«Theory». This section contains a description of the arrangement of nodes, parts, mechanisms and their interaction. Here you will also find the subsection «Technical dictionary», which explains special terms.
«Service». Detailed instructions step by step presents all the necessary work. Subsection «Working symbols» characterizes the time spent on each action, the degree of labor intensity and the danger arising during the work for personnel and the environment.
«Repair». In the chapter of this subsection «Sequence of work» all work carried out is described in detail. Chapter «Practical Tips» will help you with the replacement of components and parts and in case of unclear questions.
Chapter «Repair» also contains a subsection «Possible malfunctions and ways to eliminate them», which helps to determine the cause and eliminate the most common malfunctions of components and systems.
The illustrations of the book give a visual representation of the design of components and assemblies and the operations performed for their maintenance and repair.
To explain the basic terms, definitions and brief characteristics of the purpose and functioning of nodes and systems, chapters are introduced in the book «Technical dictionary».
Below is a sample design «technical dictionary».
Note. Cylinder block. Inside it are the moving parts of the engine. For most engines, the cylinder block is made of gray cast iron. On the cylinder block, such units as a starter, generator, and ignition system components are also installed.
An example of the execution of tables with a list of exact sequential operations for maintenance and repair is given below as an example. It also indicates what to pay attention to when repairing.
Sequence of work
(30,000 km 2 years)
1. Remove the intake manifold. For diesel engines: remove the intake pipe. Disconnect wiring for both engines.
2. Unscrew the six bolts of the block head cover and carefully remove it. If the cap is firmly attached to the head, remove it by gently tapping it with your hand or the handle of a hammer.
3. To measure compression and check the serviceability of the valves of one of the cylinders, the intake and exhaust valves must be completely closed. To do this, turn the camshaft to a position where both cams of the first cylinder (in driving direction to the right) will be symmetrical in the upper position (at the same time it is necessary to follow the OT marking). This position corresponds to top dead center.
Subsection «Possible malfunctions» will help you identify breakdowns and defects on your car. An example of the design of tables of possible malfunctions of units, assemblies and systems, their causes and remedies is given below.
Subsection «Practical Tips» allows you to quickly and efficiently detect a malfunction and eliminate it. Sample table design «Practical Tips» given below.
