Lot of people hate German cars in Australia. and main reason is those wonky mechanics who have not even half of knowledge and will cause more damage than fixing anything. We need more people like Jimmy ❤

Cheers jimmy, it’s becoming a familiar tale with Garages. Until the customers wake up it will continue.

Where are these garages finding customers who are so willing to part with that kind of money for an old car?!! I've been doing full engine rebuilds for people on cars/vans that in some cases are only just out of warranty, but even then most people don't want to actually pay a lot for the serious amount of effort and man hours that go into such a job! 😮

@@lukedrobinson9156 Nah, I make good money doing them. Even ended up owning a few really nice motors buying from people who don't want to spend out repairing them😉. It just blows me away how much some people are willing to spend on an old car like that, I mean at what point do you just call it quits and cut your losses. Some garages are just taking the absolute p! Ss with their customers.

I dont know if im lucky but my bmw x5 40d has never had a dpf issue in its life and i got it on 50k miles and its now on 105k. I just service it twice a year on my driveway and use premium fuel. Oh and i drive it very hard most times..600nm of torque and over 300bhp is adictive

The amount of places that cant do just a visual inspection is beyond me, i had a customer recently that had the parts cannon fired at it circa £1000 and 2 months off the road, turns out it was a £20 boost pipe that was clearly faulty when under that car

what is the benefit of doing an EGR delete on these cars? slightly better fuel economy? no gunk buildup in the intake? mine is still fully working but I'm considering deleting it and the adblue system because i saw videos that the EGR cooler gets clogged up with crystalised adblue over time leading to EGR failure

Bad file solution, if you make sure the egr and adblue is removed properly the dpf will still have a burn up and clean itself.
