Never ceases to amaze me that DPFs have been around almost 20 years in diesel cars as far as I know and garages still have problems fixing issues. I've also watched no end of guys with fancy scan tools that don't fully understand them. Doesn't bode well for the customer unless of course they come to you.. 👌🏻

[@chrisslater5023]

Hi Jimmy, I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for your content. My dad Brian passed away today and he was an avid watcher and was always singing your prises as 'the dpf guy'. he pointed me in your direction as we've been having issues with our VW tiguan so I'll be sure to follow along going forward - already learnt so much, keep it up and thanks so much for the efforts x.

[@jihankibria]

Good job Jimmy. The car driving like new since you fix the problem. The acceleration has been improved so does the sounds. Thank you so so much.

[@KipKippax]

Having watched your videos for a long time now , if I was younger I'd happily feel confident starting up doing a few DPF fixes . Your doing a great job educating people out there ...Thank You ...

[@thindo]

You can take the horse to water but you can't make it drink..... You are doing your part Jimmy in giving free well articulated information and advice just a pity those in the business have better things to do than to listen or follow the advice

[@ashercohen4739]

In today's era, these are common problems and it takes a lot of knowledge to solve them. Well done to you and thank you for sharing.

[@Mac_F87]

You’ve had a year that would break most of us who watch your videos Jimmy. Yet you still take the time to make and upload videos the help educate anyone who watches. When I started watching your channel I didn’t even have a diesel vehicle but knew the information you were giving out invaluable. You’ve increased my knowledge of Euro 5/6 systems to a level where I feel confident working on them. I’ve since bought a Range Rover Sport SDV8 that is Euro 5 and know what to look out for now and feel I could tackle most problems within reason. Also had a neighbour ask if I could look at their Nissan Quashqui since I’m always tinkering on our cars. He was getting a fault so I scanned it and was getting a code for DPF differential sensor. Used my mitivac to check the line from the DPF to the sensor and of course it was blocked. Used your wire and drill trick and bobs your uncle it was all good again!

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Another excellent video and repair, Jimmy! So awkward that most garages don't take the time to learn more about DPF issues - would avoid repetitive costs and potential damage to the DPF.

Spot on Jimmy. It’s a shame the catchphrase ‘jim’ll fix it’ was already coined, (we won’t get into that). However, as always, all praise to the DPF god.

[@EmmtKidd]

Top work Jimmy you fix them on ground in the rain . what's mental is alot of garages have state of the art ramps , lifts and giant snap on tool chests but it's all wasted .running a mile from a glow plug in case it breaks 😂

[@neildean7515]

top job. I bought 4 glow plugs, luckily i tested them before fitting and one was faulty !!! Garages could easily fit faulty parts, in this case, Glow plugs are essential to resolve under - Lining issue

[@davidpayne3938]

Another good job done by Jimmy, he's like a magician that makes a trick look easy.👌 My favorite was Tommy Cooper when I was a young lad who had us in the palm of his hand with laughter..😂

[@maxkendal5152]

Five mechanics (including the RAC) looked at the car, five mechanics saw a dead glow plug yet not one of them thought "sell new glow plugs"? Is the world upside down now?

[@danthecarman8440]

I'm a mechanic and I can tell you we hate removing glow plugs because if they snap that's it Engine out job.

[@hughmarcus1]

@@danthecarman8440round here there’s a guy who specialises in them. A lot of garages just book the vehicle in & ring him to come & do it. He has all the kit to drill them out if one snaps.

[@kendom33]

Great Video Jimmy. I mean not changing the glow plug . WTF ??

[@williamchisholm5776]

Another great informative video mate please keep them coming

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks, will do!

you helped me out a lot with euro 5/6 vehicles thank you very much for sharing info.

Glad I could help

117k Miles.. i would say this owner is a responsible person who knows regular maintenance is essential for upkeep of the vehicle & knows that cars “looked after well” will last.. a fine example

[@PMCAUTOS]

What did you use to clean the Adblue Cristal with ? Also did you just clean out the Adblue filter with DPF cleaner ? Do you just Rev the engine till the DPF cleaner clears / flows through the exhaust ?

[@paulnolan1352]

Cheers Jimmy, I would like to know why thousands of Diesel Vehicles are going through Garages and these basic faults are being undiagnosed, theirs more than enough information out there now on DPF related faults.

[@mastercreative1]

Does DPF regens fail if the glow plugs are faulty ? thought glow plugs are only used on startup ? ive just changed mine on an astra j 2014 2.0 diesel ? reason i ask is that every now again, i get a burning of oil.. not alot but good couple of table spoons

[@hadiamrane]

Jimmy said in the past that he has seen vans do a regen without the glow plugs being replaced but on cars it always has to be replaced otherwise, no regen.

[@-DC-]

Common for Glow Plugs to be used in DPF regen

[@BillSikes.]

​@@-DC- They warm the cylinders up, how is this related to an exhaust pipe component

[@ORileysAutos]

Diesel fuel is sprayed into cylinder on exhaust stroke to then exit into the DPF & it needs glow plug working to heat the fuel

[@niallbrady187]

Brilliant Jimmy fantastic job ☘️☘️

[@simonboyes81]

Can't believe a garage gets a fault showing no 4 glowplug & didn't even check it, it's not rocket science

[@kevinpalmer7452]

You did well to replace those glow plugs Bud last time I did a set of those I disconnected the engine mounting to move the engine back a bit 🤏 you got my respect ✊

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks for sharing

[@davidbest1]

Just take the front grille off, four plastic riv/screws and a couple of clips, you can see straight through to the plugs after that

[@kevinpalmer7452]

@@davidbest1 thanks I will check that out 👍

[@andrewbaines8760]

Where the glow plugs are, that will be the reason why it was ignored

[@EndstyleGG]

I wonder if the glow plug fault prevents the regeneration? I have my doubts, but then again, I would never suspect a mirror to be responsible for a blocked DPF so you never know haha

[@hughmarcus1]

It often does as the glow plugs can be used to create heat.

[@felixalbion]

Often no point in replacing parts until you fix the cause of the failure. Basic mechanics.

[@Matt-pc5nb]

Did you manage to get the other diag tool to access dpf data?

[@slacko1971]

It looked like three glow plugs had already been changed but no4 that was open circuit wasn't. Very strange.

[@sylwiom12]

Good job

[@The-Brat-Here.]

Top man 👍👏👏👏

[@devito501]

Why would the glow plug stop you from doing the dpf clean . ? I’m learning so be good to know . Cheers

[@tam1381]

It inhibbits the regen process until the ECU sees all the flow plugs working. They are used to carry out a regeneration.

[@hughmarcus1]

Glow plugs create heat.

I can't understand why so called mechanics don't get this emission stuff. It not as if it's new.

They only needed to plug in the tool and replace the injector - to fix the actual cause, they didn't even do that!!

[@slacko1971]

[@Mac_F87]

It’s not new but I guess the issue is a lot of guys don’t get the time on the job to learn. Especially in main dealers, they are basically fitters these days. Diagnosing emissions systems and cleaning a DPF aren’t top priority unfortunately. Of course guys can learn off their own back but if there is no incentive to do so, why would they?

[@G-ra-ha-m]

@@slacko1971 Sorry, yes I meant the glowplug LOL :)

[@G-ra-ha-m]

@@Mac_F87 The garages who had it before could have charged for fitting 4 new glowplugs in there simply by reading a cheap scantool diagnosis - I have no explanation!

[@lszek2186]

Always get the garage to write a statement that the specified problem is fixed before you pay. If the problem is returned you are entitled for a refund or a fix this time for free. If they refuse to pay back you can call the police and file a report on the spot. And yes it is a police matter when someone ripped you off...

[@johnburrows8281]

Too easy for garages/mechanics to write fancy reports and charge 99 quid to tell you what you already know. So, this has cost this driver 400 quid plus to be told it has the same fault over and over. Beggars belief
