A few people (out of 12 people) arrived on Friday afternoon for the Saturday event. Reinhard, the host, was not letting us relax at the hotel and encouraged us to visit the "Academy of Crafts". We had planned to have our Saturday meeting with a very advanced group of diagnosticians at this workshop. A team that I somewhat consider my own because, 12 years ago, I put together this team of experts in Germany to deal with a project called "stalled vehicles". Our international online FCD diagnostic portal also helped to bring them together.
To the point: It was a coincidence that Reinhard's, friend showed up on Friday afternoon and asked for help. He needs help with diagnostics on his direct-injected BMW six-cylinder engine, which has been experiencing engine misfire problems for some time. In his hand, he had a repair estimate from an authorised BMW workshop with a provisional amount of nearly 5.000 Euro.
“I've have my FCD-Logger with me, how about a test drive?” I said, even though I was tired after driving 870 km. “Was ist denn das?” wondered the crafts teacher and the car owner. “I'll show you on your BMW...”, I offered him a practical test drive.
Twenty minutes later, it was all clear and the preliminary estimated budget of a city scooter could be calmly discarded by the BMW owner. It would literally be money wasted...
Most were present, about five core members of the group from the project of so-called "stopped vehicle" were missing. This project, at that time diagnosed around 470 vehicles with faults that caused the cars to "stall" on the road. These men have excellent knowledge how to use diagnostic tools and especially the TEXVIK oscilloscope, which was the compulsary tool for this successful response team at that time.
Not only the old pros know how to use an oscilloscope, but even the young ones impressed with their skills. The 24-year-old Swiss Gian left no doubt that there will be someone to repair modern cars, including hybrids and HEVs. He demonstrated things that even the expert teacher from the Academy of Crafts in Schopfheim, Germany, admired. What he does is revealed by his suitcase with an oscilloscope and accessories. The inside of the case is organized with plastic dividers and holders for different accessories, which Gian prints himself on a 3D printer.
Every square metre has thousands of euros worth of technology. Cars crowded the workshop and there was still something outside that didn't fit. Groups went out on Saturday and practiced on anything with plugs or injectors...
Thanks to these breakout boxes with banana plug type outlets, students get familiar with oscilloscope signals. At the front, there's an interactive electronic LED board, costing at least several thousand Euro. Everywhere, there are chargers, HEV parts from electric cars, and service equipment of all kinds.
In addition to the new X-ACC Accelerometer or "G-sensor", the signals of the alternator charging current, battery voltage or accelerator probe (yellow signal) can be smoothed out when testing the uniformity of individual cylinders (two editing windows at the bottom of the bar). While the charging signals (copying the uniformity of the alternator pulley rotation) are disturbed by the charging regulation and should be smoothed out by this function, the signal from the G-sensor is already smoothed out by this function and is beautifully readable.
