Engine Died & Carly OBDII Scam

As with most things engine related, they just throw you a nice surprise every so often, and this week I got a lovely new fault in terms of my engine just cut out while I was driving and I lost all power without warning!
I used the Carly scanner in the past to fix the add blue issues but this time around it seems Carly have superseded the product I bought with a new device, and then they've blocked the old product I have from full working with their software, despite paying for a full 12 months subscription only 8 months ago!
At least the new windscreen was a big success, well on their 2nd visit at least!

Hi John, interesting video as always. With reference to your fuel leak fault, the ecu in your van is detecting excessive fuel leak off not an external fuel leak, that’s the reason your getting a fuel rail pressure fault code also., this due to excessive high pressure fuel leak off, the high pressure fuel rail in turn can’t maintain the correct pressure to give sufficient power when your throttle input is upwards of 50% My advice if you want to take it, is make sure your fuel filter is replaced with a good quality filter ( Mann, Bosch or genuine) if that makes no difference, get an injector leak off test carried out on your injectors. Excessive injector leak off would give you the faults & performance symptoms your having.

[@janedoe6350]

Smell your dipstick.... can you smell fuel? If you have a leaking injector you will have fuel in your oil and you should be able to smell it. It may also help to buy a new fuel cap. If it's leaking fumes to the air, you will have problems in your evap system. It's a cheap elimination. Finally, have the potentiometer checked on the throttle body... or at least spray it with contact cleaner. If it's faulty, the computer won't know what position your throttle is in when you need extra power.

I had my Range Rover Sport remapped, did a quick test drive as you do, thought great. On my way home to Dorset (had it done in Wales) I realised my Cruise Control was no longer working. Contacted the fella who did the remap and he was absolutely certain it couldn't be the remap. Took it to a specialist, they did quick diags and said a couple of things didn't agree so Cruise was disabled. Full diags were going to cost hundreds. I bought a Kingbolen ediag mini, it interrogates all the modules and shows live values (about £60), all looks fine. On much deeper investigation it does look like the map file could be for the wrong vehicle. So next I had my motorhome remapped (2.0 boxer 130bhp to 180bhp) - huge difference and pulls like a train. Spoke to the fella who did that remap and he's going to back out the remap on the RR and put the old file back on, we'll soon find out what the issue is. Trouble is the guy who did the original remap just doesn't want to know - guess I'll have to be a little firmer in my next contact if it was his remap. Tread carefully mapping out the DPF - it might cause more issues.

[@johnwhitehead2324]

Hi John. Similar probs with our self build on a Citroen relay. Euro 6 and basically trouble waiting to happen. Travelling through Spain, limp mode, paid a Spaniard 300 euro to change the dpf filter worked for 100 miles. We bought a reader and I removed the faults. As we got home we took it to a garage and they found it to be a adblue fault. It's sorted now, I've done 5k since with no issues. Adblue is a con . Anyway best of luck ..

[@roadwarrior8560]

It's all a con. the whole climate BS as well.

[@mikesmith-m0juj216]

Hi John, I had a similar experience with Carly except that they did eventually respond to the zendesk help requests and they did sort my problem out. So I know they aren’t a scam they are just woefully inefficient. An important point to note is that they put you on automatic resubscription to the app, so you need to contact them to take you off of auto renew, otherwise you will be paying again for a service you will no longer want. Keep going mate, love the vids. 😊

[@robertgillingwater]

I bought a Carly on a promotion (£50 subscription and free scanner) for my Audi and from day 1 they started the "support App" The scanner didnt arrive for 2 weeks so I lost 2 weeks of my subscription. So I complained alot , left poor reviews on Trustpilot and eventually they offered compensation e.g. 10% off price 20 extension to subscription etc. I accepted the latter and it seems to work. Note I also have an OBDeleven which works OK but less friendly but also no subscription!, I will be comparing them as Audis seem to run with 3 to 4 minor faults continually ref Emergency Assistance connection faults. I referred this to the main dealer - but no result!

[@MrTench8]

I had very similar symptons in a 2.0D jaguar X-type at about 110,000 miles which has a ford based engine, I took it to a diesel specialist who diagnosed 3 leaking injectors resulting in low fuel pressure in the common rail. This makes the ecu shut the engine down when fuel demand is higher than the lower pressure can support. A set of their own refurbed injectors sorted the problem and the car was trouble free up to when i sold it with 235,000 miles! Get your injectors checked, this low sulphur fuel is not good for them. I added 200ml of 2 stroke oil to every full tank of fuel after this work on their recomendation.

[@ianhogg4352]

Hi John. A bit of a long shot perhaps, but I had a remap done at the Norfolk show a couple of years back and on my way back to Scotland, I had the EML come on when I accelerated onto the A1M at Newark. The van dropped into limp mode but reset once I’d brought the engine revs down. To cut a long story short, the Remap company said not the remap ,as it had been out for at least 5 years. They suggested looking at the turbo wastgate arm for tightness / seizure. It was indeed seized, so after carefully freeing off, normal service resumed😊.

[@iangilburt3071]

Hi John. I can’t stress enough the importance of changing the fuel filter regularly. I used to work for a large breakdown company and I used to get this all the time! It worth the cost of eliminating the filter. X

[@lezbriddon]

mine was crap in the tank blocking the strainer similar fault dieing at lights and roundabouts.

[@do6604]

I have an UltraGauge in my truck, ODB2 with code scanner, code reset, 67 live gauges and interval alarms. I can recommend it highly.

[@Firthy77]

Morning John, in my experience of remapping companies they usually save your original map. That way if you’re having issues they can revert back to standard.

[@GadgetJohn]

The original remap company are no longer around 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@davidofcoburg9279]

Hey John, I recently bought a Foxwell scanner for my Ducato, and so far it seems to work ok and free software updates can be downloaded any time via a PC. I did consider a Bluetooth app based scanner and now glad I didn't. Good luck sorting it all out. Downunda Melbourne Australia

Hi John, I have a couple of these vans 2016 & 2021 when putting foot down to overtake a wagon van just cut out completely had to stop then restart this went on for months changed the injectors no more problems not cheep about £800 but well worth it hope you get yours sorted😊

Best of luck John, Hope Mandy feeling much better Steve from Manchester 🇬🇧

[@richardbrown5459]

I have heard multiple complaints of Carly service. Dont think you are alone. I think its way overpriced with the 100 quid annual renewal. Its refreshing to not see a KZbinr pushing out Carly as a sponsorship not mentioning the cost is annual.

[@johnturner9395]

Hello John, we have a Ford transit 2.2 litre euro 6 engine that was used across other manufacturers with similar problem to yours. If pulling away gently through the gears the engine was fine. However if acceleration was increased significantly in the RPM range 1700 t0 2000 the engine would falter and occasionally go into limp mode with the usual stop indications. With ignition off/on engine would restart fine and able to drive away. Although our vehicle only has 33k miles on it went straight to fuel system using the ForScan diagnostic software running on a laptop. This showed no errors in fuel pressure etc but to be on the safe side changed the fuel fileter and removed all 4 injectors having them tested at a Bosch service centre. They were all fine so then turned attention to ECU and sensors on DPF and SCR system. Again these all tested fine so in desperation took vehicle to Ford. They had it for a few hours and saw the fault but could not diagnose the issue in time given asking me to leave it with them for further work. I decided to take our vehicle back and try to sort myself using the same diagnostic kit that Ford used along with a year subscription to the Ford firmware support. After doing several trips whilst my wife held the laptop running real time diagnostics what I found was that in the RPM range between 1700 - 2000with acceleration applied the command for the ECU to EGR valve was say 5%, which would be about right because you dont want the EGR valve recirculating when engine under acceleration. However the EGR valve was snapping open to around 80% despite only having a command of 5% which resulted in the engine stumbling. Within a second or so the EGR valve would correct itself and drop back to around the command value. After some research and doing a few of the Ford on-line technician training courses on DFF and SCR systems it transpires that the RPM range of approx 1700-2000 is where the SCR is designed to operate (Euro 6 onwards) and the opening of the EGR valve is used to reduce exhaust temperature to lower NOX. Suspecting EGR valve might be faulty I changed it (it was a Pierburg) and fitted a Hella. Learn values were reset but after a few runs this was found to have only made a slight inprovement. So an original Pierburg EGR valve was fitted and after a re-learn the issue was resolved. Just another thought..........................

[@TheAdenau]

Get a leak off test done on the injectors, a single leaking injector (not externally, but back in the return) can cause the rail and high pressure side to drop below the 300-500 bar it needs.

[@marcmcavoy6313]

Hi John, thank you for this video. I was considering purchasing the Carly system, but after hearing of your issues with their support service, I'll look elsewhere.

[@johnshaw4140]

Pay extra and buy an Autel , they have actual humans on customer service

[@RafaelH-e8y]

Just to send a message. I am in the process of buying a reader/scanner and THAT is bad customer service (not necessarily a scam, but still). I will buy the other companys reader/scanner just because of that...

John. I have an Autel MK808 scanner and I'll be around Glews garage area near Goole on Saturday if you want to meet up and plug it in.

Try Mass airflow sensor if that’s faulty the van will cut out and this controls the fuel to your van and can make the engine stall and cut out and you will need to restart

When I needed to replace my AirBag ECU, the software that was commonly recommended was MultiECUscan. It was someone else who did it so I cant personally attest.

Hi John, check your EGR valve they always block up . U can remove it clean it out , it’s a bit of a job but definitely worth doing .

Try Pendle Performance. Very knowledgeable and will help with previous remap issues.

Try EOBD Facile OBD software , also it can be used with an OBD adapter for around £10 plenty about , enjoy

If the remap has not took into account the fuel or air mixture..Have the remap removed Put back to stock and see if that helps.

[@ciaranokelly3693]

John it might be worth bringing your van into a Peugeot dealership for an in depth diagnostic session. At least they should have the factory standard diagnostic tools to hand and possibly reset the ecu back to standard. That should give you a baseline to work from if you want to remap it in the future.

Get yourself an Autel AP200. Bought mine 5 years ago and still great today. Cost I think about £55 back then and you get one manufacturer free, in my case Jaguar and others can be added for an annual fee. There are no ongoing fees, if you just want the one manufacturer. It can do allsorts, including coding new keys in.

[@jmortster9417]

I've had past problems with remapping... I find plug and play modules a much better option. I have two vehicles fitted with products from Racechip , a German company with a very good reputation. Don't have your DPF cut out and mapped out because you will have a world of problems, noise and smoke issues. Also MOT failure. Get the engine running as it should and you will have no problems.

[@sjhorse4117]

I have a Racechip too, on a 115bhp Ducato Multijet2 , which I bought in a flashsale during covid lockdown - cheaper than a remap and I liked the idea of easy removal if ever needing to return to stock. There are naysayers on the web that claim such "piggyback" chips don't work, but generally speaking I'm pretty happy with it. Obviously didn't come with a dyno session, so I can't verify the claimed extra 30% power & torque, but it subjectively feels more powerful and is definitely more flexible to drive with improved fuel economy too.

[@zubeystinzen540]

Calling for boost on the turbo its possibly a boost leak,smoke test needed for a possible seal gone. Just a thought

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

Quite often when it reports a leak its because of low fuel pressure.. Its logik works it out that the required pressure is not getting to the fuel rail so must be leaking from somewhere... As previously said try the fuel filter... also egr valves give simular fault symptoms....

[@royedwards8713]

Hi John i had my camper re mapped at one of the warner shows , i had my doubts ,about having it done ,after 4 weeks it burned my clutch out , they had my saved data from ecu and they put it back one ,i should check with who done yours and get it put back to normal 👌

[@kevinhughes9801]

Hi John nice video thanks for sharing. Just wanted to let you no I had exact same symptoms as you but in a non mapped diesel car and all error codes were complaining about fuel. Long story short my issue was a stuck egr valve so if you have one which guessing you might if not had dpf delete yet then that could be same for you. Hope that helps

[@hairadditions]

Bought mine 2 wees ago. Same lights as yours. Maybee you got the updated one.

[@martinbooker213]

Hi John, regarding your windscreen was the crack at the top? If so this could have been caused by the top tint! I've spent 20 years fitting window film and because the screen is laminated if you only film part of it you can get thermal cracking where as on side glass which is toughened it's not a problem. When you fit the new tint feel the temperature difference between the tinted part and lower down the screen, on a sunny day the difference is massive and the laminated glass isn't happy! Hope this makes sense? If you but a scree with the top tint factory fitted it's in-between the two layers of glass and not a problem, or use an external film and put it on the outside! But looks crap. One last thing do you still get sun in the UK??

[@09mantlek]

My work van does this. Not quite to that extent but basically as you say putting a LOAD on the engine. So uphill low RPM which causes you to put ya foot down over 80% for couple seconds it then goes into limp mode for about 5 seconds then fixes itself. Has done it before took it garage has had injectors twice and a fuel rail or something but still does it just not as bad so I just live with it xD Just rev it up a bit or slowly accelerate. As for the remap had this issue with my motorcycle when I had a fault on it. None of the genuine kawasaki dealers wanted to give me their time, I even went back to the previous tuner and put the stock map on it and kawsaki still refused to look at the bike, 3 different dealers.... One said "oh we can't access the ECU bcus the tuner would have put a key code on it" which was utter BS as I asked the tuner and he said that is not true!! garages just don't want to fix stuff anymore they want easy service work which we can all do our bloody selves. new vehicles getting more and more complicated with no actual support. :( Hope you get it sorted. Just an idea to change the fuel filter if it's cheap enough and check fuel rail pressure. My mothers diesel had a really bad issue once and it was just some bad fuel, changed fuel filter was fixed.

Fuel injector or throttle/pedal position sensor. Maybe start adding some WD40 to the injectors at the top in case you have to pull one out in few days, guessing you you keep water out of that area already from the scuttle and spray once and a while.

[@terrydewdney207]

It’s one of the throttle realise I had the same problem but I don’t know which one so they put free in and then you pay out😊

[@Me-lf5oj]

Change fuel filter because when it gets clogged it doesn’t deliver the right quantity of fuel in the time frame needed so the engine starves of fuel hence that’s why you get those errors and engine playing and don’t delete DPF because if it gets clogged you can get it cleaned professionally by chemical at high pressure or cut it and heat it at high temperature until it turns red hot which will burn all the blockage then blow it with high pressure air gun, it’ll be as good as new

[@SlimTortoise]

I'm hoping all works ok but I guessing the only issue will be when it goes for a MOT? They don't like warning lights on these days.

[@colinbourne8345]

Some Of them have a low pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank that gives the same fault codes if its failed... Do not do a DPF delete.. Dpf only block if you have an issue.. I.e fuel injector fault or something as simple as an ambient air sensor. Deleting the dpf is only masking the issue..

[@tommo9757]

Hi John. Could it be a partially blocked fuel filter? The sensor for the obd2 would be on the HP side of the pump but if insufficient fuel was getting to the sensor, it would think you have a leak. A partial blockage would be particularly noticeable on hard acceleration like you described. It would also be the easiest to check/replace.

[@GadgetJohn]

The errors show fuel leak du to more fuel, rather than less fuel, is being sent to the injectors.

[@tommo9757]

​@@GadgetJohn ah, yes....fair enough 😮

[@clutchdroptv4345]

It might be worth getting the Injectors tested as thats normally what causes a rail pressure fault they could be returning to much fuel which ecu is thinking a leak or (leak off) Its better to be safe than sorry as a dodgy Injector can cause melted pistons so engine failure this is a thing with common rail diesels

I had a sudden problem with my car. Started it in the driveway OK, switched off. One hour later went to start it and it would not idle. What can suddenly go wrong. So decided to buy a scanner and after a day researching, buying one like Carly which then connects to an app is that with errors from the reviews. So I bought an all in one and it found my problem. In fact I bought one from a German company who only make scanners.

[@SuperMARKNORMAN]

Have you changed your fuel filter? This would cause this problem

[@c11yan]

Do an injector leak off test - this is most likely an injector fault. Had this exact issue on one of our vans. I’d replace all injectors even if it is just one. What you are describing is an imbalanced injector. Common fault from say 5 years old onwards.

hi john, just a thought , i had the same warnings / diagnostic faults as you on the same van. turned out to be the swirl pot that the fuel pump sits in in the fuel tank allows the fuel in via a tiny trap door at the bottom. when my tank was full there was enough head of pressure to allow the fuel to enter, but as soon as the fuel level dropped the trap closed and swirl pot empties , so the pump wouldnt get enough fuel but the pump is still running thinking its got a mass fuel leek. hope its of some help

Hiya I'm a mechanic and work on those vans regularly if it's coming up with feul leak it's got possibly 1 of 2 faults u have a bad injector or ur fuel system is braking up internally and can be confirmed by taking the lift pump out of the fuel tank look in the tank if there is gold looking particles in the bottom sadly means everything needs to be replaced that has fuel tuch it as u can try and clean things like the tank but if it's gets in the pump or injectors will kill them only way to fix safety it to replaced it all if it was to do with re map can u not take back to the people that did it

Hi John, did you get anywhere with Carly? I got one and it doesn't seem to work with my car but they seem to be ignoring me. What's the best way to contact them? Thanks

[@richardcordier9671]

Hi john hope you get it sorted did you receive your hose clips ?

[@russellbawden1105]

Did you update the App since you last used it? Maybe the update isn’t as good now and could be why your not getting the same results. It’s happened to me on other Apps. Or conversely, maybe you need to update the App to make it work as it did before! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@GadgetJohn]

I updated the app and also used another phone with the latest app, both had the same issues with the scanner

[@peskyparttimers8239]

Sounds like a bad injector leaking back, I tried half a dozen different OBD scanner devices with the Boxer I had but ended up with a laptop and a Lexia interface and Diagbox setup as nothing else wanted to communicate with the ECU. The vans use "different protocols" to passenger cars apparently. Never did get to the bottom of the running issues with mine and sold it in the end and pulling out all of my remaining hair......

[@GadgetJohn]

It was fine before the remap and has been fine since the old remap was removed

[@peskyparttimers8239]

@@GadgetJohn I did wonder if that was the problem with mine (dodgy remapping) as it "allegedly" had 180BHP when I bought it and to be fair when it was running ok it went well. In the end I got rid as no garage would look at it, they are all "very busy" all of a sudden when you have got a sick common rail diesel.... It just used to randomly lose power at partial throttle openings which made it horrible to drive.

Good news on the new wind screen. No comment on the scammer.

[@grootjnr]

Honestly think after watching this and your previous video. I think it sounds like it is the Re-map that caused this issue. Due to different driving now? or just an unrelated issue? or maybe not. Either way I would be asking whoever did the remap to redo it. May just be a glitch, especially as there is no physical problems. p.s. Hope Mandy is doing better.

[@StevenGodfrey3956]

Won't be anything to do with your remap. The tuners don't take fuel pressure / delivery requirements past what the fuel pump / rail can handle .

[@GadgetJohn]

Reset the ecu to remove the remap & the problem goes away 👍🏻

[@gaznoo]

Just as a thought,you may be over thinking your problem,I have a very similar thing that's happened to me on my 2010 fiat ducato motorhome,for me they're where no codes but a lot on people where pointing to the throttle body,be it the body it self or the electric s ie water getting in,now my mh had been under cover for the last 6 months and so far no problem,s but my mh has not been remapped or anything like that it's just a thought

[@gaznoo]

Just to say it also been in a garage 2 times and as you say no fault found

[@gerrylaidler1492]

Had similar problem. Foot down …limp home mode. The scan tool £25 generic one said it was the potentiometer at the throttle of the fly by wire. I drive like an old man!!!! Tried to squirt contact cleaner on the connection and inside the potentiometer..partial success. My thoughts were that part of the throttle didn’t get enough use ie the plus 50% part. So now before I start I pump the throttle 5 times to the floor so that I pass the dodgy bit on the potentiometer. No trouble since But I never had it remapped so!!!! Just my three hapath for what it’s worth

Hello John, did you get the windscreen done with the insurance or did you just pay for it? Just curious? What does the windscreen cost when fitted by the professionals?❤

[@GadgetJohn]

It was sorted through my insurance.

[@geoffcampbell7846]

Sorry John, not much to offer here, except that since you've had the van for a while now and must have had the odd occasion to drive a little more briskly, let's say, so this issue probably isn't to do with the mapping, rather than a new signal from a sensor on the engine not working correctly and throwing the ECU off track. Hopefully, your new OBD will sort it out. 🙁

John I have a Peugeot 3008 and I was getting these messages, got it checked at Peugeot dealership and said it was the electronic accelerator pedal sensor they replaced the peddle and it happened again, turned out to be a loom was arking on the body. When they fitted these engines, the right hand drive looms were basically stretched across the engine, were the left hand drive was a snug fit. Maybe go to a Peugeot dealership 👍

[@GadgetJohn]

The pedal passes the tests fine 👍🏻
