ELTA helps Independents to ‘SEE SENSE’ with PRO brand launch
ELTA Automotive Ltd, the Midlands-based electrical component specialist and the company behind the Lucas Electrical brand, has announced the introduction of an exciting new range of vision and engine management products under the VISIONPRO and VXPRO brands.
ELTA PRO Challenge media pool tournament a roaring success
Accompanying the press launch of its VISIONPRO and VXPRO product ranges, ELTA Automotive held an on-site pool tournament for the visiting journalists, which saw several inter-company battles and the pairing up of former colleagues.
Representatives from the majority of the mainstream UK-based trade media attended the event and following the launch presentation made by Managing Director, Ian Hallam, the first-round matches got underway, with Auto Repair Focus’ Phil Curry taking on PMM Online editor, Daniel Cross in the opening encounter.
ELTA ASSIST – PRO Brand Support
Despite the quality of the product or the depth of the range, without the correct support, a brand will never fulfil its potential.
ELTA is therefore very aware of the need to underpin its products with a comprehensive support structure that allows it to develop the overall product offering and help customers build their sales.
SEE SENSE: Introducing ELTA VISIONPRO and VXPRO
During Automechanika Birmingham in June, ELTA Automotive Ltd will be marking its 25th anniversary by showcasing the two product lines (vision and electrical) it has introduced under its new ELTA PRO brands.
ELTA Share Views on the Automotive Aftermarket
During the last five years in particular, there has been a significant shift in the structure of the UK aftermarket. Buying groups have become more powerful and the ‘big three’ – GPC (Alliance Automotive Group), LKQ (ECP) and Uni-Select (Parts Alliance) – now dominate the market.
Although ELTA is proud to supply each of these groups, their buying power is naturally huge and enables them to offer their members prominent, original equipment (OE) brands, at the lowest possible prices. As a result, independent motor factors can no longer compete on price with these OE brands.
ELTA reinforce the importance of resetting the ECU after replacing components
After replacing engine management components, many vehicles will require a reset of the parameters to tell the ECU that a new part has been fitted. Without this, the ECU will believe that the engine is still running with faulty sensors and will default back to data already received before the replacement. This causes the vehicle to run poorly, normally with the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on and the fault code still logged in memory.
Reset parameters as follows
- Firstly, reset the vehicle using diagnostic tools.
- If the fault code persists, perform a manual reset according to the manufacturers instructions, commonly as follows:
- Carry out 3 drive cycles:
A. Turn ignition on, turn ignition off
B. Turn ignition on, turn ignition off
C. Start the engine. - An extended road test, normally around 20 miles is then required to provide the ECU with enough data to allow the sensor to function correctly.
