It`s a little strange that they don`t mention "sat", "stand alone testing"?:?


Probably don't mention SAT as its the one where testers and AE's do or have the least to do , so in reality everything pretty stays as much as the status quo.



remember guys "YOU CAN READ THE ANSWERS IN THE MANUAL BEFORE ANSWERING"


Its not a memory game but it is important to get the answer right.

Trouble is Bones, when we're going through the topics here on the forum, most of us are sat in our nice comfy chairs quietly confident we know what we're on about and there's no manual handy. Of course we could go on the net and find a copy and the computer competents could provide one of those nice links to take you right to it, but to get back to that confidence that gets us in so much trouble.........

1.    Give 5 reasons for refusal to test

2.    Difference between fallback and ET testing

3.    What was the measurement before red goes to blue on headlamp alignment

4.    Procedure to carry out on checking for corrosion

5.    What should you do when the brake rollers fail (didn’t do too well on this one)

Anyhow he commented that he could clearly see that we had taken advice from my previous visit such as carrying audits every month around the workshop and yearly planner for calibrations (the wife sorted that one).



Well Done! "Rem";)

"Q"5, - Register the rbt issue on computerisation and continue to test using a decelerometer.;)

Once the rbt is functioning correctly, Re Register the "Correct Operation of the rbt".;)

 

Yeah but remember ALL vehicles MUST be booked in prior to RBT failure.....And only for the Day the fault occurs and the next working day....;).
