As more and more vehicle manufacturers choose ZF for their transmissions, shops can benefit and even potentially add simple services to their offerings by understanding the basics of the ZF 8HP transmission and how to diagnose common problems encountered in the repair shop and complaints from customers.  This in-depth class will take a deep dive into the function of the ZF 8HP transmission, and the best overhaul practices. The class will feature a classroom session, then participants will have the opportunity to practice what they have learned on a ZF 8HP transmission under the supervision of a ZF technical trainer.

After completing this training, the participant will be able to: 

· List internal components

· Explain the torque flow through the gears

· Describe the shift strategy

· Identify common failures

· Explain the oil change procedure

· Explain how to properly check the oil level

· Identify the differences between pressure regulators and solenoids

· Analyze transmission adaptation values and relearn procedures

· Review the disassembly and assembly process of the transmission

Advanced AC training class with focus on the impact of new components and chemicals. The change of refrigerant has changed the way we look at AC systems as well as how it should be diagnosed. The AC systems must perform better smaller components as well as increased complexity to make them as efficient as possible. This all leads up to the new Heat Pump systems on Electric Vehicles. The new components that we see in the normal AC systems are crucial in a Heat Pump system to make it operate efficiently. Best practices are changing nd if you do not change with it, it will cause massive failures in the AC/ Heat Pump system and cost the workshop a lot of money in warranty repairs.

• Diagnostics through pressure/ temperature ratio to make a more accurate diagnose.
• Trouble shooting on Electronic Controlled Valve compressor
• How to diagnose a micro-macro parallel condenser with the use of temperature and heat transfer measurementsComplex run-though of pressure settings and readings.
• Can I trust the pressure reading on my AC machine if it is a Variable displacement compressor system?
• How does the new electronic expansion valves work and how do you test them?
• What is the benefit of an IHX (Internal Heat Exchanger) compared to an older AC system without?
• Diagnosis of oil and how to check contamination.
• How to service an AC system with a new refrigerant such as R1234yf, R456A, etc.
• Does the products on an R134a system work with the new refrigerants?
• Will you keep the warranty if you use a new refrigerant on a R134a component?
• Groundbreaking new flushing procedure without removing any components from the AC system. Full flush and oil drain.FIRST TIME IN THE US
• Groundbreaking new method to replace ALL the oil without removing any components. FIRST TIME IN THE US.
