How your car works: Your guide to the components & systems of modern cars, including hybrid & electric vehicles (RAC Handbook)

Description:

A comprehensive guided tour under the skin of the car. Diesel, petrol (gasoline), electric, hybrid and alternative propulsions are all dissected and explained in a reader-friendly manner, and as you move from the engine to the tailpipe, you'll discover what an exciting world there is within the car. Organised in intuitive chapters and backed with colourful illustrations and cutaways, this book describes the systems and parts that make your car move. Without emphasising the ‘boring' science bits, it discusses the practical application of various automotive terms, and explains why having more of one thing and less of another is beneficial in the real world. Whether you're just curious, or wish to become a better car owner, this book will start you on an exciting journey.

'…a concise and comprehensive guide…' --Car Mechanics

A basic guide to what does what and why, and how to keep it that way! From types of bodywork to types of powerplant and ignition to emission, the book explains just enough to make you conversant enough to make that phone call for professional help. This booklet is part of a series published by Veloce for the Royal Automobile Club in the UK which will reward readers commitment to wanting to help themselves by learning more about their car with a 20% discount on their next service call! It is small enough to fit into the glove box and even coat pocket but obviously you'll want to read it before you ever need it! This is a very basic treatise and focused on mechanical and electrical processes and principles, not a long-winded pondering about how cars have shaped the history and direction of our society. It avoids jargon but does assign correct names to the various bits so you can with some measure of confidence hold your own when the stern-faced driver of the breakdown truck wants to know why you called him out in the middle of the night. Everything that makes a car work as intended is described in simple terms, shedding light on the inner workings of parts or components and how they relate to others. Linde, a committed DIYer with a Master of Sciences in Car Engineering not only knows what does what and why but can explain it so that you can too. A particular interest of his is the electric car which is why this book includes all manners of propulsion: diesel, gasoline, electric, fuel cell, hybrid and, in passing, possible future alternatives. --qbookshop dot com
