In the automotive aftermarket, new technologies and trends are arising at a faster rate than ever before. Amid this background, even the most experienced technician might worry about how relevant their skills will be in a few years’ time. But don’t despair – keeping your skills up-to-date is easier than ever, thanks to the proliferation of training courses, many of which have headed online. Nick Thomas, DENSO Project Sales Manager, discusses how to find the right course for you and where the training movement will go next.
The basics of a glow plug are easy to explain. They are essential for ignition in diesel-powered engines (as opposed to spark plugs in petrol engines); they heat the air/fuel mixture in the engine so it ignites easily under compression; they are built to be long-lasting and work reliably no matter what happens. However, occasionally external factors or faults with other components can lead to issues with glow plugs. Owing to their rarity, these can easily be missed or wrongly identified.
Sébastien Ogier and his co-driver Julien Ingrassia came from behind to win the FIA World Rally Championship after a dramatic final stage at Monza. Ogier overhauled his Toyota GAZOO stablemate Elfyn Evans on the final stage to take his seventh WRC title in eight years and his first with Toyota GAZOO Racing, sponsored by DENSO.
Spark plugs play a critical role within the ignition system of petrol vehicles, with two main functions. One is to ignite combustion to start the engine and the other is to move heat away from the combustion chamber. While installing spark plugs should be a relatively straightforward task for any skilled technician, applying the right torque is not so simple and requires particular care and attention. This article outlines the recommended way to apply torque to a spark plug installation and the consequences of under and over-torque.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s #7 TS050 HYBRID, sponsored by DENSO and driven by Mike Conway, Jose Maria Lopez and Kamui Kobayashi, has won the 2020 FIA World Endurance Drivers’ Championship. By winning the final event of the season in Bahrain, they narrowly beat their teammates Brendon Hartley, Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima to the top spot.
