@YOUCANIC bi-directional OBD scanner used on 2004 Ford F250 6.0 Powerstroke
I rented YOUCANIC wired unit to fix my MB GL320 CDi, so I recorded this video to show what it can do on my truck as well. Rental service for $85 for 5 days is a no-brainer for a universal unit with these capabilities. As a result of my very positive experience, I will be buying their wireless Bluetooth version of the device. There are no yearly subscription fees besides the initial purchase price of the device. I am not affiliated with this company nor was I compensated for this video. I am simply a very satisfied user.

    0:14 "Dreaded OM642" - LOL - only by people who aren't very skilled at auto mechanics. Like a guy that routes crankcase vapors IN FRONT of the air filter so that the air filter can get oil saturated in no time. And WTF are you on about "sucking oil accumulated in the oil cooler"? Seriously? The oil cooler is a brazed-plate heat exchanger with oil on one side and coolant on the other - mounted under the intake manifold. What on Earth do you think this has to do with what you're dealing with here?

I have to budget for the car & say have at 2k aside for any issues &, keep topping up that maintenance fund. I certainly wouldn’t be able to do any of this myself. It’s too much for me.

  • @MaximMai

    Thank you so much for the suggestions! One comment is that, there is something to look out for when plumbing the PCV before the air filter on the passenger side intake. when the engine is off, there is nothing preventing the moisture and other things getting into the hose leading to the CCV. Once the engine is on, CCV starts opening, the moisture and other things might getting into the crankcase although the chance is low. An improved version would be adding some sort of filter there to prevent things getting into it.

    I have a 2008 Mercedes 320 GL in the problem is cranks. It won’t start until I use. The ether runs fine no problem at all but as soon as I turn it off it won’t start again I had to put it ether again, replaced the high-pressure fuel pump And is still doing the same thing any recommendation I will appreciate by the way, I don’t have no codes

      Stevemoreno7892 Try unplugging the sensor next to the turbo. The darn thing stops the engine from starting when it goes bad and unplugging it allows the engine to start. Drove me nuts for months

    I just acquired a 2012 Sprinter that has 100k miles with the OM642 3.0L V6 . The CCV is marked A-642-010-17-91. It may have been changed at least once already; I don't know. So maybe an aftermarket CCV assembly. Thanks for the video. Interested in your suggestion about loosening 4 bolts on the valve cover. Did you have to do that. I watched another video where a guy was having issue and use a pry bar gently to get it going, but he did not loosen any valve cover bolts. Do you know the torque specs for the valve cover bolts? And are there torque specs for the CCV? Also, no mention of using Anti-Seize on the steel bolts into the aluminum block. The factory uses Anti-Seize on all steel bolts into the aluminum block.

    Just put a smaller diameter hose piece into the original pcv valve. In front of the sensor( if you are concerned it being sucked into the turbo) This reduces vacuum created by the turbo a lot. I went with 4mm hole in the smaller hose piece.

    This makes a lot of sense. Most cars route the PCV in front of the air filters. I had a golf which had the same type of routing directly into the intake and the intake was also very oily.

    I don’t think I asked this properly before. I would love to see the plumbing of the PCV re-routing from the catch can into the air intake feed on the passenger side. What kind of coupler did you glue / cement inside that plastic on the air feed intake to allow for the hose clamps.

    Good job however, that coupling is going to collapse when it gets hot. I did the exact same thing. I fab'd up an aluminum support cage to slide into the coupling. No more deformation or collapsing..
