I agree, they have called you out to diagnose & fix the issues that their previous mechanic has failed to do on multiple occasions but then they won't let you do what's required to fix it. But it also makes you question if what they telling you about the previous mechanics is true. Maybe have a set fee for a call out & diagnostics without performing any mechanical work to fix said issues.
Hi, nice job. Unfortunately many people do not realize everything that is related to the DPF system. As for the misconfiguration of the hoses that you repaired, it's incredible that no one has seen it before. Thank you for this interesting video.
I can’t understand someone paying tens of thousands for a car and then let it go to pieces? My car is 12 years old now with 230,000 miles on it and it’s still running like a dream. But I maintain it myself as I’m fairly competent as a diy mechanic, no small thanks to videos from Jimmy mind! The trouble with that kind of car owner is that when the temporary fix fails, they’ll bad mouth Jimmy to the next mechanic who they ask to fix their car on the cheap without doing a proper repair. Fair play to your patience Jimmy. I’d have wished her the best of luck and walked away.
My guess is that the boyfriend after several forced regens of the DPF gave up, called you in to fix the problem but didn't want to pay 😢 My guess nothing will be done about the glowplugs or the broken pipe untill the car breaks down. Great bodge with the adblue filler. 👍
So annoying when they don’t want you to do the work needed - but you may have dodged a bullet as those glowplugs as you know will be a pain to remove , found with that brake pressure sensor fault , her stop start function is probably not working - if the warning light comes up on dash, great video again as always 👍👍
Thanks for the vidéo. On bmw engines you have to replace the full glow plug systèm (relay, glow plugs) because it s necessary for the régénération (spécific for bmw). Without, the dpf won't régénérate correctly
Not an ideal situation when they wont let you carry out the works required. But it also makes you question if what they told you about the previous mechanics, when they asking you to do bodges & not whats actually required to fix things.
Some people who just can’t help you got your tools out why don’t people listen to good advice and get the job done I suffer with idiots all day like you do. Well done buddy are you shouldn’t have to board anything for the job worth doing it’s worth doing right 👍👍🍺🍺⭐️⭐️👏👏👏
These one pipe sensors use a comparison between barometric pressure ie atmospheric pressure and exhaust gas pressure to calculate dpf soot content and how successful dpf regeneration has been common fault on vag cars changed a fair few in my time
It is a common problem with these sensors. It might be a cause of dpf blockage or too frequent regeneration (found it on couple bmw). Excuse my poor English, it's not my native language.
Any of you guys know why my differential pressure sensor would be reading -47 psi. When I’m pulling my trailer at 3.5 tonne it goes to -44 psi. It has just come back from the garage and they did a forced regeneration. Charged me £180. My regent is happening every 12 miles and nothing has changed I really feel cheated. Checked the EGR valve my self with my code reader and it reads actual and commanded exactly the same. I have also smoke tested the intake and no leaks. I am worried to take it to another garage who don’t understand what they are doing id rather have a go myself. I have no codes showing. Thanks guys and girls. Ps it’s a Isuzu D max 2014
well done jimmy, i think her boyfriend must be incompetent the codes were there to see the problems? i have a feeling it will be back with you in a few weeks because none of the repairs will be completed!
After 4 unsuccessful regeneration, I would start the job with an oil change. Guess who is going to be blamed and who is going to receive a bad review if anything happens with the engine. I would avoid customers like this one, and it would be the last job for them. It's just my opinion, I,m doing same type of job. Good luck!
Not really getting why they didn't get you to do the lot , must have cost them more with the previous attempts . Interesting , watched a few of yours now , subscribed 👍
Not letting someone to fix the issues that are causing the problem is stupid. It goes to show if you don't keep on top of maintenance then you'll expect to pay more when a problem persists without fixing it way beforehand...
First thing I thought before you even poked it was "does this yoke even have an air filter??" I'd be walking away from muppetry like this Jimmy tbh. If they whinge about getting a proper air-hose repair, they'll whinge about paying for any & all repairs no matter what you do. "Bye Now...Go back to the usual place... " "He can do everything except the DPF.." well he couldn't do a bloomin air-box, so yeah, roish...
Looking at the dirt and lack of maintenance in the engine compartment I don't think this car has been looked after. You try to help customer's like this and they don't trust you.
Please come and fix it because the last garage could not but only do part of the fix because the old garage can do the rest, even though ai just said they cant fix it. Makes no sense. Like the old guy last week rang me to say he has lost my phone number.
Some people are really stupid. She’s wasted time & money with a mechanic who can even see a broken air pipe. Then she doesn’t want you to do the job properly 🙄
Why bring car for you to fix then say u can't do the repairs people always amazes me people don't want to fix there cars but waste money on other non essential stuff when there cars get them to work or gets them places
Yeh if you dont want a mechanic to do the repairs, dont call them to come look at your car. So she wants the ‘mechanic’ who has tried previously numerous times to fix the car and he is clearly clueless and out his depth. I wouldnt even of told the customer what the problem was unless they let me do it. Time waster.
I understand you were at the call and you need to be paid, and the customer is always right 😂🙄 But taking it back to the garage that couldn’t fix it in the first place is typical female logic.
