Audi Q3 Electric Seat Upgrade 🔧

Another OEM+ upgrade completed on this Audi Q3.

The customer had purchased a set of electric seats and brought the vehicle to us to carry out the wiring and installation. We completed the job while they waited, so they could get straight back on the road without leaving the vehicle with us.

A clean, factory-style upgrade using genuine equipment. ⚡️

2017 Škoda Yeti — Composite Media Digitiser Replacement 🔧

This 2017 Škoda Yeti came to us with two very common issues on this type of Composite Media unit:

⏰ Time synchronisation fault — the clock would not synchronise with the speedometer, displaying 0:00 or 6:28.

📱 Touchscreen failure — the digitiser had started to fail, making the touchscreen unreliable and difficult to use.

We carried out a Composite Media digitiser replacement and resolved the time synchronisation issue, restoring the system to full working order.

These faults are becoming increasingly common on VW Group vehicles, but with the right diagnostic equipment and expertise, they can often be repaired without replacing the entire unit.

This 66-plate VW Golf Mk7 came to us following a front-end accident that required replacement of the front radar sensor.

The customer supplied the replacement radar. We removed Component Protection (CP), parametrised the new radar, carried out a full calibration, and completed all necessary checks.

The vehicle is now back on the road with no fault codes and the driver assistance systems operating correctly.
