Overview valve/seat problems <100.00 km

Based on practical experiences, Prins has compiled a list of vehicles in which problems with valves/valve seats (excessive wear) may occur at a a low mileage (<100,000 km). This list is updated regularly. To keep this list up-todate, Prins is asking their clients to report any valve/valve seat problems (service@prins.eu). A base dexpriences sur le march, Prins a tabli une liste des vhicules susceptibles davoir des problmes avec les soupapes/siges de soupape un kilomtrage rduit (<100.00 km) (usure excessive). Cette liste est mise jour rgulirement. Afin de tenir cette liste jour, Prins demande ses clients de bien vouloir signaler des problmes de soupapes/siges de soupape (service@prins.eu). Op basis van ervaringen uit de markt heeft Prins een lijst samengesteld waarin voertuigen staan vermeld die bij een geringe kilometerstand (<100.000 km) problemen met kleppen/klepzittingen kunnen krijgen (overmatige slijtage). Deze lijst wordt regelmatig bijgewerkt. Om deze lijst up-to-date te houden vraagt Prins zijn klanten om klep/klepzitting problemen te melden (service@prins.eu). Auf der Grundlage von Erfahrungen aus dem Markt hat Prins eine Liste mit Fahrzeugen zusammengestellt, die bei einer geringen Kilometerzahl (< 100.000 km) Probleme mit den Ventilen/Ventilsitzen bekommen knnen (bermiger Verschlei). Diese Liste wird regelmig aktualisiert. Damit diese Liste stndig aktuell ist, bittet Prins ihre Kunden, Ventil/Ventilsitz-Probleme zu melden (service@prins.eu).
