Thank you for making these videos. We don't have these cars in the USA yet, but I have learned a lot from you. I still get a laugh every time I recall those vans that have a temperature sensor in the side (wing?) mirror and every time there is any problem with that sensor all the money lights come on on the dash.
Six weeks parked up at a monkeys gaff while they necked sangria talk about nonsense!! Why so many can’t follow basic fault finding and fixing nowadays is staggering. Well done Jimmy great job 👍
Thanks for making this and other videos. Your information was crucial today, in allowing me to repair a blocked DPF fault on my dad's Forester, which has been in and out of his local garage several times now. We used a 600ml aerosol treatment, followed up by a few short blasts of compressed air, then did everything which you showed... and of course we still had that flashing filter warning light. All sorted now though, after twice telling it that the filter had been replaced. Thanks again 👊
O'rileys Autos Going International 😂😂😂 Having had the pleasure of watching your videos I dread everytime I hear someone with a Dpf issue on RUclips say the Mechanic told him to give it a blast down the Motorway
Again top service! I can already confirm the problem of oil dilution in Asian cars. We bought a second-hand Kia Sportage (134000km) that was still under factory warranty and we noticed the high oil level shortly after purchase.The dpf diff. pressure was 148mb under load. They said that oil dillution was normal and kept us on the line until the warranty period was over. When I did an oil sample analysis and also connected an oil pressure gauge to the gallery, it became clear to me that the engine bearings were in very poor condition, 0.6 bar idle when the engine was warm.
Another great video, I myself have 2012 subaru legacy, the reason the revs drop back to normal is because if you have the temperature in the cabin set to over 20 degrees and you start the car from cold the revs stay higher until it gets warmed up. I myself have had dpf issues and it was all down to garages putting in 5w 30 engine oil, whereas in the cars booklet it says it should be 0w30 engine oil. I've since been servicing the car myself now and all has been well. I've also been resetting my own oil dilution which garage's weren't doing. This can be done without diagnostic tool, if you depress the clutch and keep your foot on the brake start the car release the clutch turn rear demister on turn on parking lights then turn off rear demister turn off parking lights and release the brake do this within ten seconds and the glow plug light should flash 5 times. It might take a couple of tries but eventually you'll get it. I also noticed that when servicing the car be very careful refilling with engine oil I leave mine a small bit shy of full mark, because even if you go over by a little the dpf light starts flashing.
You should open your own garage now with the amount of work you have. £199 a clean, £299 for two cleans, get some good men on the team you will smash it. Even I would work for you if you lived in South Wales and I guess many other men would work with you if you pay them well. Open a second garage with shared ownership you will do well I know it people love you and your work.
I checked how much will it cost me to ship my car from Ireland to you and I got big shock 😳. Haulage company traveling to UK weekly to collect vehicles from different sites (garages, homes, auctions, ...) quoted me €1k each way that's €2000 without the cost of repair 😳 🙉🙈🙊😠😥😡 now my car is in repair shop for 3 weeks and still not fixed but I refused to agree with them to put new dpf (more than 1k). I never did regeneration to it and they had no proof of it being damaged and yet they told me I need new one😡 so tomorrow I will go to collect it unrepaired and will have to pay them their labour cost. I'm beside myself, disappointed, angry 😠 for not having competent mechanics in garages rather we have threatening mafiosos ripping people off. I have the A bar for towing the car but it rubs badly against the bottom of the front bumper and not sure if it's safe to tow it all the way to you also don't know if I can get it into the ferry and through customs in tow (regulations regarding towing for long distances....). I wish you could make a visit to Ireland with your van and put us all out of our misery 😢 as there are lot of people with same problems and no right solution apart from sourcing second hand or new dpf and even that I'm not sure 🤔 if they can clear the dashboard warning lights as it needs expensive equipments with good knowledge which they lack. Here is very serious question for you Jimmy 🙏 can you please train me or invest in to have me working for you after training and I could cover few counties around Mayo? Or something you think is better idea 💡 🤔 🤷 🙏🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 ✌❤☘
I have the same problem now, i sent the dpf filter to be cleand complete it was done and fitted back by my mechanic, the regeneration started to work again, but after ca 1000km all the lamps like here poped up and the card did not have proper power like it was drowing/clogged, i did some research and it seams like the egr valve should also be cleand same time you clean or replace the dpf filter. Now im trying to see how to renove and clean the egr valve, would highly appreciate if you have a video or can make a video about that. ❤ i have a subaru outback 2.0d 2011 very little kilometers on always fully serviced at Subaru in Switzerland
Watched many of your videos and they are soo helpful to others. My e220 went into limp mode and I had mechanic perform a regeneration and it was complete but after we went for a drive and it still wouldn’t pass 3000rpm and couple hours after the eml came back on again. Do you advise I take it for a motorway drive as the filter itself is now clear? Any help would be appreciated
Find it hard to believe after all the time they have been fitting this JUNK onto diesels that the garage “ trade” proffesionals 😅 don’t seem to have a clue, But hey they’re not paying, just cashing up on their inefficiency 🤮
Brilliant again Jimmy. It just shows you how poor the training is. Your videos are almost the same thing over and over. Surely this should be on a training course. What you do is not particularly hard. Just some knowledge and experience. Just no proper training any more.
Thats got to be the record for distance travelled to see you!

Glad you like them!

Cheers jimmy, incredible, even Spain can’t fix them. You’re going to have to go international!.

Astounding… well done. Again. “ can I book my car in for you to sort, BTW, I am being transported from Spain” . No pressure, eh…😂
But there was - loads of pressure, in the DPF at least!!! 🤣😉😇

Always wanted one of them until I read about the faults. Great job as always Jimmy.
Crankshaft failures are very common on them. 😬
SMILED... haha, all the way through!!!! Well done JIMMY!
Jimmy triumphs again!! Great Stuff Sir "Thanks"😇

It would have been been cheaper for him to fly you to Spain, get you an apartment for a week and hire the equipment!
Well done Jimmy! Bet your man sells his car now to recoup his costs now he's back in the UK. ;-)
They usually snap the Cranks long before anything else 🤣 Seen a few go to the Crusher quite early in life.
These always used to have a major issue with oil dilution due to failed regen's that knocked out the bottom end.
You should open your own garage now with the amount of work you have. £199 a clean, £299 for two cleans, get some good men on the team you will smash it. Even I would work for you if you lived in South Wales and I guess many other men would work with you if you pay them well.

Nasty cars! Had one break a crankshaft during regen.
How does that happen?
I can now understand why I don't see much Subarus on our roads.
Great job
Master
Nice fix Jimmy. Will you get a new hose for your launch gun or do your usual trick and glue it?
I thought on Subarus the flashing DPF light was oil dilution, Solid DPF was failed regen?
Correct you are!
Your are top man if you came around KETTERING I do have a unit just out side KETTERING pop around for drink mate 👍

You need to fix the problem that's stopping the DPF regenerating on it's own. Otherwise drive it to the scrappy as it'll be cheaper.
@@alexanderhughes1540 yeah by the looks of things I may need to find a cheap option as new will cost a fortune
Don't replace the DPF without fixing the reason it blocked
2.2?
Type of diagnostic is that?

Just take out of these rubbish, its not working for the owner and the Subaru.
