Signs you may need this service

Watch for these symptoms.

If any of the following sound familiar, schedule with AAB Service so the right tests can find the cause before the problem grows.

  • Diesel particulate filter (DPF), EGR, or emissions warning light
  • Reduced power, limp mode, or a 'reduced engine power' message
  • Hard starting, long crank, or rough idle when cold
  • Excess smoke, poor fuel economy, or a regen that never completes
  • Check engine light on a VW/Audi TDI or Mercedes Sprinter

How AAB Service diagnoses and repairs the issue

A clear, step-by-step process.

Real diagnosis before parts. The team explains findings before any work begins.

  1. 01

    Diesel scan and data review

    Pull engine and emissions codes, review DPF soot load, regen history, and fuel system live data before testing.

  2. 02

    Emissions and fuel system testing

    Test the DPF, EGR, glow plugs, injectors, and fuel pressure to find the actual cause instead of clearing a code.

  3. 03

    Diesel-aware repair plan

    Recommend cleaning, component replacement, or a forced regeneration based on evidence, and explain what keeps the emissions system healthy.

  4. 04

    Verification road test

    Confirm the repair, verify a completed regeneration where applicable, and clear codes only after the system is working.

Questions

Helpful answers before you schedule.

Do you work on VW and Audi TDI diesels?

Yes. AAB Service supports VW and Audi TDI diagnostics and repair, including emissions system, glow plug, injector, and hard-start concerns on supported model years.

Can you fix a DPF or regeneration problem?

Often yes. AAB Service reads the DPF soot load and regen history, tests the EGR and related sensors, and recommends cleaning, a forced regeneration, or component replacement based on what the data shows.

Why is my diesel in limp mode?

Limp mode protects the engine when the computer sees an emissions, boost, or fuel fault. AAB Service diagnoses the underlying cause before clearing the code so the problem does not immediately return.

Do you service the Mercedes Sprinter?

Yes. AAB Service supports Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel maintenance and diagnostics on supported scope, including emissions and drivability concerns.
