Majority of Vehicles which has Drum integrated with the Disc brakes, when
Handbrakes are applied in such vehicles, Drum brakes shoes functions as a
Handbrakes and engages.
To Replace the Rear Brake pads in Such Modern, High Eng and Vehicles equipped
with such Sophisticated Rear Brakes , the Piston in the callipers Cant be simply
pushed back using Vice, instead Piston needs to be revolved also in order Push or
wind it back.
Earlier Six sided winding Dice or Cube was utilised to wind back the piston.
For Replacement of Such Brake Pads, the Kit is used.
These Engine Hosts aid in Removal and Remounting of Engine, and Transmission
system from and to the Vehicle.
They are utilised to Mobilize the Engine, and Transmission System
During Engine Overhaul once engine is suspended from the Hoist, Engine oil pan, and
such subassemblies can be removed.
This system Power flushes the System Using Backwards Pumping of the Coolant,
without Requirement of Running Engine
Using its suction hose connected to the Pump, It can Extract the used Coolant to the
empty can for Used coolant, once its been switched to Remove from Vehicle Mode.
Once Removed, After filling the New coolant to the New Coolant Can, and Upon
switching to the Return to the Vehicle Mode, Entire Content of coolant will be
transferred to the Cooling System very quickly.
It is Specially Used when Oil Cooler Malfunctions and Deteriorated due to Decay and
leads to Oil and coolant Mix up. To ensure thorough cleaning and Flushing of the
System.
This Equipment is Used to Turn the Disc Brake Disc Surface, and to remove the
Irregularity on the disc.
It is necessary to Turn the Surface of the Disc Brakes Disc, when Brake pads are
being replaced or when Steering and Vehicle wobbles when Brakes are applied
This Equipment turns it extremely easy to Turn the Brake Disc without Getting into
the hassle to Remove the Brake Discs and to send it to the Lathe.
Without Any Disassembly, only after removing the Wheel, the Equipment can be set
on Vehicle using suitable Hub attachment and it takes merely 12 Minutes to turn a
single Brake Disc using suitable Depth of Cut.
This System, can be turned on and off using a Remote Switch to clean to Under Body
of the Vehicle
Especially During Monsoon, Before Bringing in the Vehicle to the Workshop Floor,
this system thoroughly cleans the Under body of the Vehicle to Prevent Workshop
floor to be soiled.
Also Before Conducting any Suspension Related Job or any Under Body Job, Vehicle
is Being Treated under this system and then Brought to the workshop floor.
After Mounting the engine on the Vehicle, Engine was started without assembling exhaust
muffler, But Engine sound was not Normal according to the experienced technician, and
Informed that He was feeling as of engine was running Dry, to Check it, engine was turned
off and valve cover was opened to see whether the oil is being pumped or Not. But when
Valve cover was opened No Oil was seen on cam and oil was not being Pumped, hence
Removal of engine was Necessary to find the exact problem, Removed engine from engine
using Hoist.
When the engine was Hung in the Hoist, after opening the Oil sump, and chain cover, Oil
pump sprocket could be seen, Oil pump sprocket was Intact and was functioning as it should,
but Oil was not being pumped hence, Oil Pump was removed and checked whether its
pumping or not, Oil pump inlet was submerged in the oil and it was given drive through the
Pneumatic gun, and it could be seen that the sufficient amount of oil was being pumped.Now
there was only one possibility left and that was Oil passage might have been blocked
somewhere, which prevented flow of oil, to find it out Engine head was removed, and then
Using Pneumatic Jet, air was Blown in oil passage, and after a while suddenly oil was
forcefully popped out of another end, with lots of sludge and lots of Gummy substance, after
cleaning the oil passage, oil pump was installed again and given drive through Pneumatic
gun, and oil could be seen coming out from all the passages, with confirmed functionality
Engine was reassembled fixed all hoses and Wiring Harness, and Mounted engine on the
Vehicle and engine was started, and opened Valve cover to observe whether oil is being
pumped or not, Sufficient Oil was being Pumped, and Problem was resolved.

PISTON RINGS AND NEW GASKET KEPT ON CYLINDER TWO VALVE CONFIGURATION
BLOCK
Removed Valve Cover and Engine head, Clearance was observed between piston rings and
cylinder walls, To overhaul the engine New Piston Rings, Cylinder Reconditioning, New
head Gasket, Diesel Pump overhaul, Exhaust system Overhaul was Required, Upon
Receiving the Spares and Engine Block with New Liners, Engine Overhaul was Done and
Engine was Tested after mounting on the Vehicle.
Figure 5.10 REMOVED INJECTORS Figure 5.11 REMOVED INJECTORS AND VALVE
COVER
Injector nozzle stays outside the Cylinder so that Spray Pattern and hence the problem can be
Observed.
Upon Starting the Engine, Almost No Diesel could be seen from the nozzle and Diesel was
being released from the Metal Pipe connecting Common rail to the Injector.
Hence Replacement of Injector Was Necessary because Diesel was Diverted to the Return
Line and was released, as The Nozzle was Clogged, Entire diesel was Being Sprayed in the
Engine room instead of Inside the Engine cylinder, thus Installed New Bosch Injector and
Fed the Injector ID code to the ECU using Bosch OBD and Programming Tool, after that
checked Engine. And the Problem was Resolved, Engine Room was Washed and Cleaned.
Visually Observed and Checked the Fuel Quality, and also compared it with Standard
reference fuel, Checked the Fuel Filter, but all reports were negative, This led to the
conclusion that the problem might be triggered by the Injector related malfunction, to check
the same Valve cover was Removed and all four Injectors were removed from the engine and
were set outside the cylinder and Engine was given a start to observe the spray pattern of
Injectors.
It was observed that all four injectors displayed very poor diesel spray pattern and diesel
dripping from the nib, this led to the conclusion that the problems were triggered by the
clogged injector nozzles, each cylinder has unique Injector with their unique Numbers, the
sequence must be maintained in order to keep the engine running, hence Injector Numbers
were Written down, and sent Injectors to Bosch Authorized service centre, and those Injectors
were serviced and cross checked with the Service centre for its spray pattern, after the
Reconditioning and serviced Injectors were Installed in the car, and the Car was checked in
Road by Trial, and the Problem was resolved.
the conclusion that the Leakage Might be occurring from Diesel Return Fuel Line, To check
that Valve cover was Needed to be removed.
After valve cover removal the problem was revealed,
as it could be seen that Diesel was getting accumulated and
could be seen as puddle, and was finding its way out from oil
overflow drain. Close observation of return hose revealed
that the hose connecting 2nd to3rd cylinder, and 3rd to 4th
cylinders were ruptured, and were a bit bulged and
deterioration was seemed to be triggered by the heat, as no
mechanical damage signs were visible.
Customer refused to replace the return line assembly,
and insisted to restore and repair, the same. After that
damaged hoses
were removed from
Figure 5.15 BULGED AND the entire assembly
RUPTURED RETURN LINE and replaced the
same with new similar pipes (Hoses) which were
suitable for the intended use as a fuel line. And
restored the Assembly and reinstalled it. And before
closing the valve cover, refuelled the vehicle and
kept vehicle with engine running for 6 hours to Figure 5.16 REPLACED RETURN LINE
verify rectification of problem, and upon
confirmation that valve cover was installed vehicle was handed over to the customer.
Figure 5.22 INSTALLED After extensive test drive, vehicle performance was
TURBOCHARGER satisfactory and was handed over to the customer.
After replacing the Oil Cooler assembly oil circuit was flushed using ordinary mineral based
oil for a couple of hours. Drained the oil and again Filled Synthetic oil. And the Problem was
resolved.
Incompressible, after the water entered through the inlet manifold, after the valve closure
during pistons travel towards TDC might have tried to compress the water, but waters
incompressibility didnt let the force of cranking to be absorbed and the force was released by
buckling the connecting rod.
Engine was Removed from the vehicle and Hung on the Hoist. Water was also observed in
exhaust system. Gearbox was Separated from the
engine, and then Engine Head was Removed First,
and checked it for any possible damage to the valves,
but valves seemed perfect. Also water was observed in
the Inlet manifold, and water could be seen in all four
cylinders, to check the extent of damage, First of all
the Engine crank pulley was Rotated using spanner.
Cylinder 1 and 4 were reciprocating perfectly without
any difference in their TDC, but Piston 2 wasnt
Moving at all, and 3rd Piston was Reciprocating but
there was difference in height between cylinder 4 th
TDC and Cylinder 3rds TDC, which meant that
Connecting rod of
Cylinder 2nd was Figure 5.33 CONNECTING ROD STRIKING

predicted, upon opening the crankshaft and connecting rods, 2 nd cylinder connecting rod was
Broken and 3rd cylinders connecting rod was buckled badly. And Both needed replacement,
Also because of several starting attempts by the customer, Buckled connecting rods bent
edge and broken connecting rods free end struck cylinder and block several times which
ultimately damaged them, and Restoration and Reconditioning of the Engine block was
necessary, and sent for the restoration, and new Cylinder liners were installed.
Used two new connecting Rods, Old Pistons with new Piston rings and reconditioned Engine
block, Reconditioned and serviced engine head, whole engine was assembled again, and after
topping up all the essential fluids, engine was mounted on the vehicle and was started, and
engine was kept running for two days to trace any possible problem and then the vehicle was
delivered.
converter and gearbox couldnt be separated, as Bolts fastening torque converter and gearbox
were not accessible from the slots, to access these fasteners Crank pulley must be revolved to
Align the fasteners to the slots from where they could be opened.
Hence the whole engine along with the Front Cross member, Steering rack, torque converter,
and Gearbox needed to be removed as a one unit without separation, Removed all the
connectors and Hoses from the Engine which are connected to the body. After placing
suitable supports properly beneath the engine, vehicle was Lifted using the Lift and engine
was separated from the Body.
Engine Hoist was used to hung the engine and two separate
supports were used to support the gearbox assembly. After
removing entire wiring harness carefully and after removing
all the hoses and all the engine auxiliaries, Engine oil sump
was removed and from the sump a Piece of Broken Cylinder
block liner was observed. After that Cylinder head was
Removed, Upon opening the cylinder head accumulated
water and rust could be seen.
Measured the Piston positions, as the firing order is 1432,
Cylinder 1st and 4th were in intermediate position and using
depth gauge, there was no height difference in piston 1st and
4th, upon measuring cylinder 2nd and 3rds height difference
in intermediate Position using depth gauge, It could be seen
that the Piston in cylinder 3rd was Lower than the Piston in
the cylinder 2nd Hence came to the conclusion that

days, and then Delivered to the Customer.
tolerances, and any foreign particle can be catastrophic in terms of pump Life, hence Pump
replacement was required as Repairing or restoring the Diesel Injection Pump was not
possible, Upon Opening and inspecting both Common rails and pipes connecting common
rails and Injectors were also filled with particles and Amery, due to all these, Injectors were
clogged completely, yet to take a last chance these Injectors were sent to Bosch Authorised
injector service centre, but according to Service centre authorized person informed that these
Injectors will not work, neither they can be repaired, Replacement was the only Option,
Diesel Pump for common rails could not be repaired or restored as well and needed
replacement too, and common rails, Connecting pipes, fuel tank, fuel lines and fuel delivery
pump needed to be cleaned thoroughly, Engines any other component didnt require any
other service as No foreign particle or metal Amery could have passed through Microscopic
holes of Injector Nozzle.
After receiving the Injectors, and fuel
Pump, every assembly were assembled
and tested vehicle for any possible
problem, Vehicle performed perfectly, and
the problem was resolved and vehicle was
handed over to the Owner.
Cause : Water ingress through Air inlet duct buckled the Connecting Rod
Remedy : Engine Overhaul
Received Vehicle with the complaint of Dead engine, The same Vehicle which was
overhauled three weeks ago, The Customer was Blaming Workshop for the previous Job not
done properly and thats why they are facing the problem. And History described by
customer was that the Vehicle was used properly but they were blaming workshops
workmanship, upon
inspecting vehicle properly,
there was a damp smell in the
car, to check whether vehicle
was driven in the water or not,
Used profimaster Lift to lift
vehicle from one side, and
Surprisingly Huge amount of
water was poured from the
vehicle also large amount of
water came out from the
exhaust pipe as well , after
Figure 5.46 ACCUMULATED WATER IN COMBUSTION CHAMBER that Customer was brought to
the front of the Vehicle and
Opened the air inlet duct and air filter, Water was accumulated there and air filter was totally
wet and soaked in the water, and then the Customer admitted that the vehicle was driven
through the deep water puddle which stopped the engine and after several starting attempts,
Vehicle was Finally brought to the workshop. And he agreed to Overhaul the engine.
Engine was Harnessed on the Hoist and Engine was removed from the vehicle, after that Oil
Sump was opened and Engine head was removed to check the extent of damage, upon
avoid any interruptions bye loosely opened axle, After that, Front cross member was removed
and Along with that Engine C Mount and Steering rack was removed, after steering rack
removal doors were locked to prevent any accidental steering manoeuvre which may lead to
further complications during reinstalling and fine tuning the steering rack. After the removal
suitable supports were set and adjusted to support the engine as after that task, Transmission
side engine Bracket was about to be Opened, After placing the engine supports suitably the
mounting was loosened, and Removed, also Slave Cylinder was dismounted from the
Gearbox, and Gear position sensor connector was also removed from the gearbox and
Fasteners were removed from the Gearbox and then with help of 4 Persons the Gearbox was
removed and kept on the floor.
After the removal of the gearbox,
Thrust bearing was checked and the
Bearing was performing perfectly fine,
after that the fasteners were removed
from the Flywheel which were
fastening the clutch plate and pressure
plate housing. And removed entire
assembly and checked for any possible
problem.
Upon checking Clutch Plate, it was Figure 6.3 WORN OUT CLUTCH PLATE AND NEW CLUTCH
worn out and needed Replacement, PLATE
also due to modified design Clutch plate and pressure plate both
needed to be replaced and hence they were replaced, and after
that cable condition was checked whether they were in good
working condition or not, and it was found that the cables were
perfect and were in good condition, after that the gearbox was
Lifted by 4 men, and having two dowel pins as reference, the
gear box was fixed to its place and fastened, and after that, the
slave cylinder was fitted and the connector was connected.
After the Installation of Gearbox the Left side half axle oil seal
was replaced , it was Rubber Infused metal Oil seal, was
Figure 6.4 REMOVED LEFT HAND
replaced and axles were reinserted in the Transaxle unit, and SIDE AXLE OIL SEAL
installed Front cross member, steering rack, Engine C mounting
, and reengaged the Half axles in the transaxle unit, after turning on the engine, some gear
shifts were attempted and it was observed that the gear shifting was smoother and the
problem was resolved. Also the Oil leakage problem was resolved and topped up the
Transmission oil.
Figure 6.10 FRACTURED wheel manually, squeaking sound was observed as well as
BEARING MOUNTING vibrations were felt, bearing roar could be heard as well, upon
BRACKET
holding axle and shaking it, axle was displaying signs of play.
Wheels were removed, steering Knuckle was removed, including disc brakes assembly,
after that axles were clearly visible, But Left axle and all the subassemblies were looking
perfect but Left axles bearing mounting bracket shown Crack(Fracture) and Bearing was
totally worn out, Bearing balls were not visible, instead thin metal chips were observed.
hence, New bearing had to be installed, also Bearing mounting bracket needed
replacement, and Upon checking the Axles universal Joints they were not operating
silently, and operation was full of squeaks and Jolty, Hence replacement of entire Right
side axle needed replacement.
First of all Axle was disengaged along with the Universal Joints, and New bearing was
Installed on the Axle Using Hydraulic Press and After Installing the Bracket, Axle was
Installed, After Installation of new Axle along with universal constant velocity Joints,
Bearing, and Bearing Mounting Bracket, Vehicles remaining subassemblies were
installed and The Vehicle was taken for a Long trial to verify rectification of the Problem.
The Vehicle marked all the checkboxes and then Vehicle was sent for Alignment and the
Problem was resolved.
taken to the test run, and even on the Asphalt road, small irregularity caused rattling noise
which was prominent
Brought Vehicle back to the workshop and set on the Lift, and checked front suspension
struts, upon inspection it was revealed that the struts were bleeding and Leaking and oil could
be easily seen in both the struts, stabilizer Links and sway bar bushings were in good shape,
as well as Lower wishbones bushings were intact and were not worn, Hence came to the
initial conclusion that front struts needed replacement.
It needed removal of wheels, Disc brakes assembly, Steering Tie rod, Half axles, and
separation of Steering knuckle having caution to the disc brakes Hydraulic Lines. After
removal of these subassemblies, Nut is loosened from the top of the strut which is fastened
with the Body. Which ultimately removes the struts of both the sides. Strut assemblies are
sold without coil springs, hence Old coil springs were supposed to be used, and to handle
hazardous element as suspension springs and to Aid in Safe removal, Specially designed
Spring compressing and holding brackets are used. These brackets have upper and lower Jaw
which grapples the spring and both the jows are interconnected with a threaded bar, and end
of the upper jaw is also threaded, and on the top of threaded bar, there is a hexagonal m18
head, which can be tightened to compress the Spring. And springs were compressed to
remove the strut assembly and mounting plate (Buffer plate), Mounting plates were in good
condition, and didnt need replacement.
Once the strut is inserted and the nut is fastened moderately, the Spring grappling bracket is
opened to apply compression to the top mounting plate due to which nut can be tightened
firmly without rotating the strut assembly, after the replacement reinstalled all the
subassemblies and tested vehicle on the road, and the problem was rectified. And then the
Vehicle was sent for the Alignment.
moderately, the spring grappling brackets were removed to apply compression load to the top
mounting plate component so that it can be tightened without using any additional wrench.
After strut replacement, stabilizer links were also replaced, as the Ball joint was ripped off, to
open the nut of Stabilizer link, additional tools were used to Aid the ease of opening the nut,
Lock wrench was used to hold the Strut of stabilizer link. And Both Links were replaced.
After the replacement vehicle was taken for the trial and upon checking all the parameters
and confirming the resolution of problem, the vehicle was sent for the Alignment.
For height variation, Air hose were connected to the Pneumatic spring Valve. First the
Vehicle was Set in Jacking mode, which releases Air from the pneumatic springs and after
that the Pneumatic springs could be removed. After Jacking
mode execution, Air hose was carefully disconnected from the
Pneumatic springs, there was a Angle measurement sensor
connected to both Upper arm and Pneumatic spring both,
Removed that sensor carefully
Figure 8.3 PUMP SHAFT AFTER REMOVAL OF BEARING After the installation, the vehicle
engine was started and steering was
checked to ensure the problem was resolved, after the installation vehicle was taken for a test
run, and the problem was resolved.
After removal of the steering Rack, and removal of Motor, upon opening the motor it was
observed that the motor was Burnt and needed replacement too. The Rack was sent to get
checked by Specialist person for the possible problem, and the person informed that the
steering was operated without motor assistance and also due to deteriorated rack and tie rod
rack assembly was damaged beyond any repairing hence entire rack replacement along with
the motor was needed, after customers consent entire steering Rack was Replaced. After
removal of steering Rack doors were kept locked as steering must not be moved at all else It
might lead to fine tuning problem, again front cross member along with the Engine C
mounting were installed and vehicle was tested on road, and after the confirmation of
resolution of problem the Vehicle was handed over to the Alignment department.
Figure 10.3 ANGLE MEASUREMENT SENSOR MOUNTED BETWEEN UPPER ARM AND AIR SPRING
After receiving these spares, the work was resumed on the vehicle and after 5 hours, the
vehicle was fitted with new Lower and Upper wishbones. And was ready to be taken for the
test drive. And there was no noise at all when the vehicle was being tested on Rough patch of
Road after Setting Vehicle to the Off Road Mode. The Vehicle was driven for several
kilometers with new Front suspension wishbones, and after ensuring totally noise free Drive,
the Vehicle was brought back to the workshop.
After Almost a Couple of Hours the some technicians Observed that the Vehicle was High in
Rear and the Vehicle was Low in Height from the Front. And it was Observed that the Rear
Pneumatic Springs were Inflated but front Pneumatic Springs were deflated, and were much
shorter compared to rear pneumatic Springs. After turning on the engine and again selecting
Off Road mode using Dial, slowly the front of the Vehicle gained height and became equal to
the rear. And all four springs were then equal in length. And then the vehicle was kept for a
couple of hours
After the couple of Hours, again the same problem was observed as front two pneumatic
springs Couldnt retain their Height, and Vehicle was Lowered in Height from front
compared to the rear. To verify whether it was a Normal phenomenon or not, upon calling
and knowing from the customer, this was the Problem after Wishbones replacement only,
Earlier this Problem never used to take place. Hence it was necessary to address and trace the
Problem started after the Replacement.
Hence to check any possible Problems or error codes, and to check the reference values,
Bosch KTS 570 Diagnostic System was Utilized but there were no Problems observed there
and No error Codes were Generated, after that VCDS Diagnostic System was used to check
any possible problem but No problems were observed there also and No error code could be
seen and all the reference values were within their limits.
After that, thorough checking was done to the Air Hoses, which connected Air Pump under
the Driver sear underneath the body and Modulator to the Pneumatic Strut(Spring)(Shock
Absorber) for Any possible Damage upon Observing that there was No Damage, hoses were
fixed again and again the Off road Mode was activated and front suspension Gained the
Height. And then the Engine was turned off, and after checking the suspension system
condition after a couple of Hours, front pneumatic springs(Shock absorbers) couldnt retain
their Height and were dropped down in Height.
After this to check the possible Air leakage, a Special Mixture of Liquid soap and Water was
prepared, and was Sprayed on entire Strut assembly, and also to the crucial Joints and hose
connections. To verify that These assemblies were Intact. After sprinkling and covering all
hoses and connections and Valves with Mixture, no bubbles were Observed hence there was
no Leakage at all.
After this again newly fitted Upper and Lower wishbones were Removed and Both
Pneumatic Springs were removed. And Checked for the Leakage. No other parts except
Pneumatic Springs, Wishbones, And Outer end of Air Hose and Sensor Mounted on the
Upper wishbone which has got its other end connected to the Strut, Steering Knuckle, Disc
brake assembly. Hence attention was focused in these parts only especially, Strut, Air Hose,
and Strut Valves, Upper and Lower wishbones and Angle measurement sensors on the
suspension assembly.
Removed all Subassemblies and
checked every single component
thoroughly, and fitted them
Properly, and after that again
activated the Off road Mode and
Checked whether front
suspension could retain their
Height or Not, But again after an
Hour, front suspension couldnt
maintain its height and was
dropped down. Meanwhile the
customer Visited the workshop
and scolded for the persisted
problem.
Again Removed entire front
suspension Subassemblies
,removed front Struts, and
Decided to Check Entire
Figure 10.5 REMOVAL OF PNEUMATIC SPRING REVEALS Pneumatic Spring By
NEWLY INSTALLED LOWER ARM Submerging in water completely,
to trace even the tiniest Leakage,
strut were filled with air and were submerged in water and checked for their Leakage, But
there was No Leakage at all. After this the suspension was Installed again, and Kept the
Angle measurement sensor loose, same result acquired and height was lost.
But then the angle measurement sensor was kept at smaller angle than where it used be
Mounted by using duct tape. And that was Bulls eye, even after Many Hours suspension
retained its height and didnt lose its height, hence arrived to the conclusion that the problem
was with the sensor Angle. And it led to the conclusion that New arms might be different in
dimensions due to which the angle was varied to which sensor should be mounted, and the
sensors base position angle was changed, due to which Suspension Control Module might
have received varied reference value and due to which system Might have considered that
11.2 DISLIKES:
Poor ambient Lightning in the workshop except the bays next to natural source of
light like bays near main entrance.
Poor air Ventilation, this problem was felt quite a few times as suffocation.
Although availability of all the required and modern spares, it was observed that most
of pneumatic guns and electric guns were not functional because of some of the
technicians who were observed to use the tools in the manner they must not be used or
handled. and no one was bothered to get them repaired also.
Even though regular updates, and informative tips were forwarded to the service
advisors and technicians, in many cases it could be seen that they were using wrong
grade of fluids, and coolant in wrong proportion of dilution.
In many cases it was observed that Vehicle lifts were occupied wrongly. Sometimes
without calculation and estimation of time vehicle used be mounted on lift and
remained idle for whatsoever reasons, but this could have been avoided if Smarter
planning could have been done. And productive working hours could have generated
more revenue.
For a Phase of 15 days, it was observed that there was a huge problem of wiring
which led to electric shock every now and then, that kept everyone on threat and due
to which technicians were cautious, and no earth leakage protection was observed
during these 15 days.
Sometimes just to keep the Vehicle lift occupied, and to avoid further waiting for
technicians turn to use the lift, many technicians occupied lift wrongly by placing
vehicle on lift and disassembling assemblies and then they used to wait for the spares
and this way they didnt utilize their resources efficiently.
Spares were often received late and almost 4o% of times, in case of requirement of
any special spare, spare either used to get late or wrong spare used to be received.
Sometimes it was observed that in presence of all necessary tools, some non scientific
ways and mishandling of tools were observed, for example, to remove the door trims,
clips and plugs, in presence of their removers some technicians removed them with
screw driver or any such tools which were not meant for that purpose and hence
damage to the finishing.
No in house washing facility.
Many times, vehicles with the problem of smoke, emission or any such issues were
kept inside workshop with Running engine, that led to severe suffocation, and that
was extremely hazardous to the health. A rule should be introduced to avoid such
incidents
Though seat covers and steering covers are provided to each technician, some
technicians didnt use them at all, which led to staining and soiling of seat cover,
interiors, upholstery and steering, this could have been avoided.
