Couldn’t have been any closer 🙃
Mercedes AMG C43 in with auxiliary battery malfunction warning message.
After checking diagnostics, we had a fault code for “auxiliary battery, general electrical fault”.
This information was not enough to diagnose correctly. So access to the battery was gained by removing the front carpet and plastic protection panel.
Testing of the wiring showed we had no voltage in or out of the battery unit. So next was to trace the fault in the power supply, which comes from the electronic fuse box in the boot area (rear SAM module), also full of various voltage fault codes.
A blown fuse was found and replaced. Now we had the battery being charged and after running the car, we had a stable output from the battery when switched off confirming the system was functioning.
Carpet refitted, faults cleared and vehicle all fixed.

Since working in Merc I've definitely decided the AMG C43 is my favourite model . Really nice drive quick but not too over the top . Great fix Tom .
Nice work 👌🏻. Lovely car
Best car surgeons I ever did see.
Another grand job done.
The engine warning light on this Mercedes CLA has been annoying the owner for a while, with several attempts by other garages to repair, that have not worked and cost the owner £££‘s in repairs that hadn’t resolved it.
Using a methodical testing procedure, backed up with training and experience, leads us to diagnose the problem quickly and efficiently.
In this case, a new EGR cooler.
Another B7 RS4 in for a service and investigation of why the EPC light was on in the dash.
After carrying out plenty of testing and checks it was found to have issues with the inlet manifold swirl flaps.
The manifold was removed, flaps removed, engine carbon cleaned and manifold refitted. Followed up with an MRC Tuning stage 2 remap, this RS4 has been given a new lease of life. The car is transformed and feels really good to drive now.
A beautiful day and a beautiful car.
This lovely Tesla Model S was in today for an MOT. Hopefully, we will start to see a few more of these coming through the doors being the only local garage to be HEVRA certified and also EV trained to carry out repairs and service work.
This stunning 4.2 V8 RS4 came in for a few diagnostic gremlins to be identified. However, during our initial inspection of the car (for general road safety), we noticed the car had an oil leak from the engine.
We identified the parts required to fix, gave the customer an estimate for repair and once we got authority to continue, we started to dismantle.
The pictures show the steel crimps virtually non existent on the oil cooler hoses. This was so close to causing a catastrophic engine failure that would have cost the owner £1000’s!
Luckily, we know these cars inside out and have prevented the imminent failure of the engine.

This Audi A5 TFSI came into us as a non start. The customer had done some testing themselves and found the engine had no compression.
We investigated and found that the camshaft timing was out of time. This had caused internal engine damage and bent the valves.
After getting authority to repair, the engine was taken apart and the inlet valves replaced, all new timing chains, tensioners and guide rails were replaced and all other parts refitted using new bolts/gaskets/seals as necessary.
The car now runs perfectly 👍🏻
2015 VW Transporter in this week for some repairs and we found this totally insecure rear shock absorber during our routine vehicle safety check.
Most VAG suspension bolts are once use only, so we now keep a stock of our common use bolts and nuts. So we refitted the shock absorber using new fixings within minutes, getting this van back on the road ASAP!

That was a close one.
2015 Audi A4 2.0 TDI in for cambelt and water pump replacement using genuine parts followed by bleeding of the cooling system using diagnostic equipment.
If a jobs worth doing.........
We literally live, breath and eat Volkswagen.
These are the sausages produced at the VW factory in Wolfsburg and served to the staff each day. They have a unique part number 199 398 500 A and there are more than 6.8 million produced every year!!
Volkswagen produce more sausages per year than any other product or part!
The sausages and ketchup also taste great!
Comment on Facebook We literally live, ...
Watched about this on Richard Hammond's big did a tour of the Wolfsburg factory along with the production of the sausages
Bought a load of these when we went to Wolfsburg a few years back. Would love to find a UK supplier.
Will you be giving your customers a free sausage every time they have their car serviced
Can you order me a pack next time you order some please?!? I’ll have a gasket set and side repeater to go with please?!?
What are the emissions from the pan like?
Great, just fancying a currywurst. Looks a like I need to order some. Sausage Man looks a likely source.
Let me know when you're cooking Tom and I'll be happy to sample one...!
If love to try these.
German sausage jokes they're the Wurst.
