I know I have forgotten to connect/ tighten something in past. It is easy to do when you have to stop for any reason, like the rain and when you continue you think you tightened before moving on to the next step. But at least you caught it before cranking fuel everywhere. nice one !

Oh mate. So many variables when you’re mobile that you start to forget the next step. Yeah, I’d consider myself lucky for this one 😂

Love the content 👊🏽 Never a boring moment with your Vids 💯 2017 Merc sprinter, for a full service, drained oil removed all filters, had the fuel filter out aswell (usually clamp the pipes with the plastic pliers, this time I didn't) Decided I wanted to check the lights all round, turned the ignition on, walked around the van and came back to a pool of diesel 😂😂😂

Did an oil change on my focus recently, forgot to connect the MAFS to the air box, when I started it, it caused a check engine light to come up. Took a split second to realise what caused it. It's the simple thing's we often miss.

Biggest mistake was in old job was in work customer comes in on busy day (rental place) oil light on - put 1L of oil in. What he didn’t tell me was he’d just done that twice (and overfilled it). The 1L tipped it over the edge and nearly brand new Audi a3 s line tfsi went boom duh duh duh😅to be fair this was before I ever started working on cars seriously and not just my own, and think with the customer having limited English could have “happened to anyone”😂😂

Mine was leaving that ratchet on the main crank bolt of a ford, started the engine and it undone the bolt, was only in for an ancillary belt and I still managed to write it off, I gave that customer a new car hes been very loyal since, I think hes hoping for another new car 😂

Thank for reminding me that i still need to change my fuel filter on my car. The worst and annoying mistake i done was with my insignia when i had to do the cylinder head i took the injectors off, changed the head gasket, put everything together, then found out i forgot to put the injector seal rings on so had to remove the injectors again and at the same time forgot to connect a connector to the throttle sensor i think it was. I dont remember the code i got but i almost ended up buying new sensors lol. I wont make that mistake again.
