Anybody else missing jimmy like me? I hope he’s doing ok because he’s the main boss man on my RU-vid channel subscriptions out of anybody. I’m looking forward to see him again I can’t wait.
Not made anything new Jimmy. I hope you are OK pal. Always looked forward to hearing from you with a new video. Whatever is happening best wishes for the future. Hopefully hear from you soon.
I noticed that with my car, continuously regenned and the codes said the DPF was very heavily full. Even though I visually inspected it and flushed it with no driveability symptoms there would have been if it had been blocked. I narrowed it down to the differential pressure sensor. It was giving unplausible values, making the ECU think the DPF was more blocked than it really was, hence the attempts to regen. I wonder how many people have replaced a DPF unnecessarily because of a cheap sensor giving wrong values to the ECU.
To add I used jimmy's site for research because you have euro5 -6 standards far beyond what we have here in Australia that has cleared up all my thoughts heaven help all the technicians working on cars in this country when the new standards come they want have a clue
Thanks this is the one I have a 2017 dmax 3l and have been through all of this dealers refused to accept any thing to do with the dpf and had it fixed by a professional dpf cleaner now I'm 20000klm on and all is good it regens about 500 to 600klm and all is great all my learnings came from Jimmy 2 years of listening to his videos the cleaning company I used here in Australia is doing 3 Isuzu dmaxes 2017s a day with great success dealers here have no idea on them thanks Jimmy im using a CSulut scan tool on my dmax which works ok and the dpf pressure sensor is the exhaust pressure on that scan tool thanks for all the guidance over this time to understand regards Peter in Victoria Melbourne
Just wondering how much oil you removed, and also how on earth these manufacturers are aware of this issue and don't do anything to solve it. Reading the comments it sounds like it was double overfilled. Wow. With all that being said it's actually great the car shows you the level of the particles in the filter and the regen process.
Lots of diesel drivers are happy sitting at idle for half an hour to a hour waiting in the vehicle. Why do these people buy a diesel for fuel efficiency and then waste it doing nothing. Is beyond me
That X on the dipstick tells you it's time to change the oil because of fuel contamination. At least it is on the Mazdas. Pretty sure the car dumps any unburnt fuel into the engine oil if a DPF regen is done. Surprised the other mechanic didn't know that.
My L200 was regenning constantly. Boost leak on the intercooler to the intake throttle body had a small split. over fueling due to thinking it was getting more air than it was rolling coal and increasing the soot level quickly.
How to read the dipstick on diesel Isuzu D max and Mitsubishi Outlanders: the dipsticks have the (normal) full and low marks for the engine oil level., they also have an 'X' overfill mark. It is expected that these engines will add diesel to the engine oil thereby increasing the oil level above the normal full mark. During running and after any regen the oil level is expected to drop down to the correct level again. If it does not, either due to a fault or incomplete regens the oil level will increase slowly. The engines can be run with the oil level then over the 'full' mark but less that the X mark. If the level reaches the X mark the engine is deemed 'overfull' and the oil must be drained (it will start burning oil, clogging the DPF and in danger of diesel runaway). Also these vehicles calculate and record in the EMU the amount of fuel added to the oil. This has to be initialised to zero amount each oil change or the EMU will thow up an 'overfill oiil' code.
I have a problem with frequent regens on a Fuso 4p10.. DPF dash meter used to climb to 5 bars before regen. Now regens at 2 bars. Been having to change oil every 3-4 weeks from dilution. One code, an intermittent nox level upstream. Mpg is normal Dealer is useless! Please help 🙏
On the launch, you could see the ecm. There was 2, one gray and one green. So next time try and keep an eye out for and other one. Why there sometimes are 2, i dont know 😅
Hi Jimmy , I own a mercedes c220cdi 2013 with the EGR system is not accessible easily , have you ever had to clean the system without removal , if so what method should I use , I am considering using Yorkshire dpf centre for the work , thAnks for your advice .....
Just curious if you have ever done glow plugs and egr cleaning/blocking on 2010 Hyundai i30 1.6 CRDI 90hp experiencing isuses with long starts and engine feels great once started but not starting like previous times, engine has 360,000km and is sweet as a nut usually
Hie I got a p1447 and p1490 on my 2014 Citroen relay cleaned out the vapouriser but code won't go away if I clear the code when the engine is not running or when running it comes back on after some seconds and says dpf cleaning keep vehicle running any solutions to this problem?
hi jimmy or anyone who knows. is it ok to use launch UK dpf cleaner and flow restorer on a vehicle that has an eolys additive tank ? thank you in advance
The mechanic was a right dipstick! I think them Isuzu need their injectors recalibrating every second service, or something to stop too much oil dillusion
Please help 🙏 My Dmax is doing a regen every 60 miles. Cheap code reader has told me the dpf delta pressure is 47psi. Would that mean it's full to the brim with soot? Tia 👍
And if THE MECHANIC is putting NON DPF OIL which has a lot more soot content IT WILL clog ip the DPF now wont it. The oil is not DPF compatible. Need to check on these things. And if its doing DPF regens often the oil level WIL CLIMB UP DRASTICLY cause of extra fuel dumped for regen.
It can, you just need to enter the vehicle manually instead of relying on the autoscan function. Also, this is why REAL technicians have more then 1 scantool.
Hi Jimmy good videos just wanted to ask you where did you get that small piece that you push. Into the pressure sensor pipes where fluid goes in it looks like a metal piece I did look everywhere for that piece I can't find it anywhere
