Overview

Essential Diesel Knowledge:VSD12

Who is this course for?
This course will enable technicians with a good knowledge of petrol injection to achieve the same level of expertise with diesel cars and light vans.

The course includes an important introduction to diesel technology as well as foundation knowledge which is a requirement to permit further Bosch courses on specific diesel systems. The combination of classroom sessions and workshop practical tasks, both reinforce knowledge and develop skills respectively in order to provide technicians with confidence in their work.

This course is not necessary for technicians who have already achieved competence in diesel system diagnostics.

Course Content
• Diesel engine design and combustion
• Fuel system circuits
• Diesel timing and quantity control
• Induction and exhaust components
• Typical diesel system sensors and actuators
• Emission control device

Prerequisites
• We recommend that delegates are familiar with the use of a typical diagnostic tester and an oscilloscope. Previous experience with gasoline injection systems is also a distinct advantage. The Bosch courses VSTD9 and VSG5 can provide the knowledge and skills required
• Please see the Bosch Diagnostic Technician Flowchart for more information on the recommended pathway

Attainment
Upon successful completion of VSD12, delegates will be able to:
• Identify components of typical electronic diesel control systems and state their function
• Carry out fault diagnosis and test procedures on typical electronic diesel control systems
• Perform tests to ensure the serviceability of components on these diesel systems
