I think you're a rare breed now, Jimmy. An actual mechanic, vs a 'parts fitter' which is all main dealers seem to have these days 😕
I just repaired a jeep compass 1.6 diesel that the mail stealer for months. They are a joke these days especially with diesels
Your right the main dealers are clueless nowadays
Ahem, they aren’t mechanics, they’re technicians now. 😆
Yeah, Zip-tie technicians. I've got that sticker on my toolbox too 😆
my vivaro going well since you sorted the issues on monday cheers again Jimmy
Great to hear ☺️
@@ORileysAutos how to contact you
Free knowledge, the internet is truly amazing! Thanks Jimmy for everything! All the best!
Glad you think so!
Good to see the van whisperer still working his magic, mines still going great since your good work, cheers Jimmy.
Good to hear
I just think this highlights how bad things are with garages, its like the wild west taking your vehicle into a garage these days even into a main dealer. You've just demonstrated how difficult it is to find someone that actually knows what they're doing. A1 to you fair play!
If you know how a system works you know how to test it and therefore can fix it. A lack of understanding and laziness breeds parts changers and scan and go merchants. If a vehicle is booked into my garage for a diagnostic test. That’s exactly what it gets. TESTING. Top work as always fella 👍
What diagnostic tool would you recommend for a part time mechanic & his dog? ,🏴
@@derekmorgan4895 my go to is my Autel ms909 as a general tool. Lots of good tools available. I suppose your budget has a big bearing on things but launch,topdon,Autel and thinkcar all very good products. Data systems are a must as well a variety of test lights/bulbs for load testing. A decent multimeter and a scope of some kind. Even a one channel level entry scope is better than none at all. Lastly but the most important thing in my opinion is training. Have attended many courses that include diagnostic and master tech at technical topics in bridgewater whom I can’t recommend highly enough. So much so that I’m currently in Lanzarote on holiday and I’m attending one of the day after I fly back 😂 hth
Top Marks again Jimmy for your patience and explanations.
Lads in our local Ford garage get paid rubbish wages, and get treated badly so my nephew left when he could and now hes happy working at a Land Rover dealers.
Most youngsters are interested but the management are just blond haired empty suits , yes, this one was a woman 😏😊👍
That is a big part of the problem. Good mechanics aren’t valued or paid properly so they leave. Every garage needs good staff who stay around & are valued.
Parts cannon wars fired by fools. Well done Jimmy for proving that knowledge is indeed power.
Main dealers don't know how to fix these cars, most of the time they will bring in a specialist like yourself to fix it for them, another brill job as always Jimmy.
That’s not very far from the mark. Theresa guy near me who’s a bit of a wiz with vehicle electronics. There’s a big New Holland tractor dealer who bring him in at night to fix the stuff their own guys can’t sort ( even though he has no formal qualifications).
Top class work Jimmy. Whilst Dealercons want another 2 hours 💴to investigate and diagnose for three hours. Jummy does his magic of diagnose and solve the problem with good solutions in less time… class act… respect to you and your pro work
Knowledge is everything i watched a lot of your vids and learned so much from you you can have the best diagnostic tools but its knowing how to use them and your the man great job
I'm sure that, If Jimmy opened a chain of O'Rileys garages in the UK and his employees were taught and watched over by Jimmy It would be a massive success 😁and maybe Jimmy could then keep his hands clean for ever more😂Massive respect for your knowledge & even more for posting these videos on how you do it👍
Well done Jimmy. Why can't these dealers diagnose these issues, you are a top guy , shame we don't have guys like you in the so called main steelers 😂we'll done again 👍
Surely this video is evidence of the fraud by the main dealer. They claim to be experts and that legally carries an extremely high bar that the customer can expect from them. The fact that a 1 man independent mobile mechanic, accurately diagnosed and fixed the problem on video, in a car park of all places, proves that the dealer was incompetent at best and fraudulent at worst. Either way, he should be demanding his money back from the dealer on this basis alone in my opinion. Clearly they are either not experts and are incompetent or they are deliberately overcharging! Which is it do you think?
Some people that work in some garages don't have understanding of how it really works....Jimmy your knowledge and how you explain it is amazing!
Thanks 👍
Nice job.That scanning tool looks like a great piece of kit, especially when you have someone like yourself who knows how to use it 😉
Thanks 👍
Glad I totally rebuilt the body on my smiley transit. Had it from new and covered over 500k miles now. Still use it to do journeys the length of the country without any issue, and it's not even that bad on fuel. When I watch these videos and tot up the cost of owning newer vans I realise I'd have to be mental to swap it, especially as you very often can't even fix it yourself!
Second that, just welded and wax oiled my old HiAce 2.4 D no turbo no nothing
@@anishmahadeo5073 Mid to late 90's commercials were the best in my opinion. Sure, if you're doing mega high mileages the a newer common rail makes more sense in regard of fuel saving, but then you can quite easily wipe a year or two's savings away after needing one repair, of which newer vehicles seem to need a lot! I also like the fact my old tranny is going up in value, whereas everyone's newer vans are going down 😁
Jimmy, well done.
It is surprising what one can achieve when a modicum of intelligence is applied.
Nice seeing you on Tuesday and sorting out my Audi and the further advice given 😎Car runs brilliant and hope no future issues 🤗 Have a lovely weekend🤗
Stealerships are not interested in solving the problem, just applying sticky tape. Much like GP's.
Something seems to be wrong with main dealer training for mechanics.
They are not doing proper fault diagnostic's, just changing parts with the hope that with fix the fault.
they don't have time for proper diagnostics, incorrect work system
selling new cars seams to be more important for them.
Most main dealers are just servicing. By the time cars need work done they’re taken to cheaper independents
Nice work Jimmy.
I would like to know which Vauxhall dealer he took it to so I can avoid it! Well done Jimmy, I have posted this on the owners FB page.
A very good point
All of them 😢
@@MummaBear shocking statement if that was reality.
@@Bigtbuilder Pretty much is reality. Some main dealers have their own training centres, very different from the old city and guilds type training. Jimmy and others like him have likely had full hands on training and, I'd say , more importantly experience in both diagnosis and fixing. Parts replacers are simply fixing the symptom in many cases. I know some great mechanics and it's their practical knowledge, due to experience, to deal with all things that can go wrong, rounded ruts etc. That only comes with being in the thick of it. Dealers are purely about the numbers, the money.
@@marksutherland774 I am one of those Old School City and Guilds qualified techs and did a 5 year indentured apprenticeship at GM Luton plant which included 12 months at General Motors in Detroit, ending up in what was called AJ Block at the Luton plant, the experimental vehicle development section for 5 years. So it’s no wonder that these so called “modern apprenticeships” produce “parts swappers” not diagnostic fault finders.
Logical deduction based on the data and observation. Superb work indeed. Main dealers are highway robbers.
Thank you
5⭐ mechanic, the best.
Thanks for sharing all this knowledge, i have no problems atm but its always good to know whats moving my car forward 😊. Last engine i changed was on my Reliant 45 years ago. 😂😂. Keep up the good work Jimmy. Thx.
Glad to help
straight to the cause,love watching a real tech at work.never get bored.
Thanks
Veritabe masterclass mate!
My Vivaro did this anti-pollution system I had bought the kit that you use did what you do and all is good thanks very much for your help. That pipe that you unblock with the bicycle cable is a bugger though. ! She was blocked solid
test don't guess. another great video
Correct!
Teaching me alot mate increasing my income thanks
Glad to hear it
Another top job Jimmy!
Parts cannon without diagnostic, usually gives this result. Good job, Jimmy!
Love your video's jimmy keep them coming
Cracking job Jimmy. 100 A1+
As a mechanic i love this shit watching a pro
BRILLIANT... again!
Great job mate
You should be teaching these garages how to fault find a d fix dpf
Well done Jimmy
It's actually unbelievable numerous garages and main dealers couldn't solve this.
Outstanding work as always.
Thanks again!
Dealerships and parts changers, they never fail to fail.
Top fella jimmy
Another great video, 👍
Thanks again!
I've just had one Jimmy on a petrol engined 1.8 Polo....its been everywhere and the customer said its the turbo...will you fit a new turbo...yep no problem...has the dealer seen the split in the boost pipe???
Great work, once again!
Thanks again!
Try a pedal press jimmy your a legand im mobile to only just geting in to the dpf cleaning but its going will i use autel to also a mono meter keep up good work
These 1.6dci engines keeping you busy lol
Maybe a little too busy
Great videos Jimmy. Where do you get what the levels of soot, preasure differentials etc etc should be?
Great stuff.
Jimmy need to use oem parts especially for engine sensors and modules.
Hello ,
Really appreciating what you are sharing with us , l have used it today on a 2012 Ranger , it has helped me alot and l thank you for.
Great weekend to you all.
Tigo
Great to hear!
Nice work as always ☘️
Thanks again!
@@ORileysAutos it takes an Irish man to do every job properly 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
love watching your contents , but when are you going to invest in a headcam so you have two hands at all time lol
It’s Jimmy’s genius; he can fix these things one-handed!
That was fascinating, I don't know much about anything mechanical. Watched the whole video mind blown!
Considering buying a Vivaro as my first ever vehicle, as I want to convert it and travel.
Wondering if I could please ask you advice. Two people have now told me that vivaros are bad vans, would you agree with this? If not what would be the year and millage you'd suggest would be a decent van to purchase for converting into a camper.
Theres some reasonably priced options around 50k/60k miles, and obviously cheaper again at 80k. The difficulty is I could waste money getting something really low millege and then take longer to convert it or i could save money getting higher mileage then it could be a waste as I'd be paying for repairs.
Any tips would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Always an easy fix 😅 wish I could afford your service to fix my vivaro, all sensors working fine, just soot content increasing drastically on a press of accelerator, dpf clogging in no time, and only fault codes DTC200291 DTC200292 which means dpf clogged , will be checking injectors and turbo 🙈
Hi jimmy can I ask regarding the battery disconnect faults if the all the battery connectors needed cleaning and removed from the lugs would you need to do a relearn on the scann tool .
Jimmy would you recommend a dpf clean annually on a new van going forward ?
Do you do anything for bad backs and sore knees?
jimmy is there any measure an owner can take to prevent tne D P F from blocking up
does your scanner reset range rover air suspension i think you brilliant thanks
great work Jimmy 👍👍
How do you get this good at fault diagnosis? Serious question. I'm not a mechanic. However, after spotting a video of yours where I realised my exterior temp sensor was toast- 88 deg c- so I self fitted a new Peugeot part to my wing mirror and now it's all good. £80 done. I don't get why modern garages are unable to diagnose issues.
You Da man 👍
You’re an absolute magician. How do you accrue that amount of specialist knowledge?
That curious thing called experience 😉
I know, I agree, but he can do it over so many makes and models (and it seems main dealer mechanics can’t even do it on one make!)
@@simonbailey2151 He’s applying the same diagnostic techniques & principles though. When it comes to emissions issues the same things arise irrespective of mfr.
Went through something similar a few years ago when i needed a new dpf pressure sensor tried 2 different sensors one was 12 quid the second one was 30 something quid the car didn't like them it was only when i put a genuine vauxhall one on did the problem go away..
What calculates the soot content in the dpf
Hi I have a mercedes vito 2019 taxi. Goes into limp mode, no eml on or anything, changed nox sensor and o2 sensor, dpf seems fine. Any ideas what it could be. Also notice blue smoke now n again when idling at lights.
Ignorance is bliss if you are a main dealer. Cha ching
Brilliant Jimmy. Quick question 2019 Mercedes sprinter van or Vw crafter which would you choose ??
VW for easier maintenance
Impressive. I bet shop would change whole DPF filter.
Would you be kind Sir and please tell me which diagnostic tool are you using there?
www.launchtech.co.uk/oem-level-vehicle-diagnostics/x-431-euro-tab-iii/
I have no issues with the work you do and have nothing against you personally.
My issue is with the way the system works.
It gets blocked because it’s saving the soot and emissions then it cleans itself back into the air.
So if all the sensors and equipment wasn’t there it would just go back into the air exactly the same.
Am I wrong? Please tell me if that’s right or wrong.
Main 'STEALERS' don't want to fix anything straight away, they want to keep your vehicle for as long as possible and bill you by the hour until they can give you a bill for £1000 + otherwise, you are a very bad customer!
I have a feeling because it was in Vauxhall's the follow up mechanics must have thought it was not a blocked DPF so started firing the parts cannon at it
Hi , please can you elaborate me what scan tool you used and how much it costs? Thank you😊
Launch UK Euro Tab 3 at £5,995
i agree with the comment underneath but the gas thing about it is the charge people for the labour and parts it should be No fix no charge there a rip off
Im 3 mins in ,& already know the guitar wire needs coming out
Ciao sono in Italia ho una opel Astra k diesel mi esce errore p2002 come lo risolvo? Ho provato a pulire il fap ma si accende la spia motore...quando accendo macchina il minimo diminuisce e poi si stabilizza subito dopo e non so da cosa dipende...
Hello O' Riley you might be the man I'm looking for, my vauxhall vivaro has been having these issues for 6 months I've spent well over £1600 on DPF cleans and oil changes. How can I get in contact with you?
orileysautos@gmail.com
Jimmy I live down south Wiltshire and Bournemouth area. Can you put me in touch with someone so I can get my VW T5.1 biturbo done like you
U do.
My clutch is juddering vauxhall vivaro 2016 plate, any solutions 😁👍🏼 had master cylinder changed but still same 😕
New clutch unfortunately
@@ORileysAutos thanks jimmy, do you know the cost of new clutch? 😛
Hi ,i dropped a van into a garage with DPF problems. They said it was fixed ,drove it for a few days ,oil light came on ,pulled over ,dipped for oil not a drain of oil on the dipstick, phoned garage and asked if they checked for oil and they said know ,so basically they let a 4 year old renualt traffic out with dpf problems and not checking engine for oil ,is this normal or is the garage playing dumb here ?
It's good practice to check the oil level but if it's not part of the job not everyone will. It is the owners responsibility to check oil and coolant levels daily
👍
The problem is the new Mechanic's are not getting the proper training and relying on computer to solve all problems
Totally agree. When I was an apprentice mechanic umpteen years ago training was 4 years for a tech ( me) 3 for a mechanic and 2 for a fitter.
👍👍👍🆒💖
👍🏻
I own quite a few vans and i've had more trouble with Vauxhall dealers than anyone else and i have tried a few, i do not buy vauxhall anymore
Jimmy'll Fix It 😂😂😂
didn't he say,self taught.
Surely this person can go and claim his money back as fitting all these parts didn't not correct the problem.
That’s not how it works. If the parts are unopened he might get a partial refund
Buying Chinese crap off eBay.
everyone talks about proper diagnostics, but when it comes down to it, no one wants to pay for long hours often spent on piles of scrap.
really? so this took about an hour. how hard was that for someone with the know how and right tools?
@@cornishcat11 Of course, not everyone, but many customers simply do not tell the truth after their „RUclips repairs”, Maybe I'm unlucky, but most cases have already visited several workshops and then they ask for repairs
