Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to remove and install engine assemblies fitted to light vehicles. It involves preparing for the task, removing and installing the engine assembly, performing post-installation testing, and completing workplace processes and documentation.

It applies to those working in the automotive service and repair industry. The engine assemblies include those of light vehicles, motorcycles or light commercial vehicles.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

remove and install:

one front wheel drive engine assembly with water cooling

one rear wheel drive engine assembly with water cooling.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to removing and installing light vehicle engines, including procedures for:

using engine lifting devices and supporting equipment

handling oils, fuels and coolant

environmental requirements, including procedures for trapping, storing and disposing of oils, fluids, coolants and gases released from engine assemblies

licensing requirements relating to removing and installing engines fitted with alternative fuels and energy sources

methods of disconnecting related systems, including:

air conditioning system

cooling system

electrical systems

exhaust system

fuel system

power steering system

transmission systems, including:

automatic transmission

manual transmission

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to the light vehicle engine assemblies that they have removed and installed, e.g. repair orders.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

automotive repair workplace or simulated workplace

workplace instructions

manufacturer light vehicle engine assembly specifications

two different light vehicle engine assemblies as specified in the performance evidence

tools, equipment and materials appropriate for removing and installing light vehicle engine assemblies, including engine lifting devices and supporting equipment.
