DDTSB, love it!

[@classicrestouk]

Dan, my first port of call after scanning the vehicle would have been to view live data on the gear selector. This should remove doubt about the position and point you in the correct direction? You ddtsb however is a time saver, and I will be subscribing when my workshop is repurposed for in and out jobs. 👍🏽

[@shane250]

You should offer a 24-hour use for DDTSB for like $20. That way, it will be financially viable for people who work on their own car and need it once every 1-2 years.

[@blower1]

Soon as you said 'Only leave vehicle in park' - I immediately said 'That will be the microswitch sticking in the selector lever'. It's a known issue on every DSG model with that style of shifter, which is pretty much all of them as it has been in use for 15 years , I've seen that issue on 2005's all the way to 2017 models on many VAG cars, mainly VW

[@BaronXS]

Same. I'm an Audi Tech and it's super common, although out fault shows "electrical system fault" on the dash.

[@GTIMAN2010]

Hello Dan! I really like your videos, but...in the last year you've uploaded 6-7 videos and now the newest one is more a sales pitch for DDTsb than a car diagnosing video!!! I'd like to see a real diagnostic video, like those with the BMW with the blown chip in the door handle, or the Mercedes that didn't start when hot... those were in the heavyweight category. :)

[@rennautomotiveltd997]

Couldnt agree more I used to really look forward to the technical videos he used to put out but every video (when there is one) in the last few months is literally a 20 minute sales pitch, I get business is business but thats not why I subscribed to the channel and is also why I will be unsubscribing

[@spin1275gt]

I agree, im also unsubcribing. This has nothing to do with diagnose its just one big commercial

[@Diagnosedan]

That really depends on what Comes into the shop. Don't worrie if it's interesting i'll film it. Making KZbin video's is also not my daytime job.

[@johnnyblue4799]

@@Diagnosedan I understand that, however, my main point was about the content, biased towards marketing lately and less towards diagnosing and not about the frequency of the videos. I don't know what your intended audience is, but, while containing very precious information, DDTSB is not a tool for me. I don't make a living from fixing cars (although I'm thinking I should've pursued that). I'm a software guy with a strong passion for cars and motorcycles. So a subscription based model doesn't work for me. I only maintain two cars and two bikes. A subscription to DDTSB makes little sense to me. By the time I need to use it would probably be expired. What is really valuable to me, and probably to much of your audience, is how you go about finding defects. The diagnosing process. Something we can apply in finding other defects too. In the VW case, I wanted to know how you diagnose that switch if you don't have your knowledge and access to something like DDTSB. If you'll consider a limited time subscription which someone like me could purchase when they need it (for let's say a day, or a week and for a specific vehicle) then I might get interested. Otherwise, watching a promotional marketing video is not something I need. I'll probably never own that VW car, so knowing that VW came up with that hack to fix this particular defect, adds little to my ability to fix my own cars. Sorry if I offended you in any way. It was not my intention. I'm only pleading for the return of the real diagnostic videos.

[@shane250]

@@Diagnosedan BECAUSE it's not your daytime job, you should be less worried about selling us products/services. I've seen people losing their audience this way too many times. You're probably the best diagnostician I came across (and I'm a trained diag that went to 2 years, full-time diag school, and then 1-year co-op with a diag of 12 years, who is also an electrical engineer...So that says a LOT. It will be a shame if you wasted your skill on selling stuff instead of sharing your wisdom. No offence though...Just my 2 cents.
