Rallysport Automotive Rallysport Automotive is an independent service centre and used car dealership. Rallysport Engineering Academy lead the field in alternative education in Essex.

We specialise in teaching motor vehicle mechanics to a wide range of young learners aged between 14 and 16. A community interest company, of which, any profits generated are re-invested back into our community projects. With academy's in both Wickford and Colchester, we also have a new service and repair centre opening soon in Colchester. Those who attend our academy can be guaranteed a safe and u

nique introduction into the motor vehicle industry, carried out by a highly skilled team, in a safe and friendly workshop environment. The Rallysport Engineering Academy is an alternative education provision, specialising in the teaching of motor vehicle mechanics, to learners, from all backgrounds. We have been specifically set up to assist those students who would find the normal learning environment a challenge, or to those who find the hands on approach to learning more beneficial. To date the Rallysport Engineering Academy has worked with over 25 different schools and organisations offering a roll-on roll-off service, of which, students can join any time during the academic year and start working towards completing a level one qualification. The curriculum at the academy is based on a philosophy of "learning by doing", We teach a level one qualification, of which, 80% of students learning time is practical based, carried out in our fully equipped workshop. We re-enforce the skills students learn by creating once in a lifetime projects such as the Rallysport Kit Car and Focus WRC Replica. At the academy we endeavour to teach all of our students the skills and techniques needed to help them realise their potential, gain responsibility for their actions, and provide them with the strongest possible foundations to which they can build upon and create a prosperous career in the motor vehicle industry, whilst ensuring that they are always supervised by experienced staff and working to stringent health and safety regulations.

πŸš— ❌ Limp mode? Loss of power? Warning lights on the dashboard? πŸš— ❌

Our customer came to us here at Rallysport reporting that their car was intermittently going into limp mode, with a warning light appearing on the dashboard ⚠️

Wayne got the vehicle in for a full diagnostic investigation πŸ”

During his road test he reported that the car was down on power, so he got it into the workshop & the investigation began! Wayne carried out a code scan which pointed him towards a potential issue with the turbocharger πŸ’¨

Using live data Wayne tested the turbo actuator and found there was no movement at all & the actuator had seized, causing the fault ❌

After Wayne rang and discussed the findings with the customer and Paul providing the quote, we got the green light to proceed βœ…

The repair Wayne needed to do included:
πŸ”§ New turbocharger fitted
πŸ”§ New manifold gasket and studs
πŸ”§ New oil feed and return pipes
πŸ”§ Fresh engine oil and oil filter (best practice when replacing a turbo)

Once installed, the new turbo was adapted by Wayne to the vehicle using our main dealer-level diagnostic equipment πŸ–₯οΈβš™οΈ

Final road test completed and we’re pleased to say the fault has completely gone. With full power restored and one very happy customer back on the road! 🚘✨

No guesswork, just thorough diagnostics and the correct repair πŸ’ͺ
Well done Wayne πŸ‘
