Nice job with the re-thread, Jimmy! Especially in an awkward to get to position.

Another top job Jimmy. Word seems to be getting about that you are the man. These campervans and motorhomes just don't do sufficient mileage or as you said owner's start them up for 15/20 mins every so often. It seems to me that it would be better to plug in the mains hookup lead & charge the vehicle & leisure batteries that way?

[@user-gg5qx2ci6x]

Hi Jimmy, great videos learning a lot. does the vaporiser system stop oil dilution?.

[@YarmouthMark]

I like the launch reader. I don't like the fact you can't select your own permanent settings and save them such and MPH and oC. They limit you to straight Imperial and Metric which means you have to go by one or the other.

[@Bigman-st1cy]

Good job

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks

[@ufostarman]

Hi Jimmy. I have the same faults on my 2016 boxer 2.2, Changed the vaporizer as it was completely blocked but still the p1490 code is still up and revs wont go any higher than 1800rpm,any idea what j should try next any belp wojld be greatly appreciated i cant bring it to you as i live in ireland.

[@tonydaddario4706]

Jimmy, when you heat the vaporizer's thread do you rapidly cool it with a squirt of cold water? You might have to repeat but that usually cracks a seized thread.

[@ORileysAutos]

I don't cool it just straight to the spanner

[@tonydaddario4706]

Thought it might help, the rapid cooling helps unseize brake calliper bleed nipples when I've used that technique.@@ORileysAutos

[@jethrolambrechts6132]

Hello, do you see a big difference with the air compressor metod and your old metod with the dispenser ?

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes massive difference

[@bareyz]

Could you do a test on a semi-blocked vaporizer with DPF cleaning products that go into the fuel tank? Would be interested to see if its worth using them as prevention to get the vaporizer blocked or if they only work on the DPF

[@ORileysAutos]

How? By letting it soak in a pot?

[@bareyz]

@ORileysAutos yeah for example, the fluid being dilluted with some fuel to be realistic as possible, or pushing through the vaporizer with a pump, cheers man!

[@irelandshistoryhunters5059]

Any dpf vids on the Vauxhall insignia m8

[@louisbruce1939]

Could you fire some dpf cleaner down the vaporizer to clean that out?

[@ORileysAutos]

Only if partially blocked

[@MyMike1946]

Hi jimmy I’m a retired mechanic who still dabbles with doing jobs for people, I’ve never had diagnostic equipment and would hope you could advise me on a Launch scanner that would work for me. Cheers Mike

[@ORileysAutos]

Its impossible for me to say as depends on many factors. Have a look on www.launchtech.co.uk or give them a call

[@Camerasdontlie]

Hi Jimmy have you come across a fault with a vw Passat 2012. Parking brake fault light on the dash but the parking brake is working fine. It’s the 2012. 1.6 TDI. Hello from Dublin!!!!!!!

[@ORileysAutos]

One of the rear calipers probably not engaging

[@Camerasdontlie]

@@ORileysAutos I’ll check and let you know Jimmy cheers bud.

[@maxbee4460]

Do you never have problems with Volvos? I’ve never seen one on your videos?

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes I have some

[@lawrenceflanagan5037]

how long would it last till blocked again,in general.

[@Cheepchipsable]

Depends how often and far they drive it.

[@woughtanker3240]

Quick question... why does a forced regen require an oil change? does it overheat the oil?

[@Ben-in6qh]

It puts so much diesel through the engine you get bore wash and the oil level will rise, for the environment you know

[@phoenixdundee]

@@Ben-in6qh It also eats wet belts, main reason for engine failures on wet belt engines is forced regens without oil change.

[@Ben-in6qh]

@@phoenixdundee wet belts are just Ford being idiots, I'd say that's backfired on them somewhat

[@phoenixdundee]

@@Ben-in6qh There are lots of wet belts out there on diesels now, not just ford. Nothing wrong with a wet belt if you look after the engine.

[@woughtanker3240]

@@Ben-in6qh Thanks for the info, much appreciated. The whole DPF thing seems to be yet another instance of vehicles becoming way too complicated. I have an old Hiace which stood for two years out in the open under trees before I bought it.... two new batteries and it started and failed it's MOT on ..... a rear light bulb 🤣 sure. it doesn't have electric windows or aircon and could do with a 6th gear but I'll be keeping it as it just goes on and on - even more than my ex-wife did
