the longer the videos the better, keep up the good work mate

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Thnaks for the feed back buddy and thanks for the comment 👍

[@ashboy225]

Bloody Fantastic! Love the long videos buddy, Keep up the hard work. 25 minutes to 40 minutes is the sweet spot for me! Thing is, if the video is long people can watch a bit, then watch a bit more another evening. So interesting watching you find and fix the faults

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Hi Ash, Thanks for the comment and the feedback! I've always kept them short as I find people skip a lot of the videos, but this might be because my other content has been more of a story about the fault, but it would seem everyone who has commented wants longer videos 😂 so it looks like we're going to 25 minuites now in future ha ha ha To be honest, mate I've no idea how to fix trucks, and Jaltest does all the work most of the time 🤔😅

[@trevormansfield6495]

The longer the better. Excellent content 👍

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Cheers Trevor 👋 thanks for the feed back and for the comment buddy 👍

[@rscelectrical7091]

For me, the longer your fault finding videos the better. I always find them enjoyable.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Thanks for the comment. Hey Steve, thanks for the comment buddy. These sorts of videos I can do every day as it's very little editing and me talking to myself. The thing I need to figure out is how to make this searchable or appealing to people I suppose 🤔

[@edwardreyes6867]

Im a fan of longer videos. I feel like that 25-30 minutes is a good length for in depth detail while still holding the viewers attention!

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Cheers Edward 👍 I will see what I can do buddy 😎 and thanks for the feedback

[@garysweet9384]

Always informative and very watchable. Love your commentary and yes 25 minutes is great. Really shows how impossible it is to diagnose faults without the correct equipment. Keep the videos coming please.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Hey Garry thanks for the comment buddy. Glad you like the video, You couldn't do anything these days without one!

[@allyally5359]

Great video Sir👍👍.On first you need a new DPF,an adblue dosig module because is leaking bad and this problem is not from now,clean the differential pressure sensor tube and a new DPF sensor.On second you must put an repair kit on combustibil filter module and the small filter.On third down on chassy right on loop you will find the broken cable for SAC,i have 6 trucks already found with this problem.God bless you and your family my friend.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Thanks for the comment buddy 😎. It's had a new dpf and I have got a new pressure sensor here to go on....its just catching up with him to sort it now it's mobile 😂 I will have a look at this repair kit mate 👌 I will try and locate the broken wires before I go running in new ones but I'd like to get all the plastic cable joints first from TE. why someone took them off is beyond belief 🫣🤬

Good video man. I like this format of video, nice being a longer one too

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Cheers buddy 😎👍 . I've a few ideas to try for next week. A new camera is one of them so hopefully quality will be better too now.

[@jessecorcoran1332]

Good watching mate longer videos are better I believe 🍻

[@StephenCallow-j8w]

Find your videos great to watch and very informative. The depth you go to to source the fault i think is impressive, as did my boss when you diagnosed the fault on the CF i drive for him. Keep the videos coming, whatever length and keep up the good work.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Steve how are you buddy! I was only thinking the other day Did he get sorted afterwards with that truck, I keep a lift pump and a repair kit on the van now so I don't have to leave customers needing parts like that in future. The consensus is people want 25-minute vlogs of me doing repairs so that should be easy enough to cope with going forward 👍

[@StephenCallow-j8w]

All good here thanks bud, a month with no p-p-dings!!! Bliss 😂. Many thanks 👍🏼👍🏼. Was a bit of a fiddle to change apparently but was his first one. After you saw the job , do you think it needs looking at again? no faults are showing. What with having a new BPV fitted and seeing if calibration is accurate. Still feel it doesn’t pull as it should on hills, our Scanias will leave me. Also Gearbox updates? If possible maybe?

[@grotbagsification]

Running a wire is ok but from experience for every rubbed / corroded cable the cable next to it will go next so always best to seek out damaged area

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Oh most definitely buddy. Not my first choice on how to repair a fault, but as usual....I get called when the things going for test, they have spent 4 days trying to fix it or someone else has had a go and used an air tank as an earth and a side light feed as a power supply 🫣

[@benyapetri]

@@TRUCKTECHUK I am ok with that , no mater how long or short is the video you are doing a great job .

[@norb0254]

I nearly spilt my beer when you tried to remove the DPF clamp with your gun ,you knew it wasn't coming off lol....Video lengths are fine , With the SAC wiring you know like i do if 2 wires have already failed then over time there will be others ,it if the customer agrees either needs the actual area where the fault is located and fixed ,or a new piece of wiring fitted from the bulkhead to the sac unit.What i find is perfect for repairs is rubberised wiring as it flexes ,perfect for the likes of LF brake pad warning loom ...You will have fun with the NGD the fuel air shut off valve is now way down at the sump ,and on the engine ECU they have fitted the same style of plug as found on AS lite lol ..I love it when you deal with what the driver defects then when everything is ok ,you get the most important snippet of info ,,ie the warning light that comes on intermittantly ,though you did spot the fault earlier...I have never knownanyone change the DPF on a Euro 6 ..I think it was over specced initally ,

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

How are you buddy! Ohhhh it's not like 'the dealer days' where it's done behind closed doors and it all comes to bits with a grinder and the customer picks up the bill for an 80-quid clamp. I've the customers watching me now and what sort of person would I be if I didn't at least try? Some of the customers I deal with would have welded a bolt-on that 😂 The video time is subjective to me as how do I even categorise these jobs that people would find useful? Take the SAC wiring....its now lost in some 3 video vlogs. my original content would have had a beginning a middle and an end. I don't know 😕 🤷 suppose things need to change but will it be for the better? I will have a look for some rubberised wiring, I was going to go with twin-core in a split conduit coil at about 10 meters.. I'd like to find them open circuits really! God knows what will happen if more go 🫣 I've had to do a few PCI-2 diagnostics, I'm looking at doing the XB and XD introduction courses when I can get on them as an independent as all I've got is the technical information currently. NGD will be out of warranty soon so I should be able to start including the videos here As for the DPF situation, it's annoyed me all weekend as I've seen the specification differences between EAS-3 and EAS-4! Can I find the info now? Can I hell!!!!! From what I remember euro-6 was a 16ltr system with a reserve capacity of so many ltrs and my-17 EAS-4 was reduced to 11 ltr capacity with no reserve 🤷 I just didn't include it if I couldn't quote it lol

[@RihardsDel]

Very nice video and super informative. Great job.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Cheers for the comment 👍 I'm glad you liked it 😎

[@RihardsDel]

@@TRUCKTECHUK one thing from these videos becomes very clear. Stay away from euro 6 DAFs 🤣. I wonder if MAN and Renault T range have similar issues

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Ha ha ha you think Euro 6 DAF is bad.....the NEXT GENERATION DAF is worse 😅😅😅😅😅😅. I used to work on MAN as an apprentice after we couldn't buy Foden or ERF, we put oil pumps in them at 600k 🫣 not done much with Renault but I know you can't fit a chassis module without changing and programming a bunch of other ecus these days if the numbers have superseded 🤔

[@abhaygulati6514]

Keep up the good work mate love your videos they help me out so much when i'm stuck in the shit longer vids are decent but i think the single fault short vids are better as when you need help with that specific fault you don't have to skip through the rest of the vid

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

HI thanks for the comment, im glad the videos help you out and im with you in the short single faults help videos but it would seem everyones for the longer vlog format. maybe i could do the thumbnails with what i'm fixing to help people identify whats in the video? i will have a think

2:56 "Oh dear" yes indeed.... Please wear mouth and nose protection when using the steam cleaner to loosen those crystals, that stuff is cancer inducing! You can also wonder how much of that stuff has ended further downstream in the system, in front of the SCR.... Very interesting video as usual, can't fault your work, keep it up!

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

It's always me who gets the "problem" DPF'S 😂😂😂😂 I SHOULD WEAR SOME protective equipment. If only they outlined these health issues when learning about them! I'm hoping the SCR CATs are okay, it's a further investigation some day.

Привет! Спасибо за видео! Как всегда молодец! Так держать, 25 минут очень хорошо 👍! У нас Euro 4,5,6 отключают (программой или эмулятором), полиция не проверяет. DPF вырезают, чтобы не мешал дышать мотору. Почему занимаешься ремонтом на выезд? Я арендую гараж 20х12 метров под две фуры, весь инструмент в машину на выездной ремонт не поместится.

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Hi! Another vote for longer videos 😅. We can't do that here unfortunately, I'd be in jail by now ha ha ha. So the best thing to do is fix the system. We do on-site repairs as its helpful for the customer, they don't need to bring it to a workshop and it's usually cheaper than DAF. As you know I only do diagnostics so I don't do repairs like springs and oil changes, so don't really need that much stuff 😂

As always, everything is at a high professional level. I still didn't understand what was the problem with the second car?

[@TRUCKTECHUK]

Hi, thanks for the comment. It had logged an after-treatment fault for regeneration not able to be performed on the fuel shut-off valve, when I tested the component circuit....it was fine and when I tested its function I.e performed a regeneration, it functioned correctly which was odd. The driver then told me he had a red engine warning on the dash and I noticed poor starting which then I identified as an excessive fuel leak off from the high-pressure system. This will be investigated in a later video I think 🤔 The main thing was I'd removed the fault on the dash and made plans to address the other concern with the customer later in the month
