🔧 Another Dealer Tool Added to the Arsenal – Porsche VT4 Access 🔧

We’re proud to announce that N Burke Diagnostic now has full security access to Porsche vehicles, utilising the official Porsche Virtual Tester 4 (VT4) system.

This means genuine dealer-level diagnostics, coding, adaptations, programming and security-protected functions can now be carried out correctly and safely — exactly as Porsche intended.

Modern Porsche vehicles are heavily locked down with advanced SFD / security gateways. Without authorised access, many functions simply cannot be completed. With VT4, we can now:
Carry out dealer-correct diagnostics

Perform online coding & adaptations

Access security-protected control units

Carry out guided fault finding

Support module replacement and calibration procedures

No guesswork. No aftermarket workarounds. Just factory tooling, genuine access, and correct repair processes.

📍 Based in Wigan, supporting Porsche owners and trade customers who want the job done right.

🚗 BMW & MINI FRM MODULE REPAIR – NO LIGHTS? NO WINDOWS? NO INDICATORS? ⚠️
BMW and MINI vehicles are well known for suffering FRM (Footwell Module) failures following flat batteries, jump-starting, or voltage spikes.
When the FRM module corrupts internally, it can cause multiple faults including: ❌ No headlights or indicators
❌ Windows not operating
❌ Interior lights inoperative
❌ Wipers or mirrors not functioning
❌ Multiple fault codes and warning messages
🔧 The root cause
Low system voltage or voltage spikes can corrupt the FRM module’s EEPROM data, causing the module to lock up or fail completely.
🧠 Our solution
At N Burke Diagnostic, we offer professional FRM module repair and recovery, avoiding unnecessary replacement where possible. Using specialist dealer-level equipment and programming tools, we can: ✔️ Repair corrupted FRM data
✔️ Restore full lighting and body functions
✔️ Re-code and initialise the module correctly
✔️ Save you hundreds compared to dealer replacement
This service is suitable for BMW & MINI models commonly affected by FRM2 / FRM3 issues.

🚗 Wigan’s No.1 Peugeot & Citroën Specialist 🇫🇷

Another dealer-level fix completed – this time on a Peugeot e-208 with Android Auto not working.

The customer contacted us after repeatedly seeing a security handshake error on their phone every time it was connected to the vehicle. Initial checks showed all hardware and settings were correct, however further investigation revealed newer NAC infotainment firmware was available.
Using our official dealer/manufacturer portal access, we downloaded and installed the latest NAC update. ✅

This not only restored full Android Auto functionality, but also brought a host of general improvements to the NAC system overall.
This is exactly why correct diagnostics and genuine software updates matter – not guesswork and not unnecessary parts.

🚗 SEAT Arona – Intermittent No-Start & Communication Fault 🔍⚡

This SEAT Arona was suffering from an intermittent non-start, accompanied by a loss of communication with the PCM/ECM — the kind of fault that doesn’t always show itself when you want it to.

After structured fault-finding and live data analysis, we traced the root cause to a failing relay intermittently suppressing power to the PCM, explaining both the no-start condition and the communication drop-outs.

During our initial system scan, we also uncovered incorrect coding present within the ABS controller (Address 03). Rather than leaving this as a potential future issue, we jumped onto the Volkswagen Group factory dealer platform – ODIS and carried out:

✅ Online coding & parameterisation of the ABS module (Address 03)
✅ Full vehicle-specific configuration via factory servers
✅ Calibration/software update to the Engine Control Module (Address 01) after identifying newer software available

Updating the ECM ensures the vehicle benefits from the latest refinements, bug fixes, and strategy improvements, helping prevent software-related niggles further down the line.

🔧 This job is a perfect example of why proper diagnostics and genuine dealer-level tooling matter — fixing today’s fault while proactively safeguarding against tomorrow’s.
