Parts are replaced by guesswork.
First the sensor, then the control unit, and the fault is still there. You still paid for it.

Does this sound familiar?
Many faults cannot be solved by replacing parts blindly. The important step is to check the vehicle signals and explain what they mean.
Nobody explains what is actually happening.
You get a part and an invoice, but no clear reason.
The warning light comes back.
The symptom disappears briefly, but the cause was never found. The problem returns.
Clear diagnosis in three steps
01
Request and symptoms
You describe the problem. I tell you in advance whether VCDS diagnosis makes sense.
02
On-site diagnosis
Full VCDS scan of all reachable control units, with targeted measuring value and adaptation checks.
03
Documented report
You receive a clear PDF report: faults, technical assessment and recommendation, useful for your workshop too.
Log analysis · Vorher / Nachher
Send your own VCDS logs and trace changes clearly.
If you already have an Auto-Scan or an older VCDS log, I can review it in advance. A before and after comparison is especially useful if functions are missing after coding, a control unit replacement or a workshop visit.
- Analyse faults before an appointment is needed
- detect changed coding or adaptations
- use old coding as a basis for restoration
- clear assessment: remote review or on-site diagnosis
Traceable evidence: existing Auto-Scans, measuring values and coding states are reviewed clearly. Personal and vehicle data are removed before publication.
