Van Engine Diagnostics in West Bromwich
An engine fault on a van isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a vehicle off the road and a job that doesn’t get finished. Warning lights, loss of power and rough running are common on hard-working diesel vans, often linked to the short, stop-start multi-drop journeys many vans do all day, which don’t give systems like the DPF and EGR valve the chance to clear themselves the way a longer run would.
Here are some of the warning signs worth getting checked before they turn into a bigger repair or an unexpected day off the road:
Our technicians use manufacturer-level diagnostic tools to get to the root cause quickly, minimising the time your van spends off the road.

Our Van Engine Diagnostics Service Includes:
- Commercial-Grade Diagnostic Equipment:
Alongside SnapOn, Bosch KTS, Autel and Delphi, we use Ford IDS and Peugeot Citroen DiagBox – manufacturer-specific tools that give us deeper access on the Transit, Sprinter, Vivaro, Boxer and Relay platforms most trade and fleet vans in West Bromwich are built on. - DPF, EGR & Emissions System Checks:
Many van engine faults trace back to the DPF or EGR valve clogging up from short multi-drop journeys that never reach regeneration temperature. We check these systems specifically rather than just clearing the code and sending you on your way. - Error Code Analysis:
We read and interpret fault codes from your van’s ECU to understand exactly what’s triggering the warning light, rather than guessing from symptoms alone. - Performance Analysis Under Load:
We assess how the engine performs when it matters – pulling away loaded, under sustained motorway load, and on repeated short trips – since a fault that doesn’t show up on a quick empty test drive often shows up clearly once the van’s working as normal. - Turbo & Injector Checks:
Turbos and injectors on commercial diesels see more heat cycles and load than the equivalent car engine, making them a common source of power loss and rough running on vans with higher mileage. - Clear, Practical Guidance:
We’ll explain what’s wrong, what it’ll cost to fix, and – where it’s relevant – how it affects your van’s ability to pass its MOT or emissions checks, so you can plan around it rather than being caught out. - Precise Repairs, Original Equipment Parts:
Repairs carried out to the fault we’ve actually diagnosed, using Original Equipment Specification parts throughout.
Call us now to book a diagnostic check. Ignoring an engine warning light on a van you rely on for work can turn a same-day fix into a much bigger repair – and more time off the road.

I was struggling to find a garage that I thought would be trustworthy to do a major service for my ecosport st line (wet belt engine) that understood about the oil to use. I phoned … More them and they told me before I asked what oil they used, totally treated me with respect which as a female is hard enough with a garage and yes was more expensive than others, you get what you pay for and showed me all the parts changed (without me asking)but omg on the day I was shown round the entire premises he explained everything they did. Didn't get your name but bravo, felt comfortable and at ease, a definite return customer 5* service 😀 -
First visit to Ferdotti and I must say I felt very welcome, they treated me so kindly and allowed me to use their meeting room facility to log into the work laptop whilst they a looked … More at my car. The lovely lady on reception was beyond helpful and very polite. Ian who looked at the car had explained to me exactly what they were going to do and what to expect. Ian advised it will take a few hours to conduct the work and I was happy to wait for several hours which was not an issue. Highly recommend their first class service and If I knew this garage had existed some time ago of would of used their services over the existing years.

Really appreciate all the team at Ferdotti for getting my car back on the road after it being recovered. Can’t thank you all enough - the communication was amazing and my car feels … More brand new again. Definitely recommend!
