Mechanic Matt

Hi I'm Matt, I am a mobile mechanic in Bugle Cornwall. I have 30 years of experience. I have worked at both main dealer and independent garages. carrying out auto electrical repairs, diagnostics and service repairs. I will show videos of me fixing friends, family and customers cars, mechanical jobs as well as diagnostics and hope to share some case studies with you on this channel.
Message me if you are local and have a car could be filmed. Thanks for watching.

    Good job. I can recommend a company called : ECU Testing if you get a board/driver you can't fix yourself. Another mechanic recommended me to them and they are very professional and reasonable price too. I sent them a older VAG ecu with suspected intermittent immobilizer problems recently for test , they picked it up, tested it confirmed a fault in line with what I thought, repaired it it and sent it back within a week, at sub £180 guaranteed for life, I was impressed TBH. Getting new pins/plugs is a major problem for me, I have started keeping and stripping old plugs and connectors and throwing them in a box for spares. HTH.

    Hi Matt. Thanks for the video! Curious if you have any idea about where to start on an S40 with all of the following symptoms that started simultaneously after the car was shut off and then turned back on: 1. The wipers run constantly and will not stop. 2. The locks/electronic window controls do not function (on any doors) 3. The blinkers will not work (but hazards do) My suspicion is that there is some central relay somewhere that controls all these peripherals? Any information appreciated. Thanks again.

    Hey mechanic. I bought a used ecu with matching part numbers. But when I opened up the donor ecu (bought used), I didn’t see an eight legged eprom chip in it. But there is a space where it looks like it’s supposed to be there. The thing is… the used one I bought had put a warranty seal on it. And I broke that seal just to see if I could get the eprom chip. 2011 a3 8p is the car. Any thoughts? Thanks!
