We’ve had an absolutely exhausting few days in the workshop! 😅
In the last few days we’ve repaired:
🔧 A VW Sharan needing a new NOx absorbing catalyst, previously diagnosed as a DPF issue!
🔧 A Ford Transit that had previously had a DPF delete and dodgy remap, once restored the underlying issue identified as a faulty engine coolant thermostat
🔧 A Ford C-Max with a failed DPF, sent to us from a fast fit centre “requiring a DPF clean”
🔧 A Peugeot with a failed DPF causing NOx efficiency faults, from a car sales company after fitting NOX sensor & adblue injector!
🔧 A Mercedes with an overheated DPF caused by air/fuel ratio issues, identified during routine service by ourselves.
🔧 A Ford Transit requiring a replacement rear back box due to corrosion, identified as part of our industry leading multi point health check.
The good news?
✅ All fixed
✅ All running correctly
✅ All back to manufacturer standards
What frustrates us is how often we see vehicles that have had DPF deletes, emissions systems removed or poor-quality remaps fitted to mask a fault.
The owner is usually told it’s a cheaper solution.
The reality?
Most of the time it ends up costing far more to put right afterwards than it would have done to simply diagnose and repair the fault correctly in the first place.
At Intelligent Auto we don’t delete systems and hope for the best.
We test.
We diagnose.
We prove the fault.
Then we fix it properly.
Because fixing the cause is always better than hiding the symptom.
