Is your Renault or Dacia showing intermittent electrical faults, “Key Card Not Detected” errors, or refusing to start after another locksmith has worked on it? These are classic signs of a UCH (Body Control Module) issue that requires proper diagnosis and professional recoding.

We offer a specialist Renault and Dacia UCH module adaptation, resetting and virginising service across County Durham and the North East. Unlike cheap diagnostic tools that can corrupt or damage your UCH module, we use professional-grade equipment to safely restore your vehicle to full working order.

Common UCH Module Faults We Fix:

🔧 Key Card Not Detected – DF002, DF045, DF185, DF025, DF067, DF194 error codes
🔧 Immobiliser Failure – Car won’t start, steering wheel locked, engine cranks but won’t fire

🔧 Turn Signal Faults – Indicators staying on, not lighting up, or flashing intermittently
🔧 Communication Errors – UCH not talking to other vehicle modules

🔧 Trafic III UCH Bricking – Common fault on Trafic III vans where UCH becomes completely bricked after incorrect programming, often showing dongle faults

The Danger of Cheap Diagnostic Tools:

Many mobile locksmiths and garages use cheap clone diagnostic tools purchased from eBay or AliExpress. While these tools claim to work on Renault vehicles, they often:

❌ Corrupt UCH module data during key programming
❌ Write incorrect VIN information
❌ Fail to properly synchronise immobiliser data
❌ Leave the vehicle in a worse state than before
❌ Damage internal UCH memory causing permanent faults
❌ Brick UCH modules completely – especially common on Trafic III vans

We regularly fix vehicles that have been damaged by other locksmiths using inferior equipment. If you’ve had another locksmith work on your Renault or Dacia and now have more problems than before – we can help.
