This gorgeous looking Audi TT came to us with the customer after some aesthetic enhancement, and a performance improvement.
H&R suspension springs coupled with an alignment correction front and rear, the customer left with a smile on his face.
Please contact us if you would like any performance suspension upgrades or if you simply would like an alignment check/adjustment.
The environment is important to us. We like to dispose of waste in the correct way to protect the world, now and in the future.
Thanks to Oil Salvage Ltd for taking away our waste oils today.
2012 Seat Leon had been in recently with its DSG gearbox not working correctly.
The DQ200 or 0AM gearbox can be a tricky and fussy item. With many internal parts unable to be bought from the dealers.
However, using the correct diagnostic tools, followed up with factory repair instructions and using the genuine tools, we carried out the repair to the gearbox to get this car back on the road.

Now this is something you don’t see very often!
A seven speed manual gearbox as fitted to this 991 Porsche C4S.
The manual gearbox was standard fit, but later removed from sale. The manual version of the car was 0.5 seconds slower 0-60mph, despite being 45kg lighter than the PDK (dual clutch) gearbox equipped car!

Our ‘72 bus was like that. Think it had 15 gears and couldn’t find any of them 😂
Is it a mountain bike😁
This is a genuine Fast and Furious car, they all have around 7 gears too 😂

It'll get a few more MPG than mine! Made use of this facility on a few occasions. Always VERY clean and tidy!
2017 VW Transporter came in with an exhaust smell and noise. We traced it to a split EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) pipe.
They have clearly had a big issue with the occurrences of this, as the new pipe has been significantly redesigned and constructed in a different way.
Time will tell, but it’s nice and quiet now and doesn’t smell when driving!
2014 Mercedes C class W205 in from a local garage to have a new xenon headlight coded to the vehicle using our dealer diagnostic tools.
Without this important coding, the headlight does not function.
We are the only company within the Yeovil area to be able to do this officially with Xentry diagnostics. (That we know of!)
We welcome any trade or retail customers that require online SCN coding of new parts.
2015 Jeep Cherokee in from one of the local garages we work closely with. This was a non start vehicle with no fault codes stored. Extensive training and testing lead us to do the tests required to find the issue.
On this example, despite the vehicle displaying on live data an engine speed (usually taken directly and only from the crankshaft position sensor), it was a substitute value based on the reading from the camshaft position sensor.
Using an oscilloscope, it was clear to see that we had a signal issue on the crankshaft sensor. After many hours of disassembly, we found the culprit.
Part of the magnetic impulse reluctor was missing causing a total loss of signal. New part fitted, vehicle reassembled and the engine fired straight up. ✅✅

Great work from Tom and the guys at RCMR, I would highly recommend using them for anything from a service to a major engine overhaul, and everything in between! 👍👍😎
Top work 👌
Great find 👍
Diagnostics. Yes, we charge £70+vat. But we don’t just read the codes, print and clear them.
We evaluate and investigate the cause of the light being on, whether it needs wiring checked and tested, components checked and tested, adaptations carried up, software update, technical bulletins checked, inlet tract smoke tested etc, and then advised on how to proceed to cure the fault and not have it come back on (for the same reason!).
It also pays for our experience, which in this example, saved the vehicle owner a fortune.
This customers Audi A3 had been elsewhere for a cheaper garage (£30 diagnostics fee) to check over. They came back with a diagnosis that the car needed a new air flow sensor and turbo replaced. Luckily the owner sought a second opinion.
After seeing the stored fault codes, checking and evaluating the live data available and carrying out a smoke test, the cause of the poor running was found.
The oil level dipstick had the part circled, including the sealing ring totally missing, causing a large air leak into the engine. £12 for a new dipstick and it’s fixed.
No new air flow sensor or turbo replaced!
Comment on Facebook Diagnostics. Yes, we...
That's why our car only goes to rcmr Vikki Miell won't have anyone else touch it not even audi main dealer 🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

RCMR look after the cars in our family, very highly recommend.
Thank you so much 🥰 running like new! I’ll be back! x
Audi RS7 being fitted with new genuine front brake discs and uprated Ferodo DS2500 brake pads to drastically improve the original brakes which were feeling a little lacking compared to its performance!
2017 Golf R in for Haldex service.
The Haldex unit is part of the 4 wheel drive system fitted to most modern 4 motion VW’s. It requires a service every 3 years.
According to VW, the service involves just draining and refilling the oil. Dead easy and cheap enough.
However, specialists like us see the downside of this low level servicing. The oil breaks down over time and the deposits block the hydraulic pumps fine gauze. This in turn leads to failure of the pump and potentially damaging the Haldex clutches.
During a Haldex service with us, we carry out the additional job of removing the pump, cleaning the pump and the area of the Haldex system where the pump sits. We then also carry out a reset of the adaptations in the control unit so that the 4 wheel drive works at its best.
Whilst we charge a little bit more than the VW dealer for this to be done (we use genuine parts), we actually go above and beyond to prevent your car having future problems.
All this done for £125 inc vat. Get it done correctly before it costs you a lot more!!

Nice to see someone going that extra mile to do things properly.
Shocked to see how filthy that is for a 2017 plate car.
Doing the job correctly 👏🏻
Only way to do it mate, that’s why you have the reputation you have
Friction plate material ?
