Dealer-level tools, independent garage prices

We’re the only independent centre in Swindon using Volkswagen’s own factory diagnostics (ODIS) with a direct manufacturer link. We also have full access to VW Group repair manuals, procedures and service plans – just like the main dealer.

With over 40 years’ combined experience and specialist tooling on site, we offer the highest level of diagnostic accuracy, helping to avoid unnecessary repairs and get you back on the road faster.

Fault codes already checked? We can help

If you have already read your fault code, looked it up online, or been told the code by another garage, we can take it from there.

A fault code points in the right direction, but it does not always confirm the root cause. We carry out full VW Group diagnostics to confirm what is actually causing the issue, whether that is a sensor fault, wiring problem, software issue, or a mechanical failure behind the code.

For Audi vehicles, we currently list and explain common Audi OBD fault codes to help you understand what they relate to before booking in.

Why book your diagnostic check with VGS?

We use dealer-level diagnostics with ODIS and VCDS – the same fault-finding systems used by VW, Audi and Skoda main dealers. You’ll get clear, upfront pricing with no guesswork or unnecessary repairs. We keep you updated throughout the process and provide honest advice based on accurate diagnostics, not just fault code clearing.

FAQs

What’s the difference between your diagnostics and a basic scan tool?

Most garages use generic code readers that only show surface-level faults. We use Volkswagen Group’s official ODIS system, giving us deeper access to your vehicle’s data, modules and live sensor readings – just like the main dealer.

Can you diagnose issues with warning lights or intermittent faults?

Yes. Whether it’s a persistent dashboard light or an issue that comes and goes, our advanced diagnostics allow us to pinpoint the cause accurately, not just clear the fault code.

Do you offer Audi car diagnostics for S-line or RS models?

We work on all Audi models including performance variants. Our tools and experience mean we can run full diagnostics, module resets and coding updates for everything from an A1 to an RS6.

Can I book a diagnostic check alongside a service or MOT?

Yes, we can run a diagnostic alongside your scheduled service or MOT visit. It’s a good idea if you’ve noticed a warning light, reduced performance or any electrical issue.

Is a diagnostic check worth it before replacing parts?

Yes. Fault codes alone do not always confirm which part has failed. A proper diagnostic check confirms whether a component is faulty, affected by another issue, or operating outside expected values. This helps avoid replacing parts unnecessarily and ensures the correct repair is carried out first time.

Do you have pages for individual fault codes?

Yes. We have dedicated pages for individual Audi OBD fault codes to help you understand what a specific code relates to before booking in. Each page explains what the code means, common causes, and why further diagnostics are often needed to confirm the fault. For example, here you can view our page for the Audi fault code P060900.
