Where are these garages finding customers who are so willing to part with that kind of money for an old car?!! I've been doing full engine rebuilds for people on cars/vans that in some cases are only just out of warranty, but even then most people don't want to actually pay a lot for the serious amount of effort and man hours that go into such a job! 😮
@@lukedrobinson9156 Nah, I make good money doing them. Even ended up owning a few really nice motors buying from people who don't want to spend out repairing them😉. It just blows me away how much some people are willing to spend on an old car like that, I mean at what point do you just call it quits and cut your losses. Some garages are just taking the absolute p! Ss with their customers.
I dont know if im lucky but my bmw x5 40d has never had a dpf issue in its life and i got it on 50k miles and its now on 105k. I just service it twice a year on my driveway and use premium fuel. Oh and i drive it very hard most times..600nm of torque and over 300bhp is adictive
The amount of places that cant do just a visual inspection is beyond me, i had a customer recently that had the parts cannon fired at it circa £1000 and 2 months off the road, turns out it was a £20 boost pipe that was clearly faulty when under that car
People just picked recommend garages or tunners for the first visit not the last one. Feel sorry for the owner. Its a well known fault and fixable for way way lower money.
Too many robbing clowns about these days. That said, main dealers have a lot to answer for, their extortionate rates and sketchy service levels (in a lot of cases - not all) are feeding the cowboys with customers.
Modern diesel are firmly off my shopping list
That’s nearly 10k in repairs,the car is only worth about that.Ya gotta feel for him.
I hate everytime Jimmy goes to the exhaust tip for the finger of death... You know that's the end of the video😂😂
Wow! If only he came to you in the first place Jimmy. Great video as usual.

How can an industry chargre for not doing there job. Scam, scam,scam.
Take them to court. Social media will do wonders for their business.
Charging 700 is scandalous, the fact it didn't work and they only deleted half the system is even more so
Mechanical genius 👍👍
At least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people 😮

Cheers jimmy, it’s becoming a familiar tale with Garages. Until the customers wake up it will continue.

Nearly 4k in repairs not required and now they want another 4k....
When you pray for rain be prepared for the mud ....
Hello, thanks so much for all video's, ! I have one question have a any garage un belgium ? You are the best 👌
Ooo I wish I could find customers like this,, I struggle to get paid for good work 😂😂😂😅
I clean my dpf twice but the engine management light keep come back with my a6 code P200200
Adblue, EGR and DPF delete works for now but when the MoT criteria changes what then 🤔
@@granddadmark7639 live in fear is not the way.
@@renatairmarius123 @renatairmarius123 have a read on the government website 😢
Jimmy talked about the changes a few months back

What scanner is that Jimmy is it an x431?
Launch UK Euro Tab 3
Bet he wishes he'd left it standard. EGR deletes just move soot into the DPF.
Absolute rubbish where did you google that from?!
EGR's don't reduce soot, they reduce NOX at idle and low RPM.
@@lukedrobinson9156 egr when is deleted the soot/carbon going 100% to the dpf. When is not deleted going to inside engine when is open to get burn
Bad file solution, if you make sure the egr and adblue is removed properly the dpf will still have a burn up and clean itself.
