Maserati Levante 3.0 V6 P2463-00 Diesel Particulate Filter Soot Accumulation. DPF Cleaning

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

Had a v6 diesel jag in today , sure enough the throttle flap was sticking ,bunch if codes map air mass turbo pressure etc . Anyway the new unit was 500 quid 😮. Found out later that where the boost pipe joins the intercooler theres a sort of box/ chaimber that had split on the seam , as a result of this flap getting stuck probably. Should have smoked it also 😖....Doh! Kicking myself for that . But much thanks for the info. I knew where to look and what to look for ,thanks to you . I just need to engage the brain a bit more .👍

[@justinw6670]

Still a good find but yes,I smoke everything now👍👍

[@kevinbaird7277]

Nice to know that Maserati Dealers charging £200 an hour haven't got a clue, they fire the parts cannon until the owner sells the car.

[@steves7973]

Good job. I used to have a Citroen C4 diesel automatic and when it started to do a burn I would keep driving to let it complete the process. There was no indication on the dash, but the engine sound changed, the engine felt rough on idle. I kept it at a lower gear to keep the revs up to help the process finish, didn't take long. It's a pity there's no indicator light to let drivers know the DPF is going through a cleaning burn process. If you switch off before it completes, the whole process starts again, burns more fuel and lowers your mpg.

WELL done THAT MAN 👍👍👍👍

Top job Jimmy.

[@Nick-bp7jf]

Jimmy, you are a clever lad, i really enjoy your vids. That engine is a VM Motori unit. Same basic engine is in the Grand Cherokee. They like to eat crank bearings.

[@bobr9731]

I think maybe the dealers think regen works all the time. but once you get to a percentage % not sure what thst is? It cant break down the soot or doesn't run long enough to do so. Thats apart from other system failures sensors etc. Great video Jimmy. Dealers WTF

[@BillyBob-uc9zp]

Well done Mr 😎

[@frankbuick65]

Great job 👍🏻

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks 😁

[@davidmehlhorn726]

£800 quid for 3 oil changes??????? Bloody hell!. Costs me fifty quid to change my oil and filter myself. Perhaps I should set myself as a "Maserati oil change specialist"????? I'll be a millionaire this time next year Rodney!

[@tahustvedt]

Ambient temperature sensors might not even give a fault code. They might be partly working, sometimes giving bad readings because of corroded contacts. Water tends to run down the wires in the door from the mirror, or through the window seal, and get in the connector on some cars. Another dealer unable to figure out what the real problem is.

[@keegan4039]

I’d say they are doing a regeneration and then an oil change , do your magic jimmy

[@Parknest]

Jimmy, Maserati is now owned by Stellantis which owns several other brands including Alfa Romeo, Fiat and Ferrari.

[@markbowden7238]

FIAT bought out Abarth, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari (road cars) and Maserati, then merged with Chrysler to become FCA, then merged with Peugeot to become Stellantis. A conglomerate that will never produce a cheap simple small fast light 4 cylinder small capacity mid engine rear wheel drive easy to fix fun to drive car, because well you know why... it's all political.

[@fortnitefred1351]

Everything is orchestrated

[@bigjml]

The reason they won’t produce one is nobody would buy it in numbers large enough to make it profitable of affordable.

[@zubeystinzen540]

When politics governs how engines are built then Jimmy will be worked off his feet,nuff said

[@stephandolby]

Ferrari were spun off in 2016.

Hi Jimmy Where did you get that dpf cleaning gun nozzle from please?

nice sound for diesel

[@PaulMcCarthyYT]

Where is did you get the scanner? How much does it cost?

[@Shadow666790]

What Model of Diagnostic tool are you using here please? I went down a rabbit hole, as my Autel didnt have the function to regen a DPF on any maserati. Just Ordered a Launch X431 something or other, but i wonder if there is a difference for this function between the models?

Maserati diesel why ?

[@tam1381]

Bet the dealer cleared the codes.

[@thindo]

800 quid for an oil change.. Playing with the Big Boys.... Advice from Dealership.-we might need to do 2 or 3 oil changes.... Guess they saw an opportunity

[@MrZimmaframe]

2-3 oil changes for £800, not for 1.

Nice one Jimmy👍

Definitely fiat Jimmy the rev counter ìs same as mine on mito

[@neildean7515]

Great video jimmy, Given its likely this car has had many failed or forced regens, did you recommend the owner to have an oil & filter change.. i would also suggest they do it asap with an air filter too. It just makes sense to educate people about oil changes too, esp after dpf issues…

[@ORileysAutos]

It's just had an oil change before coming to me he said

[@neildean7515]

@@ORileysAutos ok, sorry, i either didnt listen or it sas not mentioned…💪

[@MrZimmaframe]

It could be that they would of done a few forced regeneration and changed the oil each time.

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes I don't know why I didn't think of that

[@guygfm4243]

Good job, why don’t the dealer do this as well. Just so poor on there side.

[@JimmyRS2.2]

I still don't understand why people buy diesel cars for central London.

[@keithwelton]

Maybe realising all London Taxis up till recently were diesel will help you understand why people buy diesel vehicles that live in large towns. Putting it simply they use far less fuel.

[@JimmyRS2.2]

@@keithwelton Surely that fuel economy is offset by the big repair bills that come early in the life of the vehicle.

[@fluxington]

@@JimmyRS2.2 Only with modern vehicles with DPF. I drove a VW Caddy for years with very little need for a mechanic.

[@keithwelton]

@@JimmyRS2.2 I’ve only had diesel cars since 1985 and the biggest bill over the last 38 years was a repair to the engine computer that cost me just over £300. 38 years and about 570,000 miles in a Peugeot 205/Citroen ZX/ Citroen Xsara Picasso/ Honda Civic.

[@tommykarate5126]

Because years before dpf egr cars went on the smell of diesel like vw and they also ran on red diesel which was some saving for van man😂

[@MarianA-vu8tb]

I think Maserati is a cheaper version of Ferrari, no joke, they have Ferrari engine, not sure what the deal is with diesel since Ferrari don't think they make diesel engines

[@kwinterburn]

FIAT Ferrari group so is FIAT engine
