MTD August 2016 Products Continental VDO OEM electric water pump for BMWs As part of its growing OEM Direct Replacement Parts Program, Continental Com- mercial Vehicles & Aftermar- ket now offers an OE electric water pump with an integrated control unit for a wide range of BMW vehicle applications. The new VDO Electric Water Pump is the exact OEM part and identical in fit, form, and function. Designed for vehicle specific applica- tion, this new water pump delivers precise engine temperature control through variation of coolant volume flow. It operates independently from the main cooling circuit and combustion engine functions. Continental produces three variants and separately supplies the three mounting screws as required for the installation of each variant.

It is designed for use with R-134a, covering the vast majority of pas- senger vehicles on roads today. Robinair's Automatic Refrigerant Refill automatically maintains a sufficient supply of refrigerant in its internal tank for vehicle service and alerts technicians it's time to change the supply. The 34988NI will also automatically add oil if necessary. Using load cells to measure the amount of oil removed from the system, the machine automatically injects the correct amount of lubricant back into the system. The 34988NI features a large, easy to read color display and a printer as standard upgrades.

The non- polymer, oil-soluble formula is safe for A/C system components and recovery equipment and is compatible with all popular refrigerants, including R-1234yf (requires TP-9831CS adapter). Tracer Products says Cool Seal is a practical alternative to expensive parts replacement on older, high-mileage vehicles and can remain safely in the system to guard against future leaks.

Clore says the PL4020 combines fully automatic operation and the ability to properly charge a wide variety of lead acid battery types, including conventional, AGM, spiral wound, start-stop, deep cycle and marine batteries. Clore says each channel is fully independent, so a problem battery on one channel does not impact the rest of the batteries under charge. This also allows charging of any combination of battery types across the four channels, as the battery type is selected uniquely for each channel. CLORE AUTOMOTIVE INC.

Quik-Link: (800) 687-1557, ext. 19180 www.mtdquiklink.com/19180 Lisle offers a new seized fastener remover kit Lisle has introduced a seized fastener remover kit for use with a pneumatic impact tool to loosen rusted or seized fasteners. The company says the specially designed driver works with the included sockets or bit holder and 5/16-inch hex impact bits. The hex shape of the sockets and flats on the bit holder allows use of a turning wrench while impacting the fastener. A locking pin in the driver keeps the bit holder in place on the square drive for safe operation, according to Lisle. The bit holder can be removed from the driver by depressing the pin. LISLE CORP.
