Summary

For courses in diesel principles/engines.

Prepare tomorrow’s automotive professionals for success
Light Vehicle Diesel Engines covers the theory, construction, diagnosis, and service of light vehicle diesel engines, including the practical skills students must master to be successful in the industry. This new title is designed for the “keystone” course of a two-year automotive program; it examines the advanced technology of on-board diagnosis and up-to-date diesel technology. Using a format that appeals to today’s technical trade students, Halderman and Ward offer helpful tips and visuals to bring concepts to life and guide students through the procedures they’ll use on the job. All of the content conforms to the latest ASE areas.
