Summary

Tasks performed by the Intern:

1- Checking brake pads for wear and weather the
need to be changed.
2-Checking and Adjusting the suspension system of
each vehicle of a new coming client.
3-Replacing vehicle Filters i.e. (air filter, oil filter,

place a new one.
8-Draining engine oil.
9-Adjusting the engine timing belt for both the cam

10-Removing Cylinder Head cover and Replacing
Spark Plugs.

Lessons learned by the Intern:

1-the first step to diagnose a problem is by doing a
visual inspection not by replacing the part directly.
2-Some parts in the vehicle systems need to be
checked thoroughly to identify the exact problem
and not to leave it for guessing.
3-One should be careful while dealing with some
certain faults in vehicle. Such as replacing the
clutch disk and pressure plate .
4- If one is not sure that the source of a problem is
part X then he should return to the Workshop
Engineer who would return to the Technical support
in turn.
5-the client has the right to have a look on what
part has to be replaced in his car before taking any
decision regarding this part.

Recommendations for future ones:

1-there should be training sessions for interns
during their internship period .these sessions may
discuss the usual problems that appear a lot in the
company vehicles and clients always complain
about.
2-the work flow of the maintenance center should
be clarified a bit because not all the interns have
an internship experience before.
