VSD 12 - Essential Diesel Knowledge

Technicians who have a good understanding of petrol injection can achieve the same level with diesel cars and light vans with this course, which provides an important introduction to diesel technology and contains the foundation knowledge required to attend further Bosch courses on specific diesel systems.
The well proven mix of classroom sessions to reinforce knowledge, and workshop practical tasks to develop skills, are combined to give technicians confidence in their work.
This course is not necessary for technicians who have already achieved competence in diesel system diagnostics.

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 VSTD 9 and VSG 5 can provide the knowledge and skills required.

On successful completion of VSD 12, 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 systems.
Perform tests to ensure the serviceability of components on these.
