You appear to be one of the most genuine people in the car repair industry I've seen. Never change and your reputation will follow you Scottie, another great video
Basically, if you don't rip off the customer you wll get repeat business! Not rocket science guys. Love the videos buddy, keep on doing what you're doing.
Fascinating stuff Ryan.. I'm old school and was in the motor trade in the 1960'/70's before ECU's etc. I'm trying to catch up on modern vehicle diagnosis so I can have some sort of an idea what might go wrong in my vehicle .. To be frank, if you were down here in the South West, I wouldn't bother , I'd just call you. Brilliant mate.
About 18 months ago, a neighbour had a problem with the washer pump leaking profusely & was quoted £80+VAT (that she didn't have) by the dealer to replace it. I got a new pattern pump online for £15 & did the swap in about 30 minutes (had to pull the arch liner back quite a way to get access). When I took the old pump out, I repaired it using hot glue & put it in the new pump box for her to keep as a spare, just in case. The new pump worked perfectly for a few months until it started to have problems like the Polo. I told my neighbour to dig the old one out & I would refit it to use whilst I got a replacement for the faulty one. She couldn't remember where she had put it & hasn't mentioned it since, so I don't know if the pump rectified itself or she just puts up with it!
Great video, excellent fault finding, Have you ever worked on opel vivaro, starting and driving, no communication with engine ECU, but communication with ABS, SRS and all other systems?,
Hi. For future reference do you offer component repair by post? For example, the Mercedes OM642 are prone to turbo actuator failure, three broken wires on the circuit board that can be repaired by someone skilled. Mercedes fix is to fit new turbo and actuator. Is a repair like this something you would consider by post? Same with the glow plug module.
Thanks for the video bud. So basically pin one (short to ground) is hooked onto the negative of the bulb. And thw way you tested that was to connect the +ve side of the bulb , to the +ve ofthe battery.. This completes the circuit making it light up? Would it also work if you did it the opposite way. As the short to ground is acting as a +ve? So if you connected pin 1 to the +ve lead of the bulb. Then connecting to -ve of the battery, would that make it light up too.
Hi , Just started watching your channel fantastic use off the best way of tackling diagnostic jobs What was the box you used towards the end to set up the resistance like a variable resistor
Here's a question for you BMW X1 computer button not cycling through all the options on the dashboard. Believe it's a common problem any ideas? How much to fix it?
13:47 - That's a rubbish repair? You should have seen what was on my door loom hinge when the wires broke... household terminal block wrapped in sellotape. That's how you are meant to repair it! I took it out... cut ALL the wires at both ends and then replaced every single wire with Olflex cable, soldered and then adhesive shrink on top. I really don't get why some people cut corners.
