Vehicle Repairs. We've Got What It Takes.
When we get behind the wheel and turn the key, or push the start button, we expect the engine to quickly fire into life so we can set off on our journey. However, internal combustion engines cannot start themselves, the process requires external energy.
The starting procedure revolves around an electric motor with a meshed drive engaging with the flywheel to turn the engine. This combination must be powerful enough to overcome resistance from friction and compression, converting the electrical energy stored in the vehicle’s battery into kinetic energy to start the engine.
While the starter motor uses the power stored in the battery to start the engine, the alternator must constantly supply stable electrical current to every component in the vehicle that requires it; along with the vital task of ensuring the battery is always fully charged so that the starter motor can do its job when called upon.
The alternator is powered by the engine’s crankshaft via a drive belt. When the engine is running, the drive belt rotates the alternator, which in turn converts the kinetic energy generated into electrical current.
Quality by Conviction
Every starter motor and alternator that febi offers is manufactured in accordance with OE specifications, guaranteeing performance, reliability, and that all relevant European regulations are adhered to. As is the case with OE, febi can supply its alternators with or without the appropriate pulley as required.
All febi starter motors and alternators are completely new throughout, with no old core surcharge or use of remanufactured parts. Not only does this ensure high product quality in keeping with febi’s promise to only supply replacement parts that match OE quality standards, with no need for the workshop to return the original component for reimbursement, repairs can be more time efficient and - without the need for additional logistics - more environmentally friendly.
Strict quality standards
Due to the ever-increasing complexity of the electronics fitted to modern vehicles, the quality of each individual component is vitally important. If one fails, it is often the case that a complete system will be compromised. This is why febi relies on stringent quality control with all products in its electrics range.
