Car dealer lies to my customer | Did I diagnose this car wrong? | Kerbside mobile mechanic daily EP3

[@richie674]

Full service my Ass Kerby , dealers getting evermore like Arthur Daley attitude, & this is why serious DIYers like me (30 years+ experience but not in commercial admittedly) have our own diagnostics at hand to do our own repairs etc , but of course there’s good people like yourself sharing your knowledge with us keep em coming mate ❤❤❤🤝🤝🤝

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah if you’re more than capable of servicing your own car and knowing what to check over on the car then 100% I’d encourage more to do so 👍🏼

[@mrsinghsgarage]

Respect for actually going ahead with the BMW. All too easy, and understandable, to just say no to the work when you realise someone else has been messing with it before

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Like I said 3 other mobile guys hadn’t shown up so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ttatimbo5830]

I can relate to that. Anything mobile and injector is a tough one for me probably for the same reasons as you. I did a transit recently - running fine but 2 intermittent injector faults. 1 injector came out easy. The other I couldn’t get out. Sent him to an injector specialist - that injector snapped on the way out and they had to use the full on injector tube removal screw kit on it! Was a nightmare so I’m glad I stopped before I snapped it off! Well done for getting the X5 sorted! Nice when they work out like that! 👍🏼

Well you have just gained one more!! We like your approach to problems, and will watch plenty more "Great Channel Thanks"

[@rogerkretzschmar8280]

Just do the basic servicing on our 2 cars , but every year strip and clean the brakes . It's a chore but just feel it has to be done . Nice to see a professional doing the same .

Great job ! BMWs are specific. THis one has also fuel line bleeding function by Diagnostic tool. You can use it next time . Also this one is M57 engine and this one does not a problem with HP fuel pump.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Great info 👍

Take a shot every time he says, "You won't be able to see this very well"! 🤣 I like the tip for getting nuts on in tight spaces.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Haha I know right 😂😂

Love what you do mate. Going into an apprentice mechanic job on Monday. Keep this stuff up, love learning and watching your process.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thanks mate 👍 good luck with it

[@markstanbridge2165]

another great video mate

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Thanks you 👍🏼

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

15:00 great tip! I use a magnet and then screw with the magnet until the nut holds.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah I use to do that but sometimes the nut doesn’t thread 😂😂

[@wynhughes9072]

Another tip I used to use was put some grease or even barrier cream if you use it into the socket then place the nut/bolt inside and it won't drop out. Same principle with a ring spanner.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah that’s another good one to use 👏👏

[@jamielavil4439]

Ive seen and dealt with the injector fault on a 6 cylinder bmw before , exactly the same symptoms and also number 6 that had failed , apparently its usually number 6 as its right at the back and water drips from the scuttle , probably explains the rust

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah and number 5, seems to be a common issue 🙄

[@dreamcrusher112]

My regular main dealer lost my respect a couple months ago for lying about a service too.oil supposedly only 2000 miles old but black as tar when I pulled it as i never got a proper invoice and a suspicious conversation. Is main dealer history worth it when you get engine failure thanks to their fibs?! Great vids. Back to doing car and bike myself.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Generally speaking oil can go quite dark almost straight away on either high mileage or diesel cars, I don’t rate main dealers one bit unfortunately

[@dreamcrusher112]

@@kerbsidemobilemechanic agreed, but it’s a low mileage performance petrol!

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Ah well yeah I’m that case maybe they didn’t do it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mate I feel your pain was mobile for years up here in Glasgow where rainy season can be all year round at times, when winter comes you just hope for a frozen day just to get a break from the wet...... brings back good memories and bad memories......and as for being supplied wrong parts 😡🤬 bad enough in a garage never mind mobile

have an x5 myelf so had a very keen interest in this one 'just in case', but to be honest as much as i knew the injectors had to be coded, i had no idea if incorrect it would cause the car to be effectivly a non runner..thanks for the info fella @@kerbsidemobilemechanic

SMA with Eric O , he has some interesting fuel injector testing using a scope. It's amazing what can be diagnosed without removing components. The scope is a bit pricy though.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah Eric O is such a knowledgable guy, makes it look simple I think, yeah uses a pico scope, one day I might invest 👍

Funny you should ask, I’ll be doing a review on this soon amzn.to/3T6HGao

[@satinkuti5875]

Cant believe how many times people fuck up the codes on the injectors. Sometimes they even put a wrong injector in there, the codes need to match.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

You’d have thought it can’t be that difficult right

[@satinkuti5875]

[@scotspie501douglas7]

if you dont put injector code in will it run ,I,m told its only for fine tuning

[@kirwanjohn101]

The injector code must always match the cylinder position that they are fitted in the engine. That is why the car was cutting out.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Yeah ok to start it and run but as soon as any load (fine tuning you can call it) was just stalling 👍

[@stuartjenkins3506]

Main dealers are cowboys in my experience, I always take a full service history with a pinch of salt as I've seen a Renault Clio that had a supposedly full main dealer history, the oil and fuel filter had never been changed in over 40k since it was new. Plus many now suck the oil out through the dipstick tube to save time removing plastic undertrays etc.

[@kerbsidemobilemechanic]

Totally agree with you mate, apart from I’ve seen videos of people sucking the oil out and getting the same if not more amount of oil out of a sump
