Thank you - sorry there wasn't so much context, I guess I just wasn't sure what else to add to clarify. Dusty, thanks for your comments.

Another instance of "� neuf" (since "Protection � neuf" is only used in the title): La pi�ce doit ne pas g�n�rer de bruits parasites audibles dans l�habitacle ou a l�ext�rieur du v�hicule, � neuf et � l'usage
Tony M Mar 29, 2005:
I think your second example is a red herring --- surely it just means 'tolerance when new'? What we need to know (probably!) is WHAT it is that needs protection? I suspect Mools may have the right idea, though it might be at component level instead...
Non-ProZ.com Mar 29, 2005:
Here is one other place where "� neuf" is used within the document: Il doit respecter les efforts du (trade term) pour une tol�rance � neuf de �25%.
Non-ProZ.com Mar 29, 2005:
OK, let me take a look and see what I can come up with...
Tony M Mar 29, 2005:
You really need to give us a bit more to go on... OK, it's a heading on its own --- but what is the surrounding text talking about? There must be some clues! I've come across this sort of thing concerning plastic bumper / grille parts...?

French term (edited): Protection � neuf
Selected

pre-delivery protection

Dusty's right Gad - a bit in the dark here!

I'm thinking it could be something to do with the coatings used to protect vehicles prior to delivery (applied to windscreen, etc.) - stuff that need to be removed before the car hits the showroom floor, for example.

Guesswork though I'm afraid....
Something went wrong...
