We start our glossary of common English terms in the day to day of the workshops.English is the universal language of tourism, advertising, technology... and the automotive industry.Every day, after-sales professionals use Anglo-Saxon terms to refer to different parts and processes of the vehicle.Some are fully assimilated, such as the ABS (Antilock Brake System) or anti-lock brake system, but in other cases it is more difficult to know what a steering damper (steering damper) or a multihole nozzle (multiple injector) is.To help professionals understand the English terms used in manuals and web pages of distributors and manufacturers, we have compiled the terms of the Servidor-alicante.com Automotive Glossary and divided them into 24 sections, one for each letter of the alphabet.Today we start with the terms that begin with A:ABS braking device: Anti-lock braking systemAC generator: DC generatorAccelerator cable: Throttle cableAccelerator pedal: Accelerator pedalAccelerator pump: Acceleration pumpAccumulator: Battery, accumulatorAcid level: Acid levelAcorn nut: Threaded capAdjuster bolt: Adjustment screwAdjustment ferrule: Adjustment bushingAdjustment link: Adjustment rodAdjustment rod: Adjustment rodAdvance ignition: Advance ignitionAerodynamic drag factor: Coefficient of aerodynamic resistanceAir adjustment screw: Air mixture adjustment screwAir chamber: Chamber of air (does not refer to the one of the tires)Air cleaner: Air filterAir compressor: Air compressorAir control: Air controlAir cooling: Air cooledAir deflector: Air deflectorAir distribution switch: Air distribution controlAir filter: Air filterAir flap valve: Air flap valveAir flow sensor: Volumetric air sensorAir funnel: Air ductAir leak: Leakage or entry of airAir resistance: Aerodynamic resistanceAir temperature: Air temperatureAir temperature control system: Air temperature control systemAirflow meter: Air flowmeterAirflow sensor plate: Air flow meter sensorAlcohol based fuels: Fuels with an alcohol mixtureAlternator pulley: Alternator beltAngle lock: Closing angleAntileaf mesh: Protection mesh against leavesAnti-clockwise: Counter-clockwise directionArmature coil: Ignition coilArmature spindle: Armature shaftArmature winding: Armature windingATDC: Before top dead centerAutomatic adjustment: Automatic adjustmentAutomatic advance: Automatic ignition advanceAutomatic transmission filter: Automatic gearbox control systemAuxiliary air valve: Auxiliary air valveAxle stands: Axle stand.© 2023 Infocap Communication & Publishing, SL All rights reserved.I forgot my passwordThe best information service since 2007 - Workshops, Sheet Metal and Painting, Tires, Spare Parts, VI
