» DRUM BRAKE
Drum brakes are becoming ever rarer in cars today. Drum brakes essentially consist of the brake drum, brake shoes, wheel cylinder, armature plate, adjusting mechanism, return springs and various fasteners. During braking, the wheel cylinder forces the fixed brake shoes apart and presses them onto the brake drum, which decelerates the wheel as a result. Drum brakes have decisive advantages over a disc-brake system. As it is a closed system, it is protected against environmental influences. It is also easier to incorporate a park brake into the system. The system can withstand longer downtimes, has a long service life and is cost-effective.
» BRAKE HYDRAULICS
In the brake hydraulics, the brake power is transferred via the brake fluid from the brake master cylinder to the individual wheel brake cylinders for the disc or drum brakes. When the engine is running, the pressure in the main brake cylinder created by pressing the brake pedal is augmented significantly by vacuum, so that greater deceleration can be achieved with a small amount of force on the pedal. As the pressure in the closed system is constant, the brake forces are automatically distributed to the wheel brakes evenly and synchronously. Hydraulic brakes have low friction losses when transferring forces and can be metered very easily.
Always fresh, little effort required: brake cylinders from the Jakoparts range for Asian vehicle models offer quality-controlled safety and reliability for both you and your customers.
» PARK BRAKE
For a fast get-away: with complete solutions from the Jakoparts range, your retrofitting business for Asian vehicles won’t be held back by a pit stop. Punctuality guaranteed for all standard models.
The park brake performs the important function of providing extra security to a parking vehicle, or acting as an auxiliary brake in the event of the service brake failing. It works by permanently locking the vehicle’s wheels. It must be independent from the service brake and act upon all wheels on the rear axle. The park brake is also known as the cable brake, as it is operated as such using a hand or foot lever. Perfectly fitting replacement brakes: an example from practice

How long is your braking distance?
The fact that the stopping distance during braking is made up of the reaction distance and the actual stopping distance is a classic of driving school knowledge. But how is the stopping distance calculated? Our video has the answer for you!

A new EU-wide repair clause will soon be here!
It appears that the design protection for visible vehicle spare parts integrated into the body will soon become a bit more liberal. At least, the EU Minister Council adopted the proposal from the European Commission for the revision of the Design Directive and the Design Regulation, thus laying an important foundation. The proposal stipulates that there should be a uniform repair clause throughout the EU. In concrete terms, the focus is on spare parts that help to restore the original appearance of the car/vehicle during a repair. Until now, this only seemed possible with genuine spare parts.
This could apply to parts such as headlights and rear lights, for example. But there is also the windscreen, outside mirror, bonnet and fender.
There must also be a price competition for visible spare parts
Until now, fair competition was difficult, as car manufacturers could take legal action against imitations. So far, there have hardly been any rules on this issue, only a repair clause under national design law (from 2020). But only for designs that are already registered at this point in time. Owners of older car models are therefore still at a disadvantage. And this applies for designs that are up to 25 years old, as the German repair clause provides very long protection here.
An alternative to the original has therefore been practically impossible so far. After all, the spare part to be replaced during a repair must match again, i.e. the shape and dimensions have to be identical. There is not much room for other designs.
A transition period of eight years is planned for the new EU-wide repair clause. This applies to EU countries that previously had no repair clause. However, if designs are registered for the entire European Union and not for individual member states under their national law, the Repair clause shall apply without a transition period.
Conclusion
For the future, this means that even repairs to the body do not always have to be carried out using original spare parts that may be more expensive. These spare parts can also lead to fair competition and reduce repair costs. A user-friendly solution is therefore in sight! Only owners of older models in Germany have to stay patient for a while, as the new EU-wide regulation for designs before December 2020 will only take effect in eight years due to the existing repair clause.
Changing gearbox oil and gearbox oil filters: Why is this necessary?
When changing fluids, most drivers don't necessarily think about the gearbox oil. It is important to change the gearbox oil at regular intervals to prevent damage to the gearbox. However, it does not have to be replaced as frequently as the engine oil. But gearbox oil also becomes contaminated over time and should be changed after a mileage of 60,000 to 100,000 kilometres or alternatively after 6 to 8 years depending on the vehicle. Even if there is often no corresponding recommendation from the manufacturer for this, it is advisable to replace the gearbox oil at this age/mileage. The gearbox oil filter should also always be replaced during this process. This is because it can only absorb a limited amount of material abrasion.
The task of the gearbox oil is to lubricate the gearbox wheels so that they mesh together precisely and wear as little as possible. It also absorbs microscopically small abrasion particles and transports them to the corresponding filter. However, over time, it can become increasingly contaminated and no longer fully perform its task. At this point at the latest, it is time to change the gearbox oil and the gearbox oil filter.
How can we tell if the gearbox oil needs replacing?
Contaminated gearbox oil can also be noticeable in running behaviour, for example by the fact that the gears can no longer be inserted easily or a rattle can be heard when switching. Speed fluctuations may also occur. In the case of automatic gearboxes, these signals are often barely noticeable to start with, but become clearer over time. This can also result in jerking. A leaking gearbox is also usually noticeable. Oil spots can often be seen under the gearbox.
Function of the gearbox oil filter
Hydraulic filters, also known as gearbox oil filters, are required in every hydraulic system. The task of the hydraulic filter is to clean the oil required to operate the hydraulic components in the vehicle. To do this, the liquid is fed through the filter and the filter element separates all particles from a defined size. Without the hydraulic filter, the particles would accumulate in certain places and lead to malfunctions. The filter has a limited service life and must therefore be replaced at regular intervals. Each vehicle manufacturer specifies how often a hydraulic filter has to be replaced. These specifications must be complied with at all times to prevent damage.
Gearbox oil change versus gearbox oil flushing
A distinction should be made between a simple gearbox oil change and gearbox oil flushing. The latter is particularly recommended for automatic transmissions, but is also much more expensive. The difference is that when changing gearbox oil, the oil is simply drained using the drain plug and then new oil added. In the case of gearbox oil flushing, on the other hand, the old oil is pumped out of the gearbox with pressure and new gearbox oil is then flushed through the gearbox with cleaning additives while the engine is running. New gearbox oil is then filled in. The advantage of the gearbox flushing is that the used oil and abrasion are removed much more effectively.
Our gearbox oil filters/hydraulic filters for automatic gearboxes
In our extensive filter range, you will find various versions of gearbox oil filters/hydraulic filters. So we offer the right spare part for a wide range of vehicles with automatic gearboxes! Our filters also meet the highest quality standards. They filter abrasion from the gearbox oil and protect against wear. We currently offer more than 30 hydraulic filters. The range is being continuously expanded.
Conclusion
Changing gearbox oil and gearbox oil filters should never be neglected. In the best case, it prevents gearbox damage, which would ultimately be much more expensive. Your trusted workshop will be happy to advise you on this topic as well.
Electric car repairs: An expensive matter, especially in the event of accidents
Recent studies show that the repair costs for electric vehicles are significantly higher than for combustion engine vehicles. A study by the German Insurance Association (GDV) concluded that electric vehicles are one third more expensive to repair than comparable combustion engine vehicles. This can quickly put the lower operating costs of electric vehicles into perspective. This is a bitter message for all drivers of electric vehicles, as not only do they have to accept higher insurance contributions, but their vehicle can also turn into a complete write-off faster from a financial perspective.
According to the findings of the vehicle insurers, there are many reasons why the repair costs of electric vehicles are so high.
Why is repairing electric vehicles more expensive?
The main reasons are the more difficult diagnosis, the greater effort required for replacing the drive batteries and the high-performance electronics in the vehicles. The longer downtimes are also a factor. Further reasons include higher hourly rates and often also uncertainties associated with damaged electric cars, such as quarantine storage. All of this also leads to significantly higher costs in the event of an accident. The battery poses a particular risk. Replacing the battery usually involves significant effort and even slightly damaged batteries can increase the risk of fire. After an accident, it is therefore usually advisable to replace the battery completely to rule out this risk. The battery is also the most expensive component in an electric vehicle and replacement can easily cost into the four to five-digit figures.
The car body as a weak point
The body of electric vehicles also often looks different than we are used to with combustion engine vehicles. The rear is often made entirely of cast aluminium. The problem: Even small deformations can lead to cracks. This means that these components also have to be examined in detail after an accident. This is also very time-consuming and costly. Under certain circumstances, the entire rear vehicle may need to be replaced.
What can manufacturers and workshops do to combat high repair costs?
To combat this issue, the German Insurance Industry Association (GDV) is calling on manufacturers to protect the batteries from damage in the event of an accident as early as the vehicle design phase. Clear diagnostic data is also helpful for better assessing the condition of a battery. Economical and ecologically sustainable repair and replacement instructions would also be helpful. Clear guidelines for dealing with accidents could also help. The emergency workers at the accident scene, such as towing companies and fire brigades, also need appropriate knowledge. Workshops could, in turn, attempt to increase instruction and further training for repair work on electric vehicles. The repair process also needs to be speeded up. This means that faster battery testing should be possible, while ruling out the risk of fire and with shorter quarantine times.
Sensors can also make repairs more expensive
Admittedly, this is not just an electric car problem, but also applies to combustion engine vehicles. However, the large number of sensors for assistance systems in modern vehicles also results in higher repair costs. The sensors themselves are often expensive and make repairs more difficult. On the other hand, the repair process often requires calibration or readjustment to ensure optimal function after the repair.
