I bought the 3rd edition, as it best fits my own vehicles. I found several errors that the proof readers missed. I also found it a bit redundant to explain what a gasket is for each component that might use a gasket. Overall, this appears to be a required text for some, but it is a lightweight for automotive repair and certainly does not justify the high price of the newer versions. At a reasonable price, it offers an overview of vehicle repair, and if accompanied by an actual repair manual, such as Motors or Chiltons, it would be OK. As an actual automotive engineer with years of engine development experience, I was disappointed with it. The author apparently takes articles from various companies web sights or literature, and puts in his books. I don't get the feeling that the author actually has any automotive experience.
I am a audi technician. I went to school 8 years ago and i needed more broad information on all makes and models for my ASE tests. This book is very informative and well written. I was surprised with all the information it had. This book is a must have for any tech that actually cares about keeping up with the latest information and technology.
Excellent. Could the Editor/ or Jack etc, forward the 'Answers' for those Review Questions in this System book "Automotive Technology".Purchase this Excellent book 👍👍Kennard Limkennardlim@yahoo.com.sg
A must read, even for the non car technician. Will help you understand everything important about your car.
This is the auto tech's bible guide into all aspects of autos and their functions. I highly recommend it for the to do it yourselfer who does not mind putting their hands in oil.
Very nice book. Covers the basic of all categories that are on the ASE tests. Also a nice reference.
Excellent
Great book, tons of material and learn something new everyday. I use this book as a self study.
