Computer aided fault diagnosis is a real minefield these days. Many garages have the equipment, but few know how to use it.
Here at Wheelers Chipping Norton, we have the expertise to diagnose faults with your car with the minimum of fuss. We have various diagnostic equipment including systems from Snap-On (all makes), Delphi (all makes), Renault Clip (Renault, Dacia and Nissan), VAGcom (VW/Audi/Skoda/Seat) and others which enable us, in combination with the right know-how, to diagnose the majority of makes and models on the market.
Many modern cars have a cambelt. This is a belt that keeps the engine components turning in synchronisation. If it breaks, the resulting damage can be severe and many major engine components will be damaged, often resulting in major engine work or at worst, a replacement engine.
Each manufacturer supplies a recommendation for replacement of the cambelt. We hold this information and can help you decide whether it is time to get your cambelt changed.
The cost of the cambelt change varies from car to car, but it is always cheaper to replace the belt than fix the damage a broken belt will cause.
Feel free to send us an enquiry to find out when your cambelt is due for replacement.
Diesel Particulate Filters are a common and widely used emission control system fitted to most diesel cars from 2007. They catch the soot and particles from the engine in a filter within the exhaust, and then periodically vaporise them at very high temperatures (circa 600 degrees!).
Although this is effective at capturing harmful particles, there is often a side effect if the car is not driven on longer journeys. Since the manufacturers tend to program the systems to vaporise the filtered soot on open roads (driving for longer than 20 minutes at revs above 2000 rpm is a common requirement), cars which are driven predominantly around town are likely to clog the filter and cause the emission light to illuminate. If this is not dealt with quickly then more expensive complete blockage may occur. In the worst scenario a new DPF may be required.
If you are experiencing DPF issues then feel free to book in with us. We are well versed in these faults and can often save your existing DPF filter, even if it is heavily blocked.
WARNING! Do be wary of companies who offer DPF removal as a solution to this problem. It is not recommended and may cause problems with getting an MOT, with your insurance, and more importantly, with the health of those around you who will be breathing your unfiltered sooty exhaust particles.
We can check your exhaust for faults and replace anything from a simple rear silencer to a complete new system.
Our fully trained mechanics know what they are doing and will advise you of the best course of action if you need your exhaust system looking at.
We have full gas analysis equipment to check your catalytic converter is operating correctly, as well as checking your exhaust system for damage and leaks.
Diesel vehicles are often equipped with a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which filters out harmful particles from the exhaust gases. This has an automated procedure for cleaning itself which should happen without your intervention. Sometimes this fails to work correctly, leaving you with a blocked filter. It is important to react promptly to any warning lamps or messages your car may give you and let us manually clean the filter or advise you on any faults that may be causing an issue.

We are qualified to check, service and re-gas your car's air conditioning system with up to date F-gas qualifications.
It is always advisable to use your air conditioning system all year round to keep the oil, which lubricates the seals, moving around the system. By leaving your system switched off for a few months, it often allows the gas to escape and renders your air conditioning inoperative.
Our air conditioning service includes removal of the old oil and gas as well as a full leak test to ensure proper running after a leak has occurred. If a leak is detected, we can carry out a diagnosis of the potential fix to get you back up and running.
We are a long established VOSA MOT test centre and we are very much able to take care of your MOT test. We have a special reduced price offer on the MOT tests when bought with a fixed price service, and all work required is carried out by our trained technicians.
You can rest assured that an MOT booked through us will be attended to with our normal high quality and friendly manner, with no work carried out unless your vehicle needs it.
You can book an MOT with our quote and book system.
We have the experience and know-how to examine and check your brakes. As well as simple brake component changes, we can also advise on brake fluid condition, fit brake lines and also take care of other more complex brake faults, including ABS systems.
