Mercedes Sprinter P010106 Intake Air System & P246309 Diesel Particulate Filter P246300 

The garage says we don't have a smoke machine, really means we don't want to get involved with that because we only want the handy quick service jobs

standard broken bolt no.4 cylinder exhaust manifold... blowing aswell ... cheers Jimmy

Right tool for the job saves money and time and pays for itself👍👍👍

JIMMY, you've saved me £1,000s' of pounds'... working on my son's Vivaro!! THANKS!!!!!!!!

That has thrown me off before, replaced the MAF sensor but on the snap on scanner had to "reset lambda values" before the code would clear. Even the component replacement resets wouldn't do it. After clearing the MAF code it started doing its own driven regen by itself within about 10 mins of driving 👍👍 happy days

Excellent work. Much appreciated.

Always the ever since, crazy for garages not to have a smoke machine now day's 😮😮

Sprinters often leak from inlet manifold and smoke machine doesnt have enough pressure you need special pressure testing gear to put compressed air in it.

Cheers Jimmy. Garages? You could make a whole new series of videos about them.

Thinking and making designes. Thats a problem in theys days. No tools no thinking no problem, life easy 😊

"To be sure to be sure" you're the bees knees!!

A smoke machine would be a good buy if you did not use it in work you could have a we disco in the house with it at the weekend.

I think a broken bolt in manifold is least of that vans problems

I'm cheap I just use what I have a tire valve / spare tire as the compressor and some soapy water pressure rise to about 10 to 15 psi and go bubble hunting

Haha the last place I worked didn't even have a scan tool 😅

No reason for a garage not to have a smoke machine, even i have one as a diy mechanic. Autool SDT-202 £100

👍

good evening ..

She'd have been cheaper/more efficient buying a smoke machine herself.

merc had a broken exh manifold bolt .

Polish that van T.M.

I'm not impressed with smoke machines, one of my mechanic mates has one. He was unable to find an leak, I used my pressure tester on the intake and it found it immediately. Those sprinters suffer with intake manifolds splitting, with the oil you have down the n/s, it's either the manifold or throttle valve seals leaking. I'm a mobile Mercedes specialist, worked for merc for 15years before going on my own.
