Volkswagen Golf Plus - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - vehicle will turn over but not start.
As always our first call on the assessment is to carry out a global code scan for a direction for testing, but no faults were stored. Understanding the fundamentals of what’s required for a Diesel engine to start we found that the vehicle was lacking fuel to the high pressure fuel pump. We then moved on to testing the inputs and outputs from the supply fuel pump. The inputs for the fuel pump all tested to be correct but there was no output which leaves us with a faulty fuel pump!
New fuel pump supplied and fitted to rectify the issue.

Mercedes GLA - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - warning lights displayed on the dashboard.

New glow plugs fitted to rectify the issue.

Just a quick video insight into the testing that is carried out in our diagnostic assessments and how understanding circuitry is vital for a first time fix.

Land Rover Discovery Sport- Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint- None start and ‘AdBlue fault 0 miles till no start’ displayed on the dashboard.
As part of our initial assessment a full global code scan was carried out and over 35 fault codes were found.
We carried out our industry leading AdBlue test plan and went through the full system to verify every component.
Two faults were found that had lead to the vehicle becoming a none start. The first issue was that the urea content in the AdBlue was 33.5% and the AdBlue injector was excessively blocked not allowing AdBlue to enter the system to reduce Nox emissions.
The AdBlue system was then drained and new genuine land rover parts fitted to rectify the issue.

Citroen Berlingo - Timing belt and water pump replacement.
This customer was very lucky to escape major engine damage by seconds. The vehicle was recovered into us after the customer had noticed an excessive water leak coming from the engine. On inspection we noticed that the timing belt had cut through the timing covers and was about to fall off!
This was all caused by a failed water pump.

Ford Ranger - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - Reverse camera not working.
First off we carried out a global code scan of the vehicle, one fault code was found relating to communication with the reverse camera.
After studying a wiring diagram we started to carry out our tests, while checking the wiring to the camera we found that there was no power feed or LIN bus signal to the camera. Our next step was to see if the module was outputting correctly to the camera, this tested fine.
We then load tested the wiring harness and traced our fault to several corroded wires buried within the harness.
All wires correctly repaired to the manufacturer recommendations to rectify the issue with no parts required.
Charlie is now back from some more technical training as part of his diagnostic technician program down at TechTopics.

Nissan Elgrand - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer complaint - ABS light illuminated.
We carried out a global code scan to find that we had faults relating to the wheel speed. On road test we could see that the wheel speed would drop out on the offside front wheel speed sensor via live data.
Once the vehicle was back in the workshop we focused our attention on the speed sensor and wiring. While scoping the speed sensor we noticed that it was giving out very little amplitude. A quick bypass check and resistance measurement gave us our answer that we had a faulty sensor and our control unit and wiring were fine.
New speed sensor fitted to rectify the issue.

Peugeot 107 - Diagnostic assessment and repair.
Customer Complaint - Engine management light illuminated.
First we pulled all the fault codes from the vehicle and there was only one relating to the catalytic converter efficiency.
We carried out an extended road test to data log the vehicle and found that the post catalyst oxygen sensor was behaviour erratically.
Using a testing technique with the oscilloscope learned from recent training at TechTopics we were able to validate the oxygen sensor’s function while testing the efficiency for the catalyst. Unfortunately the catalyst failed our efficiency test.
New catalytic converter supplied and fitted to rectify the issue.
