Changing timing belts in overhead camshaft engines

The training system on changing the timing belts in overhead camshaft engines provides an effective and efficient learning platform on the subject of automotive technology. Practical work, use of special tools in conjunction with an educational conception lead to outcome-oriented training. The experiment hardware comprises authentic vehicle components. The disadvantages of the lightweight construction methods used in motor vehicles are evened out by the training system itself. For instance, threads are implemented in solid steel to ensure a long service life. Students can plan the testing, maintenance and regular replacement of engine management components and then carry them out. As part of the maintenance procedure, the students will use the specified tools, machines, operational and auxiliary equipment and apply workplace safety and environmental protection regulations. They will test component modules of the engine management system for reusability. The hardware can be used for both theoretical and practical education.

Training contents:

  • General engine management
  • Interaction of components in an engine management system
  • Interpretation of set-point data for a vehicle
  • Use of set-point data for a vehicle at work
  • Development of practical skills
  • Use of tools and measuring instruments typical to a vehicle repair shop
  • Limitation of faults and problems by the following means
    • Function testing
    • Use of human senses
  • Measurement and checking of mechanical variables
