CHANGE TO LIGHT DIVISION PM PROGRAM
VEMA has made a change to its Light Division Preventative Maintenance Program for all vehicles that are equipped with diesel engines.
In order to be more aligned with the manufacturer’s schedule, we have increased the PM1 service from 6,000 kms to 12,000 kms. The PM1 service interval will remain at 8 months.
The PM1 is the only maintenance that has been changed on this program.
We are in the process of reviewing our Light Division Preventative Maintenance Program for gas engines, and will keep you updated with these changes.
