Apologies for the recent lack of content—we’ve been very busy in the workshop! 🔧📈

This week we had a 2015 VW Touareg in from a trade customer, needing coding and radar calibration after a replacement front radar was fitted.

Using ODIS—Volkswagen’s official dealer diagnostic platform, we:
🔐 Gained full security access to remove component protection
⚙️ Coded the new radar sensor into the system via VW servers in Germany
🎯 Calibrated the front radar to factory specification, ensuring adaptive cruise control and front assist systems function exactly as intended

Modern safety systems like these rely on precise setup—without the correct tools, they simply won’t work properly. That’s why both trade and retail customers trust us to carry out dealer-level diagnostics without the dealer price tag.

Check out this Honda Civic 1.0L we recently had in the workshop for a wetbelt replacement! 🛠️

We’ve seen a significant rise in wetbelt failures recently, so it’s more important than ever to stay on top of your servicing. For this job, we used all genuine Honda parts and made sure to thoroughly clean the sump and oil pick-up to keep everything in top condition.

Did you know? The wetbelt on these models is due at 75,000 miles or every 6 years, whichever comes first. Neglecting it can lead to severe engine damage—but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! 💪

When it comes to keeping your Honda in peak condition, Bristol’s trusted Honda Specialist is here to help. 🏆

What a busy couple of months we have had. There has been a great variety of jobs coming through our doors, from DPF assessments to routine servicing and maintenance.

Here’s one of our jobs that we recently completed for a trade customer.

A 2018 Ford Transit connect which came in as the passenger rear window was inoperative. On further inspection we had found that nothing on the passenger door actually worked which included the speakers and the central locking.

After checking the wiring to the door control module, we had found a missing LIN signal inside of the vehicle. With the customers authority we stripped the vehicle to find the damaged LIN wire and fixed the fault. Who would have thought all this damage was down to such a small wire. This is the importance of diagnosing the vehicle properly.

Wow January is nearly at an end, we’ve been very busy here at CM Automotive. Check out this Renault master we had in recently for a non start, with a logical test plan and evidence based fault finding we were quick to diagnose a burnt out connector to the low pressure fuel pump.

Did you know that we have a wide variety of dealer diagnostic tooling for many manufacturers? We always ensure they are up-to-date and ready to use.
