This week at KAM we received a visit from a good friend of mine who arrived at our Beeston depot in quite a state. “Kev you know I always trust you and your boys and I have got a new puzzle for you to solve.”
Mr H explained that the car in question his recently purchased Audi A6 Cabriolet had one small problem that he knew about before he bought the car. “I know it sounds silly Kev but I actually bought the car much cheaper and there was but one imperfection on this beauty.” He said pointing to his pristine Blue car, which appeared to be far from the gremlin riddled cars we usually see trudging through our workshops. “Kev the electric hood is not working on the car. I knew this when I first bought it and it wasn’t a problem because the weather was awful anyway. But now the sun has recently sprouted out and I am roasting in there. My girlfriend wants to enjoy the sun in my new car and we just can’t. Please say you can help.” We assured Mr H that he was in good hands and that our Beeston boys were raring and ready to go on all diagnostic machines. They have spent the last few weeks introducing new customers and have had time to flex their ever-expanding skills.
Mr H was confident that our talented Beeston team would solve the problem and that he would be enjoying the wind in his hair in no time. We took all of his details and we then whisked him away in one of our courtesy cars. It was then time to choose this week’s master diagnostician and all eyes fell on Diagnostic Dan. Dan has long been a staple of KAM’s diagnosis team and has continued to increase our winning record of mysteries solved. He and the team at KAM Beeston have taken on all mysteries with passion and vigour and our new customers have been very pleased.
Dan got straight to work, armed with his multimetres and his diagnostic machines and started on his gremlin-hunting mission. He first made some visual observations and then started to hook the machines up to the car to try and identify the problem. We awaited the results and a short while later the paper was released and Dan’s eyes scanned the results. “The Beeston team has done it again.” It so transpired that the wiring that goes to the electric hood control module had quite simply corroded away which meant no power to the motors. This had been the reason for the hood’s inability to work and would require a simple procedure to reverse the problem. All that was required was to replace the affected wiring and Dan used his excellent technical skills to ensure that all wiring was fitted correctly so that no future problems would ensue.
The repairs were undertaken and now it was the moment of truth and all the boys waited with baited breath. Dan jumped in the front seat and turned the key, the car purred along nicely and then Dan flipped the hood switch. There was a short pause and then the hood started to descend in all its glory and revealed Dan’s smiling face, then the real test came, having got the roof open would it shut again?? Of course it would, with a quick press of the switch the roof quietly ascended back into place again. “We did it Kev, the kings of Beeston are victorious once more.” The car was returned to its previous glory and the sun beat down on the newly fixed and newly cleaned car.
Mr H was ecstatic to have his car fixed by the Beeston dream team and couldn’t wait to start basking in the sunny weather with his top down. “Wow Kev thank you I knew I could rely on the KAM team. You give the best prices; the best service and you have guaranteed me a great summer. Thanks.”
