The older alfa romeo 159 has an air filter but it is very difficult to reach and not many people change ir.

@@blazy-ci9xh you can. But you will have the check engine light on, and the engine will run on a separate callibration. I am not sure what fuelling adjustments the callibration will make to meet emissions.

@@phantumviper3873 I t works reliably. I don't know the range. The furthest i troed it was about 20 meters.

@@SimonGregory-r2n I had a knocking noise at low speed when acceleratimg and decelarating, but that was due to the gearbox mount. Unfortunately I did not record that, but it is a very straight forward repair. The driveshaft did not cause knocking.

@@aup2949 i did get vignette, but I only needed them for Austria and Hungary.

@@eddiebone421 yup. Seems like it. I was just used to seeying 90c as a standard and could not find any speciffications online.

@@saeedminaii6023 in the UK that is correct. Most DC chargers cost 0.7-0.9 pounds per kW. If you do the maths you will find that it is cheaper to drive a diesel car.

@@androidloid2191 i have not thought abou that. I would say NO, because I did not touch the geometry at all. I did not touch the track rod.

@@christowle7093 the other side is is the same, but the drive shaft is shorter and does not have the bearing in the middle. So just a few less bolts.

@@hosuandreiremus thanks for replying, still have to drain gearbox oil and remove lower suspension arm from the hub? Cheers

@@christowle7093 yes. You still need to drain the oil otherwise it will leak when ehrn you remove the driveshaft. I also think you need to disconnect from the hub, otherwise I cant see a way to pull the driveshaft out.

@@hosuandreiremus OK that's brilliant, I think you have helped alot and I look forward to doing my replacement in the next week or so. Thank you ill be watching again for sure

@@MrGayle_ they are great and the range is very good. Cant fault it. Had it for 6 months.

@@calebmcclure3893 i dont trust it enough when the family is in the car. I use it when I am on my own, but dont feel confortable with it. I use the cruise control all the way, but I prefer to do the steering myself.

Phantom braking is a big issue and if you’re not concentrating it’ll kill you. I do wish Tesla would sort this but they don’t seem interested, been going on for years.

@@Yorkshireasaurus i have not noticed that. Sometimes, when on cruise control, if i am on the first lane and there is an off ramp it will change the speed from 70mph to 40mph, and if there is a truck behind it can be very dangerous, because the regen braking is quite strong. But overall I don’t trust autopilot and I am conscious of the limitations of cruise control control

@@MilienXo that is a bit strange. You will have to pull the tube out. You dont have much choice. It is brobably feels stuck because the dipstick tube has all sorts of bends in it to reach the oil sump. But there shoild not be anything that is holding it stuck. I would avoid this oil change method. I found that it cant suck up all the oil

Agree with your comments but I think having a thin ash coaring shortly after cleaning the EGR is normal. I did clean the MAF sensor as well and checked the MAP sensor is working correctly. Generally , when a sensor fails it will show as open circuit or very high resistance and the ECU will pick it up. But if you have a case where you are getting incorrect readings the ECU might try and interpret the data as correct. I had issues like this on a different car where I replaced a faulty sensor with the incorrect part number ad caused a lot of problems. In this particular instance I never got to the bottom of the issue.

@@fredriksalmen5159 does the car powers up and the music works when you press the on button? If it does, then try and use a multimeter to see if any power is sent to the motor when you press the pedal. It could be the pedal or the forward/reverse switch that are broken.

@@liampelleg i found them on Ebay. But it has been a while and cant find the links.

@@andrewtruscott8515 it depends where you live and how efficient your diesel car is. In the UK charging is expensive but in Europe I found it to be a bit cheaper. I have recently done a long trip through Europe and it worked out about 25% cheaper than my diesel car. But I need to mention that the non Tesla chargers cost almost double.

@@hosuandreiremus cheers… so as long as you stick with Tesla network and charge at certain times it’s cheaper…

@@andrewtruscott8515 yes. Tesla Offers the cheapest rates and chargin off peak also helps. But charging at home is by far the cheapes way charge your car and 99% of my charging is done at home thanks to the generous range of the Model 3. I find myself driving the Tesla much more than the diesel car even on long journeys.

@@pietcosmetic1420 the motors will have some natural resistance because of the magnets inside and the brushes, so I don't think the motors are broken. You should be able to change the damaged gears and it will work, but I dont know if you can find the gears only. When I bought some motors they come with 3 types of gears of different sizes, so knowing what size you need is a bit of a guessing game. The easiest option is to get a set of motors complete with gearbox because they are not very expensive. Also, riding on the grass is probably the reason the plastic gears got damaged.

@@bambamyt5915 I have the same problem when the car is on low speed. There is a high/low button. In low speed the motors are probably wired in series and the voltage drop is very high, causing the controller to switch off. When on high speed, the motors are in parallel. This draws more current but the voltage drop is less.

@@hosuandreiremus Thank you very much for the prompt reply. Can you tell me what I should do? or what are the possible solutions? sorry but i am very inexperienced with these.thank you very much again.

@@bambamyt5915 does the car have a high and low speed setting? If it does, try and use the high speed and see if the problem persists and let me know.

@@hosuandreiremus I looked to find if it has a speed regulator but I can't find anything. only one remote control has a black box which is logically some kind of safety? I don't know. it says 8A again. the remote control only has three speeds, slow, medium, fast. no matter where I put it, the car shuts off again.

@@bambamyt5915 I don’t know how to fix it without having a look, but from what you said, it sounds like the new motor is causing a large voltage drop that is causing the controller to switch off. Since you have already changed the battery to one that has more capacity I am not sure what to recommend.

Glad it helped. I only pay somebody to do some work if I tried it myself first and failed.

@@maiky2189 i dont see why not. But you will probably need to remove the front bumper to get the old airbox out.

@@Private_user19037 not sure where you can find it new. I bought used on ebay.

@@BottleBrookGardens i am not sure. It may be the bluetooth connector is not compatible with the car, (what OBD tool do you use?) or Ford have changed something in the way the ECUs communicate making the feature unavailable on the app. You may need a mechanic with a decent scan tool.

@@youngexo3219 you can take it off but nothing will happen with the power as long as you dont change the fuelling.

@@tysonvenablescoaching i only changed the battery. The motor probably has a rating fron 6 ro 12 v anyway. The problem I had is that the music player burned out after a while.

@@EastVanGuy7 they have. Everything was sorted withim 4 weeks (which is a long time), and the car is great. Just been on a trip across Europe and had no issues with range and charging.

@@PatiYuki most of the smaller cars only have one motor and they work.

I dont know. Dont have any experience with them.

@@gotobedandtickler I lost count. It was a massive pain to do it on my own. Much easier with a second pair of hands.

@@hosuandreiremus I've done it Many times, I used jacks and blocks of wood as assistants.

@@sticky.fingers your speeding ticket will be expensive.
