Cars Programmed To Have Fault At Pre Set Mileage P1445 FAP/DPF Needs To Be Replaced. But Does it? 

But you need to buy an EV and eat the bugs!

History repeating. A similar thing happened in the late 70s. When O2 Sensors and Catalytic Converters first appeared, the recommended replacement interval was 30,000 miles. It was several years before things changed.

I know people removing their DPF on their car to get more power lol. I wonder if they still get this message.

@@AndrewTSq problem is it's not legal :/

​@@WillMorgan89 Yes, you need to put it back before MOT. I guess problem is that the MOT is very expensive, ive seen prices range from $300 (aftermarket non brand) to $1800 (Audi original), and then you need someone to replace it for you, so labor is probably $5-600 atleast. So replacing a DPF on a car that is worth maybe $2500 does not seem that feasable option.

Majority of mechanics are, customers however are dumb af and reject repairs then blame the shop when that repair comes a knockin.

Fuck them! Expose them all ! Spread far and wide!!!!!!

@@wolfe1970 Some people can see and hear sincerity and discern it over fakes with great accuracy. Have you ever considered the probabilities for the two options and then run your intuitive BS detector on both, to answer your rhetorical question that's how you know. My BS detector didn't see any anomoly there.

@@wolfe1970 Well because the whole internet is filled with this P error code. You can't created error codes, the ECU is smarter than that. Maybe you can fool it but after a restart of the car, the ECU checks again as sees that everything is fine. So conclusion: this error is real! We have had it on our Citroen, just refill the fluid, tell the ECU that with a OBD reader, reset DPF and that's it. You won't believe it? No problem, if you have a citroen/peugeot, you will get this error anyways ;-)

haha

yup .. this kind of stuff is being done by every big company and dumb people keep falling for it. NEER buy french cars .. i don't even understand why anyone would want a french car, they're very unreliable. i had citroen van .. only problems. my clutch pedal broke in half, because someone thought its a good idea to make it out of PLASTIC. next thing the gear stick fell off the dash (it was one of those small gear sticks that is next to steering wheel)

Good job but he should have explained briefly what DPF is first so that novice like me can understand without searching.

Well, at least the car can still be operated when the warning sign in that car comes up. Some car manufactures seem to have created a problem of the car failing to start intentionally, a serious problem that may cause someone to miss an important appointment or to be stranded in the middle of nowhere at any time. Not even a jumpstart battery can help. Only a tow truck can help if you don't know how to fix the problem yourself. Here is one example: Google: Nissan Sentra Cars Recalled For Faulty Brake Light Switches The stop lamp switch on some 2016-2019 Sentra vehicles may become contaminated with silicon off-gassing from silicon-based grease used in surrounding components in close proximity. Oxidation may occur at the switch contact surface due to electric arcing, resulting in silicon dioxide build-up When the brake light switch (also called brake pedal switch) stops working, the car does not allow the brake to be pressed down for starting the car, so the car won't start even though the battery is fine. The grease in the brake light switch is absolutely not necessary because the copper contacts are not constantly in friction but only from time to time and the friction is not high enough to wear out the contacts within the lifespan of any vehicle. Moreover, that problem was found to have existed as early as 2004. So for the 2016-2019 models to have the same problem that can be eliminated just by not putting grease on the contacts, it seems the problem was intentionally created or at least intentionally ignored by the manufacturer. In fact the ungreased sliding contacts should have better electrical contact than the greased ones because the occasional sliding contact can polish the contacting surfaces to keep them oxidation free. I was fortunate that my Nissan Sentra 2007 failed to start while it was parking in the garage of my home, so I could check out some DIY RU-vid videos and have problematic grease in the switch removed. Video: Nissan brake pedal switch replacement (not starting fix But the problem did not just stopped there. Seems like my car was programmed not to be able to start for about 24 hours after the brake light switch was removed and put back on unless the program is overridden because I wasn't able to start my car right after the grease-free switch was put back on. When a tow truck came to my home the next day to tow it to the dealership, I was surprised that the tow truck guy could start my car right away and said there was nothing wrong with my car. Since the problematic grease in the brake light switch was removed about a year ago, the fail-to-start problem has never occurred again. Even if I am going to buy a new brake light switch, I'm going to remove the problematic grease before installing it to avoid having the same problem again. Note: The above is my personal experience only. It should not be construed as my advice on how to solve problems in your vehicle.

@@simon6071 He's put out so many of these "fix it" videos I doubt he's got time to do that for every video. I'm pretty sure he has a dedicated video on DPFs though. Keep watching, I've learnt a hell of a lot from Jimmy.

It’s nothing new, Machinery Dealers have been doing this for years. Once had a situation where we were ‘told’ from a well known Plant Brand that we weren’t spending enough money with them every month so they were no longer going to give us any service information about their products that we sometimes needed. We sold 5 machines and replaced them with a foreign competitors equipment and stopped any of our staff Hiring in their Plant on our jobs. We didn’t even get a phone call off them.

All that stuff can be cracked. I have SDD - the Jaguar/Land Rover diagnostics software, even with a changing passcode that needs to be used on every session, I'm still able to use it with a passcode generator.

@@simono.d9469 how do you know there is something seriously wrong with a VW? The dash isn't lit up like a Christmas tree!

How is this a con? DPF has 13 mbar at idle nd 160 mbar at 3000 rpm. And a clean DPF should have up to 10 at idle and up to 80 at 3000. And car says DPF needs to be replaced (replaced by a cleaned one or a new one).

Then you should be ashamed of your self

Along with sealed for life auto gearbox and long life oil change intervals

This type of corporate behaviour is worse than the emissions cheating scandal and should be reported to the authorities for action (which should require all affected cars to be repaired free of charge by the manufacturers). You appear to be in a prime position to blow the whistle and provide the evidence to the regulators. I suggest this could be done confidentially so as not to affect any ongoing obligations and benefits eg. pension, which you may have.

​@@roybatty2030nothing would come out of this, the manufacturer is gonna bounce the ball back just by saying it's a mandatory maintenance type of thing to ensure that it is working correctly because they care for environment blah blah blah

Nice story. Did you make it up?

Where's your evidence this is happening?

​@@byteme9718where is your evidence its not

@@BlankForAReason It's not possible to prove a negative, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. I've discussed this with the channel owner and suggested that if he has proof, then he should approach lawyers who will make him rich. I doubt whether he has because his evidence is anecdotal. I do similar work and when I see repeated failures put it down to substandard components or poor design. Peugeot/Citroen have massive problems with Adblue tanks not holding pressure, or pump failure and ithe Adblue injector leaking which blocks the SEC cat. That's not pre-planned obsolescence, just crap parts fitted year back that are failing well beyond they expected life span. Volvo are also having the same problem with the injector leaking but it's much rarer with other vehicles. Land Rover products are just crap in general and use the worst 2.0 diesel engine that's used across the entire range but again when they fail, its poor design. Negligence rather than obsolescence. The end result is the same, expensive repairs are needed but there's no need to invent conspiracy theories. If there are lines of code buried in the software, someone would have found them. Not with the equipment shown, or by anyone in a garage environment, but by a real nerd able to access the source code and understand it. Where you will increasingly find vehicles having to be scrapped long before time, is with EVs where high component costs will render repairs unviable. I've already seen several seen several Renault Zoes that have had £7000 repair bills that are more than the cars are worth, Those owner's had usable, tradeable cars one day that became worth nothing instantly.

Planned obsolescence is completely legal, and most of the semi-official monopolies/guilds/cartels are doing it for like hundred years now, as industry standard. Things are made to break down in the shortest term possible. People who don't do that just can't compete cause if you make product that lasts 2 years you make 5 times as much money as if you make product that lasts say 10 years. So you can only get good stuff as a custom order by paying many times the market price, if its option at all. Same thing is happening in medicine, and its even worse, where they no longer cure disease, but offer treatments that need to continue. They no longer sell solutions, they sell subscriptions of addictive substances, or upsell you with side effects of one medicine needing another medicine. You gotta do your research or doctor will gladly wreck your kidneys to sell more dialysis machines or whatever the fuck other "treatment" loops are out there. Can't just trust your doctor to tell you what to do, you gotta do your own research so you don't get scammed and your health ruined.

The broken boost pipe is a common problem. It will screw up the MAF air flow reading which causes an abnormally high (calculated) soot content in the DPF, even if the pressure isn't excessive, as well as a low boost fault, and that will inhibit regeneration. The bigger problem with the 1.6D (16 valve) engines is that the injector oil seals will start leaking over time, causing the engine to burn oil, and this will contaminate the DPF. The injectors as well as the seals *are* a service item.

I had a Volvo V50 for just over 7 years I loved the car but over that time I spent a lot of money on it for various things , I had it on diagnostic machines quite a few times fitted sensors , E G R , even though it had been serviced every year, I'd just got it through its M O T cost me over £300 for brakes and stuff , I even put 2 new tyres on it , thinking it was going to last me a few more years , a couple of weeks after my m o t , I got an engine dash light on saying reduced engine power , then it cut out , put it in a garage another diagnostic check, only to be told it looks like injectors, but not sure will cost about £1000 , by this time I'd had enough, if the car hadn't have had the problem it was worth £ 2000 , I'd payed £6000, I ended up getting £500 , I've since bought something less complicated, a 1.2 petrol Vauxhall .

I heard that Volvo knew about this problem , but rather than address it , they incorporated the fault / problem in on a service schedule at a latter date , this is fraudulent in my opinion, what do you think 🤔

I had a V50 petrol, it loved to fail often. It was constantly in-n-out of repair shop. It was 15y old at the time, but gee. Suspension and lambda sensors was a recurring theme. When everything was in order, the car was quite good. A bit slow acceleration, but good. Very good on snow.

Some people's comments are saying this isn't true but it clearly is

As Scotty Kilmer would say "Planned Obsolescence"

interesting - I'm developing an overland vehicle with an eye to aerodynamics and was keen to fit cameras - but so far I've not heard good things.. Maybe I'll downsize the mirrors and make cowlings

Stop lying, automatic breaking doesn't use camera it uses radar it's impossible for it to pickup shadows... You get visual and sound warning if something is close it's super useful especially for trucks. Automatic breaking is last resort, it will only work if it knows your going to hit something and systems like that were perfected over years and work very well and save many people. No your truck doesn't stop if mirror camera fails, your mirror camera is placed in such way it will not rain on it and is illegal in most places so it's only addition or tech demo. While steering all options from one screen is problematic if it fails it's not needed for driving, car will work with it broken (new ram pickups have that issue). Most of the tech you mentioned is not as new as you think and almost never fails, points of failure remain the same as in old cars, low quality connectors in places where elements can reach them, wear and tear of unserviced cars, electrical gremlins that can happen even on old cars and obviously bad design.

Thirdly the cameras are not placed where spray cannot affect them . That is an impossible task , otherwise they would have figured out a way of removing the wipers by now . Anyone with a reversing camera will tell you the same thing . I suggest you actually read a post , and understand what has been written , before picking up on something , and making yourself look like a complete idiot .

He said he was waiting for the pressure to drop to 40 or 50. Skim through the video to find that point. 8:14 he says it 8:14.

This mechanic is an idiot and probably killed this engine for good. This car has the eolys catalytic additive (tank), it is a special case and the dpf really must be removed and emptied (of the deposits) or changed because the additive material forms deposits which accumulate in the dpf and can not be burned out. It helps to burn the carbon deposits, but will itself accumulate. There is no way around it and it will destroy the engine otherwise, thus there is a hard limit and it is supposed to be taken care in the service program (which this car did not follow). Some transition period engines used it as an afterthought and it can not be cleaned without removing the dpf and it will fill the dpf with the catalyst powder and clog it. The cavities physically fill up and eventually there will be no surface area left. Obviously it will not be full at this point yet, but will die later now that it was permanently reset. The back pressure and regeneration attempts the car will do will dilute the oil and if nothing else, will hydrolock the engine. These engine with eolys have practically disappeared because they all failed because of idiots like this. Note that not all the same cars and engines have this, but it made it possible to approve the car to higher emission class when it was not legally required yet, but some cities etc. did mandate it so some have some do not. Note that this is different from adblue etc. or regular dpf regeneration.
