The Level 3 units (petrol engine and braking systems) are covered in the companion Motor Vehicle Mechanics Level 3 guide.

Who is this book for?

• Level 4 trainees in vocational training centres, technical colleges and polytechnics
• RPL candidates — diesel fundis, matatu and lorry mechanics preparing for CDACC assessment
• Trainers who need ready-made explanations, worked examples, practical tasks and record sheets
• Working mechanics who want to understand common rail, alignment and modern chassis systems

What’s inside

Part 1: Getting Started – the Level 4 diesel and chassis mechanic’s job, CBET assessment and the mentoring tool, workshop safety (injection injuries, axle stands, spring compressors, split rims), waste handling, Level 4 tools, test equipment and workshop science.

Part 2: Maintain Vehicle Diesel Engine (Unit 1) – how the diesel engine works, diagnosing faults (smoke, hard starting, compression and leak-down tests, scan tool), dismantling and measuring, rebuilding, timing and tune-up, cooling and lubrication, and fuel systems from in-line pumps to common rail, injector testing and AdBlue.

Part 3: Maintain Vehicle Suspension and Steering System (Unit 2) – diagnosis and electronic systems, suspension types and service, manual, hydraulic and electric power steering, wheels and tyres (sidewall codes, puncture repair, balancing) and steering geometry and wheel alignment.

Part 4: Industrial Attachment and Assessment – the 320-hour attachment plan, logbook and portfolio, job cards and estimates, assessment day, mock assessments, CV and starting a garage business.
