WE HAVE THE SOLUTION FOR YOU

WELCOME TO
VEHICLE DRIVEABILITY SOLUTIONS

Vehicle Driveability Solutions is a Whyalla based automotive diagnostic and 12 v accessory fitting Service. Diagnosis of vehicle electrical-based complaints.

Our goal is to quickly and cost-effectively remedy all types of auto electrical faults. Like a doctor seeing a patient, we firmly believe that a proper diagnosis is the critical first step to fixing any existing problem.

The traditional “guess and replace parts until it’s fixed” approach, based solely on symptoms or trouble codes, has a limited success rate and can be prohibitively expensive for today’s modern computerised vehicles. After several attempted fixes and comebacks, the original problem still remains. The vehicle owner is frustrated after wasting time and money, and often the vehicle is still not fixed!

We see the process as a separate diagnosis, followed by a repair. As our business name implies, our focus is on the diagnosis itself, and then provide a recommendation for repair to be completed by a third party.

At the end of the day, when the problem is efficiently diagnosed and repaired correctly the first time around with no guesswork, the customer is happy. The time and money spent on a professional diagnosis is a fantastic investment and pays for itself immediately in avoiding unnecessary labour and replacement of parts. Also, the customer will have confidence in the repair further down the road, as my thorough diagnosis addresses the underlying problem, not just the symptoms.

📢 Attention VF Commodore Owners! 🚗💨

#P0171 #P0174 VF Commodore with lean codes and Slightly rough idle.

After fuel pressures checked, inspection of vacuum lines and intake smoke tested The purge solenoid was tested and appeared to be functioning correctly.
A simple test for the purge solenoid: blow through the valve. Unpowered, you shouldn’t be able to pass air through; powered, it should allow airflow. If faulty, the seal might be broken, or the valve may stick.
Using an oscilloscope can provide a clearer picture. In this case, the good waveform shows one spike per valve activation. The faulty solenoid is showing 2 spikes per activation. The internal spring is no longer controlling the valve correctly and allowing too much air in through the purge system creating the lean at idle condition.

🌟 Result: The oscilloscope helped confirm the issue, leading to a successful fix.
