The course has been approved by some of the top technicians in the country and will give you the confidence and knowledge to accurately diagnose a fault on a modern vehicle.

Emissions and Oxygen Sensing
Date: 20th February 2014
Modern emission control systems monitor the exhaust gas and control the fuelling to maintain maximum efficiency. The introduction of new technology has meant that the testing and diagnosis of these new systems has become increasingly more challenging. Many oxygen sensors cost hundreds of pounds and replacing them as a route to diagnosis could be a costly affair. Understanding how these systems work, and how to accurately test these components, could save both time and money. The course takes place over one day and investigates what’s behind these developments.
Cost: £195 +VAT per person
All courses are held at Pro Auto’s state-of-the-art facility in Atcham, Shrewsbury. To register your interest please visit: www.blue-print.com/workshops/technicaltraining/ or alternatively call 01743 762056.
