And so the drama continues the turbo is still not working correctly!
In this weeks vlog I will show you how I clear the turbo boost engine management and glow plug fault light on our VW Crafter,
This vlog takes me to the edge, I even contemplate calling it a day on KZbin

We list both crafter and sprinter in the title as they are one and the same vehicle shell and many of the parts we use fit both types of the van

KZbin is one of the hardest 'jobs' going Sam. I was pushing to upload once a week at the same time without missing. It almost broke me. I made the decision to record, edit and upload when I feel like it now. Any earnings I manage to make is just a bonus.

I’m owe you more than a beer if we ever meet along the way. Thanks again, much appreciated.

Hey Sam - I am in awe about your resilience to finally get the mess with the dash emojis sorted. Cudos for that. 🙂👍 This sort of video helps me and others to get smarter, save time and is very, very valuable content. It will help many others in the long run. I can certainly empathize with your YT thoughts. Producing video material whilst working on the van means setting up the camera, the lighting, taking care of the audio and moving all of that for every shot to get proper angles. And it's worse if you're doing this on your own, when you are protagonist, camera man, lighting dude and audio guy - all at the same time. Finding out that one of the cams wasn't turned on, the battery went flat or the sound did not record. After shooting all of it, you now get to cut, sync, normalize, add the regular doo-dads, lead-in, lead out and title it. Render and upload. Read comments (stay awake for the legthy ones - like this one), add likes, even answer some of them. Out of my own experience, every minute of video endproduct took 5-10 minutes to get it there. Most people have absolutey no clue of the work involved to produce content. If this puts contnued and undue stress on you, your family or your health - give it a rest or reduce the hours. Spend time with friends and family. Look at the priorities. Cheers from Germany - stay safe and see ya soon. 🚐☁🍀

You’re opening statement ‘if it just helps one person, it was worth doing’ - remember that! I don’t understand those that do it for the money and then get the stress of doing it. You do not ‘have’ to do one every week, do it for your pleasure, knowing it helps folk. If you can’t think of anything to churn out, don’t, it’s that simple. I enjoy your videos because you’re not a KZbin sponger! The amount of crap that the usual suspects are pushing, along with their advertising reviews of Chinese junk just devalues them. Keep it coming, when you’re ready. Cheers

Sam these things can always get on top sometimes but you persevere and get it done. My own build has been one long series of frustrations and has turned into no more than a driveway ornament. Everytime i start to make a bit of progress, life sends me another curved ball and the covers go back on. In three years I've spent just under 7 months working on it. People like you keep me inspired and keep me motivated, so never underestimate the power of the content you put out. Don't feel pressured, the honesty and integrity of your content is way more important. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

The reason your vacuum disappeared is because you had the pipe disconnected from the actuator on the turbo which also has a sensor on top, when the ECU didn't see any movement with the sensor it shut the valve you replaced down. When you restart the engine and the fault is away for a minute or so, thats because most VAG group vehicles automatically reset the fault, because your fault is not electrical but a tolerance issue, where the ecu wants to see movement of the turbo vane actuator as a signal of voltage, and that doesnt match a reference value it will bring up your fault. But not instantly like you would see with short circuits etc. In other words this is a mechanical issue with the turbo vanes. I can usually diagnose this by removing the pipe on the actuator, starting the engine and watching how feeely the turbo vane rod will move and how far it moves. From experience I'd suspect the vanes are seized. Videos like this might make people appreciate properly equipped, trained and invested mechanics. Fair play for sticking at it, but any experience technician would of had this diagnosed in no time and not fired parts at it

Intermitant fault that many crafters suffer from and the so-called mechanics at vw struggle to find or even diagnose cost many people ££££ as they have to keep returning to the garage, in an attempt to determine the cause It turned out to be a piece of rubber that blocked a vacuum pump oil channel 😁👍

(Had I been well off I'd have had a ceremonial burning of the bastard!)

I learned (as you have now) never to trust a new part. I have chased faults because I thought a new part couldn't possibly be faulty - and in the end you chase your tail after spending even more money on replacing parts that were not required. For me it has been (in order of nightmare jobs) a suspension air compressor on one of my L322's, a starter motor on a V8 Discovery and the worst job of all - after 8 hours on ramps replacing an automatic gearbox on my Discovery discovering the parking pawl was shattered, which meant taking the whole thing down, splitting the transfer box off the back, replacing the pawl with the one from my old gearbox, and then having to replace all the seals and refit .... not something I was expecting!! The good news is you have your van back on the road and there are plenty of weekends coming up where it can take you places. Enjoy!!

I felt so bad for you watching this, Sam cos I have been through it with my van too as you know. Its just money money money. As for forums, they did my head in. If Id replaced everything they said was causing my probs I might as well have bought a new van. I sometimes think engines were invented to drag you down and suck you dry financially... And just like you did with replacing the turbo- I did the same with the adblue system and a few thousand quid and it didnt fix it-but my main stealers basically shafted me. The " we have to mend the one we sent you that was actually fualty" line would have really ****ed me off. Summat to be said for not bying refurrbed stuff as I learned too. Totally maddening-as is the attitude of places you buy stuff from who make you feel like its your fault. not good at all. I'm proper glad you managed to get the van sorted and can breathe a sigh of relief. At least the new bits you didnt need to change in the first place wont need replaceing in the future. Well done Sam for not giving in on your van. Well done for not packing in youtube. I have to tell you Id have been gutted to see you come off.Since I first started with Viv you have been an inspiration to me and I love our group on youtube too. You are a good man. Bessy regs-Kenny

@@TheCraftyBlindersvanlife I have a 2008 2.5 TDI. First turbo, MAP, MAF, N75 replaced, checked all vacuum lines and pump, pressure tested the entire pressure circuit from turbo to inlet manifold. Beside one time I made a test drive and reached 240 kPa and problem seemed to be solved ... when I made the final assembly something went off and the pressure never reached more than 160 kPa which dwindles down to 135 almost instantly. I am merely an amateur mecanic and finally in desperate mood brought it to a specialist tuning guy... who seems to have a bit of a struggle with it as well and even cosiders that there's another cause. Fingers crossed I hope I actually get some news from him today. I'll keep you posted! Have a nice Sunday

If you get stopped by DVSA the first thing they do now is plug into your OBD2 port and check to see what's deleted mate Anything to do with emmission and your vehicles will be sized and you fined up to 1k It's not worth the risk for me 👍

How did you find removing the original Manifold? I was going to do mine when my gasket went but was told it was a 7 hour job from a vw mechanic and a pain in the 🍑. Ended up taking yo a garage but still fancied having a go

For the record: that divvy who makes these videos, inspires me, motivates me, gives me advice on Instagram when I contact him, makes nice comments against my posts on insta and gives me skills, knowledge and experience! It’s wonderful that I and so many others learn from your content! You summed it up nicely, you’re a modern day story teller, if you get a buck or two off the side great, but remember why you started this, it was to share your families journey ! Keep it going buddy Crafty Adventures x
