Previously, the only way to get to the bottom of an electrical or mechanical issue with a vehicle was to get under the bonnet or panelling and investigate. As a result, a diagnosis could take time. Now, while this approach is still seen as invaluable in many situations, there is a much easier route to the prompt and accurate diagnosis of an issue.
Bridgend Garage is fully equipped with ECU readers which communicate directly with a vehicle’s onboard computer where fault codes are stored.
Our engineers then consult fault code directories specific to manufacturers to understand exactly what is going on with your vehicle. This allows us to find a solution quickly so that repairs can be made. Often, however, if a vehicle is fairly old or the ECU isn’t giving us everything we need, we can take a more traditional “hands-on” approach to diagnose the problem.
Across this website, we mention we are German car specialists who have been focusing our attention on this expansive range of vehicles since 1996.
When you really care about the car you drive, it pays to take it to a specialist.
We have an intricate, nuanced understanding of these vehicles, and we are familiar with the types of issues that they are prone to suffering. We are also particular when choosing replacement parts so that you don’t sacrifice the famed performance so well loved by Audi and VW owners.
If you have noticed that something is not quite right with a vehicle; perhaps there is a strange sound, smell or sensation when accelerating, braking or changing gear, or if you notice gradual or sudden changes in performance, pay our engineers a visit. We run engine diagnostics using ECU readers and under-the-bonnet investigations to confirm exactly what is causing it.
We excel in work on:
