This is the first video of your that I’ve watched, I’m impressed. You are working in a parking lot, on ramps and in the rain. Undeterred, you calmly fix this vehicle as if it’s normal business. My hats off to you sir because around me here in the States I don’t know of any mechanic that would do this. I don’t think you charge enough for your service.

[@secretsquirrel9722]

When my brother had this on his mondeo. Ford quoted an air flow meter and dpf as the cause = $9000aud = muppets. I got involved. The dpf was blocked technically. But the back of the car was covered in soot. So i removed the dpf and flushed it. 5% flow to 98%. Then checked over. Car was over fueling and oil leaking from the front bar. Last I checked, there wasn't anything holding oil in the bumper = boost hose was torn =airflow meter fault and oil leak! Then after a week of driving. Dpf was struggling again with regen unable = blocked fuel vapouriser as you have. If we followed ford. We would have been $9000 in the hole before the intercooler hose and vapouriser would have even been investigated, let alone, found. BTW, i removed the glow plug and cleaned the vapouriser in a zip lock bag filled with intake cleaner. Put into an ultrasonic bath = spotless and running strong another 100k km later.

I’m not for one second implying I’m a great mechanic but this is basic stuff isn’t it. It’s the same around where I am. All they want to do is get it out of the door quickly and get on with discs and pads. No one is prepared to diagnose anything. It’s the reason that we all have a bad name. Extremely frustrating

I’m 6 months into a limp mode / blocked DPF problem on a 2013 Ford Transit and over £2k with two different garages, new glow plugs, new DPF and still in limp mode. Vapouriser being fitted today so will be £2500 spent, I’ve spent the whole value of the van and no faith it’ll solve it. Thousands of people will be getting ripped off with DPF issues who cannot afford these bills.

[@opelmantamechanic8438]

I've had the little pumps for the vaporiser fail before . Theres an activation for it so you can check it's doing something . The new pump from ford is hundreds, it's the same £5 pump that's inside my chinese diesel heater fyi . Great job again , I can't believe you can do all that without swearing.

And this is why I do my own maintenance as garages either don't know how to fix the cars they sell or don't give a damn, or more likely, want to rip off unsuspecting punters by unnecessarily putting in new parts. My mother thought she heard a scraping noise from a wheel and brought her car to a local garage last year when I had covid and couldn't help. They told her the noise from her rear wheel was a bearing. I told her to leave it until I was better so I could have a look at it. So I did and was it the bearing???? No it was the dust shield at the back of the brake caliper that was rubbing on the disc. I pushed it back into shape and hey presto, noise gone. Saved her the 300 quid they wanted for a new bearing fitted......which in itself was a monumental rip off.

[@adrianvanheems8041]

My boss, an undertaker, had a Vauxhall Vivaro with the same issue. It came back after an MOT and would not go over 30 mph. It had done 79000 miles, and only ever lightly loaded. The garage said it would cost £1300 to fix, so he got rid of it and bought a Mercedes van instead. Modern diesels, with so many of these gadgets fitted, are a damn nuisance.

[@georgecroney6168]

Merc are bo better, they just delete it out when It goes wrong

Well done I cured my BMW 330d's DPF around ten years ago. Had dealer software on my laptop and just put wynns diesel gold treatment in the tank and went on a 2hr motorway drive. Watched the back pressure drop from around 140 mbar to about 15 and it let me reset the active regen sequence. Job done.

[@Ashworth-Media]

It seems to be the reason for most breakdowns these days with people having problems with the Particulate Filter system and it's sensors. I few years ago looking around for a family car I bumped into an old school friend at a car sales place, he now has his own garage and was looking for a small car for his wife, he told me that there was a ford C-Max at the back that had been sold a few times but returned, he told me it should be £4,000 but they will take £1,000 sold as seen. What wrong with it was that it had a block EGR (exhaust gas recycling) valve, I asked my friend how easy was it to repair, the official way is about at £1,000, the unofficial is £10. So I paid the garage £1,000 and my friend and I fitted a thick blanking plate to the EGR valve and he turned the amber check engine light off and it ran perfectly and drove well for a car with only 55,000 miles on the clock, I put it through it's MOT and got told by the testing station that it's emissions levels where lower than standard. When it got to 125,000 miles, a neighbour offer me a £1,000 when I mentioned I was thinking of getting a newer car, so sold it him a few weeks later the turbo went on it so we when to the scrap yard and found an identical one off a very low mileage Mondeo and helped him to fit it, the C-Max is now up to 150,000, and still running well and passing it's MOT.

We had similar issues with our work transit a few years back. Finding someone like yourself who actually understands the system, is like finding a needle in a haystack. When speaking to some of the so called 'specialists' who my boss took it to, it seemed like I understood the system far better than they did.

Ye I agree my transit custom kept going back to garage because of dpf issue they just did a forced regen and send me on my way, turns out the forced regens were never completing only getting to 60% and stopping. So they got it mapped out as they didn't know what the problem was. Looking at your videos I think it could of been a vaporizer. If only I had found your videos sooner

Funny enough I watched a video a while back when a question was asked to a Mechanic 'should I get a diesel or petrol vehicle' his reply was 'low miles and short runs, petrol...high miles and long runs, diesel' This made sense to me. My 30 year Old camper is a diesel, no fancy electronics, DPF or EGR valve and in five years I've had no engine issues. I don't do High mileage 1200 miles per year on average and 95% of the time, no more than a 5 mile round trips; the other 5% could be hundreds of miles once or twice a year. I don't think that would work Good for a modern diesel but then again, it could be a case of 18000 miles of motoring like this before a modern diesel would show signs of problems, that would be 15 years of motoring for me. As long as the diesel engine and components were in Good shape to begin with, I could be fine with a newer diesel. I owned an automatic once, I prefer manual for many reasons.

Early DPFs did have a replacement period given by the manufacturer, newer ones don’t really, improvements have been made… 🙂

[@khalidacosta7133]

Depends but at some point, yes, the ash buildup that can't be burnt off remains stuck and needs to be cleaned out, or DPF replaced.

[@MiracleMitch]

It used to be the case but now as long as the DPF has not overheated and the filter inside not melted it will survive several cleans and therefore no longer needs replacing after 100k or 150k (my VW TDI has a 150k DPF replacement recommendation or sooner if the ash content is at a certain saturation level). No reason why a periodically cleaned DPF should not last the life of the car / van if well maintained. Like all parts, age can cause wear and tear and reduced efficiency and replacement may be the only option in such cases.

Geez, ford still uses fifth injector regeneration strategy ? we've mocked their engineers for a full straight day for making euro 6 out of euro 3 by simply burning fuel like crazy at customer expense and they still didn't learn :/ for dpf issues: 1. make sure to use ACEA C2 / C3 / C4 engine oil, that will drastically extend the life of DPF by not producing sulphur ash - however a off vehicle clean would clean it up. 2. make sure that thermostats are in order - to low coolant / oil temp may prevent ECU from triggering regeneration AT ALL. 3. make sure your pressure / temp sensors on dpf are in order - regeneration requires bare minimum of 620C, if ECU thinks that temp is 640C but in reality it's 600, there will be no regeneration what so ever. 4. make sure your injectors are clean, the injector seals are not leaking, common rail pressure is in order - that will give you bad spray and very smoky output clogging up dfp quickly 5. make sure that your air intake charge pipes are not leaking and relates sensors (maf / map) measure correctly as this will give smoky output clogging up dfp quickly Now if you reeeeeaaaaalllllyyy feel in the mood for crazy vehicle mods, you can buy your self exhaust insulating glass-fibre tape and insulate exhaust manifold + turbo + piping to dpf along with dpf. On normal driving that shall increase dpf temp by 30 - 70C lowering ECU need to use fuel to boost the exhaust temp. Also make sure that all the exhaust joints are not leaking any fumes (even the turbo VNT / waste gate arm can exhaust leak pressure) - that pressure drop will cost you dpf temp making ecu squirt even more fuel to heat up the dpf.

Actually the whole meeting was a train wreck where they were mocking us (their customers) and we just gave up with politeness and started to piss all over their engineering skills and trust in their own work.

Not many people in the auto mechanic world who know what they're doing any more, most of the "specialists" are ex-dealership technicians who've never worked on anything less than 5 years old, and where serious problems got shipped out to external contractors, all they're taught is to plug in a diagnostic machine, follow a set of instructions and replace a predefined list of parts. I was trying to get coil springs replaced on my car recently, I must of called 8 difference garages, most wouldn't quote and two told me they didn't have the right equipment for the job. I've seen people do it on KZbin, with nothing but a trolley jack and a 15mm socket.............. Seems like nobody wants to do the heavy/tough/dirty jobs any more.

Hi, you really know what you are talking about. I have the same problem with my 2017 Citroen Relay as you have shown with that transit custom. I’m £0000’s in with Citroen, including a new engine at 22k! Where are you based so I can get you to sort it? Thanks

[@TheCr0w]

Great content mate, can I ask you what is that diagnostic tool you use? I look to purchase Icar soft ones, but yours looks like it's a software on tablet which I like better. Cheers and keep up the good work.

Thanks, "Slightly out of my budget xD "

Hello. Launch manual says that liquid should shoot in the dpf when idling. Have you tested is there a difference betwewn that style and your style when the liquid can stand still in dpf a while before engine running.

[@ORileysAutos]

Yes it has slower results and slightly less affective but depends on the vehicle in question sometimes it has to be done with engine running

[@SocksWithSandals]

I did not know about the vaporiser.

[@jameshallen007]

Can't imagine how hard these modern vehicles will be to work on in years to come when everything seizes up!!!

[@jasoneldridge4738]

Everything on Transits seizes up quickly!

As a new subscriber, it would be really useful if you could recap what the fault(s) were at the end of the video.

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks for the sub!

[@markgregory3966]

This is a simple check and takes 2 minutes to diagnose on a Transit, simply put a mitivac onto the fuel hose that feeds the vaporizer and if it draws a vacuum you know its faulty

[@guygfm4243]

Good job

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks

[@dermotsmyth6641]

Absolutely brilliant mechanic. A proper mechanic should i say lol

[@ORileysAutos]

Thanks

[@dalelyons4366]

Yep well done ..

[@hansandersolsen5540]

I fixed my DPF with a mason hammer and a welder.. Seems to be working ok now..

[@Ben-in6qh]

I've just got myself a 2014 2.2 custom and it puffs a little black smoke when pulling away, is the dpf knackered? It got red hot when we did a Regen and I think may have melted it? If you rev it hard from idle is puffs black also, that can't be right? Cheers

[@ORileysAutos]

Egr or boost leak likely

[@mattxr6t]

How good is it that the Geniuses invented something that catches all the bad stuff, then burn the bad stuff back out again. And when the bad stuff cant be burnt, we put more bad stuff in there, then burn that bad stuff out....all back into the atmosphere. 20 years ive been a mechanic and Ive never gotten over how stupid the DPF and EGR system is.

[@euanbegbie]

How do you clean up the mess out of the exhaust?

[@craigwright1539]

Can I ask what the manufacturer is of the wobble impact knuckles that you use? Regards Craig

Halfords advanced

[@XcaliburReborn]

Doesn’t seem like they train mechanics to diagnose and fix anymore like this, they just train part replacers. Best off getting chummy with a proper mechanic and paying them cash on the side. They tend to have good connections so you can get things like ‘part worn’ tired for half the price too. (Usually only 50 miles on them where they’ve been moved from shipment to a fleet base where tires are changed to new as their policy)

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Great video question do you get any problems with this on the 2.00 euro 6 engine 2019

[@ORileysAutos]

Euro 6 is a lot more problematic

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

What are you finding is going wrong it’s only done 15k at the moment
