Problem: The owner of a Skoda Octavia A7 2.0 TFSI 16V contacted STS (Warsaw) again with complaints about the incorrect operation of the electric steering rack, which had previously been repaired by our company. After approximately 28,900 km of mileage since the repair, the unit lost its power, extraneous noises appeared, and the steering feel changed. The customer considered the case to be covered by warranty.

Problem: A Land Rover was brought to the STS workshop in Warsaw with a request to repair the generator. According to the customer, the car had already been to another service center, where the starter-generator, one of the most expensive components of a mild hybrid, was identified as the cause of the MHEV system malfunction.

Problem: A 2016 Tesla Model S equipped with a Tesla Base electric motor was brought to the STS workshop for repair. During operation, powertrain errors related to insulation failure occurred. The cause was a coolant leak into the electric motor due to loss of seal tightness.

Problem: A Maybach 57/62 (2002–2011) experienced a generator malfunction. The charging system was not functioning correctly, which posed a risk to the stable operation of numerous electronic modules. Replacing the unit was not considered the best option due to the extremely high cost of the original generator and its limited availability.

Problem: The 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV had an unstable cabin heating system, which led to incorrect behavior of the hybrid unit and frequent switching between electric mode and the internal combustion engine.

Problem: The 2019 Range Rover 3.0 T-GDI was not equipped with sliding thresholds from the factory, which made getting in and out of the car less convenient, especially in winter. Installing original OEM thresholds would have been very expensive.

Problem: The owner of a second-generation Nissan Leaf contacted STS.Electro with a complaint: the car only charges from a fast charging station, but does not accept a slow charging gun (Type 1).

Problem: In a diesel-electric Peugeot 508 HYbrid4 Berline 2.0 HDi 163 FAP (DW10CTED4), the owner encountered a complete shutdown of the hybrid system – the engine would not start, and numerous fault warnings appeared on the instrument panel.

Problem: The hybrid Audi Q7 lost almost half of its electric range — instead of 40 kilometres on a single charge, it only managed 18.

Problem: We were contacted by the owner of a Peugeot e-208 electric car. After charging to almost 100%, the electric car stopped accepting a charge, and the system displayed a second-level overvoltage error.

Problem: In a 2018 Peugeot 308 with a 1.2 PureTech engine, the oil pressure warning light was constantly on.

Problem: The owner of a Karma Revero hybrid was unable to drive his car for over eight months: the engine would only start for a few minutes at a time, and the battery would not charge.

Problem: The Dacia Spring car would not start or charge due to a reversed battery polarity and a faulty DC/DC+charger unit.

Problem: The owner of a Hyundai i30 encountered a knocking noise in the steering caused by wear on the power steering drive pinion inside the steering column.

Problem: A well-known logistics service provider brought in three electric vans for repair after their high-voltage batteries failed. In one of them, the battery was dismantled.
