UPCOMING CARS

The new Chevrolet Sail hatchback is available in two engine trims in global market-a 1.2 litre S-TEC II and a 1.4 Litre of S-TEC II petrol engine. It seems that there are more chances of 1.2 litre of petrol engine used in Chevys another hatchback Beat as it would be best to compete with other small cars in the country such as Nissan Micra, Hyundai i20 and Ford Figo. The small engine will make for 79 bhp of power and 10.91 kgm of torque. Launch of diesel version in India is not confirmed yet but if it is launched in the country than Chevrolet Sail hatchback will sport 1.3 litre of multi jet diesel motor borrowed from Fiat. The engine will be wisely coupled with the 5 speed manual gearbox. Besides the stunning engine specifications, the new Chevrolet Sail hatchback will come with looks to kill for. The small car will endorse typical horizontal split grille. The design is well-executed and, like the saloon, its spacious interiors will be a selling point. On the inside, the interiors of the car in all likelihood will be comfortable and stylish. The use of sophisticated color

on the upholstery and the dashboard seen in the global model gives the passenger an absolute luxurious feel. For long journeys, the car will have ample of luggage storage making it spacious and capacious. This hatchback will evidently be bigger than GMs earlier hatchback cars like Chevrolet Beat and Chevrolet Aveo. As for price, speculations in the market suggest that Chevrolet India will tag the small car according to the current Indian car bazaar condition, which mean the cost of the new Chevrolet Sail will be under-4 lakh.

Chevrolet Enjoy is a full-fledged seven seater Multi Purpose Vehicle that will be available in India soon. This new MPV which is popular in Chinese market as Hong Guang, will hit the markets in mid 2012. The Chevrolet Enjoy MPV which was on pedestal in the Auto Expo, 2012 along with hatch Chevrolet Sail, is designed for those who look for space, comfort and style in their vehicle which can add pleasure to life. The stylish MPV is actually co-developed with the Chinese partner SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation). SAIC has 50% stake in GM India and the Chevrolet Enjoy will be coming from the stables of Wuling Automobiles which is a Joint venture between GM and SAIC in China.

Chevrolet India, through which General Motor-the ace player in car market on global front-operates in India, has pulled up its socks and planning to pave way for Chevrolet Trailblazer on Indian roads. Chevrolet Trailblazer is a seven seater SUV with three rows of seating arrangement. The second generation of this power packed SUV was officially revealed in 2011, for sale across the globe. If at all it arrives in India, it will only be christened as 2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Chevrolet Chevrolet Trailblazer SUV is powered with a 2.5 litre of diesel engine that produces 150 BHP

of power along with 47.8 kgm of torque. The car gears up to a top speed of 170 km per hour Trailblazer and comes with six speed automatic transmission. The SUV has got muscular and strappy 2.5L exteriors along with comfortable and trendy interiors. A delightful driving experience is promised by General Motors with Chevrolet Trailblazer. The new Chevrolet Trailblazer is another bold SUV from GMs village. This variant comes Chevrolet powered with a responsive and reactive 2.8 litre of common rail diesel engine, which promises Trailblazer to generate maximum power of 180 BHP. The exteriors of Chevrolet Trailblazer are terrific, 2.8L whereas the interiors of the SUV are likely to be comfortable and chic.

Wulings lending hand to GM India with Wuling CN-100 will not go wasted. General Motors India could bring the MPV much sooner than expected by September this year. The seven-seater Chevrolet CN100 MPV could be a perfect choice for Indian families who are on a look out for a frugal family car well within their reach with a budget price. Developed by GM along with its Chinese partner SAIC, the decent looking MPV has knocked the point home that looks alone can be deceptive and garnered sales surpassing the manufacturers estimations in the Chinese car market. To tap the growing demand for diesel driven utility vehicles in the domestic car market, auto giant has pulled out the ace card from the pack with the 1.3 L multijet diesel engine and good performance figures to take the market by storm. General Motors India could bring the MPV much sooner than expected by September this year with the estimated Chevrolet CN 100 price of Rs 5 lakh. Departments

Four-stroke Four-stroke cycle Idealized Pressure/volume diagram of the Otto cycle showing combustion heat input Qp and waste exhaust output Qo, the power stroke is the top curved line, the bottom is the compression stroke. Engines based on the four-stroke ("Otto cycle") have one power stroke for every four strokes (up-down-up-

down) and employ spark plug ignition. Combustion occurs rapidly, and during combustion the volume varies little ("constant volume").[8]. The steps involved here are: 1. Intake stroke: Air and vaporized fuel are drawn in. 2. Compression stroke: Fuel vapor and air are compressed and ignited. 3. Combustion stroke: Fuel combusts and piston is pushed downwards. 4. Exhaust stroke: Exhaust is driven out. During the 1st, 2nd, and 4th stroke the piston is relying on power and the momentum generated by the other pistons. In that case, a four-cylinder engine would be less powerful than a six- or eight-cylinder engine. There are a number of variations of these cycles, most notably the Atkinson and Miller cycles. The diesel cycle is somewhat different. Split-cycle engines separate the four strokes of intake, compression, combustion and exhaust into two separate but paired cylinders. The first cylinder is used for intake and compression. The compressed air is then transferred through a crossover passage from the compression cylinder into the second cylinder, where combustion and exhaust occur. A split-cycle engine is really an air compressor on one side with a combustion chamber on the other. Previous split-cycle engines have had two major problems - poor breathing (volumetric efficiency) and low thermal efficiency. However, new designs are being introduced that seek to address these problems. The Scuderi Engine addresses the breathing problem by reducing the clearance between the piston and the cylinder head through various turbo charging techniques. The Scuderi design requires the use of outwardly opening valves that enable the piston to move very close to the cylinder head without the interference of the valves. Scuderi addresses the low thermal efficiency via firing ATDC. Firing ATDC can be accomplished by using high-pressure air in the transfer passage to create sonic flow and high turbulence in the power cylinder.

CRANKSHAFT

The crankshaft, sometimes casually abbreviated to crank, is the part of an engine that translates reciprocating linear piston motion into rotation. To convert the reciprocating motion into rotation, the crankshaft has "crank throws" or "crankpins", additional bearing surfaces whose axis is offset from that of the crank, to which the "big ends" of the connecting rods from each cylinder attach. It typically connects to a flywheel, to reduce the pulsation characteristic of the four-stroke cycle, and sometimes a torsional or vibrational damper at the opposite end, to reduce the torsional vibrations often caused along the length of the crankshaft by the cylinders farthest from the output end acting on the torsional elasticity of the metal. TIMING BELT

Engine applications
In the internal combustion engine application, the timing belt/chain connects the crankshaft to the camshaft(s), which in turn controls the opening and closing of the engine's valves. A four-stroke engine requires that the valves open and close once every other revolution of the crankshaft. The timing belt/chain does this. It has teeth to turn the camshaft(s) synchronized with the crankshaft, and is specifically designed for a particular engine. In some engine designs, the timing belt may also be used to drive other engine components such as the water pump and oil pump. Gear or chain systems are also used to connect the crankshaft to the camshaft at the correct timing. However, gears and shafts constrain the relative location of the crankshaft and camshafts. Even where the crankshaft and camshaft(s) are very close together, as in pushrod engines, most engine designers use a short chain drive rather than a direct gear drive. This is because gear drives suffer from frequent torque reversal as the cam profiles "kick back" against the drive from the crank, leading to excessive noise and wear. Fibre gears, with more resilience, are preferred to steel gears where direct drive has to be used. Even though the "official" purpose of fiber or nylon gears may be to deal with "kickback", a fiber or nylon cam gear is cheaper to produce. Steel gears almost never fail. The cam lobes wear out long before the gears do. Most large truck and industrial diesel engines have steel gears, and they go 300,000 to 500,000 miles without gears failing. In fact, usually the only time a direct gear cam drive setup will fail is when the cam gear is nylon or fiber.[2] A belt or chain allows much more flexibility in the relative locations of the crankshaft and camshafts. While chains and gears may be more durable, rubber composite belts are quieter in their operation (in most modern engines the noise difference is negligible), are less expensive and more efficient, by dint of being lighter, when compared with a gear or chain system. Also, timing belts do not require lubrication, which is essential with a timing chain or gears. A timing belt is a specific application of a synchronous belt used to transmit rotational power synchronously. Timing belts are typically covered by metal or polymer timing belt covers which require removal for inspection or replacement. Engine manufacturers recommend replacement at specific intervals.[3] The manufacturer may also recommend the replacement of other parts, such as the water pump, when the timing belt is replaced because the additional cost to replace the water pump is negligible compared to the cost of accessing the timing belt. In an interference engine, or one whose valves extend into the path of the piston, failure of the timing belt (or timing chain) invariably results in costly and, in some cases, irreparable engine damage, as some valves will be held open when they should not be and thus will be struck by the pistons. Indicators that the timing chain may need to be replaced include a rattling noise from the front of the engine.

CYLINDER HEAD

In an internal combustion engine, the cylinder head (often informally abbreviated to just head) sits above the cylinders on top of the cylinder block. It closes in the top of the cylinder, forming the combustion chamber. This joint is sealed by a head gasket. In most engines, the head also provides space for the passages that feed air and fuel to the cylinder, and that allow the exhaust to escape. The head can also be a place to mount the valves, spark plugs, and fuel injectors. In a flathead or sidevalve engine, the mechanical parts of the valve train are all contained within the block, and the head is essentially a metal plate bolted to the top of the block; this simplification avoids the use of moving parts in the head and eases manufacture and repair, and accounts for the flathead engine's early success in production automobiles and continued success in small engines, such as lawnmowers. This design, however, requires the incoming air to flow through a convoluted path, which limits the ability of the engine to perform at higher revolutions per minute (rpm), leading to the adoption of the overhead valve (OHV) head design, and the subsequent overhead camshaft (OHC) design

ACCIDENTAL DEPARTMENT: It covers the following sections. Dent removal Painting Full body repairing

Dent removal:-

An electronic machine is used to remove the dent of the vehicle. Different tools used while removing the dents are Suction Puller: Suction pullers work by pushing a suction cup onto the damaged area to allow the dent to be "pulled" out. This method works well using a single cup for small dents where the paintwork is undisturbed. Using two sizes of suction cups, linked by a "bridge" and connecting a pulling handle between them permits medium and large dents to be "popped" back out.. Rubber Hammer: If the backside of a dent is in an area that can be reached, gentle tapping with a rubber hammer from the underside of the panel restores the shape.
Dent Pullers: These are non-suction pumps. If the suction cup style of dent puller did not correct the damage, using the version that requires a small hole drilled in the body exerts the extra pulling force needed for deeper dents.

Dolly: A dolly is a special tool for smoothing out any wrinkles left in areas damaged by dents. They come in a variety of sizes with different-shaped curves

Painting :

Paint is first mixed in a paint mixing room then afterwards the vehicle is painted in this chamber. After painting the chamber is heated so as to dry the paint on the vehicle.

Wheel alignment and balancing:

Wheel alignment is done is carried out in three steps. Rim alignment: In this the rim of the wheel of the vehicle is fitted on to the machine. That generates the data and aligns the rim accordingly Wheel Balancing: In wheel balancing the wheel is put on a machine and is rotated. The machine tells the balancing of the wheels and the balance are put accordingly. Wheel alignment: this is the most important section of the wheel alignment in which the wheel is checked for it straightness, tapering, and difference in height. Different parts are tightenloosed accordingly. It has three main measurements Toe: The car could have toe-in or toe-out. Toe in is when the two front tyres of the car are facing inwards. Toe-Out is similar, but as the name says, the two front tyres both point outside. Away from the centre of the car. Now, Toe can have a drastic effect on car handling, steering position and tyre wear. As you can imagine, when the tyres arent parallel, there is minor scrubbing and so, the insides of the front tyres get worn out much faster. And an experienced or knowledgeable eye will see that it isnt normal wear but scrubbed.

This toe can be easily corrected by an experienced technician. The important thing is to get an accurate reading before and after the alignment. Also, you need to know the correct specifications.

Camber: This is the tilting of the top of the tyre seen from the front. It could tilt inwards or outwards. If it tilts inwards as seen from the front, then the car is said to have negative camber. If it tilts outwards, it has positive camber. This could lead to pulling, steering not being straight and uneven tyre wear. Let's take the case of Negative Camber. The load on the inside of the tyre is more and hence that side of the tyre wears out more. This type of wear is different from the wear you get from Toe-in. If it is wear due to camber, the inside of the tyre shows smooth wear. It's more than the rest of the tyre, but you can see that the tyre hasnt scrubbed.

Camber is not easily adjusted usually. Will explain more later in the post. Caster: This is the angle made by the steering column with respect to the centre line of the tyre when seen from the side. It sounds a bit complicated, but this image should make it clear.

Billing section:After servicing of the car detailed bill is made which includes part replacement labour details And thus total cost is calculated and payment is done.
