April Webinar
Renault Exhaust Gas Treatment | 22.04.26 @ 11.00am | Delivered by Steve Jones
In an era of increasingly stringent emissions regulations, technologies such as Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and the use of AdBlue have become standard in modern diesel vehicles.
Their role is critical in converting harmful nitrogen oxides (NOx) produced during combustion into harmless nitrogen and water vapour, significantly reducing environmental impact and improving air quality.
During this webinar, we will cover the following key areas:
Understanding the Technology
Explore the chemical principles behind SCR and AdBlue, and gain insight into how system components—such as NOx sensors, control units, and dosing modules—work together to ensure effective emissions reduction.
Effective Diagnostics
Learn about common SCR and AdBlue system failure modes and follow a structured, repeatable diagnostic approach to identify faults quickly and accurately.
Maintenance and Best Practices
Understand correct AdBlue handling, storage, and maintenance procedures to prevent contamination and ensure reliable system performance.
Technical Developments
Examine recent advancements and refinements in SCR technology designed to meet increasingly strict global emissions standards.

Real-world BMW & MINI faults: Diagnosis Tips, Tricks, and unusual causes | 13.05.26 @ 11.00am | Delivered by Simon Tyrrell
This technician-focused webinar dives into common BMW and MINI faults, revealing the hidden and unusual causes that fault codes don’t always show. Using real-world examples, we’ll share practical diagnostic tips, common pitfalls, and proven techniques to help you fix vehicles right the first time and reduce repeat repairs.
June Webinar
VAG Cooling Systems | 17.06.26 @ 11.00am | Delivered by Shaun Kerr
Volkswagen AG brands such as Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, and Škoda feature increasingly sophisticated thermal management systems designed to improve efficiency, emissions control, and engine longevity. However, these advanced systems also introduce unique diagnostic challenges for technicians.
This webinar looks at VAG cooling system operation, common faults and proven diagnostic strategies used in the workshop. Participants will learn how to identify and diagnose issues affecting mechanical and electronically controlled cooling components across a wide range of petrol, diesel, and hybrid platforms.
Topics covered include:
• Cooling system architecture and operation on modern VAG vehicles
• Thermostat and water pump failures, including integrated module designs
• Electric coolant pumps and map-controlled thermostat systems
• Diagnosing overheating, poor heater performance, and intermittent temperature concerns
• Real-world case studies and diagnostic routines to reduce misdiagnosis and repeat repairs
Attendees will gain practical insight into cooling system faults on VAG vehicles.
