Renault Trafic Breaks Immediately After Fixing A Separate Fault

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Going through a flood, with air inlet so low, he's lucky he didn't hydrolock the engine. Great job, Jimmy, going the extra mile to replace also the crankshaft pulley that customer didn't know of.

[@1973miniclubman]

Love this guys channel. He knows his stuff

[@Gneeznow]

This video gave me PTSD over the last renault I owned, check injection system, engine failure hazard, anti-pollution etc etc the thing was an endless money pit

[@MrZimmaframe]

What did you replace it with?

[@Gneeznow]

@@MrZimmaframe I got an old Peugeot 207 diesel that was made before DPFs were a thing, the missus went to petrol

[@chrishill1219]

Great content Jimmy, always learn something watching you.

[@miketherefurbisher8000]

Great video Jimmy! "As always" It really is madness to drive modern stuff through flood water (low intakes and modules etc) they just don't like it. ❤ this channel 👍

[@rambo196919]

Brilliant idea with the O ring, i'm nicking that idea!

[@Mark-l9l4x]

Good job you ought that pulley You wouldn’t want that to come off on the motorway brilliant video 😎😎

[@ORileysAutos]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bikerrf900]

Marvellous as always Jimmy. Great work.

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks again!

[@tomsurrey2252]

Another amazing FIX, by Jimmy!!

[@MarianA-vu8tb]

Napoleon must've fitted that air intake, he couldn't reach too high I guess 😂😂😂

[@robertmobileman8304]

awesome Jimmy

[@TheGrobbo1956]

Nice one Jimmy

[@renatairmarius123]

BGA its rubbish . Thanks for video.

[@G-ra-ha-m]

It's still better than the old one :D

[@jaseduar]

Great video 👍

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks 👍

[@sylwiom12]

Good job

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks

[@Diederik240]

As always thanks for the nice content video! Would moving the upstream pressure sensor pipe connection to the same position where the dpf differential pressure sensor (before) is connected (with a Y-connection) solve the pipe clogging problem?

[@paulmanners1364]

2016 trafic 1 6 dual scrool turbo did a preventative replacement of the main pulley as it was starting to knock Now much better

[@zodiatti1825]

Jimmy Most probably the van has a chiptunning what killed the vibration damper pulley, It is a usual symtphom. Hard to imagine a normal van with such a young age and low milage has this kind of damage... not surprised if dpf and other stuff are also failing... lack of luck of chip tunning :)

[@86andyw]

Probably the oil leak has deteriorated th rubber in the crank pulley.

[@markfarrier1711]

We have this van 2017 1.6 125 bought with 116k now 137k been great so far ....

[@andypugh2000]

It's in the post...

[@robertgoodall4525]

Very happy with mine too

[@pauloutten3628]

Hi I've been following your channel for quite some time now. And very impressed with your work. I have a 2010 Ford Galaxy titanium the 1.6tdci version. And been having DPF issues on and off since we owned it. In the 4 years I've owned it I've used the expensive dpf cleaners you spread directly into the dpf several times. Also completely removed the dpf and cleaned it. I noticed recently again not doing its own regeneration. Tried a forced regen using the fscan programme but it failed. I then sprayed the JLM dpf cleaner into the dpf. But the thing with the fscan programme there is no way to show the dpf load, soot 1:36 level etc. I know you use the Launch X431 tab 3 diagnostic tool but is there anything a bit affordable for the DIYer mechanic that does similar jobs. Unfortunately I haven't got a spare £6000 hanging around. Any recommendations or tips would be very appreciated.

The diamond 💎 of doom... 😊

[@danviridian]

Hey mate do you ever replace turbo seals on Fiat Ducatos etc? Or would that need a ramp/lift?

[@leethacker-d5q]

Hi Jimmy have you done much work on the newer 2 ltr traffic ??

[@careyautorepairs]

Going to use the O ring trick ha ha.

[@simonbailey2151]

Jimmy, do you keep all these spares on the van, or do you work on these vans round the corner from a motor factors or something??

[@SPEEDY-FABSHACK]

I’ve never seen a crank damper fail so badly!!

[@dirkdiggler779]

Emailed you guys ref timing chain replacement on a vivaro is that something you do chaps. 😊

[@DaveGreeneramblingcarpenter]

That's a terrible low place for air intake

[@danielseibert4082]

No the intake sits higher. The tube does not reach down so far. Intake is about 50cm above the ground. right under the right headlights

[@chucky2316]

Hopeless these car designers. You should see where they put oil filters now

[@DarkReaper-or9el]

You know the renault clios how do you sort the water out that leaks into the passenger footwell

[@philipscott1128]

Make sure the drains are not blocked underneath the plastic scutttle panel, beneath the front wipers.

[@thindo]

Yep same place on Dacia sandero/logan mcv... Had the same issue... Cleared the blockage and hasn't had the issue for the past 3 years

[@bigstones5710]

Jim I’m buying an insignia 1.6 new model are they scrap ?

[@ORileysAutos]

Even scrap yards don't want them

[@86andyw]

The oil leak is what’s killed that crank pulley.

[@apbosh1]

Had my 07 octavia 2.0tdi in for a service today. They said the sump plug stripped the threads as they took it out. It's 80 pounds to fit a heli coil they get a guy to come in and do them. They don't do themselves. Does any of that sound normal to a mechanic.? They are a full on garage mot testing etc

[@chucky2316]

That is more of a engineering job. It depends on the mechanics I guess alot of them are really just fitters these days. They sound like cowboys if they stripped youre sump plug

[@chrisnewell-7758]

You can buy oversized tap and sump plug kits. I had the garage do it as I'd used thread lock and silicone sealer to keep the oil in to be able to use the vehicle, £70

[@apbosh1]

@@chucky2316 yeh I'm not convinced the thread got stripped on removal of the plug. It's not extortionate but the time delay is a problem

[@apbosh1]

@@chrisnewell-7758 if he phoned me and said there's a problem couldnt avoid it's 70 quid to fix and I can do it now, I'd be okay but he was saying it might take 2 days for the guy to turn up the usual guy is on holiday. 3 to 5 days without a car for a service!

[@thindo]

It's a good job I do all my car servicing myself and I don't torque more than 30Nm on the Sump plug... Some garages use impact wrench 🙅🙅

[@RalfyCustoms]

Gotta love a french van 😂

[@BillWashington-tr4iu]

Got a65 plate vivaro pully broke up on mine £180.😡

[@easylife6718]

Glad I drive a 04sprinter

[@jamiemurphy3404]

That van is the biggest pile of shit I’ve seen you fix well done

[@robertgoodall4525]

Way better than the current model Transit

Bad luck for him but it could have been worse it could have gone apart when he was driving home and been stuck at the side of the road.
