FAI unveils TCK fault finder chart

Being the market leader doesn’t just mean having the largest range, OE quality, great availability and comprehensive cataloguing. All of these aspects are very important but in addition; you have to provide the best service and aftercare.

FAI says its timing chain kit (TCK) programme is the best in the aftermarket with over 320 part numbers, covering a greater percentage of the European and Asian car parc than the competition.

The ethos of the TCK programme was to bring a complete solution to the aftermarket, so FAI takes great care to include all the parts needed to complete a TCK installation right down to the last stretch bolt.

TCK’s are a relatively new product to the aftermarket as most popular engine manufacturers have used timing belts to synchronise their engine for the past 40 years. For that reason many mechanics / technicians have had little or no experience of working on engines using timing chains.

It has become evident that this is a problem and so to help FAI customers and their customers, FAI has produced a Fault Finding Chart (600mm x 840mm) for TCK’s which demonstrates the most common faults that can arise when a TCK or a component of the TCK is failing in a simple question and answer format.

This simple and clear chart is ideal to be placed on the wall of a motor factor, engine reconditioner or a garage counter/customer area. This enables their customers to improve their understanding of TCK faults by knowing what to look or listen for and what action is required to cure them. The diagnostic poster in not just educational, but will also generate sales for the motor factor/reconditioner and parts/labour work for the garage.

FAI Area Sales Managers are in the process of presenting each FAI customer with copies of the poster, if you are not an FAI customer but interested in our TCK range, please contact your local FAI distributor.
