Today people just want to put the car in drive, and it goes. Most customers do not know what is making that vehicle move just that it does. Weather driven by automatic, manual automatic, CVT or the like, they just want it to work. Technician on the other hand know all too well what it takes to do just that. Then there is the tried-and-true manual transmission making a comeback in the market. With this being the case how is a technician to know where to start to properly diagnose and repair all these different types of issues. Well, ZF has you covered. We will spend the day covering just that. Be it a refresher of older systems or covering the latest technology to drivetrains. This is the class for you.

Time: 8 hours

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

• Describe the operation of mechanical clutch systems

• Describe the calculation of transferrable torque

• Understand the difference between pull and push clutch types

• Identify the different release systems

• Describe common failures in the clutch system

• Diagnose gearbox failures which are related to mechanical clutch systems

• Describe proper installation of clutch systems

• Explain the installation of self-adjusting clutch

• Understand operation of dual mass flywheel

• Identify common dual mass flywheel failures

• Identify read out and interpret diesel engine measurement values

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 measurements
• Complex 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.
