I've literally just fixed my Citroen Berlingo 1.6HDi using the same approach but with Mannol DPF cleaner. I could not get the O2 sensor off with just the spanner so I ordered a 90mm 22mm long reach socket that has a gap cut into one side so that you can fit the O2 sensor wiring through in order to loosen the nut. I used a breaker bar on the socket as it was very tight. I did not even use the whole 500ml can. I let the car idle for a while then took it for an 18 mile drive up and down the motorway. The DPF warning light as well as the EML came on one more time to put the car in limp mode but I pulled over into the hard shoulder and cleared the fault code to take back out of limp mode and went back to the motorway driving. You can easily clear the error code causing limp mode with just a cheap code reader off Ebay. The port to connect your code reader can be found inside the glovebox or around the steering column if you are in Europe. I hope this is useful info as it really can be done and it's not complicated.
you didn't clean the EGR dude...if anything you dissolved crap and sent into the engine...it takes a LOT of work to clean the EGR valve + intake + pipes...and that you certainly didn't do...
I tried Wynns Stop Smoke and before using it I warmed up the bottle and made sure my engine was warm before throwing it in. It worked brilliantly for my old car and no smoke came out of the tailpipe no more. Early detection also helped. Another thing is my car felt smoother on the road. What a fantastic product.
This is a downstairs window easier to access. My bedroom window is not closing because the metal strip under the handle is catching on the window frame . Have to lift handle up to fully close . it didnt show you doing the aligning of hinges . No companies seem to want to do these little jobs
Hello, I have a question. I just tried to fix my airco in my Kia Picanto 2012 with one of those simple kits with a can of refrigerant, and a hose with a gauge. (mine did not come with a temperature setting). My airco had just gradually become less cold over the years and now it had completely stopped working. I was hoping for a quick fix for now, but it didn't work out so far. When I connected the kit with the gauge to the low pressure side, it showed no pressure at all. Then I filled it untill it showed 60 PSI, with the engine and airco on. (was aiming for 50 but gone a bit too far). After that I drove around the block and when I drove away, cold air was coming out of the vents, and I thought it was a succes! but.. this only lasted for a very short time, a minute or so. (that doesn't sound too good, right) So now the airco still doesn't get cold. Now, when I check the pressure on the low pressure side, the gauge shows 60 PSI, engine and airco on, or off, there is no difference. Also, the pipes don't feel cold at all. Since it is also showing 60 PSI with the airco and engine off, I'm thinking... maybe there is still not enough pressure, because with the airco off, the pressure should rise far into the red zone... (like 100 PSI) if i'm right? Do you think it's worth it to try and get another can of refrigerant, to build up the pressure and see if the airco will actually activate? (I can't seem to spot any compressor pulley turning on and off when I turn on and off the airco, everything seems to be turning always, even with the AC button off. But the fan on the front of the car does turn on and off with the AC button.) (one more thing. I was too quick to do it, and kind of forgot about the temperature thing. I think it was about 68 degrees fahrenheit here when I filled it.... So according to the temperature/PSI charts, according to that I should have filled it to about max 35 PSI... and I filled it to 60 PSI.... So Im kind of worried that I have destroyed my AC system. But, since it's also showing 60 PSI with the engine and airco off... I doubt this, and start thinking the pressure is actually too low? I hoping you could shed some light on this!
Love it. Everyone knows that stripping paint is a slow process job, thank you for sharing . I think it’s so so worth it. I only have stripped back our staircase handle…. And boy that was 20 years ago 😅. We stained it and brought the wood back to life. Was only done once and looks great. I was looking into the skirting boards lately…. Tired of the white painted ones, hate it. 😅 I have a question… Would it look better to have doors and door frames stripped too? Such a looooooonnnng job 😮😅. Big house with sooooo many door frames. 😂
