Spring into action with<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> Coil Springs<br />
From February 2011 over 400 coil springs for<br />
Japanese, Korean and American vehicles will<br />
be available from stock.<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> coil springs are not just OE quality they<br />
are also OE specification with every spring<br />
specifically designed to be an exact replacement<br />
for the original part. The use of ‘generic’<br />
aftermarket springs can compromise the ride,<br />
handling and safety of a vehicle – so ask<br />
your distributor for <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> to give your<br />
customer original quality and specification at<br />
aftermarket prices.<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> brake pads –<br />
Now up to 50% cheaper<br />
We have reduced our trade price on over 40 popular<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> brake pad part numbers.<br />
This ensures they stay competitive against both the main<br />
dealer and aftermarket competitors – without cutting our<br />
product quality.<br />
The next time you need brake<br />
pads for a Japanese, Korean<br />
or American vehicle, ask<br />
your factor to supply<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> – for the<br />
quality you trust at a<br />
price to compete.<br />

Timing Belt Kits -<br />

including Water Pumps<br />
When changing a timing belt it is good practice to also change the water pump.<br />
ADL has introduced a short range of complete kits that<br />
include both the timing belt and water pump as a<br />
single <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> part number. This not only makes the<br />
repair more economical but is also good preventative<br />
maintenance. Overlooking a cam belt driven water<br />
pump could potentially be disastrous, as the pump<br />
would have received the same amount of usage as the<br />
other parts being replaced.<br />

Hybrid vehicles have been around for over a decade. With evermore stringent emission<br />
regulations, tax breaks for ‘greener’ vehicles and the increasing culture of environmental<br />
responsibility from businesses and consumers alike, the popularity and use of Hybrid systems<br />
only looks set to increase.<br />
Hybrid Technology is the principle of using two power sources to drive a vehicle. There are basically three<br />
types of Hybrid system: Series Hybrid, Parallel Hybrid and Series Parallel.<br />
The most common Hybrid vehicle on the road, the Toyota Prius, uses the Series Parallel system, and more<br />
and more manufacturers are adopting it for use in their vehicles.<br />
It was 1997 when the first Prius hit the roads in Japan, and yet, over a decade on, the vast majority of<br />
Hybrid vehicles are still being serviced by main dealers. With voltages in excess of 500 Volts throughout<br />
the power train, it is no wonder that many independent technicians are reluctant to work on<br />
these vehicles.<br />
In the diagram to the right you will see there are three<br />
MG1 - Starter + Charger<br />
main boxes. These are the engine, MG1 and MG2.<br />
MG2 - Motor + Regenerative Brake<br />
The engine needs no explanation; MG stands for<br />
Motor/Generator. The main points to bear in mind with both of<br />
the MG units are, if we supply electricity to either of these they<br />
will rotate as driven motors. Equally if we supply torque to these<br />
items as they are driven, they will generate electricity.<br />
MG1 – When acting as a motor it performs the roll of a starter<br />
motor on a conventional vehicle. When it performs its<br />
roll as a generator, it is the engine driven generator.<br />
MG2 – When acting as a motor it physically provides torque to the driven road wheels through a drive<br />
chain. When it acts as a generator it acts as a brake to the driven wheels – converting torque<br />
into electricity.<br />
Hybrid vehicles are becoming more and more common on the UK’s roads and represent a real<br />
opportunity for technicians who know how to service and maintain these vehicles.<br />

Both Hybrid and fully electric vehicles, and<br />
now some conventional vehicles employ<br />
regenerative braking systems.<br />
What is Regenerative Braking<br />
Regenerative braking uses the principal of capturing<br />
the energy lost during braking to re-charge the<br />
vehicle’s battery.<br />
How does it work<br />
<strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong> now offers a choice of two<br />
Hybrid Technology courses which will<br />
facilitate a good understanding of Hybrid<br />
system operating principles, enabling all<br />
technicians to conduct safe, routine<br />
maintenance and servicing.<br />
The one day course is an introduction to Hybrid<br />
systems which effectively combines classroom<br />
theory and tuition, with hands on practical<br />
demonstrations on a Hybrid vehicle.<br />
The NEW two day course expands on these<br />
important elements and is an IMI approved<br />
QCF Level 2 qualification in the discipline.<br />
Courses will be held at venues across the UK<br />
throughout 2011 and can in some instances<br />
even be conducted at your premises.<br />

Pressing the brake pedal<br />
tells the vehicle’s ECU that<br />
you wish to decelerate;<br />
the ECU will then slow<br />
the vehicle in two ways:<br />
n The first is for the vehicle’s electric motor to be<br />
converted into a generator. As the electric motor<br />
is mechanically connected to the driven wheels the<br />
application of torque will cause the driven wheels<br />
and therefore the vehicle, to slow. The conversion<br />
of the motor into a generator charges the vehicle’s<br />
battery at the same time, meaning the vehicle can<br />
generate electricity without burning fuel, thus<br />
improving fuel economy.<br />
n At the same time the vehicle’s ECU will calculate<br />
the difference between the rate of deceleration<br />
desired by the driver and the rate of deceleration<br />
generated through regenerative braking. The<br />
difference in force will then be applied via the<br />
vehicle’s conventional braking system.<br />
This system is especially effective in Hybrids and<br />
electric vehicles during ‘stop-start’ driving conditions.<br />
The more electricity that can be generated for free,<br />
the more power it has to run on the electric motor.<br />
Servicing braking systems on Hybrid vehicles<br />
requires specific knowledge, which is exactly<br />
what <strong>Blue</strong> <strong>Print</strong>’s Hybrid Technology courses<br />
will arm you with.<br />
