DAYCO QR CODES

The Practical Use Of New Technology

Dayco is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of timing belts, tensioners and auxiliary belts, which it supplies as original equipment (OE) to vehicle manufacturers across the globe. With the development of its High Tenacity (HT) or ‘white belt’ Dayco has established itself as the premium OE timing belt supplier for the latest generation of high performance turbo diesel and petrol powered vehicles.

QR Codes

Dayco is also breaking new ground by utilising the latest technology on its packaging to ensure that technicians have the latest technical information at their fingertips. Therefore, every Dayco timing belt kit that is subject to a technical bulletin, which results in a change to the components or where a specific fitting problem has become known, now comes with a QR Code on the box. With this code, users of mobile devices with SMART technology can connect directly to the relevant technical bulletin for the application.

This innovation is a first for a timing belt manufacturer and means that vital information that is crucial to the correct installation of the components in the kit is readily available in multiple formats.

Dayco’s commitment to the aftermarket runs as deep as its dedication to quality, which means that there is no difference between the products it manufactures for OE or the aftermarket, so technicians can have complete confidence in the brand.

Alongside the quality of its products Dayco also recognises the importance of bringing its aftermarket products to market quickly in order that the independent sector is able to compete at every level of the repair trade. As a result it has introduced 90 new references over the last two months alone, which also puts the Dayco brand at the forefront in terms of the depth of its aftermarket product range.

Unique Applications

Few aftermarket suppliers can boast unique products in their portfolio, but Dayco’s timing belt kit (KTB764) for the C-Max/Fiesta VI/Focus II/Mondeo III is the aftermarket’s only genuine like-for-like replacement for the OE product, because it’s only this kit that includes the HT belt.

Dayco’s unique Long Life + 1 year warranty is free of charge to the factor, workshop and motorist, but extends the warranty on the belt in a Dayco HT belt kit from the existing two years, to a market leading three-year term.

MAM

Factors will be pleased to note that Dayco technical bulletins are now live on MAM Autocat. This also means that through the system, they can now link to product images, cross referencing and drive layouts, which all contributes to ensuring that the right application and installation are made.
