Unfortunately modern cars and trucks only work because of dozens of closed loop circuits which require some reverse and logical thinking to fix. The primary qualification for fixing vehicles is electronics and industrial computing. Secondary to that is being a mechanic. The 2 are not really compatible. A mechanic may work through a check list to clear run of the mill faults but without detailed understanding of how the system works as a whole complex and unusual faults will never reveal themselves.

Some were at least going back a few years. My father was an outstanding mechanic but left the trade when the garages went over to replacing whole units instead of repairing the old ones. I worked with him on his private customer's vehicles from when I was 9 or 10 until he'd had enough in his 60's and we did everything from servicing to engine overhauls. I serviced and maintained my vans when I had a same day courier service and I still maintain my motorhome and everyday vehicle now. Dad is gone now but he taught me well. Either you're too young to remember when real mechanics existed or you should take your dog mess covered glasses off.

I have found that ambient air temp sensor is a critical sensor for a many components in a modem day vehicles (especially diesels). The two one's I have come across was the first one I had, the parking sensors where not working (parking sensors need this temp sensor reading in case snow or ice may be present on the sensors which may cause unnecessary sensor activation). The second one was for a AdBlue concern. (as you may know, the AdBlue system needs to know the ambient temp in case of AdBlue freezing for heater regulation). Good video and excellent information, subscribed.

You're right, I had my entire AC system in my Astra stop working after hitting a bird at high speed. The bird took the wires off the temp sensor behind the grille, and luckily as it was a hot day I noticed the AC stopped blowing cold immediately. I thought it had punctured the condenser and dumped the gas but was surprised it was still holding pressure. Only after replacing the exterior temp sensor did the AC start cooling again. That car is not new and surprised me that there was a connection in the vehicle software.

Nice one Jimmy 👏👏 If it wasn’t so tragic that this chap had spent so much money to rectify the problem this would be laughable, it seems to me that most garages just throw parts at them at the expense of the owner and need to be held accountable if they can’t find the issue, let’s face it the answers are out on the Tinternet Web Thingy with a little bit of searching, I know these modern vehicles are a minefield of electronic wizardry that even the main dealers seem to struggle with, though they should have the training and specialists equipment for their own brand it seems to make no difference to the problem solving, I’ve heard so many similar stories to this one especially with reference to the Transit customs.

Well done Jimmy for being a decent honest guy, with a good knowledge.

I'm sure I've come across topics covering adding temperature sensors to the older boxer that didn't have that function activated. I think you can just buy an appropriate thermistor and use that. you'd just have to get hold of a sensor used in a factory mirror and measure the resistance readings in 2-3 temperature point and then put the reading in an online calculator which will tell you what thermistor code number you need 👍
@brainndamage11 ай бұрын
NTCs come in standard values, measured at 25°C, the temp coefficient as you said can be calculated from different readings (easy to get accurate 0°C with ice in water, then ambient temp with a thermometer). When you have the right thermistor, solder wires to it and pot it in silicone or epoxy (for weatherproofing). The thermistor itself costs less than 1 euro at Farnell, TME or any large electronics parts distributor

Good job, I’d no idea the external air temp was used by so many systems in a modern car! To get a true reading it’s got to be external to the vehicle though which immediately makes it vulnerable to damage wherever you put it, putting it in the engine bay would make no sense. Ironic it’s in the mirror though, perhaps the customer should take the old one to the previous garages so they could take a long look at themselves for not sorting the issue themselves!

I had a 2016 Boxer van with 40,000 and the engine blew up (thankfully fixed by our dealer) but it had dpf faults nearly every week of the year we had it. I wish I had seen this video back then. I was glad to get rid of it.

Sound like you had a dodgy one or unsolved issue. 140k on mine and no serious problems
