really? what do they teach these days? in the 3 years at tafe i did i learnt to pull everything apart and fix it, even power window switches, but i think i learnt that one myself though.
what they teach these days?? if its stuffed how to look for a new one instead of fixing it??
i found that part of learning, pull apart, learn how it works so you can diagnose things better and to fix it.
A lot of emphasis on electronics, ignition systems, electronic management systems, in these classes you'll view the waveform of the signals and utilise live data.
In essence Auto leccys are being rolled into Light Vehicle
EFI, forced induction, dynometre, so how use and read a dyno but that's an optional class dyno. No carby class anymore that got dropped this year but it was an optional class. You still pull engines, diffs, auto and manual trans apart, but don't for alternators, P/S pumps or racks. You just go over operation, diagnosing and major service operations.
There's an a class for customer relations and parts so for ordering parts but that's optional. You have to do say 30 classes and there's 35 to pick but many are mandatory.
It isn't stuffed, it's weeping. Ultimately I've layed my filthy hands on an original unused VP Steering Manual Vol 5 I think it was so I'll document the reseal, once I do it. I may need to make a custom tool, to remove an retainer. It look almost like Dana 40 Spindal tool, 4 prongs coming off an socket at 12, 3, 6 and 9
