This system is wired between the original radio and the vans speakers meaning during a call the system will […]

Audi A3 Reversing Lights Fault Mablethorpe

We was asked to take a look at this Audi A3 8P chassis, the customer complaint was no reverse lights. The bulbs had already been replaced and as such the customer didn’t know if it was the 5 amp fuse powering the reverse lights or the switch which is mounted to the gearbox. The gearbox switch is a very common part to fail on this vehicle, and as such after a diagnostic scan ( also highlighing another problem in the drivers door ) we found there was no […]

Mercedes A Class SAM Module Water Ingress Sutton-On-Sea

Water Attacked The SAM Module Causing Indicators To Stop Working

We was called out to a Mercedes A Class which had a very unusual fault, the rear right indicator and front left indicator was simply not working. We checked the usual connections at the front and rear lights and manually powered each bulb to confirm the wiring to each cluster was OK / working. We then looked at live data to confirm if we can trigger each indicator on its own and we still had the same issue. We looked into the module location […]

Ford Kuga DPF Fault Diagnostics

Correctly diagnosing a DPF fault on a Ford Kuga

A local garage had us in to confirm a DPF fault on a Ford Kuga, as you are more than likely aware DPF faults can become very expensive, very quickly if not diagnosed correctly. Due to the DPF pressures being unusally high they wanted us to check the sensor and wiring going to the ECU. We checked live data on the scan tool and used a special tool which creates a chosen refrence voltage. This refrence voltage is then confirmed on the scan tool live […]
