Task/s to be To complete this written assessment, you will need to answer the 51 questions comprising
assessed of Multiple Choice, True and False, Fill-in the Gap and Short Answer questions.
Location This theory assessment will be completed in a classroom under the supervision of a
trainer/assessor.
Decision making To receive a ‘satisfactory’ outcome for this assessment students MUST successfully answer
rules all questions. If a student achieves less than 100%, they can reattempt the assessment
after further study has taken place. Students who cannot achieve a minimum of 100% you
will not have satisfactorily completed this assessment
Your assessor will be looking for the following in this assessment task: -
Work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS)
requirements relating to diagnosing and repairing exhaust systems, including
procedures for working with hot components and exhaust systems producing toxic
gases
Operating principles of features of exhaust systems and associated components,
including scavenging and back pressure
Application, purpose and operation of exhaust systems and components, including:
o Mufflers
o Extractor pipes
o Catalytic converters
o Diesel particulate filters
Diagnostic testing procedures for exhaust systems, including:
o Exhaust leak testing
o Vibration and noise locating procedures
o Back pressure testing
Repair procedures for exhaust systems, including procedures for removing,
replacing and aligning components

Results/Re- The Assessor will grade the assessment and record the result on the front page of
assessment this document (S) – Satisfactory if all observable behaviours are correct and (NS)
not satisfactory if any areas are left incorrect
Feedback will be provided on either result
Where a student receives a ‘NS – Not Satisfactory’ result, the assessor will discuss
the area of the non-compliant observable behaviour and an opportunity given for re-
assessment. This may be through direct observation or a different method of
assessment e.g. verbal/oral questioning, problem solving exercise.
If the outcome is again not satisfactory the student result will be deemed (NYC) not
yet competent. Additional feedback will be given, and a time agreed upon for further
assessment after additional training and skills practice has taken place, this
information will be recorded, dated and signed in the re-assessment area on the
last page of this document
Where all the assessment tasks have been graded (S) Satisfactory, the student will
be deemed C – Competent for the practical component and the result recorded and
signed in the area indicated on the last page of this document
Reasonable If the participant is unable to undertake the written assessment as designed, an interview
Adjustment (verbal questioning) may be used as an alternate approach.

18. What are the two (2) benefits of using aluminised and stainless steel in muffler
construction?
Utilising these materials decrease unit weight and prolongs their lives.
☒ True or ☐ False
☒ True or ☐ False
A resonator or silencer.
☒ True or ☐ False
24. Explain how exhaust headers increase the engine’s volumetric efficiency?
The goal of performance exhaust headers is mainly to decrease flow resistance (back
pressure), and to increase the volumetric efficiency of an engine, resulting in a gain in power
output. The processes occurring can be explained by the gas laws, specifically the ideal gas
law and the combined gas law.
It decreases carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon hydrocarbons (HC), and nitrogen oxides
(NOX). The converter also aims to minimise the noise at exhaust.
☒ True or ☐ False
☒ True or ☐ False

☒ True or ☐ False
34. The diesel particulate filter is fitted with a sensor that measures exhaust backpressure. How
does this operate?
Back pressure to exhaust increases the as ash builds up in the philtre. If the sensor alerts
the PCM that it has reached a specified backpressure limit, the PCM will order the fuel
injection to spray an additional volume of fuel. The extra fuel heats up the catalytic oxidation
converter, and the fire in the PM philtre will melt off the ash. The amount of time the PCM
uses fuel to cleanse the philtre is called the regeneration period.
☒ True Or ☐ False
36. What is the most effective way to identify the source of an exhaust leak?
The use of smoke machine is one of the most efficient methods of determining inside the
device the causes of a leak. As smoke is delivered to the exhaust pipe, a sign of smoke
reveals the cause of the leak.
☒ True or ☐ False
☒ True or ☐ False
