Not all electrical faults on vehicles are due to a component going faulty
Vehicles are like our phones and require software updates periodically to rectify a certain fault
We have the software and know how at Lushington Motors to help spot when a vehicle requires a software update and perform such operation via the manufacturer’s servers!

On the back of our last post, in the workshop also this week we had a Ford Focus with the Ecoboost engine fitted, for a routine timing belt change.
This customer was lucky as the belt was very deteriorated and would not of been long until this one would have failed and shredded its teeth!

In the workshop this week we had a Peugeot fitted with the 1.2 Pure Tech wet belt engine, had done just below 50,000 miles but because of poor servicing the timing belt had failed causing internal damage to the engine.
Genuine brand new engine fitted and this vehicle was good to go again!

Any vehicle fitted with a wet belt, it’s essential to have regular servicing with the CORRECT oil to prolong the life of the timing belt
We do lots of wet belt replacements, using genuine parts with correct tooling & specifications.

Next door in the commercial workshop, we had a Vauxhall Vivaro in with reports of strange smell when driving, white smoke and vehicle drinking AdBlue.
After an initial drive and inspection it was clear to see what the fault was, the AdBlue injector located in the exhaust had got stuck open causing AdBlue additive to be injected at an increased rate.
New injector fitted, SCR system then re-initialised, vehicle road tested, fault rectified!
Quite a common fault with vehicles that have AdBlue system fitted

Vauxhall in this week with wipers only working on high speed.
After giving the vehicle a full diagnostic scan, it revealed Can Bus communication faults to the wiper motor.
As Can Bus signals are hard to read with a normal multi meter, we used the Pico-scope to read the signals to the wiper motor, and with this we could see 3 wires had invalid communication.
Next was to trace the wiring, and eventually we found 3 wires that were corroded and broken.
Cutting out the corroded wires and making 3 new repairs, this wiper motor was back to working as it should!
