@ScannerDanner - I have learned so much from your videos! Thank you for the years of learning! @DiagnoseDan - I just found your channel and this is my first video I have seen. Great content, looking forward to learning from you as well! Subscribed!
have you heard of exponential growth? knowledge is pretty much the same, when you now very little you think you know everything, but when you start to learn more and more then you start to see how exponentially vast the universe actually is compared to your previous perspective, and then you realize how puny your knowledge is compared to this vast universe.
I can’t count how many times the dealerships have misdiagnosed problems with my cars and usually high dollar items. This is why I now wrench my own cars. Thank you to people like Dan and other you tubers to keep my Bmw and VW healthy.
Both of you guys are awesome. I learned a lot from ya'll and I'm pretty badass now coz of it. Reading or taking tests don't teach me well but watching real world diag helps me a ton
The level of complexity on the problems you encounter is unbelievable. The fact that you manage to solve them is amazing. Keep up the good work and now I know where to go if I have a gremlin.
Hi Dan, I watched all your diagnosis vedio s but in this lesson could not understand the relation between fuel and oil level and it's effect on fuel trim, plz explain.if I am not wrong.
The Name of the Dealership is not mentioned but somehow i've got a feeling they are going to see this video😉 But i hope they turn this into something positive!
As someone who has worked at dealerships, the system creates issues where most things are guessed at and then the tech moves onto the next job. Under warranty, guessing at a part replacement will typically pay better than diagnosis. This type of repair then gets translated to customer pay jobs. This attitude results in poor customer service, but is ultimately what keeps the money rolling in. The customer reaction at the German luxury dealers I have been at is typically the same (under warranty or customer pay), the customer gets frustrated and eventually trades the car in for the next model.... the ‘problem car’ is sent to auction.... and becomes some else’s problem!
@@Diagnosedan I loved the no dealerships were hurt line just like they do in the movies where animals appear to die they say no animals were hurt. I thought Dan could be a director some day! That was so cool!
DD fixed it again. My name is Conrad. I am pretty new in this industry and this man's chanel has become my favorite TV Show sinse the day I watched his first video. a real professional. I really admire him.
Great diag. I thought at first it was a injector stuck open, then i thought it might be a saturated canister or fuel pressure to high. i would have never guessed the high pressure fuel pump. Now i learned something. Thank You.
Strangely 50 years ago I would have gone straight to the fuel pump if there was fuel in the oil with a mechanical pump. I would wonder if the catalytic converter may have been damaged, excellent diagnostic path though, well done, subbed.
About 50 years ago, I worked on an old Vauxhall that had leaked fuel into the oil. It actually ignited in the end; blew a big jagged hole in the oil-pan!
Every technician have there own skill to diagnose by the fault codes, but I think the real hero is one who solves the problem. Customer only need is to get the problem removed. Nice video.
Your video is the best, nice clear footage combined with nice clearly spoken narration, very easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. I like your clean and tidy workshop too. Keep up the good work!
As a dealer tech trying to break the norm myself, I would gladly take that course. There’s a lot of good dealer guys, but there’s way more bad ones, and I don’t ever want to be one of the bad ones
You are the man! You saved that Customer (time and money), that Technician (poor diagnosis skills) and that Advisor (a lack of care, he just echoed what his Tech said, with ZERO quality control) and their Dealership (liability and credibility).
Thanks for sharing Dan. Most if dealership around the world doesn't diagnose problems properly (time/no good diagnosticians). They just throw parts n see if it fix.
I've found your channel recently and I'm so grateful not only for sharing incredible knowledge, but also for putting your greatest effort into making it easy to understand. Where I live, Venezuela. scopes are a very rare thing to see and I've always felt intimidated by them, but thanks to your channel, I've lost that fear and I believe that bit by bit I'll be able to improve my diagnostics. Thank you so much for your videos Diagnose Dan, you've opened my mind to new possibilities. I hope that someday I'll be able to make diagnostics as good as yours! Keep up the good work!
Dan great method of teaching and the way you looking for clue and put them together as solid evidence is amazing, I must say that I have attended a one day course of automotive event and I have gain more knowledge of your video then that one day course. Thanks for sharing.
Everyone makes mistakes in diagnosis! It doesn't matter if you are a doctor or an auto tech, we WILL make a mistake and sometimes a foolish mistake. Perhaps this was a very young tech just starting out or whatever, my point being that unless you know the backstory, you have to do like Dan does and simply diagnose and correct the problem without shitting on the other guys work because one day, my fellow tech and non-tech commenters, you will be on the other end of this! As a licensed tech for more than 40 years, I speak from experience. Very well presented and logically diagnosed, Dan, as usual!! I always respect and enjoy your professionalism!
I appreciate your concern for not ripping the dealership for a faulty diagnosis, but as a consumer, I don't pay for stupid and there is absolutely no reason something this basic should have been misdiagnosed and charged for. With that said, I really enjoy your videos and how through you are in making your diagnosis. Keep up the good work, people like you are a very rare commodity!
Another Excellent video. I am amazed that dealerships would use untrained technicians to diagnose customers cars, especially for the rates they charge.
You are so good in explaining the whole process. The way you explain, anybody even young children can understand completely. The way you explain it, you could be a very great presenter in any subject , doesn't have to be in mechanical topic.
good call big Dan, I was thinking injector issue to start off and initial fuel smell in oil. How a tech could come up with needing a turbo beyond me :-) Top job and smooth thoughtful and direct diagnosis and fix. Dan you the MAN 👍👍
On turbo diesel engines, if the seal in the turbo axis leaks, the oil that cools and lubricates the turbo axis goes into the intake. this can cause an engine runaway condition. On a petrol engine? nah, it would be OIL inside a GAS/PETROL engine... but I guess if not too much it could still cause a rich condition...
@@izzydizzy1115 You are too kind... but I'm far from a pro. We do regular / preventative maintenance at our shop. We don't see / get a lot of diagnostic repairs. I'm way behind in terms of skill level.
The biggest question is, where do the dealerships get such amazing mechanical wizards who seem to have as much combined knowledge as a corn flake? Great diagnostic and fix, I bet the lady was happy.
Ah parts darts 🎯don’t you just love that game 😉 Nice one again Dan & thank you for saying not all dealerships technicians are bad. I’ve been a 30years main dealer tech & seen it all good & bad but parts darts is not a game I participate in. This sort thing happens at independents & back street garages too, I regularly have to fix misdiagnosed faults from these establishments. It all comes down to education & learning new skills & refreshing those skills regularly, And most importantly having great teachers like Dan the man (diagnose Dan) to teach you. Keep up the great work, All the best, Madds
Your right I'm really impressed with the skills of some Dealer techs i know. That's why i mentioned that training is important whereever you work! Thanks for watching my video's!
Hello from the UK, thoroughly enjoying the videos. Wish I had someone like you to diagnose my car which is pinging. Maybe I should head over - quick, before Brexit!
Really good video Dan. It was well presented and full of great tips. No worries, English is my first language and I can't talk either. The ending was funny by the way.
Multi talented, great diagnostician, comedian, teacher, Ivan impersonator...etc. Another great video that provided knowledge and made me laugh. Thanks Dan
Great video my friend excellent step by step diagnosis, I initially thought it was a stuck open injector like the one in James dillions video but your the man!!! That ending very funny cheers sandy
OMG! didn't realize direct injection has the same failure modes as a diesel. Customer is lucky a connecting rod didn't get bent, an engine fire started, or damage to the catalytic converter. Whewww. This is good to know Dan. Failure modes seem endeless in diagnostics. Learning soo much from your channel. Thank you so much for sharing valuable information!!
@@Diagnosedan Thanks. I have been out of repairing cars since before DI petrol engines became common. Like I said, I can learn something every day!. :)
How many videos have I seen where the car was misdiagnosed. When the dealership does it, it reflects badly on the manufacturer. I would think the factory would pay for and insist on qualified diagnosticians at their own dealerships. Your videos are always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing.
Greed video mate....lol.....bloopers are original......lol. You just got yourself a sub. Great diagnosis. Looking at one of those scan tools, the 808bt.....o am no mechanic, but would like to do some of these kind of work myself and save......bad enough dealerships charge so much for the parts. So dammed hard to find good, and more importantly , honest mechanics these days.
I didn't see that one cummin. My first thought was a stuck open injector. I didn't even knew that VW still uses mechanical fuel pumps. You have true skills, you're videos are very nice to watch. Keep up the good work.
DiagnoseDan friend I have question for you. Does internal leak in fuel pump affect performance of pump itself? Meaning can pump achieve peak pressure under load conditions? And could you use downstream oxygen sensor to see fuel mixture instead of using gas analyzer? I hope these questions make sense. Thank you sir.
@@kyhomegarage3430 i kept the old pump and i still need to find if it's leaking internaly from the high or low side. If it's a smal leak on the low side the low pressure fuel pump could have enough capacity to make up for the loss. You could use the O2 sensors instead of the gasanalyser, but i would prefer the upstream.
Don't worry about the pronunciation,it's a great effort from you that you do this in english for all of us around the world, i wouldn't mind you speaking german with en subtitles,the results speak for themselves!
hallo diagnosedan das ist ja super toll ich schaue mir gerade deine videos an und kann es bei der ausbildung der lehrlinge gut gebrauchen viele grüße paul
First of all, you are too kind to dealers. Secondly, your whole production is fantastic. Don't know why I haven't run across your channel before, but I am now subscribed!
@@Diagnosedan You can teach a monkey a trick, but not to think.....the hardest part is a good diagnose, not only knowing how a engine or machine works, but more important what is happening, and WHAT could be the course....btw have you had ever a car you couldn't find the problem?
I do not agree with what you said about the Dealership!! That is in fact real POOOOOOOR service that Lady got from them. I call that robbing someone blind. Poop on that Dealer! That Diagnosis was not that difficult especially considering the lady gave 100% accurate information to the dealer. Tech's like that need way more education and should not be working on something like that at all, thank good that lady was smart enough to come and see you. As always, GREAT Video. And also, that is a wicket nice shop you have! 👌👍
@@Diagnosedan Now, to be honest, if they bothered to pull out that dipstick at least they could have seen that there is fuel being dumped into that oil pan. It's the dealer for f*** sake, not some passer-by that thinks to be a technician. The dealer should have been "harmed" (named) in the making of this video but that's my opinion.
Nice video brother
Thanks Paul!😊

Dealership mechanic pulled the code, and when it mentioned "rich", he thought the customer was going to make him rich. $$$
Ha ha 🤣🤣🤣
That's a good one 👌
Mechanic get rich working in a stealership? You're joking right?
Hahahaha😂😂😂
This guy is the best I have ever watched in diagnoses. Absolutely first class.
Thanks Sean👍
One in million automotive technicians, God bless you. You just save that customer from an untalented volkswagen dealer
Thanks👍😉
The only thing that I have learned lately is that " the more that I learn , the less that I know "
And that right there is the answer to being a great mechanic.
What we know is not the problem. The problem is what we know that isn't so.
have you heard of exponential growth? knowledge is pretty much the same, when you now very little you think you know everything, but when you start to learn more and more then you start to see how exponentially vast the universe actually is compared to your previous perspective, and then you realize how puny your knowledge is compared to this vast universe.

That was a nice tongue twister. 👅 😂
With any luck, the tech is watching this and a little humility and a new desire to learn would come into play.
That's what i hope for!

What the general public doesn't realize is the dealerships have no different or better selection of mechanics than the independent shops do.
Exactly! They do have all the tools/information and support available 🤔
@@Diagnosedan You can teach a monkey a trick, but not to think.....the hardest part is a good diagnose, not only knowing how a engine or machine works, but more important what is happening, and WHAT could be the course....btw have you had ever a car you couldn't find the problem?
Brilliant, I wish all mechanics are like you, honest and maticulous.
😊😉
I do not agree with what you said about the Dealership!! That is in fact real POOOOOOOR service that Lady got from them. I call that robbing someone blind. Poop on that Dealer!
That Diagnosis was not that difficult especially considering the lady gave 100% accurate information to the dealer. Tech's like that need way more education and should not be working on something like that at all, thank good that lady was smart enough to come and see you.
As always, GREAT Video. And also, that is a wicket nice shop you have! 👌👍
It's robbing when they do it on purpose, i think this technician did his job with good intentions. Thanks for watching!👍
@@Diagnosedan Now, to be honest, if they bothered to pull out that dipstick at least they could have seen that there is fuel being dumped into that oil pan. It's the dealer for f*** sake, not some passer-by that thinks to be a technician. The dealer should have been "harmed" (named) in the making of this video but that's my opinion.
I suppose the tech tryed but that does not excuse the fact that they(the dealer) gave the job to a tech at a lesser level for such a problem.
Nice to se you never give up on fixes for cars as well as your videos doing a great job really enjoying watching and learning
Thank you Geoff!
Genius!
🤣🤣
Nice job never in 50 years have I seen a leaky pump leaking into the oil that way thanks
You have never seen it all John😉
