AXION AUTOMOTIVE · UK-WIDE POSTAL ENQUIRIES

Automotive Electronics Repair Library

Find repair services by vehicle brand, control-module type or diagnostic symptom. Practical guidance for owners and garages before an assessment.

Prepare a complete repair enquiry: use the vehicle finder and enquiry builder to combine your vehicle, symptoms, previous work and useful guide links into one summary. Review it, copy it or download a text file, then open your email app to contact AXION. Owners, garages and fleet teams can choose the help they need.

New: 100 focused fault guides. Browse EV charging, hybrid heating, ECU and TCU symptoms, body electronics, vehicle networks, programming and diagnostic evidence, organised into ten practical sections.

Another 100 diagnostic guides: explore EV operation, hybrid systems, chassis electronics, ECU memory, gearbox faults, keys and diagnostic reports. Choose a system to find practical next steps.

What needs attention?

Choose the closest description. Each route explains what to prepare and where to start.

01 · Engine ECU or starting fault

Keep the original ECU and record whether the engine cranks, starts briefly or does not respond. Include the complete scan report and photographs of the module label.

ECU repair and cloning →

02 · Gearbox warning or lost drive

Send the gearbox code if known, TCU part number and exact fault codes. Describe which gears are affected and whether the fault changes when warm.

TCU and DSG electronics →

03 · Lights, windows or body electronics

List the functions affected together and any water ingress or battery history. Identify the BCM, BSI, FRM or SAM module before arranging removal.

Body-module assessment →

04 · EV or hybrid system warning

Send the exact dashboard message, vehicle details and a scan report if available. Ask about a complete-vehicle appointment before sending any component. Do not open high-voltage components or send a traction battery.

EV and hybrid diagnostics →

05 · Replacement module or coding problem

Retain both units and photograph both labels. Explain whether the original still communicates and what programming has already been attempted.

Programming and compatibility →

06 · Several warnings or an intermittent fault

Record when the fault happens: cold start, heat, rain or after previous work. A full-vehicle assessment may be needed when several systems are involved.

Complex fault diagnosis →

Already have a unit ready to send? Follow the postal repair checklist. Need the vehicle examined? Choose a workshop assessment.

Start with the information you have

You may know the vehicle brand, the number on the ECU label, or only the warning message on the dashboard. Use the routes below to narrow down the enquiry. A brand name or fault code alone cannot confirm which component needs repair.

Vehicle brands

Prepare the right identification for your make, model and powertrain. Module suppliers and software can differ within one model range.

Browse vehicle brands →

ECU and module types

Engine, transmission, body, restraint and EV controllers have different roles and assessment routes.

Identify your control module →

Fault-code guides

Understand what a scan result does and does not establish before buying a replacement module.

Browse diagnostic guides →

Common reasons customers seek an assessment

No communication

A diagnostic tool cannot reach a controller. The vehicle power supply, network and the module itself may all need investigation.

Read the U0100 / U0101 guide →

Processor fault code

A P0606 entry needs the complete scan report, vehicle details and the manufacturer’s diagnostic process.

Read the P0606 guide →

Failed or interrupted programming

Record what was attempted, which tool was used and whether the original unit still communicates. Keep the original module.

Programming and cloning enquiries →

Build a useful repair enquiry

  1. Record the registration, make, model, year, engine and transmission.
  2. Photograph the complete module label and connectors without opening the unit.
  3. Save a full vehicle scan, including the exact codes, suffixes and reporting controllers.
  4. Describe when the fault occurs and any battery, wiring, water-damage or replacement history.
  5. Ask whether a workshop diagnosis or postal module assessment is appropriate.

Use our full ECU enquiry checklist. If the cause is still uncertain, our postal versus workshop guide explains the difference.

UK-wide module assessment enquiries

Looking for ECU, BCM, SAM or TCU repair support from Birmingham, London, Liverpool, Glasgow or Southampton? AXION welcomes enquiries from owners and garages across the UK. For a suitable removed unit, we can discuss a postal assessment without you travelling to Oxfordshire. Confirm the exact module, symptoms and proposed work before dispatch. Complete-vehicle electrical diagnosis, installation and supported programming may require the vehicle and a separately arranged appointment. Our workshop is in Didcot; the postal enquiry service extends across the UK.
