How To Test & Clean Upstream Pressure Sensor Of Turbine / Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor

this type of Sensor is fitted to most modern diesel engine cars and vans and it has a very small diameter metal pipe that is prone to soot blockage that affects the readings and therefore causes running issues or power loss. it can usually also be associated with blocked DPF Diesel Particulate Filter
most common vehicles I see with this is Renault. Nissan. BMW.

Great to see you back Jimmy, I know it’s not easy to lose a parent, but getting back does help in the long run

[@davidmehlhorn726]

Welcome back Jimmy. You’ve been missed. Condolences on the passing of your Dad. Hope you’re doing ok.

[@retrorecordings]

I guess that a lot of mechanics from all entire Europe are learning with your vids. Thanks a lot!!!😊

[@davidjwack]

Good to see you back. I spent £400 with a so called mechanic to replace an exhaust sensor, all that was needed was a small £2 rubber tube. Wish I found you first.

Jimmy the best saved me thousands 🙏🏼

[@tidysampler585]

It’s great to see you back again. My condolences on your loss. It’s thanks to you, that I don’t waste money at garages these days. It’s your videos that teach me. My MK4 Mondeo T’x 2.2 tdci likes to give me headaches.

[@paulrosan6816]

Exactly this 👍

[@DarrenUren7]

Exactly saved lots basically we are all expert mobile mechanics now

[@sprograt]

[@KipKippax]

Glad to see my suggestion re using a guitar string as worked for you Jimmy , not sure what name I would give it though , Maybe "The Hendrix" ?

[@thindo]

Delighted to see you back.. Not easy at the moment but hopefully with time it will be less hard

[@558vulcanxh]

Hello Jimmy, just to say this is the best video I've seen on clearing this dpf and piping out because you were patient showing us the steps and stuff required for your job , and although I don't have this engine, I should think the systems are broadly similar (2.litre Vauxhall ) .So far I've been lucky insomuch as there are some nice hills round here , to drive up, Macclesfield area, so I've not had to much trouble when the dreaded " DPF filter full, keep on driving MANDATORY " 😮 Message appears but one day, I'll keep this video in mind if it doesn't clear itself .Nice to see you back and thanks for this again 😊👍👍

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Condolences, Jimmy! Another great job, as usual. Glad that you're back.

[@cliffperry8470]

Yes good to see you back and with more variety of being a mobile mechanic , but don’t stop the dpf work .

[@MummaBear]

Understanding the diagnostics is very interesting. 👍

[@ORileysAutos]

It sure is

[@petersomthing9508]

Just over 2 years ago i done the same but i used EGR cleaner to put in the tube ,Nissan T32 Xtrail Garage said you should not do that but it worked, gaiter on the Exhaust was the problem , but i think best use gloves long sleeves with drill / wire i was stupid and the wire whipped my arm, great video again .

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks for sharing

[@1954307]

The g string is ingenious! I did it with welding wire and it took ages.

[@ORileysAutos]

[@marksenior9220]

Nice to see you back! Using 9” on a g string. That’s a new one on me😂😂

[@StephenBrown-ti6mm]

🤣🤣🤣O"reilly the cat snatcher that was funny great video yet again.

[@cypeman8037]

When you put the sensor on I thought, "he's editted out the fluid going in" 😂

[@careyautorepairs]

You defo need a name for that drill and g string.

[@granddadmark7639]

Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers as the tool name 😅

[@rickardkevaanranta7808]

I would like you to explain how this method of going through upstream pressure sensor differs from differential pressure sensor. How these different sensors are connected to the DPF/Turbo. I'm just a novice and likes to learn through your videos. Condolences to your loss.

[@markbos4]

Good morning, i have a question. Since this pipe is connected to the exhaust manifold, meaning the dpf fluid goes through the turbo first, wouldn't it be better to inject the fluid through the hole where the nox sensor is located? In this way you spray the fluid directly on to the dpf if i'm not mistaken. Thanks for the great videos by the way.

[@558vulcanxh]

Ps, reading on, I didn't know you had lost a parent , please accept my condolences for your sad loss ✨️

[@mattlernihan6430]

Jimmy am an old Irish mechanic in NZ have you ever thought of an old speedo cable for unblocking the pipe

[@georgeross9834]

Yea Jimmy

[@fatclio]

What do you think of the euro tab 3 ?

[@welderpainter]

Привет ты на всех марках и двигателях рекомендуешь вливать жидкость на заведенном двигателе?

[@niallbrady187]

Jimmy, a quick question buddy I'm a mechanic myself and have sorted out a lot of cars like yourself coming back from garages only half done , that's my moan over 🤣 now to the question !! I want your advice on a VW crafter lwb or a Mercedes sprinter lwb I want to convert into a campervan I'm looking around 2019 year. Your videos are fantastic 👍👏👏 Niall

[@Spreadyready]

Hi where u based ?

[@jaroslawmoscicki6664]

I'm still waiting for the BMW x1 😆

[@blowduke]

Once driven back from Oxford to Swindon with a cat in the back had to go back to drop the thing off 😢

[@davyarthurs]

Instead of ‘Air On a G string’ it’s drill on a g string 😂

[@fucxkxows5416]

Nice to see you back Jimmy 👍🏾

[@bootybandy]

[@user-gd6nc4pr6o]
