Range Rover 3.0 DPF Cleaning Goes Wrong! 😮 

In true Land Rover fashion you fix one thing and another goes😂😂 Luckily Jimmy was on the case sorted next day if it was at a Dealership it could easily have been a few weeks later job

Exhaust gas recirculation is the worst thing to happen to the combustion engine

Craptastic plastic. Like those other “ high end” quality scams, BMWs. Great from behind the wheel but not under the bonnet

Land Rover recovery they should be called. Joys of old range rovers, fix one thing and punishes you with another 🤦🏻‍♂️ well done Jimmy

Remember when you'd buy a diesel for reliability and longevity. Today they are a pile of junk

Jimmy after watching your videos i would never buy a range rover good job mate 👍👍

Early 3.0 tdv6 end up with alot of oil in the intake, Had a couple try and run on 😳 be careful revving them up. They revised the oil return on the o/s secondary turbo, can retrofit it as a kit. Also if you watch live data on the later ones they activate the turbo (via tsov) if you leave it idling for 3 minutes to help clear oil build up! Remove the compressor switch over valve csov and drain the intercooler get a fair bit out. Work at a Land rover specialist for my sins

Could of been worse.....it could have still had Lucas, Prince of Darkness electrics ⚡💥 fitted

That was lucky and unlucky at the same time. Unlucky for Jimmy that it developed a major coolant leak whilst he was working on the throttle body fault. Lucky for the customer that it didn't happen whilst belting down the motorway, with the possibility of over-heating complications.

Plastic car components, the nightmare is real, they are the very cheapest and ugly end of vehicle manufacturing.

Cheers jimmy, these Engines remind me of Cheap Condensing Gas Boilers, always leaking and full of Chinesium Plastic.

Great cars to drive, but these are all Money Pits

It wasn’t like that when it came in 😂

If cars just had a simple turbo diesel engine they would run indefinitely, all this shit fitted to them now puts them in the scrapyard in 10 years, good for the environment?

See if you select vehicle type manually then select Range Rover 3.0 year 2013 it gives you reading on differential pressure on live data

Plastic parts on an expensive car!!! No wonder they are unreliable. Note. This mechanic repaired these faults basically one handed,as he was holding a camera. Impressed,subscribed.

Once again, thanks for sharing Jimmy.

Customer should thank his lucky stars it happened where and when it did.....imagin it happened on way home and cooked the engine.....great job 👌

'Range Rover' and 'goes wrong' - four words always so close together.

Ah the good old Range Rover these will help you get the kids through university jimmy😊, even mechanics I know who have Range Rover themselves say they spend a lot of time fixing their own cars, I asked one why did he own one he said his wife loves travelling it it especially when towing the caravan

Better going there if it went on road engine would have been ruined

The original Range Rover had two main criteria.... Simplicity and Functionality.... FFS.

Another great video. Don’t know why people let their car fuel tank run almost empty?

wow that was a difficult one jimmy but as normal you got it sorted

A Range Rover, getting taken home on the back of a wagon!! Thats a sight you don't see every day 🤔 Ah, wait! It "IS" a sight you see every day. I know because I'm stupid. Sold my E350 Mercedes wagon for an unreliable piece of 💩💩 made by "That'll Do" in Solihull 🙈

You really do know your mechanics. Fascinating to watch.

Having fun with my SDV6 at mo, RESTRICTED PERFORMANCE 😂 only code I get is P006A-00 pending MAP, mass or volume air flow correlation. Issues being, some one didn't put a MAF back in carefully & the Oring to air filter was trapped badly, also the air bix housing joint going into the throttle body unit was crooked, part of the moulding was hitting a pipe forcing it out, so removed a plastic moulded fin that was catching the pipe, then the MAP sensor was some what grubby so tried cleaning it but still get the same code, whether under throttle, cruising downhill or just slowly driving. Sometimes it's RP every 2miles, sometimes not for 20-50miles. Thinking of changing the MAP sensor or the whole throttle body. Replaced the Oring in the MAF & cleaned those aswell. Bit of head scratching at mo. 😁

Range Rover Classic 300TDI Softdash 1994.- None of this nonsense. Oh go on, rabbit on about rust - no bother for me.

Cracking vid. As said a sickener that thing split,but couldn't have happened at a better time.

Bloody lucky that housing let go with the car being worked on, stationary, and not on the motorway and cooked the engine.

I’m convinced if folk just drove modern diesels a bit harder they would keep this emissions pish cleaner and working. Could be wrong

After doing the PDF cleaning and car develops coolant leak. Who is it down to, you or the customer? If customer dispute, can always show the video.

Really common housing to fail, bad luck. 👍🏼

Had the same thing happen to me on a xf jag while looking for a mysterious boost leak. When I pulled the throttle valve away from the inlet stubs to get to the water housing it broke & I reckon it always had a crack in it that was blowing onto that water housing and cooked it.

Brother, do you see all the metal shavings in the pipes? The car probably won't last long with the amount of metal shavings visible.

06:00 or... just scan the barcode from the screen (works perfectly) it'll take you right to various sites that sell it.

Thats Landrover Laughing at you Its like hahahahah you thought you fixed me you silly guy I will just break something else Classic Landrover

Ahhhh the fabulous overrated Range Rover, how much was this piece of crap again when it was new?

Joy of mobile mechanics ...........I couldn't go back to roadside repairs anymore to soft ! Good vid ☕after the cold

Great job! Wish I lived close to you - I have a CMax with DPF partly clogged and I don't trust the DPF cleaning shops here. Ford doesn't clean and says "install a new DPF".

Had the same thing happen on a Jaguar XF! 😩🥵 it’s the coolant water outlet pipe it was a pain I the ass! They leak for a Little while then after reving a few times at standstill the pressure splits it in half! 🙄

What can cause a negative reading of -10 mbar on tick over on dpf sensor ?

Fortunately I live in a part of the world where your welcome to delete all that shit!

Glad you had an understanding customer as it can be a nightmare when you come across multiple faults, fixing the worst one only makes the next fault move up to be the worst fault!

Brilliant diagnosis but what a absolute peice of junk 😢

12:45 parts like that are usually "ultrasonic welded"....

Iv done all that with a 3.0 Discovery ended up blanking the EGRs - now have a 3.0 X5 that also suffers from typical diesel injector blockage - no warning car just cuts out going along which is pretty dangerous the injectors not cheap job either - reliable diesels ?? Money pits

That engine needs a good power wash !

I think "dpf care" should be part of the theory test.

What a cheap looking piece of engine 😮

Nice one Jimmy.

Are you connected to Lion's Auto's in Kirkintilloch, Glasgow?

Look at that colour of that coolent. It hasn't been looked after

l'm not a mechanic but there seems to be a lot of plastic parts on these modern engines. Only had one fairly modern diesel vehicle (2001 Caddy Sdi) and it looked quite basic in comparison, had an EGR valve but no particle filter.

You certainly know your onions. Wish you worked in Lancashire. Very good clip and super informative.

In short, never buy a new car. What computerized bullsht..

Bravo once again Jimmy , a real mechanic at work. Braver man than most working on anything JLR worse cars ever made (from a mechanics point of view) in my opinion.

Any idea why that leak developed right at that time? Can't imagine that little bit of 3000rpm did it?

freaking plastic parts

Ive a vivaro 2.0l tdci camper and just had a dpf fitted after the old one blocked up up scotland due to a stupid machanic fitting a cheap £16 sensor and now 2 month on the engine management loghts come back on and the red stop light. I dont think the machanic who fitted the new dpf got rid of all the fault codes after fitting it as it was the same who fitted the £16 sensor ime gitted as not been able to go away for xmas. Any ideas what could be wrong would be helpful. Ohh and its now blowing white smoke out the exhaust and makes a sucking gurgling noise when i take the fuel cap of

Do you think it was the tap you gave the throttle body that damaged the housing underneath? Trying to figure out what caused it before I undertake this job, as I don’t want to have any further complications when I do it

My Xf did same thing 🥴

Fantastic work as usual

Good workmanship there. I bet that’s one happy customer. .

Do you have any live data difference pressure readings from a dynamic test, not a static? 6th gear and flat down from low revs to max? Before and after your cleaning process?

You cam hear the wine of the throttle body stuck open when you first starting messing on that engine

You’re a maestro 😎

when will somone make a reliable car instead of all the plastic crapy engine parts

Was there any bad language when she started making a mess ....

Good job mate he was lucky you turned up he probably would have broken down on the motorway lol

great vid again , what scanner would recommend as a good diy one ?

Totally my son has a 2014 diesal mokka his first car despite my advice,nowt but trouble in less than 8 mths limp mode most of the time

That coolant leak looked bad, imagine, just when you fixed it.

Excellent clip your a very clever guy.

i was regening my grandads dpf when this happend

Lots of negative comments on here. But how many miles has the vehicle covered.

Good work 👍

Yeah Ranger Rover...lol

Nice work very well done😊

you are a class act !

what diagnostic machine u using

I'd rather take my bike out the shed and ride it than buy a Range Rover.

Great video as usual 🤘😎🤘

The cars that just keep giving 😂

Land Rover absolutely crap....If you want a proper 4 wheel drive just buy a Landcruiser.

Never buy anything JLR. Theses Indian cars are a nightmare, not just one type/ model, they all are..

Why oh do people buy JLR crap. They are horrendous.

Typical JLR product. I was sent job details from JLR dealership (same group that had Volvo, where I worked), they were offering £36k basic, 4 day week and guaranteed £1k a month productivity bonus. You could double that offer and I still wouldn’t take it. My sanity is worth a ton more than £48k 😂

They really are made out of crap these Range Rovers !!

A JLR product in its natural habitat..... broken down on the side of the road

I have never had any problems with land rover except trying to get around them when they break down in front of me. I drive a Subaru.😂

I never get fed up with watching your vidios. I havnt worked on a landie since 2017 thank god.. I pity the poor owners.

This reminds me of an Australian friend's advice: "If you want to enjoy a trip to the Outback, take a Range-Rover. If you want to enjoy the trip back, take a Toyota." Or a Nissan.

MORAL TO THE STORY BUY A TOYOTA STAY AWAY FROM THOSE JUNK CARS ETC

Inputting DPF replacement without replacing the dpf created massive problems in the future and is just a lazy way to clear the fault code. Why not do a dynamic regeneration, and spray some crap directly into dpf, without the car (knowing about) regenerating anything? The diagnostic tool obviously shows you by remaining dpf volume that you didn’t clean anything from the dpf. So now the dpf is full and the car thinks it’s a brand new one. Now you need to actually replace the dpf in order to the actual values to match up with the computer. Congrats, you just created a multi-thousant £ problem.

Diesel is fuel from hell, buy gasolin cars.

Another shit box 😂

I'd never let a person touch my car if their hands look like that. Get some gloves...

Wow made the car WORSE than before the fix! 😂
