Back on the Ford Edge, gearbox is out and the sump pan’s been removed, revealing exactly where the gasket’s been leaking.🧰 That’ll be replaced and refitted, then it’s on to removing the flywheel to get to the leaking crankshaft oil seal behind it, the last piece of the puzzle on this multiple oil leak job. ⚙️🛠️

This Ford Edge came in with multiple oil leaks, and David’s got stuck straight into it. With the subframe off and a good amount of the vehicle dismantled, he traced the leaks to two spots, the transmission oil sump and behind the rear main.🔧 To get both sorted properly, the gearbox has to come out, giving much easier access to replace the sump seal and reach the rear main crankshaft oil seal, which is the bigger of the two leaks. Once the gearbox is removed and the flywheel comes off, we’ll be able to show you exactly where that rear seal has been leaking from. 🔩🛠️

This Dacia Logan came in for regular A/C maintenance after the customer noticed the climate control wasn’t performing at its best. Our team hooked the vehicle up and carried out a full air con service, checking the system’s performance and getting it running at its optimum level. Regular maintenance like this helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger, costlier problems, keeping the cabin comfortable all year round. 🧰🛠️

This Kia Niro’s A/C wasn’t blowing cold at all, despite having brand new gas. Brendan isolated the hybrid system, tested the wiring from the control unit down to the compressor, and traced the fault to an open circuit within the compressor windings, an internal inverter failure. On these hybrids the compressor comes in two parts, and with an inverter at nearly £1,000 and a compressor at £1,200, a full replacement runs close to £2,200. Luckily, only the inverter needs replacing here. 🧰🛠️

Excellent diagnostic work, Brendan! 👨🏾‍🔧⚙️

This Citroën C4 came to us with an engine warning light. Diagnostics flagged a misfire and a cylinder 2 ignition coil control circuit fault. Matthew got stuck in, swapped the coil packs to rule that out, then stripped it down for a compression and leak-down test, all cylinders came back at a healthy 150 PSI. Digging deeper into the spark plugs, cylinder 3 was wet and heavily carboned up, and hidden inside was a tiny hairline crack causing the misfire. ⚙️🛠️ New spark plugs are on the way, and once fitted, the misfire counters and spark plug relearn will be reset to get this customer safely back on the road.🧰🧑‍🔧

These fuel injectors are in the middle of a two-stage ultrasonic cleaning process to remove stubborn carbon build-up from the injector tips. ⚙️👨🏽‍🔧

A clean injector means better fuel flow, smoother performance, and improved efficiency. Once the cleaning is complete, they’ll be refitted and the vehicle will be tested to make sure it’s running as it should. 🛠️

This car rolled in with a rough idle that just wouldn’t settle, hunting up and down no matter what. The customer had already replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor, spark plugs, and MAP sensor trying to chase it down, but none of it made a difference. So Brandon stripped it back to get a proper look, and found the real issue: the intake valves were badly carboned up, along with the direct injectors themselves a common problem on direct-injection engines where fuel never gets the chance to wash over the back of the valves.👷🏽‍♂️🧰

With the injectors out getting an ultrasonic clean and a deep carbon clean underway on the valves, it’s all coming together for a full clean-up before it goes back for testing. A great example of how a rough idle isn’t always a sensor issue, sometimes it just comes down to good old carbon buildup that no part-swapping will fix.🛠️⚙️

With the actuator fitted and the special tool locked behind both sets of brake shoes, this VW ID.3 is getting the adjustment set to perfection! As the tool pushes out to the correct setting, it locks in place, confirming the adjustment is spot on. Drum going back on next, actuator plugged back in, and this one should fire right up with the handbrake working exactly as it should for the customer. ⚙️🛠️ It’s not guesswork, it’s having the right tooling for these new EVs that makes all the difference.🔧The full fix🛠🔩

Great work as always, Matthew! 👏👷‍♂️

This VW ID.3 rolled in as a non-start after over a week waiting on parts, and our tech Matthew got straight into it! He identified the parking brake actuator had failed, tested it against a new one and found zero continuity on the old motor, a clear sign it was dead.🧰🧑‍🔧 With the vehicle up and the brakes stripped down, the actuator came off and the new component went in. These ID.3s need a special tool to carry out the adjustment, so Matthew’s using it to set the air gap correctly and get the parking brake working exactly as it should. ⚙️🛠️

✅ Non-start diagnosed
✅ Faulty parking brake actuator identified and tested
✅ New actuator fitted
✅ Air gap adjustment carried out with specialist tool
