FFS...why cant drivers just check the effing tyre pressures ... no need at all for gizmos .../ i hate modern cars and the thickos that know F A
Totally agree, why do you need all this shite that's only put there to go wrong?
@@tonycox5625 - Absolutely- I have a Mazda 3 MPS 2011 with TPMS, it hasn't gone wrong yet probably cos it's got Japanese batteries but realise it will do one day. - Think I will be tempted to tape over the warning when it does - although it did tell me years ago that one rear tyre was a little low and I found a nail in it!! - it had gone down to 25PSI only 3 days after I had checked all the pressures, so perhaps it is a useful warning,
SHOEHORN yourself in! 😂
Horseshoe sounds more curly 😅
TPM’s aren’t a legal requirement. Replace them all with ordinary valves
Aren't they an MOT requirement if fitted to the car from factory? Not sure so please correct me if wrong.
In my experience with Ford Fiesta and Focus with TPMS not detected fault, it is cheap Chinese sensors. The sensors will report OK to a TPMS code programmer but the car won't like them. Spend a little more and get the Autel MX sensors.
Small high output engines are rarely reliable long-term unless they are manufactured by Japanese companies.
Mr Chops, that microfiber towel at 13.05 could be a very quick way to destroy your ECU. Think about the static build up against some very sensitive semiconductors. You need to keep the ECU in a static shielding bag to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Oh yes, good point!
eco boom
eco bust
240 bhp sounds good mate, I hit a corner in a bgt a while ago, big spin, don't use 2k solid on the firebird, it's very hard to get flat and so it looks proper, base coat and a good 2k clear will deffo look best, if it's not too dusty I'd do (and I do) it outside with your gun and compressor, tbh it's a skill you need to learn as opposed to silly rattle cans. For example I got a volvo in this week, it was dull on the bumper and wing, quick mask up and clear it, took an hour and brightened it right up, no need to send it away and spend 100s,all done for a cap full of clear, like 50p worth, if you can paint there's no flatting or polishing.
In the past I have made up my own spray booth with some old scaffolding I bought off ebay, a handful of poles and some fittings and then cable tie and tape polythene over. An hours work to put together but makes things easier.
@@paulf2529 yes that's great idea bud, I use a gazebo.
Yes I think it will be done outside on a tarp with gazebo to keep landlord happy
@@ChopsGarage yes bud, be careful, people don't like spray painting
Topdon is a nice unit but it wont read all cars .Check it does yours before purchasing. Dont think it does any Vauxhall or Peugeot but best to check
They are cheap for a reason …. 600s wouldn’t find my car, topdon support eventually added my VIN code to their database and it still couldn’t find it. Topdon basically admitted their items are work in progress. Sent mine back
That's good to know thanks, was thinking of ordering one but have a Vauxhall so won't waste my money.
@@andrewbarnes1295 seems to be pot luck. The reason they gave for it not finding my car was it was from 2004, only problem there was it was actually a 2018 car, it wasn’t even an available model until late 2014. Eventually they added my VIN and car details to their database and it still couldn’t find it. If it thinks it’s 14 years older than it is, I’m not sure I’d trust anything it says. They are way cheaper than other brands, but there’s obviously a reason for that, plus they have been promoting and giving them away for a long time now
I turned my tpms of Completely on my ford focus the garage wanted 75 pound per sensor if you can't tell if your Tire is low on air they should not be driving
I took my car for an MOT and the guy took a screwdriver and removed all my rust prothing and jacked the car in the wrong place after me telling him only jack it on a jacking point i had to spend a 2 days fixing it
Chops guess what I got in with a oiled up spark plug? Your fave a peugeot 208 gti with the thp prince engine. Only on 26k miles and spark plug 1 covered in oil
How did they ever get away with such a fragile engine (prince thp /ecoboost/ turboed puretechs) All crap and fragile.
Oh no mate, bloody Prince stuff
@ChopsGarage I think it might be pcv. Apparently they are part of the head cover lol. Who knew
Just bought one of those TopDon Bluetooth topscan dongles….. perfect ! Highly recommended. Really easy to use
I also just bought one because my campervan kept throwing codes. But the van's been stolen before I got to use it...
The ford eco boom the same problem is happening with the ford transits 2l Eco blue the engines need a replacement just like the 1L fiestas any ford and also the new Vauxhall Corsas also has got a wet belt
Who mentioned eco boom… it’s only a tpms that’s faulty!!
James how do you get in and out of the unit cars, there is an inch between them. Must be Bow & Luke Duke style.
Lol, start from one side and roll them out til I get to the one I want
James has Mrs Chops worked out your car sales company is just a cover for your love of cars! and your toy box, ref mx5 powered MGB PONTIAC CITREION VAN etc etc fair play to you!!
" it's got electric absolutely everything " as you manually pull the seat forward.... Made me laugh anyway ..
Hope you and brooke get the firebird all ready for her prom,have you thought about putting the fiat into a classic auction sale as might do well as will reach mire people🤷♂️👍
Maybe consider buying a trailer for moving/picking up vehicles. Taking a risk moving older vehicles even short distances when belts need done
Don't forget TPMS sensors are designed to fail after so long! I needed to replace all 4 of mine replacing on my Focus when I got back from holiday for a month. The car was sat for over a month and I had exactly the same issue have! I had all 4 of mine changed for £120 a few years back and I've never had a issue! i think the fail once the battery drops below a level or something!
Wouldn't touch an ecobang. Sadly ford have really lost their way.
It would be really funny if Matt from High Peak Autos wins the Merc.
He would probably over spend massively on it!!
Has he entered lol
Seems a lot more adverts than usual. One at start and two within 9 minutes.
James doesn't get complicated you lost me after you said it sounds tappety. 🤣👍🚗
Where you getting that topdon for £38!?!?
Them fords are prone to Tpms great video
cheers mate
Not sure a vacuum sensor for the ECU will work downstream of the supercharger... Whole idea is the SC gives positive pressure to the inlet manifold.
Cheers Ill check that out
Don’t buy a Eco boom wouldn’t touch one for a grand
Really don't like grey cars, it looks like they're still in primer, but on the MGB with the black wide arches,trim ect, it really rocks !
The Trans am makes a cracking prom car , Homes James 🤣🤣
Cheers mate
Just ordered a TopDon, cheers butt!
You may need to move the car for it to relearn the TPMS sensors. A lot of sensors have a roll switch and won't start transmitting until the wheels are turning or you have a flat. I don't know what sort Fords use in particular, so that may not apply in this case.
Ah, top tip many thanks Ill check
James how the hell do you do the showroom Tetris. How you get in and out of the cars to move them is a mystery to me 😂
Good work make, love the channel 😀
Lol! Why are you so surprised when Im soooo slender lol
Changed wheels on wife's 2014 kuga few years back and asked for about sensors and programming. Crazy money asked but did buy genuine sensors amd took them to tyre place for fitting and the guys there said they don't need programmed the car detects them automatically. He was right no issues, no faults, all worked correctly and were going well when we changed that car.
I wonder if the battery just got low
@ChopsGarage I was changing them from 19inch to 17 for a better ride and selling the 19s with the sensors in them so was easier to buy new ones for the new tyres rather than shopping back amd forward.
Discount code not working.
They're not called Ecoboom for nothing.
So wheres the video of the car that broke immediately?
tyre sensors on eco boost fiesta
they are rubbish sadly
Hi James. Nice MR2, great colour, and that Topdon is a brilliant bit of kit. James what's the story with that Gold Mercedes A class in the garage, pray tell, lol. Great video again, James 👌 💯 🇮🇪
I think I had in earlier vid. Its going to be slow mover I think
@@ChopsGarage How much, James.
@@liamegan4303 9700
@@ChopsGarage Thanks James. 💯% Respect
Great video to short !! so how's the bike riding going ?
lol, not much tbh
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍
Those mr2s are a lot sharper than mx5s I find bud. When an mot station is megga picky it means they don't want you due to being a car trader, they know that's when the vosa complaints start from the buyers.
Yes I was impressed
@@ChopsGarage just no boot space at all, basically passenger seat.
Broke imidiatly?
?
who won the Mercedes .
Not over yet
Barketta :)
240 bhp is mad.
To much maybe
What u expect it's Ecoboost problems
