DPF CLEANING
DPF cleaning is an innovative new method of cleaning soot from your “diesel particulate filter” (or DPF) and removing blockages. The stop-start driving technology of many new vehicles creates a higher build-up of soot and carbon in the filter, and DPF flash cleaning is the fastest and easiest method of cleaning the filter, ensuring the removal of any potential blockages. Left unchecked these blockages will eventually lead to an engine fault and the vehicle will go into ‘limp mode’. Our specialized DPF cleaning equipment, designed to effectively clean the DPF will surge liquid through your filter, cutting away all diesel particulates, soot, carbon, wax, ash and tar.

ECU REMAPPING
Getting the most from your car in terms of performance and economy is a great way to improve your overall driving experience and save money on your fuel costs over the months and years. While tuning a car for optimal performance may sound daunting and complicated to many casual motorists, you may be interested to hear that it can be done in as little as 60 minutes, by ‘remapping’.
Remapping, sometimes called ECU tuning, is when the settings of a car’s ‘engine control unit’ (ECU) is altered to improve several areas of the vehicle’s performance. By overwriting the existing settings with new software, the owner can re-programme the car to manage the fuel injection, airflow, sensors and more (within legal limitations).
MOT TESTING
An MOT can seem daunting, but it doesn’t need to be. We will test your car’s safety – it’s all computerised and we will advise if there are any areas which need to be improved to ensure your car meets the necessary standards.
As the diagram above shows the MOT test covers all the major areas of your vehicle where safety is an issue.
Brunel Motors is approved by the Government appointed Vehicle Operator Services Agency (VOSA) and all MOT tests are completed by MOT testers nominated by VOSA.
Now you can arrange an appointment online and have an MOT test completed up to one month before the expiry of your MOT.
Why not service your car at the same time as your MOT? With trained technicians, the latest diagnostic equipment, guaranteed parts and labour – why pay more elsewhere?
The test we carry out is not a matter of opinion – but a matter of law and is there to protect you and your family from a possible mechanical failure that could put you and them at risk. That is why our MOT testers have all achieved the necessary qualifications to meet this demanding task.
SERVICING
We have all the necessary tools, equipment, and specialist knowledge to repair service and diagnose your car at a fraction of the main dealers cost.
We service and repair all makes and models of car, most owners fully service their car every year or every 12,000 miles – whichever comes earlier. Servicing pro actively maintains your car, reducing the risk of a breakdown. Even if it is irregular, servicing can help maintain your car’s value.
BRAKE REFACE
Because of constant refinement of materials, assembly tolerances and quality awareness, even minor defects in disc brakes are noticed by the driver. Vibration in the steering wheel or brake pedal can be felt immediately and brake noise is audible. There are three directly attributable causes:
Run-out is oscillation of the brake disc. This may be caused by tolerance in the brake disc and hub or by distortion of these parts by shock loads. The oscillation of the brake disc can be felt in the steering wheel. The brake disc and the brake pads are not in line!
Disk Thickness Variation (DTV) is the difference in thickness of the disc measured at different points in the radial plane. This phenomenon is the logical consequence of differences in material structure, run out and constant changes in brake conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity and load on materials. DTV can be clearly felt in the brake pedal. Once again, brake disc nd brake pads are out of line!
