For as long as I live, when I think of Citroen C6, I will think of your videos. Thank you for your service..

@GryphLane 7 месяцев назад

I've got to say, that's cracking customer service to replace a diagnostics unit that wasn't even broken. Fair play to TopDon 👍🏻

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

To be fair, the first unit they sent didn't work with this car (and it's what blew the fuse). The second (current) one (different model) would have worked perfectly from the off, but I didn't know the fuse was blown. But yes, they're on the ball and keen to sort any issues.

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

Well, the first one was, but yes I see what you mean. They have very good customer service, so far!

I bought the 45 quid Topdon Topscan bluetooth reader, bloody fantastic thing!! Forced DPF regen and all learning values reset on a Focus was the first test and it worked perfectly. All the live data and system active tests diagnoised ABS faults and even does Airbag diagnostics. Great bit of kit and good value, uses an app on your phone or Tablet so cheaper to buy for the DIYer.

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

I've got one of those to try, as I have some on-road tests to do and I think it will help.

You can usually perform most of the oem functions excluding some times programming. The layout of the UI is usually much better on 3rd party scan tools than on lexia though. Definitely much better than the ford/mazda OEM system.

Yep, it doesn't want to melt or set fire to the tarmac under the car. Obviously this isn't tarmac, but the car doesn't know that. Not as much of a problem as a petrol catalyst, but they can get pretty hot!

@khalidacosta7133 7 месяцев назад

When you think about it, that is absolutely genius of the engineers to raise the car up when performing a forced regen! It's because the DPF is about to get VERY hot and potentially burn anything under it. Higher it is, less issues! Could you not cancel the forced regen!? Bonnet should also be open when performing forced regen....

I used to be on the peugeot owners forum and have the "planet system" got a lot of people out of jams about 10 yrs ago. I still have it and the old laptop. Maybe you can ask on there - plenty of knowledgeable chaps that will help you out, just a thought?

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

Plenty of knowledge on FCF and the C6owners forum to be fair, it's just that for some reason the C6 refuses to let me reset it!

@aot9708 7 месяцев назад

I got to give it to you. Anyone else would have binned this car by now 😂

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

But again, to be fair the blown fuse was due to something I plugged into it. It did what it was supposed to do. There are some dodgy fault codes, though, yes.

@eddiecleaver5376 7 месяцев назад

Good to see TopDon working now fuse has been replaced, thanks for the video. Wonder if you’ll be bringing C6 to Rustival?!

@TK42138 7 месяцев назад

I'm guessing it went into service high setting while doing forced regen to allow more cooling air under the car and thus through the engine compartment.

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

Possibly!

@exgtt2061 7 месяцев назад

Suspension lift on forced regen is to reduce fire hazard under car. Straw etc will burn 🔥

@MrLekatt 7 месяцев назад

I cleaned my DPF and had to use the Repair function in my Lexia to tell it the DPF was changed (to a new... but It wasn't actually...)

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

That's what I eventually ended up trying, only it wouldn't work.

@MrLekatt 7 месяцев назад

@@UPnDOWN ...🤔 I have a feeling that the Lexia works (in mysterious ways? = without telling you) only if certain operations are done in the right order. Similar to software installations on a computer that doesn't work - pull the plug and restart the system. I use the Lexia on a 'trial-and-horror' basis (since I don't have a manual).

@yason8582 7 месяцев назад

Not necessarily surprised if Lexia didn't show all those codes. I think Citroen cars were transitioning to Diagbox during the late 00's and they might have a bunch of stuff that Lexia program can no longer recognize.

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

I did mean Diagbox, I keep referring to it as Lexia (it's on the same programme).

The oil leak and that bearing sound you mention is making me think... did you do the forced regen with the engine coolant temp at atleast 75°C? 🤔

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

It would have reached 75c pretty quickly, even if it didn't start at 75c!

@johnmoruzzi7236 7 месяцев назад

Ooh… has the DPF regen thrashing found a new weak point in the car and provoked a failure of something ? Hope you fix it before Rustival !

@dragonofyorha 7 месяцев назад

Goodday, need some advice if anyone’s got an idea. I replaced my valve block (i have the 2.7 hdi, 2006) before and after replacing an issue remains where in gear (both D and R) the engine’s idle rpm drops significantly letting off a huge vibration throughout the car and sometimes stalling. I did notice (through diagbox) that in the BSI a code was logged for “brake contact signal” and it remained after deletion. I somehow suspect the transmission doesn’t know I have the brake depressed causing the TC to provide more torque to attempt to power through the brakes. Anyone got advice or a similar issue?

@shaunlilley 7 месяцев назад

Your torque converter could be faulty or failing.

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

I think you've got a dicky torque converter like me.

@MrLekatt 7 месяцев назад

I'm not completely sure about the 'brake depressed...' expression in your post (still under some power I suppose). Is that the same as 'left braking' when trying to make the back end step out under power? If soo, I've tried it on my C4 1.6 Hdi and the ECU doesn't like it and all sorts of error messages turns up on the dash but goes away if I cool things down and drive 'normally'. English is not my native toung, Swedish is 😉

@@UPnDOWN Thank you very much for responding. Yes, it was just me. BTW, when you sent me my Up'n'DOWN car sticker (which has improved my fuel economy by 15%), NZ Customs opened the envelope, evidently regarding something so completely ordinary as Deeply Suspicious.

@@UPnDOWN allow me to elaborate, as somebody who deals in diagnostics, you have openly admitted to being a fuse issue, but, you clearly got in touch with Topdon, who sent you a replacement. Did you tell them your diagbox/e lexia cable didn’t work? Probably not, you immediately blamed the tools! And that’s the point. Nice eyebrows anyway!

@UPnDOWN 7 месяцев назад

But the first TopDon unit *did* fail to work properly on this car (but not others, as I stated in those videos), and that's what blew the fuse. It wasn't the same product, whereas the (current) ArtiDiag Pro that they sent me to try as an alternative does now work once I'd tried Lexia/Diagbox and found that it too, no longer worked. I kept TopDon informed of everything all the way through, including the bits you haven't seen on here. Forgive me for still struggling to see your point, but feel free to keep on as it's good for my algorithm!
