EGR VALVE COMPLETELY BLOCKED - DAF LF PART #2
Today I returned to get the EGR job finished and we needed to get it cleaned and refit with new gaskets. Once refit we carried out an exhaust regen to remove any left over carbon in the exhaust system.

EGR VALVE COMPLETELY BLOCKED! - DAF LF PART #1
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.9 часов назад
I had previously taken a quick look at an EGR fault at one of my customers and found that the EGR valve was completely blocked! We needed to remove the EGR valve and other components and get them all cleaned. In this first part I get very wet while removing the EGR! #truck #trucking #hgv #mechanic #selfemployed #business #repair #work #milwaukee #milwaukeetools #soaking #wet #fypage #fypyoutube
MAN TRUCK HORSE BOX NONE STARTER
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.12 часов назад
Today I had a bit of different one, a horse box! Now I usually don't like working on horse box vehicles as accessibility is usually terrible, but this one wasn't so bad. The owner had broken down on the motorway when her vehicle lost all power and wouldn't start and she needed to be recovered back to her yard. #truck #trucking #hgv #mechanic #selfemployed #business #repair #work #fypage #fypyou...
MAIN DEALERS HAVE CRAZY PARTS PRICES!
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.16 часов назад
I'm sorry for having a bit of a moan but it really annoys me how crazy the parts prices are at the main dealers. These two EGR gaskets have a slightly different shape but are roughly the same size, so why is it that one costs only £21 while the other costs £93? I just don't understand. #truck #trucking #hgv #mechanic #selfemployed #business #repair #work #fypage #fypyoutube

This morning I got a phone call from my friend saying his car wouldn't start. I asked him to try a few things but nothing was working!
