iv. It encourages and enhances involvement of the employers in the
entire educational processes of preparing graduates that are
employable. Minimization of the bewilderment experienced by
students. Particularly those from non-technological background,
pursuing courses in science, engineering and technology with regard
to different equipment, processes, tools etc. available in industry.
v. Provision of an enabling environment where students can develop and
enhance personal attributes such as critical thinking, creativity,
initiative, resourcefulness, leadership, time management,
presentation skills and interpersonal skills, amongst others .
As much as the SIWES programme was created with the sole objective to
the industrial work capacity of Nigerian students, there are certain flaws
that still curtail the aim of the programme. Hence, some of the
disadvantages of the SIWES programme are:

for raising a vehicle so that the underside is accessible for inspection
and repair is used.

4.1.1 DRAINAGE OF OLD ENGINE OIL
Drainage of old engine oil is a basic routine car service operation usually
done beneath the car for most cars. This is because it is done on the
engine sump which is usually located beneath the engine.
The drainage in the engine sump is usually either a 14 sized bolt for most
cars or 17 sized bolt for some cars. This drainage bolt can be loosed with
either a 14 or 17 sized socket connected to a T-rod (or spanner)
depending on the size. After the oil is totally drained out, the drainage
bolt is carefully tight back.
Oil filter is a component of the engine that strains or sieves off debris
from the oil and prevents them from entering into engine as their
presence could be hazardous to the engine and affect its longevity.
This simply entails removing the old and faulty oil filter (which may be
stuck with debris from the old engine oil) and allowing the engine oil
there to drain off before replacing it with a new oil filter.
This operation is usually done with an oil filter cup or oil filter chain. The
size of the oil filter cup has to be equivalent with the size of the oil filter.
If one is using the oil filter chain, there is no need for size however,
enough expertise is required.

A good engine oil should be viscous enough to lubricate all the parts of
the engine without leaving any deposit. However, it required that the
engine oil be replaced on time to avoid much carbon deposit on the
internal parts of the engine.
21
4.1.4 REPLACEMENT OF OLD FUEL FILTER
Fuel filter is a component in the car that filters off dirt and debris from
the fuel whose presence could be dangerous to the I.C engine.
During routine car servicing, the fuel filter should be replaced for cars
having their fuel filter visible in the bonnet except for cars having theirs
inside the fuel tank.
Brake pads are the components of the brake system that transmits the
braking force to the brake discs when the brake is actuated.
Brake pads are replaced by first loosening the wheel stud nuts and then
the caliper bolts (usually size 14) pressing the caliper against the brake
pad.

4.1.6 SERVICING OF FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
The fuel injection system ensures that fuel is supplied in the right ratio
and proportion to the cylinder/combustion chamber.
The carburetor is the part of an engine that supplies a mixture of air and
fuel (in an adequate air/fuel ratio) to the combustion chamber.
The replacement activity has to do with the total and thorough change of
a particular automobile device/unit that have no useful life left in them.
This can be due to wear and tear or improper handling. Poor servicing
techniques ca also reduce the lifespan of the certain mechanisms in an
automobile. Examples of replacement activities include;

4.2.1 EXAMINING AND WORKING ON A FAULTY STEERING SYSTEM
During test driving you may notice some noise during galloping.
Although some other things could cause this noise however, you can
confirm this when the vehicle is at rest. Jack the vehicle up (specifically
the front wheels) and with your fingers, try to check for wobbling by
shaking the tire horizontally left and right. Make sure the stud nuts are
still firmly tight before doing this.
When there is a case of hard steering, there could be some other causes
of this, however, to confirm that the power steering pump is faulty
ensure that the ATF in the reservoir is well gauged. Then with the engine
on turn the steering. If the ATF in the reservoir overflows, it simply
means that fluid is only entering back the reservoir via the return hose
from the steering rack and not flowing out (or being sucked by the pump)
because it ought to be sinking not overflowing.
However, before attempting to lose out the pump first loose out the
reservoir and check if the ATF flows out easily from the supply and
return outlets. If it doesn’t flow out from the supply, it simply means that
the filter inside the reservoir is blocked with dirt and debris. This can be
cleaned by washing the reservoir with fuel and gently tapping it on the
ground upside down to remove the dirt. If the filter is torn, it is advisable
25
you replace the reservoir to avoid dirt from entering into the power
steering pump because that is the purpose of the filter.
If however, the supply and return outlets are free then it simply implies
that the power steering pump is faulty and may require replacement.
MATERIALS REQUIRED: New engine, engine oil, oil filter and coolant.
26
PROCEDURES
− Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brakes.
− Jack the vehicle where the engine is located and support with a jack
stand.
− Drain all fluids (engine oil, radiator coolant and power steering fluid)
from the engine.
− Unbolt the surrounding bolt that holds the engine and transmission
together.
− Connect the engine crane and gently raise and remove the old
engine.
− Visually inspect the old and new engine to ensure that there is no
difference.
− Raise the new engine and carefully guide it into the engine
compartment.
27
− Guide, fasten and tighten the engine mount bolts and also the gear
box to the engine simultaneously to avoid any complications.
− Start the vehicle and allow to idle for several minutes’ (about 10-
20mins)

5.3 CONCLUSION
I saw most of the tools I only heard of, handled them, knew areas they
fitted rightly into and where they are limited to in the cause of using
them which saves time and enables the tools last longer.
