Reborn in 1982: I Became the Richest Man by Repairing Cars

The third reason is a faulty thermostat.

"The thermostat controls the water circulation. If the thermostat is stuck and cannot be opened, the cooling water can only circulate in a small loop."

"Without a radiator, the heat cannot dissipate, and the engine will overheat quickly."

Since the course was for professional car mechanics, Jiang Hui naturally had to offer some practical knowledge.

He felt that once he won over these people, any future maintenance orders that Shougang Group would have to be his.

The key is that Shougang has partnerships with many organizations, which will further spread the reputation of [Xiaojiang Auto Repair] shop.

So now I take my teaching very seriously.

"How do we determine that?"

Jiang Hui listened for a few seconds and then asked everyone to think about it.

However, students in this era were generally not very enthusiastic about answering teachers' questions.

Even those who had a general idea of ​​what might happen didn't raise their hands to answer.

Fortunately, Jiang Hui didn't take it to heart and continued, "We can touch the radiator's inlet and outlet pipes."

"If the inlet pipe is very hot but the outlet pipe is very cold, then the thermostat is broken. Just replace the thermostat."

"It's important to note that in winter, if the thermostat malfunctions, the engine won't warm up easily, which can also affect starting."

At this moment, Zhou Ming handed over a cup of tea from the side. Jiang Hui took a sip and continued, "Besides these three main faults, there are a few minor faults that you can also pay attention to."

"For example, low oil pressure is mainly caused by insufficient oil or wear of the oil pump."

"Or the oil filter might be clogged. Regularly checking the oil level and changing the oil and oil filter periodically can prevent this."

"There are also abnormal engine noises, such as a 'ticking' sound or a 'humming' sound. Different noises correspond to different faults."

"For example, a 'ticking' sound is mostly caused by excessive valve clearance; adjusting the valve clearance will solve the problem."

"The 'humming' sound may be due to worn bearings, which need to be inspected and repaired in time, otherwise it will damage the engine."

It's easy to get by during a three-day training period.

However, Jiang Hui clearly had no intention of just coasting along.

He wants to tell everyone about the main models of Shougang.

The goal is to make Zhou Ming feel that the money and bicycle ticket he spent were worthwhile.

The goal is to make the mechanics in the repair shop feel that they have truly learned something, even if they haven't mastered it yet, they have still gained some knowledge.

The key is to leave a lasting impression on everyone.

If you have any problems in the future, just contact [Xiao Jiang's Car Repair].

"Another common minor fault in the CA10C is oil leakage in the fuel supply system."

"Because it has an optimized oil supply system with more oil pipe joints, it is easy to leak oil if the joints become loose or the seals age."

"Everyone should regularly check the oil pipe joints and tighten them if they are loose."

"Replace the sealing ring when it's worn out. Don't be careless. Oil leaks not only waste gasoline, but can also easily cause a fire, which is unsafe."

As Jiang Hui spoke, he demonstrated the repair steps with a wrench. His movements were skilled and standardized, and he explained every detail clearly without holding anything back.

The workers in the workshop no longer had any complaints; they all listened intently.

When someone asked a question, Jiang Hui answered them patiently without showing the slightest impatience.

The gray-haired master craftsman who was the first to raise questions in the morning had long since lost his doubts, replaced by respect.

He looked at Jiang Hui and said sincerely, "Teacher Jiang, you explained it in such detail, it's even more practical than the training we attended at FAW before."

"We encounter these kinds of problems frequently, but sometimes we just can't find the root cause."

"Now that you mention it, I understand immediately. It turns out I hadn't noticed the small details."

"You're too kind, Master," Jiang Hui said with a smile. "It's all about exchanging ideas. I've just thought about things a little more and accumulated a bit more experience than everyone else."

"Our Shougang technicians have more practical experience than I do. We should learn from each other and work together to solve these car repair problems."

Zhou Ming stood aside, watching this scene, a gratified smile on his face.

He knew he hadn't made a mistake in choosing Jiang Hui; Jiang Hui was not only skilled but also genuinely willing to teach his fellow apprentices.

With Jiang Hui's guidance, the mechanics in Shougang's repair workshop will surely be able to solve more truck malfunctions in the future, and will no longer have to drive their trucks to outside repair shops for repairs or wait for the manufacturer to send mechanics.

When the bell rang to signal the end of the workday at Shougang plant, Jiang Hui did not have the habit of staying late.

"That's all for today. We'll mainly cover the common faults, causes, and repair methods for CA10B and CA10C."

"When you get back, you can compare your work with the cars you've repaired and think about it carefully."

"Tomorrow we'll continue disassembling the transmission and talk about common transmission malfunctions and repair methods. How does that sound?"

"Okay!" the workshop workers said in unison, their voices full of anticipation. They had all lost their initial resentment and now regarded Jiang Hui as their true teacher.

Of course, disassembling and explaining a gearbox certainly doesn't take more than two days.

The next morning, Jiang Hui spent half a day explaining this part.

Then, let me tell you again that Shougang Plant is equipped with BJ212 and Shanghai SH760 engines.

These two vehicles are quite different from the FAW CA10 series.

Although there aren't many of these two models within Shougang, they are used by factory directors and other leaders, so when problems arise, the impact is actually greater.

Zhou Ming was very satisfied with Jiang Hui's thoughtful arrangement.

On the third day at noon, he gave Jiang Hui the training fee and a bicycle ticket in advance.

"Jiang Hui, after listening to your detailed explanations these past few days, I think I'll be able to handle the CA10 truck's troubleshooting next time I encounter one."

Lin Yuanwu was definitely the person who learned the most during these three days of training.

Jiang Hui was not surprised at all by his statement.

"Sure, next time we encounter a similar problem, I'll let you try it out."

Jiang Hui desperately wanted someone to help him repair cars; otherwise, he would have to do it himself for every single one, and the business of "Little Jiang's Car Repair Shop" would never be able to grow and thrive.

"Brother Yuanwu, there are still many things I don't understand about what Master has said these past few days."

"May I ask you more questions later?"

Fan Weimin rode his bicycle alongside, feeling a sense of pressure.

He now knows that Lin Yuanwu started learning car repair from Jiang Hui about a month earlier than him.

Normally, with such a short time difference, everyone's skill level should be about the same.

In particular, he had previously learned some basic knowledge from his father, Fan Chengtian.

However, over the past few days, he has noticed a significant difference between the two.

"No problem."

"Let's have a good sparring session first, and then ask Jiang Hui if we encounter anything we don't understand."

Lin Yuanwu readily agreed.

By winning over experienced repairmen, training new apprentices, and securing orders from Shougang Group, Jiang Hui's auto repair business officially entered a period of rapid development starting in the next three days.
