purchasing a new OEM unit or risking fitment problems with a generic aftermarket replacement. www.ivorsearle.co.uk LIQUI MOLY diesel particulate filter protection This fuel additive from LIQUI MOLY protects DPFs. The functional life of a DPF is limited, and under some circumstances, and as the result of how a car is driven, can fall significantly below the manufacturer guidelines. One of the main causes of this is soot, the filter's arch enemy. However, LIQUI MOLY’s diesel particulate filter protection helps to keep the filter clean and allows it to last longer. It also provides an additional income stream for garages. www.liqui-moly.com
