Mechanic wanted

Post by Village Idiots »

Does anyone know of a good VW/VAG mechanic in Lancashire? Nearer to Blackburn the better!
Thanks

Thanks, Mark.
I'll have a wander down to ADE next week. Their website suggests they are well competent.

Jeb

They have got a Rolling Road day at the end of the month (think its the 29th), might be worth having a ride along to sound people and get a taste for what they do and there standard of work. I intend to go along in the Scirocco as well.
They are a site sponsor on the Unphased website, that may be worth. Unphased are a group of VW enthusiasts around Preston/Chorley/Blackburn.

Oh, I see.
I did buy some software and a lead to plug in the wifes Polo when she had one, that was helpful with finding faults (which there was many!) and it was not an expensive bit of kit.
It usually ends up being a faulty sensor some where as there is so many of them in modern engines.

Good luck.
