Hey thanks for the comment, yes it's a brilliant device that saves me so much time on potential issues.....we all know these OBD sockets are made of chocolate ha ha It's crazy! The thing is people can do the jobs, they just can't do the diagnostics side of it, so I spend more time travelling around the country telling people what's wrong than actually doing the job from start to finish. I think it's cheaper for customers as no one wants to pay me my hourly rate to change something they can do themselves 👍😎
Loving the channel mate. I drive a new xg plus all over Europe and it’s been reliable so far. Definitely going to show the boss this channel for when our manufacturers r and m runs out. Keep them coming
Hey buddy thanks for the comment. I'm starting to get more Next Generation Daf through now that I can actually show people on here on how to fix them. End of the day if your stuck or want a second option drop me a message on the contact page over at www.trucktechuk.com 👍
Another good video 👍👍 I once got called out to an Actros with LDWS warning and emergency break fault. Turns out it was a rather big moth had met its maker right in front of the camera. Easy Money 👍😂
Ha ha ha that's BRILLIANT 😂😂😂😂. I've had dust before blocking the camera lens 🫣 who would ever think they would leave gaps in the adhesive for it to enter between the screen and camera! Thanks for the comment buddy and for watching 😎👍
Hi Russel, As always a great informative video. Your new van is a nice upgrade over the old one. I like an oil dipstick better than the electric one. I also have it in my car am not a fan of it. Must have to do with lazy drivers. Until the next video.
Hey buddy thanks for the comment and for dropping by. The vans great for not getting wet and for keeping warm ha ha ha its got a night heater in. I think it's great that we can create these systems to check things but education is key to using them. Keeping it simple is the name of the game
Good video Russ! Shorting brake linings is sharp thing 😅 ( I have it done too 😂) AEBS faults in my workshop are always related to event counter exceeded to the max.
Hey buddy. Thanks for the comment, yes not the best but if the customer is getting the servicing done and is on top of it by checking the brake pads on inspection, the truck will be fine. The limit on the AEBS should he higher ha ha ha
@darrenhearn1365 the sooner they bring in some sort of legal ADAS requirement the better. Although most CARS are now adopting self-calibration that trucks use 🫣🫣🫣
Easy week for you Russel...with the oil level it is one of them what is easier to do ..check the sensor or tilt the cab ,what ever you choose will be wrong ....I have had a couple of the EBS issues on the lift axle ,generally i put it down and the light is out before i get to the gate on the roadtest ...Dont forget you may have to get DAF to update the software to go with the new LDWS ,the amount of people who fit a new LDWS programme it and knacker it ,,And that is even with the warnings DAF give ,piece of paper with the new camera ,a warning on the davie ,warning on RMI ,,etc ..Then you get the not my fault DAF to blame blah blah lol
Hey buddy. I still need to reply to your email from last week 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣. That's how crazy it is at the moment. Bloody oil levels lol I've had the ECAS valve cause this issue before where it drops the lift axle and picks the back of the truck up off the floor 😂. I think if they had driven it a bit longer with it down it might have gone out but I've tried to cover every possible cause in the video. As for the LDWS software, I can program the latest version with jaltest, I will see if I need to get an ID CARD update on it first if that's what the customer wants....it might end up with a 2nd hand one from james heart lol
Hey buddy, it's this one. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192487351683?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=M56R26TpR1m&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=T1fARLmMQPS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY PERSONALLY.......I wouldn't buy it. I think it was great for me starting off but from a functional view it could be better!!!! Sometimes it can count degrees of angle torque when you have no pressure on it, if you're moving the head it's measuring the angle. I'd go with the Snap-on equivalent. Has a better torque range, is more robust and counts the measurements better. The downside is you could buy 3 Sealey torque wrenches to one snap-on one
I don't know how anyone puts up with Dafs and the constant faults lol We went Renault T series and they have been Superb Tractor Units for what they cost.
The way I see it is this is a biased channel. You will never see a DAF that isn't broken. Daf as a brand is the biggest market leader in the UK and this is why you hear about fault more than any other truck. If for example, Joe Blogs buys 20 DAFS and 10 developed faults over 3 years....this would be the same ratio as say someone buying 4 Renaults and 2 getting faults over 3 years. You just have ALOT more drivers shouting about issues, this is why I think I can do 7 days a week just fixing DAFS, whereas if I did a channel on Renaults, I'd be unable to upload once a week.
@@TRUCKTECHUK 🤣 same here man! That noise when they start up is ubiquitous! Great videos thanks for your time and efforts I find it very informative pal..

You constantly don't have enough time to finish the repairs to the end😂

Hey Steve 👋. I've been reading through the bulletins on RMI buddy, it's all fixable isn't it 😉. Glad you're enjoying it mate

@@TRUCKTECHUK generally it is an id card change for laws.. as it is different software..
@TRUCKTECHUK Ecas valves used to drop 1 side slightly and stick on the ebay warning..that was fun
So it will have to be a software request through eportal then 😕, no doubt they will charge for this 😂.
Ha ha ha its been awhile since I've had the ECAS issue 😂😂😂
Hi Russell, where did you purchase that laser measuring device from please?
Good old amazon, i originally bought it to do measurements on a twisted chassis but ive found loads of uses for it! amzn.eu/d/85f5Kca
I forgot to ask you from the previous video, what angle torque wrench you use ? I am after one wondering if you happy with yours 😊
Hey buddy, it's this one.

Hey buddy thanks for the comment. If you unplug the dash it will sort it out 😂👍
Hello from germany
Is jaltest good diagnostic tool?
Hello 👋👋👋👋😎 i find jaltest good for DAF, I do other trucks and trailers sometimes but for DAF it's as good as davie for functionality 😎
Nice work hw do I get that tool Jal test I am in Botswana we have now received those urro 6 daf
I would contact jaltest for your official country supplier in your area
