I’m a Ford master tech in the dealer a long number of years. I’m amazed at the amount of vehicles you’ve gone to that have been at multiple other garages for “diagnostics”, and then turns out to be something as simple as a broken wire, almost in plain sight. There are some cowboys out there.

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for making another great video, first class diagnosis as always. As a one man band myself, I have definitely picked up a fair few tips which have helped me from your videos, much appreciate your time and effort in doing them. And definitely understand where you're coming from with regards to your time, at the end of the day you don't need to do these videos but I think many of us appreciate them a great deal. Cheers 👍

Although I do not have any problems (yet with my Ducato), it is a joy to see you work. Meticulous and orderly, just following basic fault-finding steps. I also follow a few other mechanics like “Rainman Ray” from Florida, same approach. That’s THE most valuable tools when troubleshooting and fixing problems.

The problem with some mechanics is they rely on these scan tools to tell them the problem, which in some cases what youve had in this video and wasted components and pounds at customer expense. They seem to forget the basics of diagnosis. Well done mr o'riley.

[@charlestully4448]

That's my van! When Jimmy showed me the readings it was obviously a wiring issue - and I'm not a mechanic. I'm off to show the garage this (so pleased you videoed it) to see red faces. I share his confusion as to how they miss something so obvious. Thanks Jimmy, a grand job. The big question is how do you find a good mechanic apart from going to Biggleswade?

[@Ryan_DYD]

Post back what they say! I expect they'll shrug and ignore you. I have so little trust in garage diagnosis of issues from my personal experience, and pretty much no risk to them (just profit) firing the parts cannon. (Ford told me I needed a new intercooler as computer said MAP sensor was misreading, despite sensor being available separately, and despite me already removing it and putting in known pressures with a pressure kit and it reading correctly. Once proved they were wrong (in their car park having got a sensor from parts place) - "oh - you need to book it back in). Wkrs. Fault was *someone* had swapped the vacuum tubes for EGR/Turbo actuator (!!! who is another story). Had they diagnosed properly and run "Actuate Turbo" tests from their IDS tool, it'd have moved the EGR, and vice versa, and then obvious trace of solenoids to devices, and fixed within 15 mins. Took me a while..! Current van, ducato, bought new, day #1 bought decent OBD diag tools so I can actuate/test everything!

[@charlestully4448]

It's still my van. I had my garage look at the video today, shock at the break in the wiring and said they specifically looked and checked continuity so we are all confused. They look after disabled me very well so we came up with a friendly settlement of free service and MOT for the next two years as compensation. Why can not all problems be settled so easily and without argument?

[@patrickpirelli7897]

Because bot all garages will accept responsibility for there mistake, I've just been through it with Jason ward near wyke he's wrecked my telling me it was ok to drive it with the engine management lights on after he fitted a cheap sensor. Yes I broke down up Scotland and it cost me over a thousand pound and still the van is scrap

''Ecology'' I have renault master mk2 2.8dti previous van owners cut out dpf material and welded enclosure. Was woried that wont pass next inspection - passed with no problems. 10 years ago had 1.6d mk 2 jetta had dpf in it but didn't pass inspection went to my garage filled exhaust with water and soap few times revved it and 2m long black stripe was left on the ground after that. Went to inspection and inspection guys asked me how did i get my exhaust gasses so low because they have never seen such a good result on 20 year old car... Governments just push this nonsense to us and we need to look for specialists who can fix problem that is nonexsistant in the first place.

Even I, as a fairly competent DIYer, can understand the processes and steps that DPF regenerations have to take, what stops them and why just from having a 2007 TDI passat that has hit 230,000 miles, now on its 2nd DPF. Sadly these "parts cannon" places still exist where either profit outweighs correct diagnosis and repair or competence is severely lacking, especially those who are the 2nd and 3rd places that the vehicle has gone to. I have even kept my original DPF as a spare as cleaning them is now a thing, for when I will need it again.

I think you need to start a side business. Well that is if you have time after work. If you had a website or an email other than your work email for questions about diagnosis that you charge for. Even at $10 per question X 150 thats $1500 per day. good money! And at the very minimum it will weed out a bunch of dumb questions so only the serious ones will get through. Or do what others on KZbin do. Once a week (or month) do a question and answer KZbin where you only answer the questions when they send you "$thanks" (a little love) * I think you could make a bit of profit off of a Launch "smartLink B" Remote work as well. Like you said, only takes a few minutes looking at the codes and the live data to get a good idea what to do next. I would pay for that....... And based on your recent work some of the shops should be paying you for that as well.

[@anthonywilson4873]

The DPF with high pressure is blocked with soot. Soot is combustible and burned down to ash when it regents. Hi soot loading means lots of combustible material hence the high temp. The cleaning material put through the DPF clears some of this out to safer level so normal cleaning can commence. Higher temp is used to burn the carbon to ash. During normal high loads exhaust temp does this anyway, light load round town etc, means DPF gets build up of soot and needs help to burn it of. The vaporiser add fuel to the exhaust which ignites and raises temp sufficient to burn away soot.
