In this video produced by Garage Wire, leading UK automotive remanufacturer, Ivor Searle, explains the importance of quality in turbocharger remanufacturing and the benefits of professional DPF cleaning rather than replacement. Remanufacturing is a more sustainable and cost effective alternative to purchasing brand new parts. Ivor Searle is one of the most established and experienced remanufacturing companies in the UK, having started in 1946.

The editor of online automotive aftermarket website, Garage Wire, visited Ivor Searle during 2019 for an insight into the company's remanufacturing process. 

Remanufacturing an engine, gearbox, cylinder head or turbo back to OEM standard is a complex process that requires significant investment in skills and capital equipment, technical expertise and rigorous inspection procedures.
 
As a result, all Ivor Searle remanufactured engines are built to exceed the BS AU257:2002 Code of Practice. A remanufactured major unit has been returned to the manufacturer’s specification to provide levels of performance and reliability at least equivalent to the original.
 
The standard fully details how petrol and diesel engines and components should be inspected and checked against OEM tolerances.  BS AU257:2002 also dictates that key components, including piston assemblies, big and small end bearings, as well as bushes, gaskets, seals, timing chains and drive belts are completely renewed.
 
Important additional operations, such as crack testing and machining components, are undertaken to ensure original performance is achieved with reliability.  In addition to having all key clearances and tolerances inspected during assembly.  Ivor Searle also fully tests and inspects all engines as the final stage of the remanufacturing process.
 

The re-manufacturing process undertaken by Ivor Searle Ltd - it's what makes our engines special.
