This stunning Mercedes SLS was in the workshop today for some minor repairs.
What a car!
This 2016 Audi S6 came in after another garage had scared the owner saying that the air conditioning stopped working due to a failed compressor.
Luckily the owner decided to get a second opinion.
We carried out our usual checks, we found the other garage had removed all the gas, so we pressure tested and found no leaks.
Next step was to check live data, this showed the AC control module thinking the system was empty (despite being under high pressure for leak testing).
So we started to check the pressure sensor wiring and found that the sensor was not functioning. We bypassed the sensor and checked the live data to confirm integrity of the system.
The system was regassed, a new pressure sensor fitted and the system checked.
The AC now blows freezing cold as expected and the total bill of repair was a massive saving over the approx. £2500 bill for taking the engine out and fitting a new compressor (which wouldn’t have made it work!)

Yet more special dealer tools for carrying out the job correctly.
This one is a crankshaft pulley holding tool for loosening and tightening the securing bolt to the correct torque.
Used here on a 2016 Audi Q7 when replacing the front engine casing gasket.
Mercedes w204 C class with a non start condition and no ignition lights at all.
Using our genuine Mercedes diagnostic tools we were able to diagnose the issue accurately, so we know exactly which parts are required to repair the car.
With the parts now on order, after gaining customer approval, we will program the new ignition lock module as we are the only security approved independent garage in Yeovil 👍🏻

I have the same problem but I’m in Mansfield
Mr M was having issues with his 2014 BMW 1 series, with the dreaded Sat Nav reboot sequence occurring stopping him from being able to use the radio or sat nav in his car.
Using our genuine BMW diagnostic tools, we were able to update all relevant control modules on the car.
Software conflicts on BMW’s are common place and we recommend to have your BMW updated every 2-3 years to avoid any potential problems.
We can carry out these essential updates for you, just get in touch.

Timing belts and timing chains…..
These important and crucial components that keep crankshaft and camshafts in perfect synchronisation.
🟥 However, they can sometimes fail without warning. 😢
This Skoda Octavia VRS suffered a timing chain failure causing all 8 inlet valve to get bent. This required expense repairs to get back on the road
✅ So, if your car has a timing chain, you can normally hear a slight rattle on cold start up that goes away within a second or 2, that’s an early indication that something is wrong.
✅ Or, if your car has a timing belt, follow the manufacturers recommend change intervals to avoid this.
Get in touch and we can advise you on what to do.
