Overview

PTU Repairs Ltd is a joint colloboration specialising in the repair and rebuilding of Power Transfer Units (PTUs) for supercars and prestige vehicles

Owners Martin (Parkes Performance) and Simon (SSautotech) have come together to solve a common problem seen in these high-performance vehicles.

Over the past three years, they have poured resources into research, modifications, and custom tooling, enabling them to rebuild PTUs to impeccable standards.

Their innovative approach to PTU repairs has addressed critical issues in four-wheel drive systems, earning them a reputation as industry leaders.

Rozone’s Business Development Manager, Andy Parkes, worked closely with PTU Repair Ltd to design a tailored cleaning solution to meet their unique requirements.

The Challenge

PTU failures are a common issue in high performing vehicles, typically caused by hydraulic oil mixing with the gearbox, leading to:

  • Four-wheel drive system failures
  • Warning lights on the dashboard
  • Loss of hydraulic power to gearbox selectors

While manufacturers often recommend costly replacements, PTU Repair Ltd were seeking a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative to offer the high performance vehicle sector. Despite investing heavily in R&D to develop a robust PTU repair process, achieving the necessary level of precision cleanliness remained a challenge.

Recognizing the potential benefits Rozone could offer, Business Development Manager, Andy Parkes invited Martin and Simon to a demonstration at Rozone, showcasing how our cleaning solutions could enhance the repair process.
