Mechatronic VW Transmission repairs

Towed in with no drive, diagnosed with a failed Mechatronic unit in the transmission.  Customer very happy to have a mechanical Warranty as these parts are complex and don’t come cheap.  Our supplier sent this out pre-programmed.  Still required the use of our Ross-Tech to do a relearn and set adaptations etc.

Old and the new, matching up and using special tools to get the gear selection correct before fitting new ‘Mechatronic’.

Wellington European New-Toys, Ross-Tech VAGCOM scan tool

Our latest tool for 2017 is the Ross-Tech VW/Audi Diagnostic

VCDS will perform most of the functions of the expensive electronic diagnostic tools available only to official dealers. In the past, these dealership-only tools have prevented owners, and many small independent repair shops from performing some fundamental tasks, such as diagnosing problems, diesel ignition timing, modification of convenience options such as automatic door unlocking, coding a replacement Electronic Control Unit (ECU) or key to the vehicle, and monitoring of many vehicle sensors for diagnosing problems. Unlike generic scan tools (OBD II or EOBD), VCDS uses the more in-depth Volkswagen Group-specific manufacturer protocol commands,  which allows the user to access all diagnostic capable vehicle systems — even in vehicles which are not covered by generic OBD-II/EOBD

VCDS is also capable of interfacing vehicles which use the generic OBD-II/EOBD protocols. However, the OBD-II and EOBD standards only allow for limited diagnostics, and no adjustments to any of the ECUs.

 

So our new Ross Tech tool (wireless laptop based) has been added to our growing number of Scan Tools.

We have an ‘Auto diagnos’, an English based tool, handy on our large number of P38 Range Rover customers

‘Autel’, A great all round tool for British, European and Japanese vehicles, tablet based wireless control

Autologic, often considered to be the Ferrari of scan tools, ours is loaded with the mainstream British and Euro brands, good for diagnostics, activations, coding etc

My techs also have of their own, a ‘Launch’ and a ‘snap-on’.
