Great video I agree with you new cars are terrible I work for a Land Rover dealer jlr cars are crap we have problems like that every day with exhaust sensors I heat up crack it of spray wd40 into it let it cool spray again and pray they don’t pull the threads im looking to get out of garage life
I've been in the motor trade nearly 35 years and nearly every newer car is an absolute pain in the arse to work on , even a basic service has the potential for disaster if you don't what your doing, everything is virtually impossible to get to unless you have at least four joints in your forearm, not to mention the escalating costs as you go from one seized this that and another, the problem is that modern cars are not built to last, i'm seriously considering stacking shelves at tesco!

Totally agree with becoming uneconomical to repair. Everything is mental money. I Work on evs and just to do even a basic hv harness is over £1k. No longer the satisfaction of diagnosing and then replacing one small part to fix the vehicle. It’s all £2k big units to replace but it’s where it’s going
Whole household here bailed out diesel cars early 2015, a Volvo S40 1.6d with elloys tank and a Golf 1.6d, both had errors for dpf . On petrol since, such a joy not having engine management codes popping up.
Been buying petrol 2L chain drive Honda for 20 years as my daily cars, can honestly say l've never had an issue beyond consumables wearing out, no faults, nothing failing or breaking, currently got a 2007 CRV that looks 5 years old and will be going a few years yet.
I had two E Paces Baz, one from new and the second a 6 month old demo car. You can check the ad blue level from one of the sub-menus on the dashboard. The first one was when they first came out, and for 2/3 months always seemed to be at the dealership! Second one had the DPF replaced under warranty. Although I loved driving the car, it wasn’t a car to have out of a warranty, sold it just before the warranty ran out. Bought a Honda HRV eHybrid. 5 years warranty, 5 years servicing and 5 years BD cover all included in the price. Had it 19 months now - Swiss watch and 60mpg. Jag dealers are full of cars nobody wants now! Great video Baz, always wondered what they looked like underneath 👍😎
Unfortunately, manufacturers have no choice but to engineer and fit these expensive and often unreliable emission control systems, they have to meet emissions standards, whatever it takes. If you think about countless millions of people living right next to busy roads 24/7 and the impact it's having on health, especially on children, it makes more sense. But I do feel sorry for mechanics and the repair bills the poorest people that have to drive older vehicles face. It could be enough to force people to use public transport if we had decent public transport, but we don't! I can see that you feel for your customers and do your level best to avoid expensive repair bills while still making a cracking job of it, I hope you get the thanks and appreciation you deserve!
Great video Baz and for all those who say buy a petrol they are now being fitted with particulate filters😲 My cousin and husband have one of those awful E pace Jags and they are always having to put AdBlue in it and they do less mileage than me. My Peugeot 2.0ltr Blue HDI only uses 10ltr's per 10k miles, still I know which is the better engine
An exhaust gas temp sensor failed on my 12 year old ( and since sold on) Qashqai a few years back and it was a pain in the rear end to get it out of the exhaust at the back of the engine in an almost impossible to reach spot. It took me three days of lying under the car swearing, grazed knuckles, pulled muscles from trying to get it out with ratchets, breaker bar and heat but it would not budge a millimetre. So I got a hacksaw and cut off the wiring and external metal bit and then I got a special socket for removing rounded off bolts (and it was well rounded off at that stage) and using the longest breaker bar I had, I pulled and pulled and slowly I felt it give way and finally come out. Luckily the threads in the bore were fine. I fitted the new sensor in and got it back up and running with no engine management light. Seeing as how a professional like Baz failed to get that sensor out with a pichler, I don’t feel so bad now that it took me three days of bloody mindedness to get my sensor out. Being stubborn and refusing to give in has its place I suppose!
Thing is I have to show the bad side of the repairs even with the expensive tooling as sometimes if it's going to snap or fail, I wish everything went smoothly all the time but unfortunately it don't we like to keep things real, glad you sorted it though and never gave up 🤙
@ well it gives heart to a diy mechanic like me when a pro like you gets frustrated with a repair job too! I thought you’d take a mallet to that car at one point as I could sense the frustration! I agree with you that modern diesel cars have become a royal pain in the rear end, which is why I’ve gone back to petrol. So much easier to maintain than diesels now. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos Baz. All the best from Ireland
Switched from diesel to petrol and not looked back. I now have a £5k budget when buying a car, as soon as it gets uneconomical to repair it' will be sold off. With cost of repairs nowadays makes more sense

Prvi put vidim da je neko namontirao novi DPF. Ovo je lulsuz u Srbiji. Uglavnom to posečemo, a dijagnostičar isključi. Bravo za posao. Svaka čast tebi. Pozdrav iz Srbije...❤❤❤❤
For me the issue with the dpf on these is that it’s in the middle of the car , take a bmw the dpf is closer to the turbo so when you want something to get to 500c+ it’s better to be closer to the heat source I know they block for other reasons egr etc but it still adds to the problem
A trick I learned a long time ago to get stubborn sensors out is to heat the fitting just below red, then quench it with a full hose pressure dousing with water to cool it really fast. They rarely need a second heating as the seize is broken. Cheers.
We had so much DPF problems with my wife's car that for myself I got an old 1.4 HDI Peugeot that was made before DPFs were a thing, and the missus went to petrol. I wouldn't touch a modern diesel with a 10 foot pole
Very good video. I have a Focus 150 TDCi 2017 and that is Euro 6 without using AdBlue. I don't know how they do it but I am glad. Still got a DPF of course so no 2 mile journeys. Hate tp receive that owner's bill for the work.
Diesels used to be such great, practical cars. Tough, reliable, less CO2 produced and economical - DPFs were a problem initially but nowadays with even more EGR activity and the need for a second (Ad Blue) fuel - they have become too complex, unreliable and expensive to fix. It's a shame. That particular DPF looked quite far from the engine - does that model of car struggle to produce enough exhaust heat to burn of the carbon naturally?
I have a massive Lazer tools tap and die set as many replacement catts have weld splatter in the threads and I've managed to save many a sensor thread with the set.doesnt work in every case but often gives enough thread to secure the damaged sensors 👍
@@craigbrandom3096 ye I've got the thread chasers for the exhaust side but not the sensor, I need to try find one somewhere as you only get about 5 threads to play with

New cars are shocking! I own a Colt Ralliart nearly 15 year old on 65k, nothing goes wrong with it, I look after it with oil etc, my neighbour has an ev 2 year old cost him a fortune and is £15k negative equity in it.
Great vid Baz! I saw a video the other day of someone melting crayons onto the thread of these exhaust sensors to prevent the threads pulling. Could you try that next time to see if the crayon wax helps to preserve the threads?
Bought a 3 year old 2019 Citroen C5 1.5 add blue diesel automatic Aircross suv with 30k on the clock, alright it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's been 100% reliable so far with regular servicing, it's already had the gear box trans fluid changed 3 times. Parts are no more expensive than our our old 1998 Citroen Xantia. Bulbs are cheap and easy to fit no headlamps out takes 10 minutes to change the headlamp bulbs. No more handbrake turns since the electric handbrake came along but Citroen have started to use better quality electric calipers to the first ones available. I fill the addblue tank twice a year and have never had a warning light for low addblue all in all it's a pretty reliable modern car.
This is why don't want new car I have 2014 ford focus estate on 200 thousand plus miles I service it every 10 thousand miles and wot ever it needs it gets it runs sweet 😊
I think the folks in the trade should bring the designer to a repair and let them see the problems they have to overcome but their so smug that it’s the best design they wouldn’t get off their arses to come and participate I came across a wiring loom a mate brought me that every wire was white with little numbers printed on it absolutely mental ,modern keep it 🙈👍🇬🇧
The DPF on a 2011 Hyundai i20 1.4 crdi is a horrible job, it's behind the engine and takes ages to remove. New one costs £3,300 from Hyundai. The only other one I can remember that was hard was on a Lexus. A bad DPF can write a car off easily because they cost crazy money. Looks like he needs tyres too
I work in a bodyshop we repair less stuff than we did 10yrs ago due to cost of parts when a headlamp costs £2k and u need 2 a car quickly uneconomical to repair
@MegaReddevil71 that's why people go into shock when the bodyshop says their car is a write off even if it only has a smashed up front bumper and headlights
What I kinda cannot understand why people get such an expensive car and then let the fuel level go that low, and also let the adblue system run almost dry (not necessarily in this case but in a lot of cases) and these two also can lead to problems with DPF issues. Just top up your fuel and keep your adblue from running low and you should be good in most of the cases. Yes I know there are cars that are problematic even then but most can go up to ridicolous miles if the owner tops up the fuel and adblue and does not only drive in the city.
I find that after you have heated the sensor and just cracked it off tip some cold water over it to cool it off and then they usually unscrew without stripping the threads.
Other than me fingers I don't get chance to get cold 😂😂😂😂... I once said to me boss I was cold he said man up and put and extra T shirt and pair of socks on..... Many moons ago couldn't say stuff like that now
I've completely lost interest in buying any new car or one younger than 9 years old. Too much needless clutter, adding weight, cost, more garage visits etc! Will need another car soon, something Corsa sized and hopefully not full of bloody sensors. I think petrol will be my next choice.
The way they design the DPF to include the downpipe, flexi section and everything else included in 1 piece. My MK2 kuga DPF is just that a dpf. The vapouriser and stuff is attached to the exhaust before and after the dpf. I believe the only senser is the temp sensor screwed into the DPF itself?
All these things supposed to make car's greener, do nothing but make motoring more expensive. They wear parts out faster - start/stop for example, which requires them replacing more frequently.
Those Ingenium diesel engines are a total disaster. Absolute rubbish and to be avoided at all costs. It will need a timing chain next unless it grenades first.
I worked in the retail motor trade we used to sell lots of Land Rovers and a few Jags but stopped dealing in them because people were getting rid of them with problems and we would end up with that problem plus the need to warrant these vehicles is prohibitive. The prep costs were too high and when you did sell it and have a profit out of it you ended up spending all of it on warranty work !
Here, if we're replacing the dpf (rare) I cut the boss off the dpf with the sensor in-situ (grinder) then split the boss using samo grinder. They then come out like lambs. Froze in the workshop here all day too - beside the heater was the most popular spot.
I drive a car which weighs less that 700Kg's, yes seven hundred Kilograms. Bear with me. If all modern cars were less than 1000 Kg's (which trust me is possible) we would have no need for half of the strangled emissions and over-complex nonsense systems we find on cars today, also the damage to roads/particles from tyres/CO2 emissions would be a fraction of what is present now. The car makers and legislators have now gone so far down this blind alley, that now almost every vehicle on the road is an enormous, totally-strangled, 2 ton monster, spewing waste and particles like there is no tomorrow. Light weight was always the answer. Less really is more.
Seeing you draining the Adblue reminded me of what it consists of. Well urea, AKA urine. So the car was really having a pee. Modern cars are beyond stupid these days.
Have you really heated the threat sleeves until completly glowing red? Worked everytime for me. Then you can unscrew the sensors without pulling threats.
Those Ingenium engines are just terrible. The amount of engines blowing up at ridiculously low mileage due to bad DPF location and not being able to regen sufficiently
@@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491 but there are many cars which have the dpf underneath the car. Not sure if this is a general problem or if cars with dpfs underneath tend to have dpf problems more often
Ones with the dpf further back, generally have a fuel vaporiser fitted with helps bring the temps up: but newer euro 6 don’t use this system, therefore needing the dpf closer to the engine.
We have gone backward in car technology not forward,,Give me a Toyota carina E or corolla from the late 90s any day of the week over any modern shitbox,,,There all disposable rubbish now,,
no need for messing with the adblue. Youve had an emission related fault it will start the adblue/scr lock 600 miles remaining until; you fix the faults, clear the fault codes (reset the monitors) and drive until the monitors have all passed in generic obd2. then the message will clear itself usually 29miles
All monitors have passed at 14 miles, I've done 24 miles now with a few miles remaining all faults fixed light still on and fails to reset start inhibit I've got remote diag going on it tomorrow with OEM tools and see what's going on... I've done everything to the book
@bazmeredith I had a euro 6 transporter in for a cylinder pressure sensing glow plug, after I changed the glow plug he still had ad blue fault 500 miles remaining. I had to clear the fault codes, do "reset SCR lock" and drive for 50km continuous. Once the monitors passed the light went out, I think that was around 29 miles. Did you check all the monitors cleared before you set off? Might have to clear codes in generic obd as well as launch/jaguar obd to reset all monitors, also check for an SCR lock reset function.
@GAH4444 I kinda had enough with it today, I'll be checking everything again tomoz buddy and will drop it in my community or may even do a story showing how I got on
To be fair though, before I found out it just needed a run I messed about for hours testing the adblue dosing valve and reductant pump. Even downloaded the wiring diagrams off VW Erwin had the scope out and everything, was convinced it was the ad blue dosing valve or the level sensor 🤣

Got to be honest, I don’t have any sympathy for the customer having to pay to repair all these modern cars. They bring it on themselves by insisting on having them and having all the tech. It’s the poor sods who have to work on them for a living I feel for. There’s a lot to be said for keeping old cars going and not having these issues… I’ve got an 80’s Volvo 740 that essentially does the same job as any much newer car but it costs me nothing. On that car the exhaust is… a length of steel pipe! Imagine that!! No sensors, no stupid filters, no adblue. Just a piece of pipe to make exhaust gas leave the back of the car! Easy, simple and cheap.
If your diesel isn't doing a lots of miles, mainly on long runs on motorways earning you. Not worth it and evan then?. But the Gov. Want them off the road.
You think that’s expensive, DPF filter on a Alexander Dennis double decker, £15k, 23 sensors on the exhaust, £700+ a sensor! DPF needs changing every 12-18 months.
Modern computer designed electronic shite , I ain't gettin rid of my LT 35 , gear driven fast as fk , 2001 about 6 wires will make it run 😂😂, owned it over 12 yrs , never had a management light on , these new vehicles are utter crap, cost a packet to run and fix , its mad now changing bulbs waiting for the car to go to sleep before the new bulb will work because computer says no 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈, my mates doin a range rover 68 plate , usual shit engine , crank busted , new crate engine from JLR , costs a packet , subframe bolt snapped inside the chassis, he's not happy 😂😂😂
When the AdBlue first come out it had a blue dye in it. That blue dye was turning to jelly in the catholic converters. I was working for mercedes-benz trucks and we had 500 trucks Plus catholic converter failing £5000 a catholic converter🤯 and that is why they took the Blue die out of it😮 it's horrible stuff it's liquid ammonia. If a truck has been driving around without AdBlue it can go against its o licence because the AdBlue warning light needs to be reset.
Exhaust systems now over complicated, Exhausting the customers bank account. Ta for the videos, very interesting and honest.

@@aficio698 cheers buddy this one is testing me I'm not going to lie, I've made many phone calls to people who specialise in jlr stuff even dealer techs and I've done everything right to the book it's just not playing ball but I'll get to the bottom of it, fortunately for me there's a great network of techs from all over the UK from all manufacturers and we all bounce off each other with various stuff which is really handy
Then these servicing agents are completly bad trained. Issues on DPFs in general are relativly easy to fix if you know how this system work.
@ pay peanuts u get monkeys!
New cars are shocking! I own a Colt Ralliart nearly 15 year old on 65k, nothing goes wrong with it, I look after it with oil etc, my neighbour has an ev 2 year old cost him a fortune and is £15k negative equity in it.
Thanks for this, its helped me to decide to stick with 30 year old cars!😀
Jimmy will be proud of you 😂👌🏻
Great vid Baz! I saw a video the other day of someone melting crayons onto the thread of these exhaust sensors to prevent the threads pulling. Could you try that next time to see if the crayon wax helps to preserve the threads?
Bought a 3 year old 2019 Citroen C5 1.5 add blue diesel automatic Aircross suv with 30k on the clock, alright it's not everyone's cup of tea but it's been 100% reliable so far with regular servicing, it's already had the gear box trans fluid changed 3 times. Parts are no more expensive than our our old 1998 Citroen Xantia. Bulbs are cheap and easy to fit no headlamps out takes 10 minutes to change the headlamp bulbs. No more handbrake turns since the electric handbrake came along but Citroen have started to use better quality electric calipers to the first ones available. I fill the addblue tank twice a year and have never had a warning light for low addblue all in all it's a pretty reliable modern car.
This is why don't want new car I have 2014 ford focus estate on 200 thousand plus miles I service it every 10 thousand miles and wot ever it needs it gets it runs sweet 😊
I think the folks in the trade should bring the designer to a repair and let them see the problems they have to overcome but their so smug that it’s the best design they wouldn’t get off their arses to come and participate I came across a wiring loom a mate brought me that every wire was white with little numbers printed on it absolutely mental ,modern keep it 🙈👍🇬🇧
Thanks for sharing very interesting video🤔👏😎
The DPF on a 2011 Hyundai i20 1.4 crdi is a horrible job, it's behind the engine and takes ages to remove. New one costs £3,300 from Hyundai. The only other one I can remember that was hard was on a Lexus. A bad DPF can write a car off easily because they cost crazy money. Looks like he needs tyres too
Very reason I wont buy an oil burner the savings in fuel lost in repairs and maintenance.
My 2015 euro 6 CRV has had some soot in the tailpipe for over 40k miles but runs and regens perfectly. Is there a chance the DPF isn't cracked?
I work in a bodyshop we repair less stuff than we did 10yrs ago due to cost of parts when a headlamp costs £2k and u need 2 a car quickly uneconomical to repair
It's not so much the parts it's the component protection and gateways to get the new headlamps and adas stuff calibrated it's a nightmare
@MegaReddevil71 that's why people go into shock when the bodyshop says their car is a write off even if it only has a smashed up front bumper and headlights
@@bazmeredith lucky we have a guy who comes in he's mobile and goes round all the bodyshops most he can do
Simply the best,,,,,,,,,,, Top Drawer,,, Straight forward Top Mechanic Engineer.,
@@travel8033 appreciate this buddy
Oh my... The price of vanity.... I'll stick with my 2010 Kia Rio CRDI- which has no DPF or Dual Mass as standard lol...
What I kinda cannot understand why people get such an expensive car and then let the fuel level go that low, and also let the adblue system run almost dry (not necessarily in this case but in a lot of cases) and these two also can lead to problems with DPF issues. Just top up your fuel and keep your adblue from running low and you should be good in most of the cases. Yes I know there are cars that are problematic even then but most can go up to ridicolous miles if the owner tops up the fuel and adblue and does not only drive in the city.
Drill a hole through it Baz, and tell the ecu to ignore it 😅
I find that after you have heated the sensor and just cracked it off tip some cold water over it to cool it off and then they usually unscrew without stripping the threads.
Baz talking heat you need to have a word with the boss man!!!!☃⛄
Other than me fingers I don't get chance to get cold 😂😂😂😂... I once said to me boss I was cold he said man up and put and extra T shirt and pair of socks on.....
Many moons ago couldn't say stuff like that now
@@bazmeredith or work faster😂😂
Some manufacturers meet the euro 6 standard without needing ad blue, my crv is one, honda's take some beating.
Does yours have any soot in tailpipe? My CRV has for over 40k miles but runs and regens perfectly. Wondering if there's a hence DPF isn't cracked...
@@williamb4726 Its as clean as a whistle, no soot. Mines the 1.6 ex 2016
How much would it be for a straight piece of pipe to be fitted?
great job lad as always pain in the arse job looks like uve sorted it next video please
Yeah Baz Reminds Of My 1.6L Cortina lol.....
I've completely lost interest in buying any new car or one younger than 9 years old.
Too much needless clutter, adding weight, cost, more garage visits etc!
Will need another car soon, something Corsa sized and hopefully not full of bloody sensors. I think petrol will be my next choice.
The way they design the DPF to include the downpipe, flexi section and everything else included in 1 piece. My MK2 kuga DPF is just that a dpf. The vapouriser and stuff is attached to the exhaust before and after the dpf. I believe the only senser is the temp sensor screwed into the DPF itself?
That looked an absolute bar steward of a job. Fiddly, frustrating and ultimately expensive. Go and get warm mate.
Super common
Unfortunately for stage 6 DPF’s
To crack the brick
Made of chocolate
All these things supposed to make car's greener, do nothing but make motoring more expensive.
They wear parts out faster - start/stop for example, which requires them replacing more frequently.
Those Ingenium diesel engines are a total disaster. Absolute rubbish and to be avoided at all costs. It will need a timing chain next unless it grenades first.
I worked in the retail motor trade we used to sell lots of Land Rovers and a few Jags but stopped dealing in them because people were getting rid of them with problems and we would end up with that problem plus the need to warrant these vehicles is prohibitive. The prep costs were too high and when you did sell it and have a profit out of it you ended up spending all of it on warranty work !
Bet you cut out the bits with the swearing in 😂
I used to swear a lot but the camera stops me best investment ever 😂😂😂😂
DPF delete.. I would anyway. Sod that.
Here, if we're replacing the dpf (rare) I cut the boss off the dpf with the sensor in-situ (grinder) then split the boss using samo grinder. They then come out like lambs. Froze in the workshop here all day too - beside the heater was the most popular spot.
1. Too expensive , too far , too big, (too = the vastness or extent of something ) 2. I am going to work, to dear Baz (to= direction)
Either try to remove with the system red hot or heat the boss that the sensor is screwed into, many years of experience says I'm right.
This is why I run a 55 plate Passat diesel estate
I will stick with my 241k 06 Ford Mondeo ST TDCI that I can service & repair myself. :)
I drive a car which weighs less that 700Kg's, yes seven hundred Kilograms. Bear with me. If all modern cars were less than 1000 Kg's (which trust me is possible) we would have no need for half of the strangled emissions and over-complex nonsense systems we find on cars today, also the damage to roads/particles from tyres/CO2 emissions would be a fraction of what is present now. The car makers and legislators have now gone so far down this blind alley, that now almost every vehicle on the road is an enormous, totally-strangled, 2 ton monster, spewing waste and particles like there is no tomorrow. Light weight was always the answer. Less really is more.
Seeing you draining the Adblue reminded me of what it consists of. Well urea, AKA urine. So the car was really having a pee. Modern cars are beyond stupid these days.
The nsr suspension looked lower than the other side maybe just the camera 👍
It's just the camera
Weld the sensors back in 😂😂
I've done that before now it was a case of having to
Have you got a new lunch diagnosis tool?
Have you really heated the threat sleeves until completly glowing red?
Worked everytime for me.
Then you can unscrew the sensors without pulling threats.
Those Ingenium engines are just terrible. The amount of engines blowing up at ridiculously low mileage due to bad DPF location and not being able to regen sufficiently
Whats wrong with the dpf location?
@danielseibert4082 too far away from the engine, thus not getting hot enough to regen properly. You need alot of heat to clear all the soot
@@-sargntclashroyaleandmore-491 but there are many cars which have the dpf underneath the car. Not sure if this is a general problem or if cars with dpfs underneath tend to have dpf problems more often
JLR TSB Online Stating due to vehicle architecture some models at high risk of DPF problems, Been well known for years.
Ones with the dpf further back, generally have a fuel vaporiser fitted with helps bring the temps up: but newer euro 6 don’t use this system, therefore needing the dpf closer to the engine.
for mechanics and owners a Jaguar has always been a nightmare
A bit like their new advertisement 😂
1:05 On the upside, the Jaguar's prostate passed inspection.😮
Baz no offence pal you need to answer your questions or messages iam subscribed to your channel I know you get a,lot off replys 😊
Which questions buddy
It's fine... Jag aren't making any new ones for a year!
Ridiculous all these sensors on cars.
@@jonathanhall3823 not wrong buddy
Fill tank to reset mate
We have gone backward in car technology not forward,,Give me a Toyota carina E or corolla from the late 90s any day of the week over any modern shitbox,,,There all disposable rubbish now,,
no need for messing with the adblue. Youve had an emission related fault it will start the adblue/scr lock 600 miles remaining until; you fix the faults, clear the fault codes (reset the monitors) and drive until the monitors have all passed in generic obd2. then the message will clear itself usually 29miles
All monitors have passed at 14 miles, I've done 24 miles now with a few miles remaining all faults fixed light still on and fails to reset start inhibit I've got remote diag going on it tomorrow with OEM tools and see what's going on... I've done everything to the book
If I had the miles to play with I'd do the miles but it was brought in on a shoe string
@bazmeredith I had a euro 6 transporter in for a cylinder pressure sensing glow plug, after I changed the glow plug he still had ad blue fault 500 miles remaining. I had to clear the fault codes, do "reset SCR lock" and drive for 50km continuous. Once the monitors passed the light went out, I think that was around 29 miles. Did you check all the monitors cleared before you set off? Might have to clear codes in generic obd as well as launch/jaguar obd to reset all monitors, also check for an SCR lock reset function.
@GAH4444 I kinda had enough with it today, I'll be checking everything again tomoz buddy and will drop it in my community or may even do a story showing how I got on
To be fair though, before I found out it just needed a run I messed about for hours testing the adblue dosing valve and reductant pump. Even downloaded the wiring diagrams off VW Erwin had the scope out and everything, was convinced it was the ad blue dosing valve or the level sensor 🤣
Petrol particulate filters are coming look it up
I've seen them and you can clean them the same way as you do the diesel
@bazmeredith I know BMW have been using them for years but at some point shit fuel sulphurizes them up and fucks them madness
Dont know if its the format your uploading on or what BUT all your video's keep freezing - audio is ok just the picture - i know its not my equipment as its all up to date
Not a slag off just saying
Like the video's & content its a daily watch after work to chill out 👍👍
Is it all videos or just this one, I always watch my videos on another device before it airs and seems fine
@@bazmeredith Its all of them - they seem to start off ok then start to freeze - picture only - audio continues - if I leave it - it eventually catches up to the audio - but it has skipped a part visally - if you know what I mean
It is NOT the length of the video as I watch Jimmy's around the same length - could it be the format MP4 etc ?? thanks for the videos
great video but agree what chance has joe bloggs got and going to get worse for sure
All shit that can go wrong, with these sensors. Why can’t we revert back to 90s with cars . So much easier mate.
All for the sake of a little copper slip-on assembly.
Got to be honest, I don’t have any sympathy for the customer having to pay to repair all these modern cars. They bring it on themselves by insisting on having them and having all the tech. It’s the poor sods who have to work on them for a living I feel for.
There’s a lot to be said for keeping old cars going and not having these issues…
I’ve got an 80’s Volvo 740 that essentially does the same job as any much newer car but it costs me nothing. On that car the exhaust is… a length of steel pipe! Imagine that!! No sensors, no stupid filters, no adblue. Just a piece of pipe to make exhaust gas leave the back of the car! Easy, simple and cheap.
Whole 2l JLR engine is one big joke . Smash out and remapped , for the rest go on holiday lol😂
If your diesel isn't doing a lots of miles, mainly on long runs on motorways earning you. Not worth it and evan then?. But the Gov. Want them off the road.
This i why ill stick to my 30 year old hilux that runs on veg oil
Wait til you have the misfortune
To replace a DPF/SCR cat on a ecoblue Kuga/Galaxy/focus
Bladdy horrible task
👍
You think that’s expensive, DPF filter on a Alexander Dennis double decker, £15k, 23 sensors on the exhaust, £700+ a sensor! DPF needs changing every 12-18 months.
Modern computer designed electronic shite , I ain't gettin rid of my LT 35 , gear driven fast as fk , 2001 about 6 wires will make it run 😂😂, owned it over 12 yrs , never had a management light on , these new vehicles are utter crap, cost a packet to run and fix , its mad now changing bulbs waiting for the car to go to sleep before the new bulb will work because computer says no 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈, my mates doin a range rover 68 plate , usual shit engine , crank busted , new crate engine from JLR , costs a packet , subframe bolt snapped inside the chassis, he's not happy 😂😂😂
Nightmare!
When the AdBlue first come out it had a blue dye in it. That blue dye was turning to jelly in the catholic converters. I was working for mercedes-benz trucks and we had 500 trucks Plus catholic converter failing £5000 a catholic converter🤯 and that is why they took the Blue die out of it😮 it's horrible stuff it's liquid ammonia. If a truck has been driving around without AdBlue it can go against its o licence because the AdBlue warning light needs to be reset.
You can't trust your Kids round a Catholic Converter lol
PETROL.😁
So y are you not just removing them that all garages do round here £300 quid and no more add blue or dpf jobs a good one
What a pile shit them cars power steering racks engines why buy a newer car my ford is 3000 miles of the road electrics kuput
Just keep advising people not to buy diesels
I've been doing it for years
