Yeah. I want the diagnostic tools. I have diagnostic software galore to interrogate building control systems and to integrate anything to anything through bespoke software drivers. The internet of things doesn't extend to cars yet. People fear cars being hacked. Why tie a car to another system.
In Dubai they supposedly have fire systems linked to both the fire station and then to traffic management smart roads. If a fire is detected the available service sets off and the smart roads clear a lane to the firey building. Getting people to think about the potential of integrating systems and how we can take benefit of one system and utilise it for another is tricky. Not everyone knows the benefit of other systems so at the moment we're just playing with ideas.
Take a look at Gendan in Swansea, their diagnostic kit is pretty good.
Problem with manufacturers kit, is the people on the end of it. A lot of them nowadays just look at the computer & go oh that's what we need to change & when that bit doesn't work they'll change something else.
They don't know how the system works or how to actually pull out an Oscilloscope & Meter to actually diagnose the problem.
That's where a good independent wins, they have to know how things work & how to diagnose problems at grass roots level.
It's the same in bms. Loads of "engineers with laptops" who don't understand the hvac control (engine) and just make matters worse. My only faith is with Audi. Tech I spoke to seemed to know what he was talking about. Hopefully it doesn't end up with a work experience who keeps throwing ecus at it.
and another tech had given it a once over, followed a few of the chewed wires and said this rodent damage was superficial and not the cause. From what I can gather he tried to reset a fault with the steering sensor but couldn't do it, figured out the wheel alignment was out and did a 4 wheel track alignment and then recalibrated the sensor to the column and all's well again. I have my wheels back. Cost £176 + vat.
