“I recently had a customer’s Volkswagen in the workshop – it was losing comms with the engine. I spoke to Lawrence Ward via IVS 360 who took me through some step-by-step checks to help me identify that I had a corrupt ECU that needed replacing. With Lawrence’s expert guidance, I was able to fix this fault quickly and get the car back to my customer in good time.”

The IVS 360 team recently supported a customer with an Volvo C70 2004 model year. The cruise control was reported as inoperable. A clutch pedal sensor fault code was also recorded. They identified the cause and steps needed to fix the problem:
