Description
If you’ve replaced or retrofitted a control module and your vehicle now shows Component Protection Active, SAFE CP, restricted functions, warning messages, or disabled features, your car is likely affected by VAG Component Protection — often linked to fault code P02095. This issue affects vehicles across the UK, but professional removal requires the vehicle to be brought to our specialist facility in Birmingham, West Midlands. Component Protection is a factory security system used across the VAG Group (Audi, Volkswagen, SEAT, Škoda and more) to prevent unauthorised module installation. When a module is swapped, retrofitted, or moved between vehicles, the car limits functionality until the module is correctly authorised using advanced tools and specialist software.UTL Performance provides a specialist Component Protection Removal service in West Midlands Birmingham to remove Component Protection and restore full factory functionality using genuine manufacturer-level diagnostic and programming tools (including online authorisation where required).

Stephen Mcoy –
I recently had my component protection removed by this company, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish. The team was prompt, professional, and very helpful throughout the process, making everything straightforward and stress-free.
The waiting room was comfortable and relaxing, which made the short wait even more pleasant. Most importantly, the work was completed exactly as required, with great attention to detail and no issues at all.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the service and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and efficient work.
