Great video, I'm sure there might have been a TPI for this fault. I can assure you most dealer technicians dont use a scope very much behind with the times.
Had experience of VW dealer once and it wasn't good. I dont think its the techs fault all the time, as you said its these stupid test plans that stop them using there brains. Also no sure they know how to use scopes. Excellent diag Gary.
Good diag, sadly most dealer techs lost if test plan shows nothing and also need to make bonus so no encouragement to think outside of manufacture test plan for themselves. Customer always suffers.
To answer the question why didn’t the main dealership see the same as you ? Because there not the same as you I doubt they even have a basic understanding of how the system works.
@@kevinpalmer7452 I personally think the manufacturers are not allowing their techs to learn, they are bombarding them with test plans that if there’s a developed fault it will find the cause but 8n this case it was a developing fault and it did not prove shit. There are some great techs in the dealer network who are frustrated that they can’t do the tests that they want to or do tests in the order they want to.
I have 20 years of dealer experience and agree with you on the mostly useless Odis test plans. On jobs outside of warranty you can use whatever test you want and dont need to stick to Odis. The problem is when the car is under warranty you can only claim the time you spend on the Odis test plan and you can only claim a part if you have a test that says that part is faulty. I know of plenty good techs in dealerships, they will just do their own testing and afterwards click through the Odis test plan to get the desired result so it can be claimed for warranty. Stupid I know.
Sometimes the test plans dont work, your test plan proved the fault nicely,
Good to see you posting videos again

Good to see you back I good to testing not just parts changing
That high load low RPM test usually tells if HPFP is failing. Good video as always.
Fantastic. Experience for the win!
Thanks for posting videos again. Very nice sir

Awesome 👍
these tend to bleed excese fuel pressure into the oil sump. the oil will smell like petrol and be diluted. so often needs changing at the same time
Experience v manufacturers’ test plans. I know where I would place my money! 😁

What are you using to run the PICO scope, what model is that?
You increased the value of the car by about 20,000 driving around with all the diagnostic gear in it 😂
Now my e-tron is out of warranty if it developed a fault the dealer is the last place it would go!!!
