Engine diagnostics
* Computer diagnostics:
* Reading fault codes from the electronic control unit (ECU)
*Evaluation of engine operating parameters (speed, temperature, fuel pressure)
*Visual inspection:
* Check for oil, coolant, fuel leaks
* Assessing the condition of the timing belt/chain, spark plugs/glow plugs
* Listening to the engine:
* Detection of extraneous noise, knocking, vibrations
* Compression measurement:
* Assessing the condition of piston rings, valves and cylinder-piston group
* Endoscopic examination:
* Checking the internal surfaces of cylinders, pistons and valves
Automatic transmission diagnostics
* Computer diagnostics:
* Reading fault codes from the automatic transmission ECU
* Assessment of gearbox operating parameters (transmission fluid pressure, temperature, speed)
* Checking the level and condition of the transmission fluid:
* Assessment of color, odor and presence of foreign matter
* Test drive:
* Checking the smoothness of gear shifting, the presence of slipping, noise
*Hydraulic tests:
* Checking transmission fluid pressure in different operating modes
* Disassembly and troubleshooting:
* Assessing the condition of clutches, gears, bearings and other automatic transmission components
Chassis diagnostics
*Visual inspection:
* Checking the condition of the suspension (levers, springs, shock absorbers)
* Tire assessment (wear, damage)
*Checking suspension geometry:
* Measuring wheel alignment angles
* Test drive:
* Checking the vehicle’s handling, stability and comfort
*Checking shock absorbers:
* Assessing their performance using special equipment
*Checking the brake system:
* Assessment of braking efficiency, condition of brake pads and discs
