Nationwide Garage company incorrectly diagnosed this Ford S Max 2.0 Tdci with an exhaust gas temperature sensor. multiple garage trips with no solution he decided to drive across the voluntary to me to get it resolved.
Great work Jimmy, excellent content and true life, bloody seem to really rust in more with c-max and connects more than transits. Keep up the fantastic job, eventually others will catch up, it does make me wonder how many car owners when other garages quote silly £€$ just write the vehicle off. Maybe some are more focused on EV and HEV and just not interested how some of these systems work, i love to see the logical process not only with diagnostics but what most dont even look at LIVE DATA (fault code clearing clowns) keep it up Jimmy
Issue here is 2 stools. This falls between them. Lads that are good at using the scanners don't want to use spanners..They're Scanner Guys... Lads that are good at spanners don't know how to use scanners - they're Spanner guys... So this ^ falls into a Grey Zone - you need someone who can use both a scanner & a spanner - and those are Hens Teeth. I know this as most of what I do is Hens Teeth stuff - I see how far people drive to get here - 5 hours is not uncommon - which suggests we're rare if they have nobody closer. . I do the same work you do, Jimmy, and I fix corrosion issues too. People are "amazed" we can fix stuff almost nobody else will touch - Spanners & Scanners with added welders = Ultimate Hens tooth. :-) We never advertise - our work all comes from other garages/word of mouth - I bet you are much the same. You're a Hens Tooth. So are we.
thanks for the new video. in Italy we have not mounted these fuel dispensers on the exhaust to raise the temperatures in the dpf and start cleaning. but everything happens with the sprays of the injectors in post combustion. the only problem is that part of the diesel injected into the combustion chamber goes ending up in the oil sump .. and contaminating the oil . we have more frequent oil changes .
Hi Nice info I have a 2020 transit 2l ad blue camper that i brought from auto trail England and imported it into New Zealand It now has 20000 km on the clock and from new have been having the spanner light coming on with the codes PO29D-85-68 PO2A5 85 68 PO2A9 9B 68 with are Injector leaking and Injector circuit range performance Ford NZ have looked at it and as i imported it myself they are no help Any idea which area to start looking in as the injectors have been replaced and checked and the PCM has been replace and coded by ford The wiring has no fault Any advise most welcome Thanks Wayne
hi jimmy would you recommend using something like cataclean on a regular bases to help safe guard possible dpf problems on a ford transit custom 2014 330 2.2cc or recommend another fuel additive
Hi Jimmy, great videos and lots of help. I have the 2.0l tdci s-max (200k miles) with a P244C (low temp). Temp sensors are grand, measure approx 200 to 300 running. I changed the Vaporizer and monitor the ON signal and temp using OBD2 reader. Temp reaches 400c max. Now, my question, 😅 the closed loop is approx 50% +/- 10% after active regen but, the open loop is 200% plus. Im taking the dpf off for a wynns off car wash this weekend. Will the open loop drop once i start driving it and see an active regen? Or do i need to reset all dpf values on Forscan? Again great vids and notice a lot of S maxs 🤔 Should have watched until the end. Still a great vid. 😅🤦
Jimmy great info about the open/closed loops..can the average distance between regens and miles since last regen give you any clues you have an emissions problem..
Hey Jimmy, do every really do many Kia's? I always see so many Ford's, Land Rover/Jaguars, Renault, Vauxhall and a few BMW and VAG cars, but never really noticed Kia or Hyundia being bad for dpf issues?
Mate has a 151 ford transit the engine packed up are they a trouble some van to go for was going to buy one myself but every one says stay away from them . Have you come across many fords with bad engines
i think the last place to take your car to is a big place like halford and places like that they just interested in kicking arse, much better to take it to someone who knows what they doing, like you
@@pammy5260 that’s funny I took it to its MOT in December where it passed straight away 🤣 DPF is hidden by an under tray and even if it wasn’t the mot man would be clueless because the DPF is still in place 🤙🏻
I'm struggling to work out why the vaporizer fuse keeps blowing on a 2015 fwd transit.. customer has had a new dpf and vaporizer and temp sensors before I got the van. Any ideas jimmy?
