However, I love cars, love learning about them, love working on them, and love talking with others that share the same passion. Since I don’t work in the industry, I don’t believe my investment will ever pay off. I just completed a two day 4 hour class on gasoline direct injection two weeks ago. With the COVID pandemic, ATG has put many courses online for only $30.

Plus there is a wealth of good techs on YouTube that are willing to share their knowledge. (I own 4 different scan tools, an oscilloscope, multimeters, breakout box, and probably 2k worth of other diagnostic tools.) In addition to learning from books, I have taken over 40 hours of diagnostic instruction at the local junior college and various weekend courses put on by ATG, WTI/Worldpac, and others. But if it is your passion, you may be able to justify the costs by what it will save in paying someone else to service your vehicles. The main downside is the time needed to become proficient and the costs. As cars become more advanced so do the tools and skills to diagnose and service them.

Do BMW's still have that fancy fold down tool tray on the underside of the trunk? Anyplace a driver can actually use a screwdriver or pliers on their BMW anyway?Ĭlick to expand.NV, you have to up your tool game. Have to use my engine hoist to remove and remount it, weighs over 300 pounds. I was working on my 1952 Army 3/4 ton M37 Weapons Carrier's winch the past few days, and used big sockets and wrenches, some as big as one inch. Research by the Ford Motor Company indicates moisture contamination of brake fluid was approximately 1 in test vehicles that had been in service as long as 7 years.

Us "tool guys" like to have neat shop drawers full of fancy tools, but who can use them anymore. Interestingly, moisture is not the main contaminant that causes brake system problems, though thought to be the main problem by many industry professionals. I have used a Motive pressure bleeder on past cars, but with modern anti-lock systems, I don't think it gets it all changed without out cycling the controller with special equipment.Įverything is so complicated on modern cars. Sometimes a flush chemical such as denatured alcohol is used - if a contaminant (such as power steering or transmission fluid) has gotten into. I can see why an Alfa dealer would not change a car's brake fluid to a non-spec or non-factory same fluid. The term Brake Flush is used by most automotive shops to describe the process of draining and filling, changing or exchanging the brake fluid in an automotive brake system.
I would suspect there is a financial benefit for demanding their part's department brake fluid be used, and something "almost" the same would make them liable for a braking failure.

Maybe similar to asking Alfa to change your oil with something you bring in, which is not the precise recommended oil.
