🔧 April og maj 2026. Nyeste AutoFrontal opdatering

AutoFrontal vokser igen. Denne gang med 209 helt nye TSB’er og 122 opdateringer, alle baseret på reelle hotlinesager og konkret fejlfinding fra værksteder i hele Europa.

Her er tre stærke eksempler fra det nyeste materiale:

VAG EA288 EVO og EA897 Gen 3 diesel
Bosch 3 pin common rail injektor med Needle Closing Control, NCC. Fejlen kan ligne en almindelig injektorkreds fejl, men den integrerede feedback sensor ændrer hele diagnoseforløbet.
Bulletin nr. 13341

Mercedes Benz ML, GL og GLE Class 166
Motoren starter ikke, enkelte lamper kan lyse uden tænding, og bilen kan have en lang liste med kommunikationsfejl. Symptomerne kan ligne en defekt tændingslås, men fejlen kan ligge i SAM N10 og aktivering af relæ K1 i sikringsboksen F33.
Bulletin nr. 13478

Renault Twingo III 1.0 TCe
Motoren er gået i stå og starter ikke igen. Starteren aktiveres ikke, motorlampe blinker, og der er ingen diagnosekommunikation med motorstyreenheden. Fejlen kan ikke søges via fejlkoder, så symptombaseret søgning er afgørende.
Bulletin nr. 13333

Reelle fejl. Reelle løsninger. Direkte fra værksteder til værksteder.

137 new bulletins produced in November have now been added. In addition, we updated 136 of the existing bulletins, thanks to feedback from you at the workshops.
See e.g.:
Bulletin No. 8926.
Fiat 500 Electric - Instructions to brake fluid replacement
We are experiencing a great demand for guides on how to replace brake fluid on cars with electro-hydraulic brake booster. These guides can be found under the category Service.

Bulletin No. 8969.
Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric - The car will not enter ready mode, fault message for high-voltage system, fault code stored:
P1C0300 - There is a Vehicle-side Isolation Fault in the High-voltage On-board Electrical System.
A bulletin with many experience values for insulation test in this model.

Bulletin No. 8992.
Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV - Car will possibly only run on electric mode (combustion engine is not activated or dies), possible smell of burnt clutch/oil, fault code stored:
P10DC - Engine/Generator Fail
Depending on how much the clutch slips, you may also have symptoms of the combustion engine starting but dying shortly after.

116 new bulletins and 152 updates of existing bulletins have just been released for the program.
Winter is approaching, and that means wheel change and can mean challenges with tyres and TPMS reset.

One of the new bulletins is a guide to precautions regarding tyre change in cars with 4WD.
A challenge that takes some people by surprise is the relatively big difference in the rolling diameter of the tyre, if the same tyre size is used from 2 different tyre manufacturers.
See example in bulletin No. 8419.

TPMS can also be a challenge, both if you need to reset, but also if you need to program new tyre pressure sensors.
Performing a TPMS reset is fortunately a simple procedure in many models. Special procedures can be found in AutoFrontal under the category TPMS.

Attached new bulletin on Hyundai Ioniq as well as bulletin on Jaguar/Land Rover with discharge which occurred after a diagnostic tester was fitted.

Fiat 500C. Boot lid cannot open.

This is an old TSB, but still relevant.
Recently, our hotline was contacted by a workshop who asked for advice on what might be wrong.
The boot lid could not open. Switch to boot lid opening, electric motor to boot lid opening and BSM had been replaced. Wires had been checked. So, what might be the fault?
Fortunately, this was a known issue for our Fiat technician in the AutoFrontal hotline.
He referred the workshop to this bulletin, which solved the problem.
The cause was that the folding roof had to be learned. After that, the boot lid could be opened.
There are more ways of finding a bulletin like this in AutoFrontal.
We recommend to always start by reading out fault codes for the car. In this case: B106192 - RCU Moveable Roof Control Module - Performance or Incorrect and/or U020786 - Moveable Roof Control Unit (RCU) - Signal invalid
Select the car in AutoFrontal and then go to the Bulletins tab and enter the fault code here.
Then, only bulletins that match the selected car will appear.
If there is no fault code, use a search word or select a category or symptom as seen in the attached examples.
This TSB is downloaded 1010 times.
Perhaps some of you have struggled with this the first time?

More than 200 new bulletins were released last night, and even more updates of existing bulletins.
Several of the new bulletins are made on the basis of tips or feedback from you via our hotline.
Here is an example of a bulletin, which is based on a hotline case.
Please note that the fault was very intermittent and thus difficult to measure at the workshop.

Volkswagen with DSG will not start, message in instrument that you need to set gearshift lever in P/N, stores fault code P085000. During this week there will be a big upload with many new bulletins. Here is one of them. Thanks to a friendly feedback from a Hotline case and some experience from previous hotline cases. It is actually very difficult to find any good information about the purpose of the wire that the error code is referring to. You might think that the fault is due to the usual switch on the gear selector, but this is not the case. On page 2 we show an example where the fault should be found inside the engine control unit.

Watch the latest news in AutoFrontal where we also talk about heat pump systems (thermal management).
We are curious to know on which of the cars you need to use a diagnostic tool to fill the A/C refrigerant (open the valves).
So please share if you know of other models than Volkswagen group and BMW.
Also please share if you have experience with the consequences if you fill the system without opening the valves using a diagnostic tool.
We would also like to know your experiences with models where you don’t need a diagnostic tool to fill the refrigerant. Such as PSA and Renault.
A database with this would come in handy in our program.
May we remind you that Elektro Partner operate with limited staffing in week 28 and 30. We will be completely closed in week 29.

Workshop avoids a cost of more than 800 Euro.
Renault Kadjar 1.5 dCi 2017 stores fault codes for the battery sensor.
We have just produced TSB No. 8000 and have on this occasion attached a case with the background for this TSB.
We would like to thank all our customers for all the good tips and feedback which means that we have now reached TSB number 8000.

Thank you for this year 2020
The Elektro Partner team would like to say thank you very much to all our customers.
2020 presented many challenges, but as a company we have focused on the development of all our products and not least AutoFrontal, which is now used in several countries, also outside the EU.
2020 is the year for the biggest number of tips received from garages. Most often, there is a long and intriguing explanation for how a garage spent hours of troubleshooting because they started troubleshooting in the “wrong” end due to e.g. an intermittent fault. After the task was solved, as a mechanic you would think: If I encounter the fault again in this type of car, I can rapidly find the fault if only I start my diagnostic test “in the right place”.
Our hotline has been busy all year and has had more than 48,000 cases this year.
We look forward to starting 2021 with you, a year that without a doubt will offer exciting initiatives.
I have attached one of many cases that has ended up as a bulletin in 2020.
