Exercises About Unit 5

The document discusses various engineering enemies that can affect car parts like heat, pressure, vibration, shocks, and abrasion. It then matches which enemies would be most problematic for different car parts like the chassis, suspension, engine, brakes, gearbox, tires, wings, cooling system, and nuts and bolts. It provides examples of technical problems encountered during a test including a loose radiator pipe nut that caused coolant to leak and the engine to overheat, a fuel feed problem that caused a spin off the circuit, and a wheel nut that wouldn't turn during wheel changes. In summary, the document discusses engineering enemies that affect car parts and provides examples of technical problems from a test.

I. Name five engineering enemies


1. Heat

2. Pressure

3. Vibration

4.Shocks

5. Abrasion

II. which engineering enemies in previous Exercise can be the most problematic
for each of the following car parts.

1. Chassis - Shocks
2. Suspension - Shocks
3. Engine - Heat
4. Brakes - Abrasion
5. gearbox and clutch - Abrasion
6. tyres - Abrasion
7. wings - Shocks
8. cooling system – Pressure by heat
9. nuts and bolts- Vibration

III. Complete the following extracts from the talk using the words in the box.

Bend - blocking - crack - jam - snap

1 ...You don't want anything Blocking the airflow to the radiators.

2 ... they had a wheel nut Jam it wouldn't turn.

3 ... he didn't hit the barriers and Bend the suspension or Snap it completely.

4 ... it didn't Crack the tub - the chassis

IV. Match the words in the box to their synonyms in the sentences

Defect – defective – fault - faulty - intermittently - major – minor- property – systematically

1. There's a problem. Fault /Defect


2. Perhaps something in the fuel injection system is wrong. Defective /Faulty
3. lt's a serious problem. Major
4. lt's a slight problem. Minor
5. ls it working correctly? Properly
6. The problem only occurs from time to time. Intermittently
7. The problem doesn't occur every time. Systematically

V. Read the reading and decide if each comment is true or false

Just to give you some examples of the types of technical problems we've had so far at this test. On one
of the cars, a nut Worked loose on a radiator pipe, which resulted in coolant liquid leaking out. That
caused the engine start overheating. Fortunately, the driver saw the warning light come on, and he
switched off before the system had run out of coolant. Then on the other car we had a fuel feed
problem; the engine cut out on one of the corner. That caused the driver to spin off. . We Were
fortunate he didn’t hit anything , but when the car goes off the circuit. The openings clog up with dirt. So
those had to be cleaned out. Obviously, you don't want anything blocking the airflow to the radiators.
And then because of the spin, the rubber was flat spotted. The tyres weren't close to wearing out, but
they still had to be changed, because of the flat spots. And then while they were putting the wheels back
on after that, they had a wheel nut jam, it wouldn't turn. And that's actually how problems tend to
happen, very often. You get a kind of chain of events, when you feel that everything's going against you.
Having said that, you could also say we were lucky. Fortunately, the radiator problem didn't cause the
engine to blow up. And after the spin, luckily he didn't hit the barriers and bend the suspension or snap
it completely. And even more fortunately, it didn't crack the tub - the chassis.

1. Some liquid was lost from a pipe. True x false


2. A car lost all its coolant with the engine still running. True False x
3. A car's engine stopped on the circuit. True x False
4. Some tyres were damaged. True x False
5. A wheel nut fell off a car on the circuit. True False x
6. A car's suspension was broken. True False x

VI.Read the following comments made by race team technicians. Complete the following sentences
using the correct form of words learned in this unit.

1. There's smoke and flames pouring out of the engine. It´s Blown up
2. There's a pool of oil under the car. Something's Leaking out
3. This cylinder head bolt won't loosen. lt's Jammed
4. The air filter’s full of dirt. it's completely- Clogged up
5. This wing support's been moving about. The bolts have Worked loose
6. Something's stopping the oil flow. The pipe might be Blocked up
7. Are you sure that pushrod's straight? lt looks as if it's Bent
8. We'll need to change these brake pads. They’re near|y Worn out
9. There's hardly any fuel left in the car. In another lap, we'll Run out
