VW Audi Diagnostic Tools | Audi VW Volkswagen Skoda Seat Independent Specialist London

The dreaded day’s arrived! A dashboard warning light just came on in your Škoda, SEAT, Audi or VW. The symbols mean your car’s intelligent technology is shouting ‘Help!’

We can! If you’re lucky, it’s a tyre pressure or washer warning. But that illuminated symbol could mean serious faults with the engine, brake system or electronic control units. Unfortunately, despite modern cars’ remarkable dependability, faults occur – and never at a convenient time.

We diagnose the faults that others can’t

When those dashboard warning lights and symbols appear, our skilled VW, Audi, SEAT ŠKODA specialists can help. We won’t just throw your money at changing parts in the hope of solving the problem either. Instead, our team has fine-tuned (constantly updated) skills, the latest diagnostic tools and years of experience with VW Audi cars. They’re honest technicians who accurately diagnose what’s wrong with your Golf or Audi A4 and fix it.

Whether that warning light is in an old Volkswagen Golf or the high-tech virtual cockpit of your Audi R8 Coupé, we can help. That’s because we’re one of London’s top Audi VW diagnostic specialists.

We’re also skilled at accurately interpreting fault codes, and diagnosing and curing the problems others misdiagnose. We usually rectify faults first time too. And before you call, did we mention labour rates up to 50% less than at main dealers?

Diagnosis and rectification of your car problem starts when you contact our helpful North London team.

Trusting us with your car doesn’t mean missing out on diagnostic tools used by main VW Audi dealers. Just like main dealers, we’re fully licensed for full access to manufacturer resources such as the worldwide VAG Offboard Diagnostic Information System (ODIS) and Audi Digital Service Schedule (ADSS).

Lots of garages use VCDS (VAG-COM Diagnostic System), but fewer have ODIS. Your intermittent problem may only happen on wet West London mornings. However, with our ODIS access, solutions to problems with things such as the following could come from driver experiences around the world:

• Engine management
• Airbag systems
• Oil pressure
• ‘Check Engine’ warnings
• Traction control
• Power steering
• Cruise control
• Tyre pressure
• Cooling system
• ABS braking system

Though they may seem unfathomable to you, years of experience means we quickly interpret Audi A6 warning lights, the Audi TT engine management light, symbols that point to Audi Allroad suspension problems and hundreds of other fault codes and warning light combinations.

What sets our diagnostic and fault-finding skills apart?

What differentiates us from many independents is our skill at going beyond warning lights and fault codes to interpret and diagnose faults. Anyone can buy equipment to access and read fault codes. Of course, the hard part is making sense of their story. That’s what we’re good. And it’s why we have such an impressive first-time fault rectification record.

Here’s what one customer said recently about our diagnosis and fault-finding:

‘These guys were nothing but helpful, and have fixed a major engine problem with my Audi A3.  [Another London Audi dealership] were not only unable fix my car they couldn’t even diagnose the fault, and wanted me to buy a whole new engine.  Chris and Peter arranged for my car to be picked up from [them], and kept me up to date when carrying out all the work.  I am now happily back on the road. 2 big learnings, don’t get ripped off by main dealers, and use guys who are proper technicians. All round great service.’ – John Prescott (via Google Reviews)

The most important thing is to call your breakdown service and/or us as fast as possible. If your car goes into ‘limp mode’ or ‘get you home mode’, please don’t drive further than absolutely necessary with warning lights and symbols illuminated. Your car is using its sophisticated systems to compensate for a problem, but only to get you to a specialist repairer.

When your VW or Audi engine warning light illuminates, we can get useful data. What’s more, we can interpret data from your car’s systems and fix the fault. Maybe our ‘first-time fix’ record is why so many other garages in Harrow and North West London entrust us with fault diagnosis. Yes, we offer a trade service too.
