About PitClue
PitClue is an independent reference for drivers and workshops: fault codes, warning lights, symptoms and the technical data behind them, built on official sources.
Our mission
When a warning light comes on or a fault code appears, drivers need a clear answer: what it means, how urgent it is and what to do next. PitClue exists to give that answer reliably, in plain language and backed by verifiable sources.
We bring together data that is usually scattered across public authorities, standards bodies and technical documentation, check it and present it in one consistent reference. Every page is written so that a driver can act on it safely and a professional can trace it back to its source.
Independence and funding
PitClue is free to read and funded by advertising. Our editorial decisions are made independently of advertisers: no page is paid for, and advertising never appears inside risk notes, diagnosis steps or tools.

Our editorial standards
Read our methodology →Official sources first
Technical data comes from public authorities and recognised standards. Every source is named on our Sources page with what we use it for.
Nothing estimated
We publish values that a source reports, not averages or guesses. Where a value is not verified, the page says so.
Risk shown first
Every technical page opens with how urgent the problem is and whether it is safe to keep driving.
Editorially independent
Advertising is labelled and kept away from risk notes, diagnosis steps and tools. No page is paid for, and advertisers have no say in what we publish.
Open about AI
AI helps us draft and translate. It is never used to create values such as capacities, torque figures or repair steps that are not in a source.
Corrected openly
Every error report is checked against the source. When we correct a page, its update date changes with it.
