Engine Diagnostics, DPF & AdBlue Fault Finding

Reading a fault code is only the first step—interpreting live sensor data is what fixes the car without wasting money on unnecessary parts. We use latest-generation Snap-on and SUN diagnostic platforms.

Warning Lights & Live Data

Engine management (EML), ABS, airbag (SRS), traction control, and limp-mode tracing. We test wiring continuity, boost leaks, fuel rail pressure, and sensor outputs rather than guessing.

DPF Regeneration & EGR Valves

Blocked Diesel Particulate Filters from short Medway town trips? We check differential pressure sensors, glow plugs, and thermostats before performing static/dynamic DPF regeneration or deep cleaning.

AdBlue & NOx Sensor Faults

Diagnosing 'No Engine Start in XXX Miles' AdBlue warnings, crystallised injectors, faulty tank heaters, and upstream/downstream NOx sensors across cars and Transit/Sprinter vans.

Common Questions

Why did my AdBlue warning stay on after I topped up the tank? +

Modern SCR/AdBlue systems often require a diagnostic reset once topped up, or the warning may be triggered by a faulty NOx sensor, level sensor, or blocked injector rather than low fluid.

Can a blocked DPF cause an MOT failure? +

Yes. A dashboard DPF warning light, visible smoke from a diesel exhaust, or signs that a DPF has been tampered with or removed is an automatic MOT failure.
