    Hello Luis, someone here already mentioned it. You are more than an excellent technician, you are much more than that, ¿do I have to mention it? right Now what I have to tell you is that you and all your loved ones in home have the best year 2023. Through the Atlantic Ocean from Tijuana B, C. 🇲🇽 Mexico, my best wishes, keep being the same Luis.

    Hi Luis, as a mechanic of 40+ years I've listened to other peoples opinions of faults which has led me down the wrong path, and guess what I probably will still do it again, just human nature to believe other peoples point of view, It's difficult to turn round to a customer/driver and effectively say you don't know what your on about (positively rude really), but fair play after some logical thought you discovered the root cause, even though the customer was mistaken in their assumption to the problem....love the videos, and a Happy new Year to you

    Great Diagnosis!
    I currently have a speedometer problem with a 2003 GTi Golf MkIV.
    It is only working in the 90 to 120 + sector and not going back to zero, so need to find out why before changing sensors etc.
    This video is really informative,
    Thanks.

    Happy new year bro! I guess we both can add that to our New Year’s resolutions list. We have to stop wasting our time doing what customers want us to do and do what we know works. Great video as always! Can’t wait to see what you find on the Bimmer and how you go about diagnosing the misfire!

    Great content Luis as always. Fun fact: I drive the exact same model and spec, just with the BCB engine and 5 doors (and in black :D). Anyway, a happy new year to you and your family! And dont worry about sounding pretentious. You WILL start distrusting other people's accounts and double-checking them after reaching a certain point in life. Nothing wrong with that.

    I have taken jobs and not started from were I would begin as testing already done Big mistake 🤣. I diagnosed my vw with EGR sticking which was correct but took to vw for replacement parts and asked for discount when the diag correct as I know they cannot just go by me. And because I was right only charged half . I was auto electrician.

  • @neilmurphy845

    That is unbelievable to suggest he needed a new gearbox and sensor without checking the wiring first Absolutely madness.

    • @Greenturkeyman
      @Greenturkeyman Рік тому +1

      The problem with older cars is that the parts are cheap and plentiful. So instead of investing any labour investigating they just say "throw a 30 quid sensor or second hand box at it".
      Reality is they just don't want the work.
      Guys that invest time properly and methodically checking are hard enough to find. This guy re soldered the connectors "just to be sure" there's 15 pins each side and they are fairly small. Try finding someone like this anywhere else in the UK.

    Hi, I suddenly had 3 elective peobpemas. 1, my odometer shows no speed, my outside temperature sensor stopped at 11 degrees, my fuel level, even though it goes up and down in turns, then drops to 0. These errors occurred simultaneously. what do you think it could be?

    Hey, I have a Golf 4. The gearbox has been changed from your automatic to a normal one. The speedometer is not working. A speed sensor has been installed, but it is not working. How is the solution to the problem?

    • @LMAutoRepairs
      @LMAutoRepairs  Рік тому

      From a quick look, looks like despite the connection of the sensor to the cluster is on the same pin, on pin 28 on the cluster 32 pin blue connector, the connection on a manual or automatic goes through a different connector in the engine bay...
      I would say, double check your connections against diagrams...
      Perhaps also make sure everything is reaching the cluster...

    Hi Luis, I have this fault in my car right now, it comes and goes, it also affects the petrol too as sometimes it says low petrol when I have a full tank. Exact same car as yours from 2003. Do you think this sounds like the same problem? Thanks

    • @LMAutoRepairs

      What is the background of the car?
      Are you sure the lights have not been covered or removed on the cluster?
      A test of the cluster with a scan tool will confirm just that...
