Pretty rad that you can go onto a website as big as that, put my channel name in it, and get money off loads of stuff. Look mum I made it.
Big thanks to MicksGarage for supplying the goods. I forgot to mention in the video that I changed the glow plugs and the fuel filter already (also Febi Bilstein & Meyle, also from Micks😉) Glow plugs were fun... 😌
Nice video dan mate, i just bought my first ever honda civic ep3 and im over the moon with i pal! been binge watching your videos and im back in love with cars again!! keep up the great work pal
+stu crompton thanks pal 👍
Was you using a brake pipe spanner ?
Nah was I fuck. Shite open ender, ended up getting the grips on it but decided just to leave it rather than go too savage as I need the car for work.
Danny you got a glowplug controller, that went on mine, can you see the fuel rail pressure for any sign of slightly leaking injector? leak down test?
When I clean my car I always use the same sponge on the wheels and paint work. And make sure to go in circles. Works a treat
"NVQ Level 3 BTEC in detailing"..😂😂👏🏻
Got to be called the Autobarn?
+Karl McKenna incredible
Winner 😂
Gets my vote!
Thanks for showing us wash your car...was fantastic..:)looks great again
Glad to see u bk dude missed u for few weeks there
Always interesting listening to english catch phrases. Good Vid Dan
The Audi starts so good next morning because it listen to ordinary world.
Great video keep it up cheers from Germany
Loving how clean the Audi looks with that Asda shampoo, fuck all them expensive cleaners its Asda shampoo and peanut butter for me now on 👌🏻😉
Loving the constant loop of Duran duran
+ruthlesspuffin total fluke that, I had to smile when editing 😌
DannyDC2 how did it manage to. Continue from one day to the next it even sounded like it was in the right part of the song haha
Dan congrats on the new unit! Hopefully being so close now will make for more regular content? Regardless, my Dad has a barn and it recently had the locks smashed and it was broken into. Pikeys took a bunch of tools and god knows what else. Thankfully his motorbikes weren't harmed or taken but pretty much everything else in there that they could move was gone. Make sure the new unit is safe, cctv might be a good idea too if you're that concerned.
My VW Polo had that cold start issue. Turns out it was the emissions and heat sensor unit. Runs like a dream now!
Still need a 'good car' sticker. Make it happen.
this might be worth a shot if all else has failed.try disconnecting the fuel return line from the fuel filter and sending compressed air down there .do this when you have low fuel and then .clean out the fuel sender unit with compressed air and brake fluid cleaner.
we did this on a 1.9 pd engine with starting issues and it resolved the issue.
change the fuel filter after this too
I like the new garage. Man when you tapped the camera with the hammer laughed my ass off, glad it was ok. When you were talking to camera spraying car was waiting for you to just be like and done. Great video loved the music.
I really liked this video man keep it up would love to see more repairing videos
It was oddly satisfying seeing you finally wash this car. I don't think we've ever seen you wash it yourself!
B7 owner here - same chassis. All four discs should have M6 countersunk screws securing them to the hubs. I don't rely on them when undoing the outer driveshaft bolt with screwdriver in disc method though - I'd hate to shear one. It's easier to crack the outer bolts with the car still on the ground and the centre cap removed though.
I notice you use Halfords axle stands on the gearbox cross brace/main subframe area (same as me). If they're the 2-ton stands, it's worth buying some axle stand pads from ebay (seller cav.mar1). They give you a slightly softer surface for that area and stop the upturns digging in. They're also good for the inside of the sill areas.
Regarding the brake union connections - the union nut has a nasty habit of seizing onto the coating of the hard line. If you spanner it too much it'll start twisting the hard line along its length rather than spin the nut. Massively frustrating.
Sick video again Dan, stoked for the apparent wave of repair vids! 🤞
When's the @dannydc2 spotify playlist released then? You obviously have good taste from what I've seem on the gram stories...
I could've sworn I heard some pharcyde and dire straits the other day! 🙌
+James Baggaley I originally uploaded this with a Phaycyde instrumental in the Audi wash part but RUclips didn't like it. 😫
Saw your PH posts, glad you've decided to post this and hopefully more in the future
+eddiefara 👍
i had a very very similar starting issue on my pd130 bora and it was my in tank lift pump dying, it would struggle to start every now and again till it completely died and wouldn’t start at all.
bought a second hand pump for £40 swapped it over (takes about 30 mins) and it’s been spot on ever since.
check to see if you can hear the lift pump prime when you turn the ignition on, you can’t hear it prime with over 3/4 tank of fuel
Good content mate, I have an Audi A4 b7 and it was great to watch how you maintain your cars. Watching From Leeds
You should Invest in a small Lift like a Quick Jack for you working area.
It will make your Life so much more easy.
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Sick video man! Need more like this!
Strong playlist
My old vw Passat 1.9tdi started that bad for about the last 3 years i owned it. But i didnt care, as long as it started every day. I think it was the control unit for the glow plugs.
+TraxX2k7² did you have an EML? I've been living with it for a while now, my only fear is it not starting one day. It's come close a few times where the battery has nearly died first. The constant cranking has finished off my engine mounts too.
I would say that’s the secondary pump. My 330d wouldn’t start some mornings then I would try it again later and it would start straight away! It was under the passenger seat near the sill. Once I replaced it I never had the problem again and I could push the pump a little more when it was mapped again 👌🏻. Very different engines but I’m sure there the same sort of set up.
Adam Taylor I was hoping it would be the lift pump but it seems to be doing its job. Apparently the bags on them can get dirty so I'm going to take it out later and see if it needs a clean.
Long live the good car
Great effort keeping the old girl going
Yay video, and on the good car! Nice vid mate👍
Looking forward to the maintenance videos. :)
Glow plugs would be my first go to for your starting problem
11:31 that's what she said.
I would start with checking for air getting in the fuel system, dirty fuel filter, possibly bad lift pump. Hopefully not injectors.
check your battery wires as well, as they break down over time
Coolant temp sender is worth changing too. Can cause starting issues
Detailing puns 👍🏼😁 The space you got looks pretty decent. How you feel about not working on your car with mates around?
I no a lot of people have already commented saying glow plugs but I had a corsa CDTI that was exactly the same on cold start, changed them and it sorted the problem. Not saying it’s definitely them but worth a try if they haven’t been changed.
Changed a few weeks ago dude
❤️ the Audi, used to have one with similar mileage on at the place I used to work and would rather drive it than the BMW they had
Big up d Shaftec products straight outta brum
David George The immature side of me finds the name hilarious. Maybe I should grow up...
Try hitting the starter motor with a hammer lol. My golf had that problem, whacked it a few times and didn't have an issue for 5k miles later
I had an issue with similar symptoms on my MG ZT diesel. Turned out a couple of the injectors weren't working properly. So might be worth checking them.
Don’t think there’s a problem with fuel getting into the cylinders Danny due to the smoke on start up. Smoke would suggest there is fuel. Although my Dad’s old Citroen Synergie used to have problems with cold starts and that was fuel related. Had an air leak on the fuel pump and would let air in overnight. There was some squishy thing along the fuel lines somewhere within the engine bay that he used to have to squeeze maybe 30 times to get the air out and then it would start. Don’t know if the VW engine has the same sort of thing?
Its the injector seals danny. Common problem on pd tdi's mostly the early 115bhp ones but they're all susceptible to it. It starts no bother once warm I'm assuming? Park it facing down hill that normally helps.
+s19149 already been done, had new O rings when the head was replaced.
Car cleaning guru will be having kittens washing a car like that 😂
Could be the in-tank fuel pump, did this on my golf, but mine would cut out if I left it idling for too long as well
The spline bits are called "spline drives" or "double hex"
change the glow plugs man! I had the same problem in a PD100 MK4 Bora
Cheers from Argentina!
Sounds like I problem I had on my mk4 golf pd115 one of the injectors wasn't at capacity so was causing a bad start especially in the mornings someone with a good diagnostics will be able to run an injector test
my passat b5.5 highline pd130 estate is on 218k and still going strong. as long you service it and look after the engine it can go for 350k+ easly .
Tandem Pump or Tandem Pump Gasket classic when parked on a hill. Fuel drains back into tank.
+fluke Nine I did do that previously but it's had a head on it since so might take a look and make sure it's not leaking. I did notice a bit of oil on the back of the engine the other day, kinda below that, could have been diesel!
fluke Nine Yep, or even the rubber hoses from filter to tandem pump. Is the bellhousing covered in diesel? Does it leave rainbows when it rains?
Nah I haven't noticed it leaving a mark on the road at all, it's parked on gravel overnight though so tricky to spot if it was leaking anything. I remember when I used to park it on the street and the tandem pump was leaking before it would leave diesel drops all over the street. Was quite bad so battled fixing it last year, think I even did a vlog haha. It never had any starting issues then though!
DannyDC2 It might be worth pulling the rocker cover and looking at cam lobes and followers. Can you get vagcom to see injector values? Was the torsion value set with vagcom after the new head/timing belt?
My tandem pump snapped one of its teeth off and ended up filling my sump with diesel, check to make sure you're not gaining oil (diesel) otherwise you'll be up shit creek like I was
Nice Casio! I have the same one 😄
Heater plugs ?? Battery ???? Both these can be tested . I was watching a ring video and who screamed around the corner YES Danny . Statesidesupercars 5/nov /17 8.59 minutes . You looked like you where trying . I always use 2 buckets 1 to rinse the sponge . And use stuff from Valeters pride they do the lot . Looks a canny spot you have got . Much easy when it's handy will you get some of the crew from the old garage in with you ???Can you get me some metal detecting on the farm LOL . Is it up our way Bishop Auckland ??? Great video Quality and video .
new glow plugs and nice new battery.
My scruffy 05 vw bora pd130 has 288k on it, It's been the most reliable car I've ever owned and gets abuse all the time but don't bother washing it much lol
Cycle the glow plugs a couple of times before cranking
With those shields, you felt jerks when changing gears?
It also gives me a pull, on the highway, if I keep the speed, I release the accelerator, and I step on the accelerator again. it's a pull of less than a second
a greeting
Injector seals leaking fuel in to cylinder when it’s switched off has to clear unburnt fuel before it starts hence all the black smoke on start up had same issue on 2 of my pds your only about 40 mins from me if need any help
That cold start bit was quite funny Dan haha, have you checked the glow plugs? They are not that expensive although a bit hard to take them out if they have been there for a long time and they can crack sometimes, its bad when that happens...
Man silver cars just dont look dirty, until you start washing them, then you realise how much shit they had on the paint.
Yeah glow plugs have been done recently. I didn't think it was as dirty as it was either!
dear Danny, nhf but we have ferries in croatia that start w less smoke :D
I live in Harrogate and the one at the other side of the little wonder round about towards ripon is £6
You have been hibernating :)
Glow plugs and starter motor, check all earth connections.. thats where i would start. smokes ok, its all the un burnt diesel let though when trying to start.
and fuel filter change, check fuel is getting to the injectors. Then try clean the injectors ruclips.net/video/iq_ZGh1KEec/видео.html
+Iso Confused all done dude.
+Iso Confused access on the starter is limited to say the least
in that case fuel sender unit under the rear seat, get a used one for £20 off ebay. All so you can use ROSS TECHS VDCS, laptop and cheap ebay obd cable. You can then see the fuel going to the injectors, you can see the starter crank etc. Also have you scanned it at all? Have you checked it isnt a wiring issue, if its same as other VAgs wire harness under the abs unit is a know bad point. also check you ecu connections, and check the known dodgy alternator wire near the gearbox.
Been subscribed since the crash and only just found out the Audi wheels were silver... ahah
Hahah, yeah I don't clean it often enough.
Awesome vid dan
Have u tried changing the glowplugs ?
Try the injectors too had problems with pd motors at work found that one of the injectors had a weak spray
About the spinning hubs when undoing the center bolt on the wheelhub: erhm, just put the car in gear?
5:04 "bodgie bastard corner"?
Hmm intermittent fault!
As a guess I'd say weak wire signal or faulty pump.
Nice video mate !! Could the starting problem be glow plugs ?? It probs isn't just thought I would chuck that one out there as some diesels have problems with them !
My PD150 has starting issues when it's cold, too, sometimes struggles to turn over so much the CD player loses memory, and it'll trigger the alarm (it actually does similar when it's warm sometimes, too, or if you stall it). It threw up a CEL the other day and VAGCOM said it was the glow control module. Bit of looking into it, and it seems they're quite common (they're just a relay, effectively), and the glow plug wiring harness is common to going too - on Leons, at least - so that's where i'd be looking. Surely it won't be fuel related if it's firing up fine when its warm, afterall?
I’m sure Mr Adam Ivell will appreciate the plug 😂
Spline bits are called XZN, also known as triple-square.
+InitialDave everyday is a school day! Spline bits will do though until the next time I have to do the driveshsfts.
VAG love the bloody things, so you'll probably find yourself cracking those bits out again before then. Still, they don't chew up like internal hexes, I'll give them that.
And sometimes referred to as 12-point. VAG do indeed love them.
My biggest frustration is PQ35 droplinks - triple square are used for counterholds for the nut but they're so small they round out almost instantly. I like triple-square for larger sizes but in small sizes each spline tip is so small they just corrode and turn to dust.
timmccreery81 the issue is that a 12pt is usually taken to mean a bi - hexagonal form, rather than the triple square, so while they do have 12 points in the form, the profile is different, and they're not actually compatible.
Luckily, it's rarely an issue, as a triple square is usually internally wrenching, while a bihexagonal is externally wrenching.
Totally agree, I was referring to internal.
Interestingly though the outer driveshaft bolts on my A3 are 12-point/bi-hexagonal and the sockets I use for them are referred to as 12-point, not bi-hexagonal.
I can see why your highly qualified in detailing now. More detailingNVQlevel3 rated content and tips please ;-P
LONG LIVE THE AUDI! #goodcar
Yeaaa good car 😎😉
Try glow plug relay had the same problem on a astra
try pumping the primer bulb fore you start it, if it starts easier then its air getting in, my old 306 was leak off pipes and the pump letting air in slightly overnight, , no idea with a tdi though
sneekeruk I
No primer bulb to pump on a PD 1,9 mate.
Diesels not had primer bulbs for a long time
"This is what you wanna see right?"
hahah
Sounds like there’s no fuel going in, injectors/seals or fuel system issue. Not sure if you can hear the pump working clearly or not in an Audi with all the sound deadening
Am I better off cleaning my car with a sponge or a brick?
+Rhys Koschewoj lambswool brick 👌
Things that might be worth looking at are Fuel temp sensor or coolant temp sensor
Rodknocks Mod Shop East...
@DannyDC2 maybe injectors? I've got similar problem with mine A4, cold start is terrible...
Glow plugs and injector seals possibly bud.
about the starting issue,there is a glow plug relay that gives that problem...where i am from i've been working on Audi's a while and came across that problem...also,is the glow plug symbol flashing or staying on while you drive...one more thing,get the car hooked up to a scan tool that issue might produce a fault code without turning on the check engine light
Yeah I have heard of that giving similar problems, but as you say they normally log codes/flash lights. I have no codes and no lights, so I don't think it's anything electrical. The car died on the way to the MOT station this morning. Not fun.
i know for a fact you all have better fuel as compared to where i am from so it can't be a blocked cat converter/particle filter on your exhaust...Audi better get a solution to this problem cause there are a lot of there vehicles in my country giving that problem...if you get the solution to it can you let me know?
When were the glow plugs last changed as I know those PD100, 130 and 150 are pigs to get going if the glow plugs are weak
+Kieran howard about 2 weeks ago 😂
I think it maybe glow plugs
When you park it on a hill the diesel inside the engine goes back in to the fuel tank and tha happened with my Focus estate MK1 diesel
Maybe just Glow Plugs? They don´t set a Fault usually on these older Audi´s
New place should be called the dc pad 😂
Pump the rubber air bulge at the high pressure fuelpump, if it starts easier after you did that, its got air in the system. Lucky you its just an Audi, I had to do it on a Scania once after a new fuelpump was fitted, 20 minutes of squeezing that fucking thing
Did you have to remove the driveshaft guards to? I found the 6mm hex on top a total pain.
+CarAndMechanical nope! Managed to squeeze them out. I don't have any under trays though.
Hah what's an undertray - I'm considering making a full car undertray on mine...but then I remember all the oil leaks/drips
I know the exact bolts you're referring to. I had to remove the guard a few times while doing downpipe work and the top-most bolt is a git.
Yea that downpipe/cat is a total pain I had to use 3 extensions one of which is my best purchase ever, a flexibit that's very taught.
try a coolant temp sensor/switch . have you had it scanned with vcds
Good choice not doing the brake lines, they can be a pain!
Nick JR Nearly every VAG I've worked on has the same issue - the union nut seizes onto the coating of the hard line. Spanner it too much and it literally twists the hard line along its length rather than just release and spin freely.
The “spline things” are Torx bolts trust me I’m doing mechanics at college I’m basically ed China
They are not Torx they are triple square. Torx will strip those.
squarrl didn’t really inspect it just looked like Torx
Those hose ain't loyal.
please at least put a wheel under the car when you are working on it. spent too much time in hospital. safety first. cheers for the video and please keep up the good work. agree with autobarn. might have to be dc2autobarn
Aww yiss, my audi is way too high looking at yours ahah, mind telling me what coilovers and wheels you have pal? :)
BenXL I'm on ST springs on my B7 and I have a one finger arch gap so I'd say he's either on some seriously low springs or coilovers.
Wheels are BBS CH, I'd guess at 18-inch based on the tyre sidewall looking similar to my 18s with 235/40 tyres.
I know it sounds silly but have you tried another battery on it? I had the same problem with my Beemer on cold mornings. Wouldn't fire until it was warmer in the afternoon. Sounded similar to that
Pre supply pump!
