Scarcastic for a good reason you have to believe me I sold my van in the end because nobody could fix it, It really got me down in the end. You are a breath of Fresh Air.Its amazing how many Mechanics can't fix Diesels . Well done Jimmy.

[@paulgrain19]

Too right why are people having to drive miles because mechanics after mechanics are failing to do there job

[@paulgrain19]

Winds you up when they break all the clips and think nothing of it great work again

[@davidmehlhorn726]

The previous "mechanic" didn't make sure sensor was clipped in properly? What an absolute muppet. Then he leaves a screwdriver lying in the engine bay? Spot on with the sarcasm Jimmy. Guys like that give all mechanics a bad name. We have our fair share of them here in Ireland, particularly in main dealers who appear to genuinely not give a damn, and all they do is swap in new parts when a proper diagnosis might have saved the customer money. I've had main dealers damage my car and then try to convince me that "it was like that when you brought it in". Well as I'm someone who washes his car every week, I know every mark, scratch, chip and dent on it. Which is why I look after my own car now. Keep up the great work Jimmy. You're single handedly redeeming the profession of car mechanic.

[@potluckfishing]

You're spot on about main dealer mechanics, they are terrible. I always recommend to friends to find 2 good independent mechanics, and use them both form time to time, always good to have a backup if one is unavailable.

[@davidmehlhorn726]

@@potluckfishing For years, I had trouble with a pulsing brake pedal that the main dealer said was due to the brake discs warping. I said to him that can’t be true as they never lasted more than 6 months before the pulsing came back. So I started to educate myself and found that the pins on the brake callipers were seized as they’d never been lubricated by the main dealer when servicing the brakes. So I cleaned the pins, applied some grease, changed the rubber gaiters and hey presto, never had brake pedal pulsing again. To think of all the money the main dealer charged me for replacing brake discs when some grease on the caliper pins fixed the issue. 🤬

Your correct about “ single handed” , left does all the work and the right holds the camera..👌

Your definitely not being sarcastic but being a man who knows his profession. Your at the top of your game mate 👍

Im not a mechanic but i would know to push the connector in until you hear a click.Another happy customer great work

[@StephenBrown-ti6mm]

Some of these guys are unbelievable straight in soft option forced regen probably never explained to the customer the damage it can do or implications of changing the oil and filter each time then throwing their hands up and shitting themselves when they were challenged technically they should be shelf stacking or burger flipping ( Not to insult shelf stackers and burger flippers you do a great job)😉

[@tonydaddario4706]

You should definitely get sponsored by Launch UK. ;) Good work, saving dpfs across the land. Would be nice if you could roughly indicate time spent fixing each vehicle considering they usually come to you after a number of other mechanics have had a go.

"Let's put an ECU on top of the engine bay, electronics love heat!" - planned obsolescence in action right here!

[@nigelcarter7740]

On my E350 cdi ECU is behind drivers side from wheel arch. When I had it remapped I was surprised how dry it was !

[@stiggyness1976]

It not top of the engine, it's on top of the air filter and ECU has the cooling fins facing downwards so the outside air that comes in via the air ducting that's at the front of the car help keep it cool.

[@khalidacosta7133]

@@stiggyness1976 You are right, it's not on top of the engine, it's on top of the airbox, that has a hole in it to fit the ECU... which is directly above the exhaust manifold. That is objectively worse. Much worse. What happens when the car isn't moving? Heat rises..... Those lovely fins just act like a big radiator, increasing surface area to absorb the heat.

[@nigelcarter7740]

My E350 had the ECU behind drivers side wheel arch, surprised how dry it was when it was removed for a Remap !

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

Before using your cleaning fluid do you need to have a hot / fully warmed up engine for it to be effective? The jlm stuff we use requires that I'm sure . Anyway I've got a dpf clean on a traffic tomorrow, I'll definitely be falling back on knowledge gained from watching you . Thanks for taking the time to do all this .

[@ORileysAutos]

I'd say warm but not hot as in regen temperatures as it could crack from sudden drop in temperature

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

Thanks for the reply 👍, my renault traffic was dropped off , 0 miles anti pollution, now a non start . Filled adblue .( was not empty) Our computers cant reset what ever that is so I'm stuck . Wonder if the launch could do it ?

Hopefully someone he works with recognise the car and sadly a SnapOn screwdriver shows all the gear no idea 😅

[@1954307]

true jimmy take your car to a garage and it comes out more broke than it went in, very few really good mechanics around, and a lot of these problems are caused by the apprentices

[@stevenkerry3101]

great work mate .

Great videos. Do you ever get nervous keeping the cars revving for fear of a timing belt breaking ? Keep up the good work. Cead mile failte 😊

[@mrtommyP80]

@jansontighe8430 I would people just bring anything to you, I bought a car that had not eloys fluid in it blocked dpf and broken injector, was a cheap car but was shitting my self reving it at first 😅

[@mrtommyP80]

Jimmy, the guys probably talking about why dose launch sell it as 1 time use for half the price, most folk only has 1 dpf to unblock, if they done a 500ml and a 1 litre bottle I can see why folk would buy the 500ml

[@ORileysAutos]

Most cars need a second dose anyway so if I bought one for my car I'd just use the whole bottle

[@mrtommyP80]

@ORileysAutos yes I used it all on mine to, thanks for the videos helped me fix my dpf.

[@garyparker5012]

My 2012 ford kuga 2.0 tdci had a DPF pressure sensor stuck on the same reading Replaced sensor now working ok and codes cleared but one new code appeared after road test p244c temp too low for regeneration it did get to 550 ish on both temp sensors Should I run a cleaner through the DPF or will it sort itself eventually ? Many thanks

[@ORileysAutos]

Either the vaporizer is partially blocked or the dpf is fractured

The pressure differential sensor on my 2008 W221 3.0L V6 has to be changed on average every 18 months without fail but unsure why.

[@nigelcarter7740]

Are you fitting a genuine Bosch sensor, or one of the many Fakes sold by the likes of EBay ? Take car for a rag once a week, also look into adding 2-EHN to tank of fuel, I’ve done this all the time I’ve owned my E350 convertible, 7k oil changes remapped and runs like a dream, oh and it doesn’t hang about 😬

[@dfluke3698]

A diesel Mercedes ? !!!!!! Not with a barge pole !!!

[@pederb82]

I dont know, maybe I am old school. But when I work on a customers product in electronics, and I break something by mistake, then I fix it. If I loose a part i replace it. What are these mechanichs thinking when they break clips and loose a clip and think they can just put it back together and ship it? That's just WRONG in my eyes.

[@khalidacosta7133]

Had similar as a customer. If the mech even told me, I could have replaced the clip for a few pounds, nah, hide it, then have me wait at side of road for breakdown!

[@thindo]

I have to second your Rant you really should change your career if you want to be a mechanic and can't fit a connector plug properly.... I had harsher words but those will do

[@martinjackson565]

They are known for giving dpf problems

[@yoyomismo2052]

Dpf fault is 80% user fault, 20% mechanical fault. Don't read manual of car, don't not knowing what the light means (adblue / dpf). I know people who get stuck in their new car because they don't know that the blue light is blinking (it's filling) until it has a solid blue (it won't start). in the case of vans, they never regenerate if they have to stop and they have a parking lot or are working, who cares? until he has problems (not to mention that in the City it is the worst place to do it)

[@nigelcarter7740]

Diesel owners, and many cab drivers do not take the vehicle out once a week for an Italian Tune up. Both my diesels cars get ragged where possible. I also add 2-EHN to every Tank 😉😬

[@MarianA-vu8tb]

I see u didn't check the glow plugs to see if they work, they're usually the main culprit for failed DPF regen, in this case sure data plug was not all way in etc so more reason for regen to fail but sometimes problem could arise from more than one thing not working right, would Mercedes give out fault codes for defective glow plugs? I know some brands don't give out codes for broken glow plugs, I had KIA Optima, I only knew glow plugs were defective after removing and testing them with a meter, no code in dash or from the scanner and only 1 glow plug was still working from a total of 4. All in all smashing job u did as usual, people not seeing stuff ... common sense is not that common any more.
