Audi A6 - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - ‘chuffing’ noise from around the engine compartment.
Customer complaint verified and narrowed down the noise to be coming from around bank 2 cylinder head. We suspected the issue to be a poorly seated injector but there were no visual signs.
Using the oscilloscope we were able to carry out a relative compression test which showed one cylinder to be slightly down on compression, coupled with an injector sync we could then pinpoint the exact injector at fault.
New genuine seals replaced to rectify the customers issue.
A quick video to demonstrate just one of the testing methods that were carried out in our diagnostic assessment for interior heating issues.
Our assessment’s require much more than just ‘plugging the computer in’.
Ford Ranger - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - erratic dashboard and exterior lights.
The customer complaint was verified and a full global code scan carried out which revealed no faults.
Our next step was to study wiring diagrams and look for anything in common between the systems.
This lead us to carrying out a volt drop test on the earth circuit which revealed voltage that shouldn’t be present. Access to manufacturer information allowed us to quickly locate the broken earth point on the vehicle.
Both earth points repaired to rectify the issue with no parts needed.
Peugeot 3008 in the workshop for a ECU software update to rectify the engine management light been illuminated.
All carried out using our genuine Peugeot diagnostic equipment and saved the customer from a 3 week waiting list at the main dealer.
Peugeot 308 - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - Engine management light illuminated.
The issue was relating to a camshaft sensor fault, using the oscilloscope to view the operation of the camshaft sensors we could quickly see an issue with the intake camshaft sensor not been pulled down.
Using a test light we could soon prove the wiring and control unit integrity giving us confidence a new sensor will rectify the issue.
New genuine sensor fitted to cure the issue.

Mercedes - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - Suspension stuck in the lowest position and won’t rise.
We carried out a global diagnostic scan of all the systems with no faults found. This led us to watching live data to monitor all suspension related items, where we found that the suspension pressure was lower than expected.
The wheel arch liner was then removed to gain access to the suspension compressor. On initial start up the pump was not operating, a bypass test was then carried out to prove the integrity of the wiring and control unit using manufacturer wiring diagrams.
New genuine compressor was fitted and adaptions reset to rectify the issue.

Audi RSQ3 - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - ‘headlight distance control defective’
While monitoring all live data related to the headlight control we found that the ride high level was implausible. Further investigation lead us to find 4.8v on the signal wire of the rear ride height level sensor. Using a sensor simulator we were able to bypass the sensor with a know good value to prove that the sensor was at fault before replacing the part.
Genuine ride height level sensor fitted and adaptions carried out to rectify the issue.
