Vehicle Maintenance / Automotive Engine Lubrication & Cooling

Set of two PowerPoints made for Level 1 Vehicle Maintenance and Repair course - The first covers Engine Lubrication . There are 42 slides in total and makes use of the animations that PowerPoint offers. This lesson starts with introducing the main engine components split into top end and bottom end, friction, and then onto each individual component and safe, correct disposal of waste.

The second has 48 slides and covers cooling systems - following the same format as the lubrication lesson introducing the idea of a cooling system, the 3 different heat transfer principles that are present and the individual components and safe disposal of waste. It finishes with a animation video at the end running from start to finish - you need to ensure internet connectivity to play the embedded video.

Be sure to use the slideshow feature or you’ll have a lot of overlapping images.

There are some slides that require answers to be revealed by clicking on the pictures or text - I have pointed these out in the slide comments.

I have also included a worksheet to accompany the lesson that can be printed out for students to complete, or sent to them via e-mail to complete on word.

I taught levels 1 up to 3 of Vehicle Maintenance & Repair at a further education college in the UK for 6 years delivering the IMI vehicle qualifications until Jan 2024 before I moved away from education.

I found the resources available to me when I started pretty poor and didn’t engage the students particularly well, so I made my own set of PowerPoints that cover pretty much all of it so far, so thought i’d share some of them up here and see if there’s any takers. If there is, i’ll put them all up and hopefully they’ll come in useful.

I don’t want to charge a ton for these, but a good few hours go into making these PowerPoints so i’m just getting a little back for my time and hopefully they come in useful for others.
