Nissan NV300 13 Dealership Repairs But Fault Returns Same Day 253F29 Oil Dilution 200291 DPF 200292

[@coffeeguy6673]

I'm just gobsmacked that even main dealers don't seem to know what they are doing with their own products !! Hats off to Jimmy the DPF King !!

[@fanfeck2844]

Most dealers just service cars. Most people go to independents when the car gets older and has faults

[@ShiftingSkys]

@@fanfeck2844Some Dealers, At least in the Heavy Duty world Dealers are the Last Line of Defence. The amount of Training is Required and "typically" a good dealer will have a few diagnostic technicians to prevent Situations like this. But yes, Some literally just know how to put an alternater on, Service the Systems and maybe Put an engine in if your lucky.

[@mountainauer]

no matter which business you are in: 90% of the craftsman have no passion for their job and just exchange components. Also the industry is forcing you to work like this, so they make more profit. Greedy bastards. And all the digitalisation and computers have made it even worse. Even in my business we have software issues which make no sense. And head-office or responisble departments just dont care !! I have a customer who bought a software update for their machine and it cost him 35k Euros. I implied the software and tested it and it was wrong (simple fault which takes the software engineer ten minutes to fix)..... now one year later i still dont get a fixed version for this bug, and the company gives a fuck about customers. The department constantly claims: its all okay. They just want you to buy new stuff and new components and whatsoever.... greeedy bastards.

[@michelLevisse]

It's incredible the incompetence of certain car repair shops who change a lot of parts except the one needed. Lack of skills, training? In any case, when a component has been changed and the problem returns, you must investigate carefully and be very professional, otherwise things will not progress. I've been watching your videos for some time now and they are very informative. Thank you for sharing all the work you do.

Great video.. i work for a few places doing diagnostic work . And they really should have their own mechanics trained better than what they are . The problem is fitters and mechanics are completely different people and most dealers have fitters , great for servicing and changing parts but no good for lets say stripping a gearbox and repairing it . DPFs are a pain in the arse unless you know what your doing... same with adblue faults and the garage will say 2 grand to get rid of you or cover themselves but most of the time your better of having a remap as the adblue tanks could be the same price you could sell the car for. Diagnosed a peugeot not so long ago been to 3 garages dpf kept getting blocked had about 400 spent on it ... turned out to be thermostat housing needed to be replaced took 20 min drive in it to see it wasn't reaching temperature so it wouldn't regenerate. when i trained as a mechanic i was taught if the car won't start.. check if there is any fuel in the tank 🤣

[@ast6537]

The thing is nobody is coming into the trade nowadays....and most main dealers just have fitters working for them...nobody has the time to learn on the job it's just fit that fit this....main stealers are the worst places to take your car!! And you would think that feck it I'll take it to the dealers..they'll be able to sort it lol 😅😅 but noooo! 90% of problems with cars nowadays is emissions related... wether it's dpf or adblue or eloys...😢

[@shane775]

Your so right .. the thing i found is most of the places aren't even looking at your qualifications and experience and anyone coming from anywhere can they are a mechanic and people just start them and see how it goes.. Its beyond belief ..

[@Ben-in6qh]

All those forced regens done melted it

[@JustMe-Dude]

this would be the perfect example of the borescope video probe showing damage to the DPF's honeycomb.

[@ShiftingSkys]

As a Diesel Mechanic Dealing with this stuff Daily Im not Sure why The dealers were that incompetent. Mind Boggling. Knowing the Pressures and Temperatures the DPF Operates on a Product you work on daily should be Extremely Basic Knowledge.

[@ukrobochips8817]

Seems they are reluctant to acknowledge the elephant in the room.

[@tomas19cronin]

@shiftingskys I work for a dealership and it’s mind boggling why the younger techs don’t just ask seniors for help or advice we all work for the same badge.

[@ShiftingSkys]

@@tomas19cronin Pride Most Likely, That plus The Commision Situation in most dealerships does not incentivise techs to share the juicy information with anyone but friends.Alot of the good technicians do alot of Through Diagnostics, Observations and Schooling and Do not want to share the information. Thats my Opinion.

I have a 191 Nissan Nv300. Bought new from Navan Nissan. After about 3 months lights Came on for Dpf. They took it in and did a regeneration which lasted about 2 weeks. Back in again another regeneration..told they put new codes in and that should be end of trouble.. after about a year of going in and out they decided to replace the dpf which they did.They told me I'd have no more trouble... A few weeks after I could smell smoke in the cab.. I took it into Nissan again.I said the engine is going it's burning oil I was putting over 5 litres of oil a week. They didn't believe me. Eventually I said I'll bring it in and ye can dip it and see how much it's using. THEY had to replace engine at on 78000Km. After about a week engine mgt lights on.. They did dpf regeneration and again I'd say once a week for almost 8 months. I rang Nissan Ireland and was told that it was my style of driving that was causing my problems. And that Nissan would continue to support me.. I said great put me down for two engines and a couple of DPFS. I can now confirm that the engine that was replaced in June of 2021 has now blown up. Please stay away from any Nissan Nv300 guys. .nothing but a pile of scrap.. I've spent more time under it than I was in it..

Car garages are getting worse! Well done mate really enjoy watching your videos! I own a vauxhall vivaro 2016 worse choice of me life had it 7, had a head ake ever since i drove off the forecourt from new they are shite

[@johnfountain8143]

sure some will have said this but oil dilution code will always set after static regen on this platform

[@ukrobochips8817]

So, the dealers are reluctant to change the dpf under warranty due to cost? Ford have been the same with my transit courier. Surely their mechanics can read the dpf pressure? The constant failed regens cause oil level to rise with diesel, hence having to change oil every other week. Exactly the same symptoms on mine. After over a year of dealership visits and arguments in the office, they call in an independent who advises the dpf be changed (might even have been you!). Now waiting for over month as apparently transit courier 19 plate dpf is back order item. They even had the cheek to tell me it was my fault for not doing long enough journeys - isn't that defective design instead? Cheers

[@TheTwelly]

Nissan dealer 'mechanic' just throw a parts cannon at the vehicle, and hope for the best outcome. Clearly lousy training, if any given. Bloody good job it's under warranty. As always, Jimmy great video and knowledge. 👍

[@granddadmark7639]

13 oil changes in 12 months, lots of new parts and it's still broken wow the main dealer needs to train up their mechanics 😢

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

12 months running with diesel in the sump. Feel sorry for the next owner

[@paulnolan1352]

The main dealer needs prosecuting I think.

[@chrisgreenwood271]

main dealer = parts cannon what a joke.

[@tonyshaw4570]

how many miles has it done

[@silverfox57]

Are some of these DPF problems down to the diesel being watered down with bio fuel???? Using Shell I have had no DPF problems.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

All diesel will have bio added. I think currently bio(FAME) is dearer than petroleum diesel. Also bio is as clean if not cleaner than petroleum diesel

[@silverfox57]

@@Phantom-mk4kp if thats true then why does supermarket diesel knack DPFs. Sorry but I dont agree that it is cleaner than straight diesel.

[@Phantom-mk4kp]

@@silverfox57 Where is your evidence that SM fuel kills filters. All fuel has to comply to a standard, that is independently tested for each blended batch. Super blends from the likes of Shell have have additives that they claim have benefits.. But their standard stuff will be the same. When I worked in the industry Sainsbury's fuel was BP. We supplied about 20% of UK fuel to supermarkets, railways, MOD and the major hauliers. On occasion the brand name tankers would fill up from our storage tanks. We also 'co-tangod'(shared) our stock with other companies in one storage tank, drawing off our proportion of what we had contributed. All feed stock for all companies comes from the same sources.

[@hughmarcus1]

@@silverfox57that’s a myth. Most of the fuel is held in large holding tanks & delivered to the forecourts irrespective of brand. The additives are added to the premium fuels before delivery, apart from that most diesel is the same.

[@careyautorepairs]

Now Nissan get the chance to show customers and others they're loyal to the warranty and will fix the problem and also accept they made a mistake and let's hope it wasn't a change something cheap and hope the warranty runs out job. I don't think they did that, I think they just didn't know how to test the DPF like the main man ( YOU ) and just did the regeneration and messed it up and they didn't know they messed it up. You should go and talk the managers and offer your testing and cleaning service to save them thousands of pounds or hundreds of thousands over time in DPF's and parts they didn't have to use. It's clear the garages don't have a clue so step in and help them I would. Might even do to myself knowing how bad they are at DPF work.
