    20+ years I have been wrenching on vehicles, and I almost always learn a little something from your videos. Whether it be on a vehicle I have little to no experience working on, to some random electrical diagnosis that almost never happens in any vehicle ever. If I want to be entertained, I go watch people to stupid crap to their vehicles in the most hack way possible, if I actually want to learn something while I am being entertained, I come to this channel!

    • @danmackintosh6325
      @danmackintosh6325 4 роки тому +2

      GDI, alternately known to the trade as Gasoline Direct Injection or God Damn It, thanks to their propensity for buildup of carbonised deposits in the intake tract and back of the valve heads. The reason being that the lack of fuel mist constantly cleaning the intake parts coupled with increased use of EGR means any evaporative emissions from the oil/blowby get baked hard onto the surfaces.
      There's a whole business sprung up around the worst of these motors (IMO the PSA/BMW Prince series) where mobile contractors travel round decoking the inlet tracts using crushed walnut shell blasting which saves removing the head to decoke in the traditional manner.

    My Wife has this car, and when I work on it, I tell people I'm working on my Wife's Soul, lol. For anyone that has this, it has a rubber timing belt and it's an interference engine, so if it snaps and it will eventually, it could most likely will, (I knew a guy who got lucky which is why I worded it that way) destroy the engine. It should be replaced at 80k to a max of 90k miles.
    Story time, she bought this used it's an 2011 but virtually the same as a 2010 so while doing maintenance on it, she added it's been making a funny tick or rattling noise, so I check stuff out broke out my automotive stethoscope, and I heard this crazy garbage noise on the Cam housing and looked it up rubber belt interference and I asked her did they change the timing belt before you bought it and she said I don't know, the odo read 198k and I was like oh no...when I got to the belt I was saying my own OH BABY!!! and well there's your problem lady, that belt was on the verge of snapping it looked like a cat got to it thinking it was grade A smoked Alaskan Smoked salmon lol!!!
    Now, I've always worked on my own cars as I'm a mechanic, and I love to price check shops in my area to get estimates on how much it would cost to fix this. My wife's soul (lol I can't help it) it's been smoked in, high mileage some minor dents a few scratches it's been well used and kid friendly lol, so it blue book value was 2k at good, and so I know if it weren't for me that car would have died because shops around wanted lowest was 4k for the job to highest 6k, and lol it cost me 300.00 bucks to do it myself. It's not a hard job, it is time consuming especially if you do this at home and not on a lift like I had to, and I can see it being very stressful on a Diy-er because if your timing is off you could destroy your engine. The cost to repair it was over the value of the vehicle so I'm sure had my wife not met or married me it would have been toast. Also as we dated I found out the mechanic she was seeing was ripping her off, and I like to have all kinds of repair manuals for all cars I own plus with Internet and tons of websites and UA-cam I just like to have all available resources at my disposal, because even with 36 years under my belt all vehicles have the same and different things at the sametime, wiring diagrams you know good to have this info on the vehicle you're working on. So I looked and looked and couldn't find a repair manual anywhere not even Haynes which I called and was told they don't have one because KIA didn't make enough of them, I said to the nice lady BUT THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!! So anytime I'm out driving and see on I say, They Didn't make enough of them," my Wife sighs lol. Overall these are super easy to work on. Thumbs up!!!

    At a certain point in my own automotive history every time I bought a crank sensor for my Jeep Cherokee I brought a multimeter with me and tested it at the counter. They are usually DoA if you're going to any place other than NAPA. I have tested 2 bad right out of the box at the counter at 2 different times. And I think that was before I bought one that was already bad and discovered it for myself in the garage while I was battling a no start problem, so there have been 3 DoA CKP's in my history. And I think the brand was BWD ironically (Broke When Delivered as you like to say)

Reluctor inside distributors also use that same technique of a tone wheel with a pickup coil.

    ERIC O.. you can trigger the crank sensor in circuit by wiggling a screw driver in front of it where the tone wheel would be just to see if its alive and you get some events coming from it.. its the same as the metal tone wheel going by and for all intensive purpose the same as the bypass test only now you get to see if the sensor is alive as well.. same trick works for the other style sensor where the magnet triggers it.. just use a small pocket magnet and wiggle in front of it and you should see some activity to let you know its still alive. hope this tip helps you if you don't already know it.

    Thanks for that Eric, you just completely helped give me another idea on an ABS issue on a Peugeot 206! Long story short, car got hit & I replaced back axle etc with one from a parts car. It had no ABS sensor fitted but I had known good spares, yet still ABS fault after rebuilding. Not looked that deep at it yet but I was thinking either it had a non-ABS hub or a wire got tweeked in the wreck, thinking about it though the rust buildup keeping the sensor too shallow in the hole is a good possibility.

I made a gillion dollars off those crappy engines - anyway she had a guy top her tank off and she drove it home and then it would not restart ... I could find nothing wrong with the engine... I finally got a clean known good bucket of fuel - bled the system - reprimed it and it ran fine... then it was drain the entire full tank out and get more fuel - what a pain in the butt. It only takes 4 things to fix any transportation problem - patience - perseverance and money - if those three dont work it's time to arrange for spontaneous combustion of the insurance policy.... fun video

    I'm not sure if the same goes for that engine, but I know Hyundai's 2.7l Delta engine is extremely picky with its crank position sensors. I had 3 aftermarket sensors fail to run the car, with the best one _kinda_ running but dropping out. I pulled the oem sensor out of the garbage that had bare wires touching & it ran perfectly with it. Bought it with a broken timing belt, replaced the cps in the process because it looked terrible with wires that were literally touching with all of their insulation burned off them, turned out to be better than the aftermarket sensors.
    aftermarket sensors not working at all while oem sensors work perfectly has been a theme with that car.

    In Calgary auction vehicles are going for more than private sale vehicles! Insane. I don’t know who would gamble on an auction vehicle you can’t drive or check out unless it’s a smoking price.
