European Transmissions

Modern day transmissions in European vehicles can be very intimidating, but they don’t have to be. By gaining a basic understanding of how they work, common failures, and how to properly service them, the intimidation factor can be eased. This will open up a new opportunity for your shop to gain revenue in an area that may have been previously missed.

This training course will offer a look into 3 of the most common transmissions currently in use today from Audi/VW, BMW, and Mercedes Benz. Additionally, there will be a hands on training on the service procedure of the Mercedes 9g Tronic.

After this course, a technician will be able to:

• Identify a transmission in need of an oil change 
• Interpret signs of a transmission that will be harmed from an oil change
• Explain the properties and importance of the correct oils and filtering media
• Review the basics of transmission operation
• Describe the steps to changing the transmission oil in a DSG (Audi/VW) and a ZF 8HP (BMW)
• Complete a transmission service on a Mercedes 9g Tronic

As engineers have sought to make front wheel drive transaxles more efficient, they have used new concepts to help them reach the goals that have been set for more efficient drivelines and more forward gears. During this training, participants will first take a detailed look at the ZF 9HP to gain an understanding for how it is designed, and then take a deep dive into diagnostics. Participants will leave this training able to more effectively diagnose and repair ZF 9HP transaxles. 

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

• List internal components of the 9HP transmission  

• Identify the torque flow of all gears  

• Describe differences between pressure regulators and solenoids  

• Identify the different characteristics of pressure regulators  

• Differentiate between valve body types  

• Explain the shifting strategy of the ZF 9HP  

• Analyze transmission adaptation values and quick learn procedure  

• Explain an oil change service procedure for different manufacturers  

• Explain how to properly check the oil in the transmission  

• Describe the common failures of the ZF 9HP  

• Review the disassembly and assembly process of the transmission  

• Identify special tools needed for disassembly and assembly of the unit

ADAS Operation and Calibration 

As automotive manufacturers move towards making vehicles more and more autonomous, the amount of technology needed to accomplish these autonomous functions have been rapidly increasing. In this training we will cover the components used in Advance Driver Assist Systems (ADAS), how they function, and how to do several common calibrations on European vehicles.

• During this training, the participant can expect to learn:
• The levels of autonomous driving and what they are capable of doing
• Advantages of ADAS on a vehicle
• Sensors used to monitor the vehicle’s environment, and how they operate
• Effects of worn components on ADAS systems
• Common tools and equipment needed for ADAS calibration
• Types of front camera calibrations and their environmental prerequisites
• Volkswagen front radar calibration
• Audi/Volkswagen backup camera calibration
• Audi/Volkswagen 360 camera calibration
• BMW night vision calibration
