Tech Training

If you would like to learn more about how your car works, and perhaps even be able to get it going again after a breakdown then have a think about attending a customised car maintenance course offered to the VW Club by Kangan Institute.

 

 

The course can be based on either 8, 2 hour sessions (from 6.00 – 8.00pm one evening a week), or 16 hours spread over two or three Saturdays. The venue would be the Coburg or Richmond campus dependant on numbers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The cost of the course is $3,605.80 catering for 12-14 students. If we have 14 students the cost per student would be $258. If the course is held on Saturdays there will be an extra charge to cover weekend rates

The topics covered will be:

Session 1         Fault diagnosis – why does an engine stop or run badly - spark or fuel problems

Session 2 / 3    Cleaning, replacing, and adjusting spark plugs
Battery care
Distributor
Cleaning, replacing, and adjusting points
Valve adjustment
Engine timing

Session 4         Clutch adjustment
Fan belt replacement and adjustment

Session 5         Carburettor maintenance and adjustment

Session 6         Replacing and adjusting brakes

Session 7         Replacing and servicing wheel bearings

Session 8         Replacing and servicing CV joints

The training will be classroom style and we can provide a VW for use in any practical sessions. The course training notes will be a Haynes Manual, covering the vehicle of your choice.

If you are interested in completing the course either ring me on 0418 357416 or email farlowj@internex.net.au. Please let me know the session preference, either weeknights over 8 weeks or spread over 2-3 Saturdays and the preferred vehicle for the Haynes Manual.
