Customer called about their car suddenly feeling like it's going to break down while driving back home. They became to scared to drive it as it was spontaneously very rough at idle, and threw an engine light.
Came by to check if it could be a quick diagnose and fix on the spot.
After having a look at the ECU with the scan tool, we determined the MAF sensor was not reading correctly.
We gave it a clean with the correct cleaner, as sometimes that is all the fixing this particular sensor requires.
We were unsuccessful fixing the old sensor by cleaning it, but was able to source a replacement the next day.
Cleared all codes after replacing the sensor, and took this cx5 for a test drive straight after

Your car shows signs when the battery is on its way out. Sometimes it could die much quicker then expected, before you're ready to have time to replace it.
Batteries have a normal life spam of 2 to 4 years these days. So it's important to be aware of these signs so you don't get stuck somewhere without help.
Usual signs include:
- Struggle start, will crank for longer then normal.
- Dash lights flicker when turning car on.
- Can effect vehicle overall performance.

If you're worried your battery may be on its way out, don't hesitate to give us a call or message us to do a battery and system check.

Intermediate service completed on this BT50, due to excessive driving conditions.
Installed secondary fuel filter previously, customer has since decided to have us install a catch can, to prolong the engine and surrounding components life.
This is a cheap insurance to prevent oil deposits building up in turbo charging system and inlet manifold.

💥UPDATE💥

Diagnosed a broken window regulator on this Santa Fe, was the cause for the window suddenly dropping. This is common on older vehicles. Customer opted for us to search for a second hand window regulator as replacement. It was easy enough to find, but needed to wait for its arrival in the mail.
Replacement second hand window regulator was fitted and tested.

Got a call in the afternoon about this customers window suddenly dropping down and not going back up.
We were happy to inspect the problem, as we wouldn't want them to have a window left down through the night.
After pulling the door trim off and visually inspecting the inside of the door, we found the windows regulator cable had snapped. Which for older cars in very common.
We were able to source a replacement second hand regulator for this model, but we needed to wait for its arrival through the post.
While we wait for its arrival, we propped the window up safely. Tune in for when we replace this windows regulator.

Apon booking in for a service, Vehicle owner was aware it had some issues that needed fixing as it was no longer driving well.
We found the car was driving rough with a heavy misfire. After replacing the spark plugs, we found that cylinder 3 spark plug had more wear then the rest. This was caused by cylinder 3 coil pack being burnt out. We had also found it was desperate for brakes to be replaced as the rears were leaking brake fluid from excessive wear.
Customer was quoted and booked in for additional repairs to be made soon after.
Keep an eye out for the updated post of repairs!
