VAG Specialists in or around Chester?
My Father has an issue with his 04 TDi Passat and doesn't want to spend silly money having VAGCOM plugged in at the dealer to find out
it's a pennies part (hopefully!)
Can anyone recommend a VAG specialist near or in Chester that he could take his Passat to? It's displaying the emissions indicator on the dash
computer every once in a while but I'm hoping the cause will be logged!
Thanks all
Michael

You can get plug in ODBII readers for little money or most independants will be able to read the codes I would think.

There is an Audi Motorsport place in Ellesmere Port called RennTech. My boss has taken his diesel A4 there a couple of times. There is also Central
VW Audi behind B&Q in Ellesmere Port.

Depends which side of Chester you want to travel to. There's Wilsons in Rhuddlan (near Rhyl), which is about 1/2 hour's drive away from
the west side of Chester, not far off the A55. They've been doing VW's for ever and ever.
I'm a bilingual illiterate. I can't read in two languages.

Can't help you ref a dealer sorry.
What kind of issues has he got with his car?
If I die, my biggest fear is that my wife sells all my toys for the price I told her I bought them for...

Sticky EGR valve is a likely cause.
I plugged VAG COM into a workmate's Passat TDI with an emmissions light coming on and that was / is the problem.
Giving it a kicking doesn't do any real good incidentally.

Thanks everyone - I'll pass that all on to him. Thanks too for possible solutions - valve sounds quite likely!
PG - Every once in a while the "Check Emissions" is displayed on the FIS on the dash. It's not a serious problem but annoying.
Nothing else seems untowards, it's just that his local garage doesn't have the kit to diagnose.
