Workshops encouraged to benefit from filter and wiper blade opportunities
Filters maximise the longevity of vehicles.

Filters are one of the components that must be replaced in line with the manufacturers schedule, according to First Line who say they are vital in maximising the longevity and efficiency of both the vehicle and the comfort of its occupants.

These components have several major elements to ensure that they function correctly and in the case of oil, air and fuel filters, will preserve the life of the engine.

In keeping with Borg & Beck policy, the entire range is manufactured to its exacting standards and undergoes rigorous product testing to ensure the consistency of performance that is expected with a premium product.

In a press releases, a First Line spokesperson said: “During any service, all four filters should be considered and replaced if necessary.

“During the spring/summer months, when the pollen count is high, it is particularly important to ensure that the cabin filter is functioning properly, especially as it would have already worked hard over the winter.

“Therefore, the added pressure of filtering out the harmful particles and contaminants could lead to decreased heater/air conditioning performance, unpleasant odours and safety issues, as the windows may not be able to clear properly, especially when raining, affecting the vision of the driver.

“A sure sign that the cabin filter needs replacing is if the windscreen begins to mist or takes a long time to de-mist.

“To prevent these potential health and safety issues from occurring, technicians should be recommending filter replacement and, irrespective of these known problems, cabin filters should be automatically replaced every 12-months.”

Borg & Beck

First Line Ltd, under the Borg & Beck brand, has continued to add to its extensive product portfolio and in the last 12 months alone, the company introduced more than 300 new-to-range filter references.

Highlights include the cabin filter (BFC1252) to fit multiple VAG applications such as the A3, TT, Leon, Octavia, Golf, Passat and many more, the air filter (BFA2516) to fit PSA Berlingo, C3, C4, 2008, 208, 308, 3008 and Partner, and the oil filter (BFO4245) to fit Vauxhall Astra, Insignia, Meriva, Mokka and Zafira Tourer.

The spokesperson added: “Whilst the car is in the workshop, technicians should take the opportunity to check the condition of the wiper blades.

“Being able to see clearly in all conditions is crucial, therefore it is strongly recommended that the wiper blades are replaced annually.”

To help technicians relay the message to their customers, First Line Ltd has designed a poster to be placed in work shop reception areas – email [email protected] to request yours.
