At Bosch, there is no end to learning!

In order to retain and pass on practical expertise in the servicing and repair of recent and vintage classics, Bosch Classic developed a new series of training courses. Technology-minded owners of historic and recent classics can participate in special training courses on Bosch systems that are more than 20 years old.

In order to ensure that optimum training success is achieved, we can only take a maximum of 14 participants into account.

Training is offered in the following areas:

D-Jetronic

Background information

The Bosch D-Jetronic is an electronical Gasoline injection system which was introduced in 1967. With the help of the electronic control unit a more precisive fuel metering is possible (compared to conventional carburetors) so that the more stringent emission standards could be matched.

Topics

Operation and components of the Bosch D-Jetronic

Signs of wear, possible failures and their effects

Diagnosing and testing (with equipment)

Adjustments and their effects

Practical exercises on components and on cars

Differences from the Bosch L-Jetronic

Vehicles

BMW E3, E9

Citroen DS 21, DS23, SM

K/KE-Jetronic

Background information

The Bosch K-Jetronic is a mechanical fuel-injection system which was introduced in 1972. To reduce fuel consumption and to meet more stringent emission standards the electronically assisted KE-Jetronic followed soon.

Bosch ignition systems

Background information

A working ignition system is essential for a correct combustion. As time moves on the ignition systems changed.

Topics

Operation and components of the battery

History of ignition systems (from breaker-triggered coil ignition to map-controlled ignitions)

Differences between transistor ignitions (TZ-h and TZ-i)

Signs of wear, possible failures and their effects

Diagnosing and testing (with equipment and oszilloscope)

Adjustments and their effects

Practical exercises on components and on cars

Mechanical fuel injection by Bosch

Background information

The mechanical fuel-injection (MFI) which emerged in the 1950s lead to more horse power and to less fuel consumption. The used mechanics are complex.

Topics

Operation and components of the MFI

Signs of wear, possible failures and their effects

Diagnosing and testing (with equipment)

Adjustments and their effects (on the car)

Practical exercises on components and on cars

Vehicles

Bosch starters and generators

Background information

Starters and generators are essential parts of a vehicle. If one of them fails the vehicle is no longer ready-to-use. Both products have influence on other products and systems within the vehicle.

Topics

Operation and components of starters and generators

Signs of wear, possible failures and their effects

Diagnosing and testing (on car)

Adjustments and their effects

Practical exercises on components and on cars

Dates and locations

Trainings take place at Bosch Classic Services. In addition to the intensive theoretical background, technical knowledge is communicated with hands-on examples on the vehicle. You can bring your own vehicle. An inspection cannot be guaranteed and depends on the available time.

Please note that the courses are hold ONLY IN GERMAN OR FRENCH.
