Remote Hydraulic Diagnostic Support

When a hydraulic system keeps failing, every hour of downtime costs money. MGR Fluid Engineering offers remote diagnostic support – a structured consultation via Microsoft Teams that puts expert hydraulic fault finding in front of your engineering team quickly, without waiting for a site visit.

Get in touch

Is this for you?

If your hydraulic system is causing repeated problems, you are probably familiar with the cycle: a component fails, you replace it, the system runs for a while, and then the same fault returns. Or something different fails. The root cause is never quite identified.

Remote diagnostic support is designed for engineers and maintenance managers who:

  • Are experiencing recurring hydraulic system breakdowns
  • Have already replaced components without resolving the underlying fault
  • Need specialist input quickly but cannot justify the cost or delay of a site visit
  • Want a structured, expert-led approach to fault finding rather than trial and error

How it works

Step 1 — Book a Teams session

Get in touch with MGR to arrange a Microsoft Teams call at a time that works for you and your team. These sessions are typically attended by whoever knows the system best – whether that is a maintenance engineer, a production manager, or both.

Step 2 — Review the problem history

At the start of the session, we will take you through a structured review of the fault history. You will share what the system does, when failures occur, what has already been tried, and any patterns you have noticed. The more context you can provide, the faster the diagnostic process.

Step 3 — Work through schematics and system parameters

Where schematics are available, we will work through the hydraulic circuit with you – identifying where pressures, flows and temperatures should be, and where anomalies in the system point toward a cause. If schematics are not available, the diagnostic is adapted accordingly.

Step 4 — Structured fault finding

Using a proven diagnostic process developed over decades of hydraulic engineering experience, we work through the most likely causes systematically – ruling out factors and narrowing the diagnosis to the most probable root cause.

Step 5 — Summary of agreed actions

At the end of the session, you receive a clear written summary of the findings and the recommended course of action. This gives your team a concrete plan to work from, whether that means a specific component check, a circuit modification, or a follow-up onsite visit.

What you get

  • Fast access to specialist hydraulic expertise – without waiting weeks for a site visit
  • A structured diagnostic process, not guesswork
  • Reduced fault finding time for your maintenance team
  • A written summary of findings and agreed next steps
  • Honest advice on whether a fault can be resolved remotely, or whether an onsite survey is the right next step

When you need more than a remote session

Some faults cannot be diagnosed remotely – particularly where physical inspection, pressure testing or component measurement is needed. If the remote session points toward something that requires hands-on investigation, we will tell you clearly and can arrange an onsite hydraulic health survey.

Remote diagnostic support works best as a first step: it quickly establishes what is and is not causing the problem, and ensures that any onsite visit – if needed – is targeted and productive rather than exploratory.

We luckily had Mike as Operations Director where we succeeded in growing the business in areas where we had previously passed by adding his technical, no fuss approach.

Our business learnt from his skills to independently design hydraulic systems, providing schematics and bills of materials.

Key attributes were on site services - fault finding, focussing on the root cause, advice of maintenance and provision of documentation such as Written Schemes of Examination for Accumulators.
