      Your car is right on the change from the 169 to the newer 319, so as you have asked on our vid, I will go on that one :) -- its not the easiest job as the parts to fit, just are not exact (we had two goes at this) but since we did this car, I spoke with audiotechdirect.com 01691 886130 about our pickup, they were really helpful and got me the parts in needed - ordering on line we have made many errors and wasted £££ - so my suggestion is call them, tell them the car and what you want (bluetooth etc or apple carplay etc ) and they will tell you what you need - there are lots of cheap looking parts on AliExpress etc, but they are always rubbish and never fit well, so you will spend less in the long run and get a better unit - lastly, will not affect sensors. Best of luck

    • @DrivenMadShow
      @DrivenMadShow 6 днів тому

      Oooohhh handbags at 10 paces - the turbo was rebuilt, never said we did it - so when is rebuilt not a rebuild ? "Rebuilt" is the past tense and past participle of the verb "rebuild." It means to construct, restore, or repair something that has been damaged, destroyed, or worn out, bringing it back to a functional or improved state. For example: - After the fire, the house was **rebuilt** from the ground up. - The car was **rebuild** using parts from different models or new components. In general, "rebuild" refers to the act of restoring something to a previous state, sometimes with enhancements or upgrades - now that fella, is what took place to the turbo ?

    please help me with some advice. i have 2 x L200 ...85kw engines, the one is starting has the pajero engine, looks similar with L200, but only the oil distick is different, one is for spare parts, the other one is starting very hard on cold and the for 1 minutes is smoking very bad, after this is ok...and the second probleme, i have no vacuum the turbo selenoids, or egr valve solenoid....i have vacuum to brake pump and to a tinny tube in the right, near the glow plugs reley... i have the input but the output from those 2 solenoids there no vacuum...4x4 is not running also....the front wheels do not engage, thank you in advance

    • @DrivenMadShow
      @DrivenMadShow 9 днів тому

      some possible solutions. ### 1. **Hard Starting and Smoky Engine (Cold Start Issues)** The hard starting followed by excessive smoke for the first minute could be indicative of a few issues: - **Fuel delivery issues:** The engine may not be getting the right amount of fuel at startup. This could be due to clogged fuel injectors, a failing fuel pump, or a problem with the fuel filter. - **Glow plugs:** Since you mentioned a Pajero engine, it may use glow plugs to help with cold starts. If the glow plugs are faulty or not operating correctly, it could lead to hard starting and excessive smoke. Check the glow plug system, including the relay and wiring. - **Compression issues:** Over time, wear and tear on the engine could cause poor compression, which can result in hard starting and smoke. A compression test will confirm if this is the case. - **Engine oil viscosity:** If the oil is too thick for cold temperatures, it can cause the engine to start hard and smoke until it warms up. Ensure you're using the correct grade of oil for your climate. - **Air-fuel mixture:** A malfunctioning sensor or injector could be causing an overly rich mixture, which could explain the smoking issue. It might be worth checking the air intake system, injectors, and sensors (e.g., mass air flow sensor or oxygen sensors). ### 2. **Vacuum Issues and Turbo/EGR Solenoids Not Receiving Vacuum** You mentioned that there's no vacuum to the turbo and EGR valve solenoids, which are responsible for controlling engine airflow and exhaust gases. This could lead to several performance issues. - **Vacuum leak or blockage:** Since you're not getting vacuum to the solenoids, check for any vacuum leaks or blockages in the vacuum hoses. Even a small crack in a hose can prevent proper vacuum pressure. Inspect all the lines going to the turbo solenoid, EGR solenoid, and brake booster. - **Vacuum pump failure:** The fact that you have vacuum to the brake booster but not the solenoids could indicate an issue with the vacuum pump, or there may be a failure in the vacuum control system. Check the vacuum pump and its connections to ensure it's functioning correctly. - **Solenoid failures:** It's possible that the turbo and EGR solenoids themselves are faulty and not allowing vacuum to pass through. If the solenoids are clogged or damaged, they may need to be replaced. - **EGR valve sticking:** The EGR valve itself could be stuck or malfunctioning, especially if it's clogged with carbon. Clean the valve and check the solenoid's wiring. - **4x4 Engagement:** The 4x4 system not engaging could be related to the vacuum issue, as the transfer case and front differential may rely on the same vacuum system for proper operation. If the solenoids or vacuum control is malfunctioning, it may prevent 4x4 from engaging. ### 3. **Front Wheels Not Engaging (4x4 System Not Working)** This issue could be related to the vacuum problems you've described above. The 4x4 system on many vehicles, including the L200, relies on vacuum-actuated hubs or solenoids. Here are some possible causes: - **Vacuum not reaching the solenoids:** Since you're not getting vacuum to the solenoids, this could prevent the front wheels from engaging. The solenoids control the engagement of the front axle, and if they don't receive vacuum, the system won't work. - **Faulty 4x4 solenoid:** The 4x4 solenoid itself could be malfunctioning. If the solenoid doesn't activate properly, the front axle won't engage. If you can hear the solenoid clicking when you engage the 4x4, but the front wheels don't engage, the solenoid may need to be replaced. - **Transfer case actuator issue:** The transfer case actuator, which shifts the transfer case to 4x4 mode, could be faulty. Inspect the actuator and its electrical connections. - **Electrical issues:** If there’s an electrical problem with the 4x4 switch, wiring, or connections, it could be preventing the 4x4 system from engaging. Inspect the wiring and fuses for any issues. ### Next Steps: 1. **Diagnose the vacuum system:** Check all the vacuum hoses and solenoids for leaks or damage. Ensure the vacuum pump is working properly and that the solenoids are getting the right pressure. You can use a vacuum gauge to test if there’s proper vacuum being generated. 2. **Inspect the starting system:** Test the glow plugs, fuel system (injectors, fuel pump), and engine compression. A compression test can reveal whether the engine is suffering from internal wear. If you have access to an OBD scanner, check for any error codes that could indicate sensor or ECU issues. 3. **Check for EGR and Turbo Issues:** Clean or replace the EGR valve and turbo solenoids if necessary. Carbon buildup in the EGR valve can cause poor performance, and malfunctioning solenoids will affect the engine’s efficiency. 4. **Inspect the 4x4 System:** Start by testing the vacuum to the 4x4 solenoids. If the vacuum system is working, the problem may lie with the solenoids or transfer case actuator. If no vacuum is present, investigate further into the vacuum pump and hoses. By following these steps, you should be able to narrow down the root cause of the issues and resolve them accordingly. If you’re unsure or lack the necessary tools, it may be helpful to take the vehicle to a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection.

    i got check engine light and it says sensor for coolant temperature not working properly can i change it without emptying the coolant its the green little thing on thermostat?

    • @DrivenMadShow
      @DrivenMadShow 15 днів тому

      Yes, you can typically replace the coolant temperature sensor (the green part you're referring to) without needing to drain the entire coolant system, but there are a few things to keep in mind: Locate the Sensor: The coolant temperature sensor is often mounted on or near the thermostat housing or cylinder head. It's usually a small, green or blue connector, depending on the manufacturer. Prepare for Some Coolant Loss: While you don't need to drain the whole system, you should expect some coolant to spill out when you remove the sensor. You can catch this coolant in a clean container or place a rag under the sensor to minimize mess. Allow Engine to Cool: Before replacing the sensor, make sure the engine is completely cool to avoid burns or injury from hot coolant. Replacement Process: Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor. Use the appropriate tool (usually a socket or wrench) to unscrew the sensor. Some sensors might require a special socket. Quickly install the new sensor to minimize coolant loss. Reconnect the electrical connector and ensure the sensor is securely in place. Check Coolant Level: After replacing the sensor, top off your coolant if necessary. If a significant amount of coolant was lost during the replacement, make sure to check the coolant level once the engine has cooled down. Clear Codes (if applicable): If your car's engine management system has a diagnostic code for the sensor, make sure to clear the code using an OBD-II scanner after replacing the sensor.

I remember banging her once, (from behind) in front of my parents coal fire, she had a tiny piece of pink bog roll stuck to her Gary Glitter, it didn't put me off mind. What ever happened to coloured bog roll?

    Hey Mate I got a MK Triton 2005 V6 Petrol Auto 4x4. My 4-wheel drive light all sudden flashing lightly and going away than coming back when driving in 2H. this all happened when my mechanic did a intake manifold gasket change, Map sensor clean, spark plug coil leads and thats pretty much it and told me that the 4x4 light was flashing. Any ideas, what's going on with my lovely ute? could it be a front actuator malfunction or Sensor in the transfercase ? Thanks looking forward for a reply.

      @@adamthewolf756 My main thought about this would be vacuum lines. Especially having removed the intake manifold I would suspect that a vacuum line has been missed or damaged. I’ve had it a vacuum line split with my truck. I’d recommend getting a vacuum diagram from a forum or google and do a visual inspection on them all, This is the best place to start, if there’s no issue maybe then look into a sensor or actuator.
