The Technician’s Secret Weapon

What is Delphi VTI? 

Delphi VTI is a powerful platform that offers professional technical data for a wide range of vehicles. It is available in two formats: 

• As a standalone package 
• Integrated directly into your DS diagnostic tool 

Technicians can access data for both CAR (Passenger & Light Commercial Vehicles) and HEAVY DUTY (Trucks & Trailers), ensuring comprehensive coverage across multiple vehicle types. 

Key Benefits for Technicians 

1. Correct Diagnosis 

Modern vehicles are highly complex, incorporating multiple electronic control units (ECUs) and sophisticated systems. Delphi VTI provides essential technical data such as fault codes, wiring diagrams, and system layouts, enabling technicians to diagnose faults accurately. 

2. Precision Repairs 

Each vehicle has manufacturer-specific repair procedures, torque settings, and component tolerances. Access to precise technical data ensures that repairs are conducted correctly, reducing errors and rework. 

3. Enhanced Safety 

Incorrect repairs can jeopardise vehicle safety. With access to Delphi VTI, technicians can ensure critical systems such as brakes, airbags, and steering operate correctly after repairs. 

4. Increased Time Efficiency 

By providing quick access to wiring diagrams, part locations, and troubleshooting guides, Delphi VTI eliminates the need for time-consuming trial and error, allowing technicians to work more efficiently. 

5. Compliance with Regulations 

Many countries enforce strict vehicle safety and emissions standards. Using Delphi VTI ensures that repairs and maintenance comply with regulatory requirements, preventing potential legal issues. 

6. Accurate Parts Compatibility 

Technical data provides precise details about part numbers, dimensions, and compatibility. This reduces the risk of using incorrect components, which can lead to failures and additional repair costs. 

7. Warranty and Liability Protection 

Following manufacturer-approved specifications protects vehicle warranties and minimises the risk of liability due to improper repairs. 

8. Improved Vehicle Performance 

Using the right technical information ensures that repairs and maintenance preserve vehicle performance, fuel efficiency, and overall longevity. 

Common Fault Codes Solved with VTI 

One of the most practical benefits of Delphi VTI is its ability to assist technicians in diagnosing and resolving fault codes efficiently. Here are some examples of fault codes that technicians can diagnose and resolve using Delphi VTI: 

• B200F – VW Golf GTI 2.0 
• P018C - RENAULT KAJAR 1.5 DCI K9K
• 2A1100 - BMW X3 2.0i

By having access to precise fault code explanations and repair steps, technicians can save time and ensure accurate repairs.
