Diagnostics as an aid to the amateur (Audi A4 B5)

The times when you could repair everything in your car yourself, like in the VW Beetle, are long gone. But that doesn't mean that all car repairs done by yourself are a thing of the past. Quite the opposite. We just have to change our ways a little and use modern technology.

For example, interrogating the fault memory device in the workshop fits perfectly into our self-help program, depending on the situation.

At first they require a printout of the faults and then decide whether to order repairs or do it themselves.

Or when at first they look to see if they can find the defect themselves, and only after they fail to do so themselves, they look for a workshop with electronic support.
