Federal-Mogul has added coverage for several late-model foreign nameplate and domestic passenger vehicles to its line of Wagner ThermoQuiet brakes. Among the new products are what the company says are the aftermarket’s first replacement front brake pads for 2011 Hyundai Sonata models.

Wagner ThermoQuiet brake pads combine the exclusive benefits of two proprietary technologies for most applications: Federal-Mogul’s award-winning Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) one-piece brake pad and Wagner EDGE Laser-Shaped Friction designs. Combined with the company’s extensive portfolio of proprietary, application-specific formulations, these technologies deliver quieter performance, superior stopping power and longer pad life, the company says. Many ThermoQuiet brake pad sets now also include complete installation hardware kits for fast, complete repairs.

New Wagner ThermoQuiet brake products now available through North American parts distributors are:

# QC1444    2011 Hyundai Sonata ceramic pad set (front)
# QC1340     2008-2010 Mercedes C300 ceramic pad set (front)
# QC1451    2010-2011 Honda Accord ceramic pad set (rear)
# QC1447     2010 Hyundai Tucson ceramic pad set (front)
# MX915B      2007-2010 Mazda 3 semi-metallic pad set (front)
# MX1334A      2011 Ford F250, F350 semi-metallic pad set (rear)
# PAB924      2008-2009 Mitsubishi Lancer bonded brake shoes (rear)

“We continue to build on our foreign nameplate and domestic coverage leadership to help service providers bring the benefits of Wagner ThermoQuiet technologies to all vehicle owners,” said Ken Selinger, director of friction products, North America, Federal-Mogul. “One of the benefits of relying on the Wagner brand is having access to the first aftermarket brake pads for many of the most recent passenger applications.”

Long-Life Coolants Explained

Different types of coolants cover a range of applications from diesel to domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Each one is formulated to a specific manufacturer’s specifications to keep their engines at an optimal temperature. But, changes to the old one-size-fits-all formula has led to confusion for consumers and even some technicians.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
