Engine quiz
It's under the bonnet of every car, truck and van (unless the vehicle is electric), how many people really know how one works? Do you know a spark plug from a fuel injector? Test your engine knowledge with our engine quiz
A car engine's job is to:
Convert fuel into heat
Convert fuel into motion
Convert fuel into exhaust
The majority of cars use a four-stroke engine. The four strokes are:
intake, compression, combustion and exhaust
injection, rotation, combustion and exhaust
injection, carburetion, rotation and exhaust
A device that works on the same principle as a car engine is:
a nuclear submarine
a giant robot
a spud gun
A crankshaft's job in an engine is to:
deliver fuel to the cylinders
change linear motion into rotational motion
keep the cylinder heads in place
A timing belt or timing chain links these two components together so that the valves are in sync with the pistons:
the flywheel to the camshaft
the crankshaft to the camshaft
the cylinder head to the camshaft
There are three basic failures that can happen in an engine: bad fuel mix, lack of compression and:
lack of exhaust
lack of water
lack of spark
In a car engine's cylinder, valves let fuel in and exhaust out. The ______ moves these valves.
camshaft
timing belt
distributor
A turbocharger is:
a set of gears that makes the wheels turn faster
a turbine that compresses the air traveling into the engine
an injector that delivers fuel to the engine faster
When you turn the key to a car, the starter motor:
sends electricity to the spark plugs, starting ignition
sends electricity to the fuel pump, forcing the car to start
spins the engine a few revolutions, starting the combustion process
When a car's engine is running, power to operate the radio, CD player, headlights and windshield wipers comes from the:
alternator
battery
spark plugs

Today I had my winter tyres fitted by Phil and his team. I waited in a nice warm room with tv while the boys worked in the cold to change my tyres. I have come to Phil for my winter tyres on two separate occasions with different vehicles and he always gets me the best deal, advises me on any concerns I have, top bloke with top customer services skills. I would without question recommend anyone to have there tyres ordered, changed and fitted here. Thanks Phil and a Merry Christmas.
