Product Spotlight: LAUNCH X-431 EURO LINK
If you’re looking for a professional diagnostic tool that genuinely keeps up with the demands of a modern workshop, the X-431 EURO LINK is well worth a look.
Built for flexibility and performance, it gives you full system diagnostics across a huge range of vehicles, from everyday cars to hybrids and EVs. You’ve got everything you need in one place too, fault code reading, live data, coding, activation tests and over 30 service functions, all running from a fast, easy-to-use tablet.
What really stands out is how much time it saves day to day. Features like SmartLink remote diagnostics and cloud-based reporting mean you’re not tied to the vehicle or guessing your way through jobs. You can diagnose smarter, faster and with more confidence.
It’s also built to grow with your business. With software packages and add-ons available, you can tailor it to the kind of work you do without needing to replace the whole system down the line.
Whether you’re an independent garage or dealing with a mixed workload, the EURO LINK is designed to make life easier on the tools and improve turnaround times.
We are currently experiencing issues with our phone lines this afternoon and hope to have them back up and running shortly.
In the meantime, please email sales@launchtech.co.uk with your enquiry and request a call back. A member of our team will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.

Cheap Diagnostic Tools Can Cost You More Than You Think!
If you’ve seen LAUNCH diagnostic tools being sold suspiciously cheap online, there’s usually a reason.
Grey imports and counterfeit tools might look identical at first glance, but they often come with no UK warranty, no official support, and limited software access.
That can mean:
- No access to key vehicle systems or secure gateways
- No official software updates
- No UK technical support when something goes wrong
- Potential compliance or legal issues for your workshop
Buying through LAUNCH Tech UK’s authorised dealer network ensures you get:
- Genuine equipment
- Full UK warranty and support
- Access to the latest software updates
- Proper licensing for modern vehicle security systems
For workshops that rely on accurate diagnostics and reliable equipment, cutting corners on your tools simply isn’t worth the risk.
Our LAUNCH DPF Gun Particulate Filter Cleaning Fluid is now back in stock.
Designed to work with the LAUNCH DPF Cleaning Gun, this powerful solution helps dissolve soot and particulate build-up inside the DPF, even in cases where a forced regeneration alone may not be enough. The process can be carried out with the DPF still on the vehicle, helping save time and avoid unnecessary replacements.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are now common across modern vehicles, from adaptive cruise control and lane assist to blind spot monitoring and emergency braking. While these systems improve safety, they also introduce new challenges for workshops.
Even routine jobs like wheel alignment, suspension work, windscreen replacement or bumper repairs can affect the position of cameras and radar sensors, which may lead to warning lights or system faults if calibration is not carried out correctly.
Because ADAS relies on multiple sensors working in precise alignment, even small issues such as misalignment or communication errors can trigger faults or system warnings.
In our latest article, we explore:
- Why ADAS faults are increasing in modern workshops
- How routine repairs can impact vehicle safety systems
- The growing importance of calibration and diagnostics
- What workshops need to know as vehicle technology evolves
If you work on modern vehicles, this is something you cannot afford to ignore.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems are now standard on modern vehicles, but with them comes a growing need for accurate calibration after repairs, windscreen replacement, or alignment work.
- Fully foldable design – easy to transport and ideal for mobile calibration
- Five-line laser alignment system – ensures precise positioning with minimal setup
- Wide vehicle coverage – supports 95%+ of ADAS-equipped models
- Compact target system – easier storage and quicker deployment
- Perfect for workshops and mobile technicians
As ADAS technology becomes more common across the vehicle parc, having the right calibration equipment is no longer optional... it’s essential.
Modern vehicles are now secure electronic ecosystems, and without authorised SGW access your diagnostic tool can get locked out of key functions.
The Launch Tech UK Security Gateway Multipack gives your workshop the OEM‑approved access you need for full diagnostics, coding, resets, DPF regens, ADAS work (where applicable) and more — all through your existing Launch device.
We’ve just published a brand‑new Launch UK & IRL blog diving into why an engine flush before an oil change can make a real difference in performance and longevity.
Whether you’re a technician, workshop owner, or just passionate about proper vehicle maintenance, this breakdown is packed with insight you can put to work straight away.
Stop sending DPF jobs elsewhere. With the Launch UK DPF Gun Kit, you can professionally clean and restore diesel particulate filters in-house — quickly, effectively, and without removal.

Launch UK is set to unveil its latest range of exceptional automotive diagnostic tools, harnessing the most up to date technology at Automechanika Birmingham 2019 on stand Y154, taking place at the NEC from 4 - 6 June.
Premiering at the event is the new EuroTab II, the most advanced diagnostic tool available from Launch. The workshop ready EuroTab II comes with a 10.1” screen and 2.0 GHZ 8-Core. Based on the latest Android technology and Launch’s innovative vehicle software, the Eurotab II creates a high-end diagnosis solution, while bringing a wealth of benefits, including wide manufacturer coverage, powerful test functions, dealer-level functions and accurate live data.
Also new is the SmartBox 3.0, a high-end multi-function diagnostic connector and, X-431 ADAS, the latest automotive ADAS camera and radar calibration equipment developed by Launch UK. When used in conjunction with X-431 EURO PRO 4 or X-431 EURO TAB, it enables technicians to simply calibrate camera- and radar-based ADAS systems.
Visitors will also catch a glimpse of the new BST-860 battery tester system, offering a complete testing solution for technicians. Suitable for testing 6 V, 12 V and 24 V batteries, as well as the Stop/Start battery and other related electrical systems, the BST-860 comes with an integrated thermal printer, so that users can hand the testing report to customers.
Pilot TPMS is a professional diagnostic tool that integrates the passenger vehicle’s basic diagnostic functions, common special functions and TPMS sensor activation, reading, programming (LAUNCH RF-Sensor) and learning. Covering more than 30 imported vehicle brands, it activates reading tire pressure information via low-frequency or high-frequency reception signals and resets the TPMS module by OBD interface.
Expanding the Launch range will be the TIT-201 Thermal imaging Camera. Using advanced infrared technology, the product can convert the radiation information into image and clearly display it on screen. It plays an integral part in engine fault diagnosis and exhaust pipe tests to name but two.
Among other product highlights, Launch offers additional advantages such as excellent technical support, a 24-month warranty and two years’ worth of free updates worth over £600.
Launch’s technical experts will be on stand to offer their technical know-how and answer any questions.
Dave Richards, Launch UK managing director, said: “Attending Automechanika is the ideal platform to unveil our latest range of advanced diagnostics solutions to the aftermarket, and the perfect opportunity to show customers the extensive level of support they receive when using Launch products.
“We continue to push ourselves beyond any other brand, underpinning our expertise in providing key solutions to technicians and garages throughout the UK.”
