As a PSV technician apprentice these videos are such a good source of knowledge, you should see if colleges would let you come in and do live demos I go to GTG in Wolverhampton
Hey buddy thanks for the comment. My videos get used by Bristol College and remit training as it is, I've enquired about a teaching qualification but it's too much time for me to do currently. I'm planning on running courses in our workshop in Manchester when that gets set up next year. We will have a DAF XF set up for fault diagnostics and I will most probably record the sessions as courses for people who can't attend......that's the big 5 year plan anyway ha ha ha
Considering it wasnt running and the cooling system was being pressurised on cranking there was only so many sauces Holy moly that bloody injector just wrote that engine off ( rebuild or otherwise) That injector line blanking tool is wicked!
Cheers for the comment buddy. Oh it was an odd one for sure mate but soon figured it out 👍 Shame about the injector isn't it. That blank was an old injector tube welded up lol
I enjoyed the third injector diagnosis, great work mate. That definitely did cause the no start, but for the cam crank sycho code, guess that was only there to complicate the diagnosis.
Hey, thanks for the comment. Yes, it's amazing how certain things can lead you down the wrong path, you then start expecting the worst. It's all about being as least invasive as possible until you know which path you're going down 👍😎
Nice video. Too bad about the broken injector. the engine did still run nicely after the injector was replaced. I can remember when an old colleague of mine replaced an injector on an Iveco cursor he put the o ring in the wrong position which made the engine go haywire, I warned him.😂😂
Thanks buddy. It's odd how well the engine runs after the injector is replaced. You could see the damage to the piston and it's apparently GOT compression issues....yet....runs well with a new injector 😂😂😂😂 Oh it's crazy how all these O rings are diffrent colours these days ha ha ha what happend to black one lol
Is there anything you cannot fix DAF related! You are a genius. Do you ever take on any work on trucks which are not DAFs, or you know the make so you just stick with it
Hey buddy. It's methodical thinking buddy. I plan on teaching it to everyone who cares when I can get a workshop open! I try not to work with other manufacturers' products as I can't keep up with people with Paccar products as it is. I've 2 buses this week both with Paccar engines in to sort too 🫣. I just stick to Daf really. Although I do put camera kits in other trucks if the customer wants like 40 dafs fitting with 4-camera DVR kits and has a few Mercedes or Renault trucks too lol
Enjoy your videos! Work on fleet of KW's and Peterbilts in US. Funny you mention internal injector soft deposits. They (Paccar) try to say it is just a problem in North America, no issues in Europe.... Had an EPA 21 loose an injector tip with 3,000 miles, ending up getting complete engine and after treatment. Put in quite a few sets of the three hole armature plate injectors in EPA21's along with the CLI updated software, but still misfires after awhile. Never ends! New style injector is supposed to be available to us this fall. Latest issue has been main bearing bolts breaking. I think we are just going to switch back to Cummins. Also, ironic that compression test wouldn't have lead you to #3. Uncontrolled fueling is a wildcard to that test! I having been using my Picoscope with a pulse sensor @ DOC inlet temp sensor to identify weak and misfiring cylinders.
hey steve thanks for the comment. As for soft deposits, the current state of things over here is just as bad as over with you! i could pull up about 20 emails from owners who have had enough of the new product, all I can do is direct them to DAF UK to get their issues resolved these days but the whole world is in the boat currently on the soft deposits issue. Yes the recall we have here on the bolts is under 300km change them and over 300km leave them in. i do miss Cummins ha ha ha as for the compression test i take the computer is referencing the cranking current from the starter motor and cylinder speed via RPM. One way to fool you I suppose as a first-look test.........i think id have taken a page out of mr.brandon stecklers pressure pulse waveform analysis if we were going down the pieco route but then I find it amazing how the PCI ECU can detect contribution and miss fire issues itself!
@@TRUCKTECHUK Appreciate the reply, confirmed my suspicions! Lots of great videos/uses for Pico on the tube, just not very practical to go in cylinder on most diesels that don't have glow plugs. I used it in exhaust because that is how Cummins, Scania, and most likely others do misfire detection. I use it more for CAN issues, nice that Pico will decode messages so can find module that is speaking crap! Seen the MY24 CARB MX-13? Has a 48V generator off the flywheel housing to power the after treatment grid heater to heat the twin SCR catalysts with an additional $15K price tag. Engine is also Miller cycle.
@stevesauerland223 hey it's no problem buddy. I, unfortunately, don't have the time to do anything deep with picoscope anymore.....1) because I can't afford my own 😂😂😂 and 2) I've not found anything other than signal analysis that I've needed it for that my handheld can't do BUT as you say CAN ID would be brilliant. I'd love to get into sniffing the data as I've sooooo much stuff I want to develop for injecting the data into the modules BUT ITS TIME!!!! My biggest and greatest enemy! I don't even have time to see what new systems are being added to trucks 😕
Great video, i was actualy quite shocked at the injector exploding on instagram. Not even a week later we had ab NGD with all new generation injectors in and long behold same thing happend to zylinder number two. It got a new head, new piston, liner, Turbo and EAS box (all under waranty)
Hey, thanks for the comment. It's not the first one or the last unfortunately 😕. I had a few go on NGD that I couldn't film originally. Thank God for warranty!
That injector was mega! What is the outcome now with engine, owner going to see what happens with it? Top video though Russell! Wouldn’t mind a weeks work with you! Definitely a good guy to learn off. 👌👌
Hey Benny, it was interesting, the injector pipe was a bit hot like lol I will ask him this week and see what's going on with it now. Looking at the piston, it might be running but I think any real heat in the cylinder and it will soon pick up on the thrust side of that piston on the skirt/Ringland. Ha ha ha I should do ride-outs in the van! My end goal when I open this DAF workshop in the north-west is for any technicians who want to do diagnostics can come attend some sort of evening course thing once a month and we can run like a course on PCI and EAS-4 or EBS-3......I think it would be cool 😎
@@TRUCKTECHUK I think with that engine, once she gets hot with a bit of weight behind her it may end in tears. I used to work for a truck company with Dafs and now on coaches with predominantly Volvo based coaches. But I’d be very interested in doing some courses, as private fleet training ends at the door, and in the game you need to keep current. I’d make the trip up from south wales defiantly.
Yep, I'm with you on that one too buddy. I have got a coach to go to this week with fuel injector faults....thankfully a PACCAR ENGINE in it lol Information is the key to diagnostics. I always said how can you diagnose a fault without all the information about the system. I think for people who couldn't make it I'd just stream the course or whatever it will be classed as lol but yes........need a massive workshop to put all this work in next I think!
@@TRUCKTECHUK agree with information, we use Texar as a diagnostic tool, but as the way with small fleets, it’s out of date by two years as it’s “not worth it” 🙄. The reason for the texar is for Yutong Coaches, which we have two of, and they go wrong alot and Texar was recommended by the manufacturer. But the Jaltest looks a very good piece of kit. 👌
@bennycovelly960 I suppose it depends on what age vehicles you work on. I find people who think diagnostic updates aren't worth it are living in the past. Look at jaltest now, all the dealer tools available for remote programming of most ECUS on vehicles, remote diagnostics from a help desk for faults you can't fix and the option to include all the dealer wiring and information all rolled into one tablet. I don't even need a davie-4 anymore with jaltest.
Hey Sean, thanks for the comment and for watching buddy. It was last week so I've not had a chance to speak to him concerning the injector or the correctional value. Hopefully, I will have an update this week for everyone 🙏
always a good watch mate very cool injector i have seen them bulb on the end but never brake. can i ask why you didnt use your repair kit for the adblue pump?
Had somthing like that happen to front loader engine with injector on a machine and only found it after pulling injector to do compression test 🤣 . Still like Dafs good to work on and was brought up round them so stuck to them. See you milwaukee fan cant beat them soo much cheaper than strap on😳
Hey buddy thanks for the comment, I take it the machine didn’t run either! Ha ha ha I don’t mind DAF, I find some good ideas with component placements on Volvo/Renaults but when you have been around DAF products for so long……..I try and steer clear of other manufactures 😅 Oh I love Milwaukee, anything to make my life easier or save time! Can you imagine doing everything with hand tools….id still be doing that job now lol
Have a dream to start my truck and trailer repair business but I need a advice from you boss as a legend, I am a specialist Daf, man truck, I know mechanical and auto electrion..
Hi buddy. Any advice on what my first year in business was like can be found in this video here 👍 ruclips.net/video/qMAeRR9l1XA/видео.htmlsi=7Dd7olcI5eAmPZfS
Mate I was in the same boat as you, completely didn’t believe in them, thought they were some sort of made up fictional fluid till DAFs repair process to fix NGD was an injector flush process. I’ve physically seen the results before and after. Don’t get me wrong you can have mechanical issues with fuel system components but if I told you for 30 quid DAF sell a fluid that could clean your injectors due to wax soft deposit build up in the fuel injection system or you can go spend £4000 on injectors what would you do?
Hey Alan it depends on the year. I use the service bulletin from daf so FX-9 is euro-6 and I think everything else is on PDSK now buddy. I'd have to look on RMI again to double check but every DAF dealer carries it due to the issues with NGD and having to supply it with new trucks
