what i thought was van wiring fault, turn out to be something else in the end 🤦♂️(AKA XMAS TREE) www.topdondiag... Use code marksmith get 10% off anything 👍
Love you vids got a Viv myself I love it but hear some dreaded stories but if I do ever get any issues plz be on stand by as your always fixing them but watch everyone of you vids tc scott
My van has lights flashing because of the blue wiring block under the coolant expansion tank. The connections go green. It caused my engine to not rev and dash lights flashing..
@NarrowboatWill Is yours a 1.9? The 2.0 doesn't a blue plug as such. There is one that does the loom to the engine , but it is down near the ( near side light) on muti plug, The blue plug is often cut out and hard wired back up to stop getting shorts in the loom 👍
@tinker-time it said the egr valve and the throttle body on the foot pedal. I've changed those and it's still there. I had to pay for the scan..I think it's a bad earth or something because when I pulled the wires on the blue block, the engine revved up etc. I've got rid of the block and cleaned all the connectors and re connected them. Perhaps I need to hard wire like you say..
I had to change the speedometer after somone but black tape over all the warning lights so I tryed to take the tape off behind the background but I moved the speedo needle an it lost positioning and wouldn't calibrate properly, nightmare to find somone to change the Eprom for the mileage 🤦🏻♂️
Tape on the lights seen that afew time or marker pen, I guess if you van nice then millage need to right, I think I've just wiped 70k of this even tho it look like it done 250k 🤣 I hope the clock works. I really thought all clocks were the same
@@tinker-time can't really believe somone would go to effort of doing it, just a dirty selling tactic. That's not bad 😂 I just didn't want mileage wrong as it looks abit wrong on MOT unless you get a cheeky guy to mot it, I made sure all the codes on back was same as original and worked a treat
There wasn't many more lights to pop up, think stop lights and abs were the only 2 missing, is difficult because some class the dashboard just an instrument panel , i found naming the video with a title cos most people put dashboard part of the clocks but I know what you mean 🤣🤣🤣 The Dash is in the back of the van 👍🤦♂️🤣
I've not tried to do one yet. On these vans, there are some good lads out there that do them tho, on the forum, there are some good recommendations. Are you on the tvp Facebook group? Just depends where you are aswell
@bryanomalley-o2k Have you had up on Jack's? ( on the sub frame, tho) To take the weight of the wheels and check the c.v joints and shafts, for wear, And check bushes in bottom arms,

@tinker-time Mines a primastar, 1.9 and I've taken the blue plug casing off. I can't get rid of my engine management light. 😩
Have you had a scanner on it?
What the fault that was showing
