To give workshops the greatest number of opportunities to take advantage of its market-leading training, Schaeffler has added three new dates to its ever-expanding double clutch training calendar.

The Tool Connection training centre in Southam will host courses on the 26th & 27th April and is close to Birmingham Airport. The IMI approved two-day course addresses the design, operation and repair of both the dry and wet clutch systems for all popular Volkswagen Group DSG gearbox applications. It is designed to encourage and empower professional technicians, and the owners of their workshop, to confidently take on semi-automatic double clutch servicing and repair jobs without the need to send them to a ‘specialist’.

The second course takes place at Coleg Sir Gar in Pibwrlwyd, Wales on the 6th & 7th June at a venue only a short drive from Fishguard and Pembroke Ferry ports. 

The third course is back at Tool Connection in Southam on the 7th and 8th November. Two further events and venues are in the pipeline for later in the year, with announcements at: www.repxpert.co.uk

Schaeffler Technical Services Manager, Alistair Mason said, “Although the main purpose of the training is to give technicians the knowledge and confidence to undertake VAG double clutch system replacement using our LuK 2CT repair solutions, it also allows us to explain the many other ways in which Schaeffler and the REPXPERT platform can help them work more efficiently. The two days follow the same format, with day one covering dry clutch systems and day two covering wet. Each day starts with an overview of the double clutch system, followed by the theory behind the clutch and mechatronics. We then move onto a practical removal and installation before looking into the common issues that can affect the three main elements: gearbox, mechatronics and clutch.”

The training, which includes lunch and refreshments on both days plus IMI certification, costs just £349 + VAT per person, so it is a highly cost-effective option for workshops with their eye on future profit opportunities. Due to the popularity of the courses, and the highly intensive training method, spaces are extremely limited, so those wishing to take part should click here to register.
