Clarify the enquiry
We review the vehicle details, symptoms and objective in advance to avoid recommending an unsuitable service.
Process & assessment
Diagnose first, carry out the work, then check it.
Vehicle electronics problems need a clear process. MG AutoTech assesses the vehicle details, symptoms, control-unit condition and risks before programming, coding, repair or optimisation.
Process
Four steps to take the guesswork out of sensitive vehicle electronics.
Document the diagnosis
Readout, fault memory, control-unit condition and the surrounding systems are documented.
Approve the approach
Repair, programming, coding or optimisation only starts after the technical assessment.
Check the result
Final checks, guidance and next steps are clearly handed over to the customer.
Restoration & responsibility
Clarify what is technically and legally appropriate first.
Transparency matters particularly with software, emissions systems, control units and safety-related components. Not every request is automatically appropriate.
Original state and backup
If the original file or a complete backup is available, restoration is considered before implementation.
Agree the scope in advance
Software work is assessed individually. Existing faults, removed components and previous work must be distinguished from the agreed scope.
Investigate existing faults first
Limp mode, sensor problems, mechanical defects and electrical faults are not resolved by applying software blindly.
Legal limits
Changes to emissions- or safety-related systems must be assessed separately according to intended use and road approval.
Quality
The work remains traceable.
No blindly applied standard file
Vehicle details, fault codes, the control unit and the objective are assessed before any software work.
Consider original data and restoration
Where technically possible, the original file, backup and ability to restore the original state are carefully considered.
Realistic statements
No blanket maximum figures without a technical basis, measurement data or a clear vehicle assessment.
A traceable handover
After the work, relevant readings, faults and guidance are checked again.
