Affinia Group has announced that brake pads, calipers and rotors have been added to the Raybestos brakes catalog for 2013 Acura and Volvo models.

Affinia Group has announced that brake pads, calipers and rotors have been added to the Raybestos brakes catalog for the following 2013 import models:

2013 Volvo XC90

• P/N PGD979M (316mm Rotors), Front Brake Pads

• P/N PGD1412C (328mm Rotors), Front Brake Pads

• P/N PGD1003M (336mm Rotors), Front Brake Pads

• P/N PGD980M, Rear Brake Pads

 

2013 Acura ILX

• P/N PGD537C, Rear Brake Pads

• P/N 96706R, Rear Brake Rotor

• P/N FRC/RC11840, Calipers (Left Rear)

• P/N FRC/RC11839, Calipers (Right Rear)

 

Raybestos Professional Grade Ceramic brake pads use ceramic friction material that matches or improves on the OE ceramic formulation to provide maximum stopping power and safety, according to Affinia. These pads achieve strong and silent braking with low dusting, improved pedal feel and enhanced responsiveness, the company says.

According to Affinia, Raybestos Professional Grade OE-Matched brake pads are engineered to restore factory performance and use semi-metallic applications that match or improve upon OE. The premium attached shims and application-specific slots and chamfers ensure a smooth, quiet ride, the company says.

Raybestos Professional Grade rotors include many problem-solver applications and provide the highest level of dependability, safety and performance, says Affinia. The OE-based designs provide the most complete application-specific line on the market.

According to Affinia, Raybestos Professional Grade calipers deliver smooth operation and leak-free performance. They follow OE specifications and arrive with new bleeder screws, copper sealing washers and hardware. Critical areas are also pre-lubricated with high-temperature synthetic lubricant.

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

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.
