It's hard to find an 'honest bod' weilding spanners, but you sir have broken the mold and saying how it is savable when others could'nt be bothered and just said scrap it. Good luck for the future!
Absolutely top man sorting that BMW. Saved the owner a fortune in scrapping the car. I'll keep you in mind if anything needed for my BMW as you are only a few miles away in Rutherglen.
@@mrautoservices7354 thanks for replying. If it’s not too much to ask can u make a video just diagnosing with the test bulb more in-depth? I would truly appreciate it.
@@mrautoservices7354 I got a question for u I have a n20 engine with a bad eccentric shaft it’s seems seized won’t budge can I manually turn the engine at the crankshaft to get the valves to close so I can start the engine and just keep the valvetronic motor disconnected. The eccentric shaft won’t let the engine start being to valves in the open position.
Very well done, it’s great to see a young bloke working hard and doing a very good job. You have good skills and knowledge and are not afraid to buy the tools you need. You can’t play at diagnostics you invest in knowledge and tools or you fail. Well done again
Just found your channel and subscribed. Its so nice to see someone doing proper diagnosing and fault finding leading to a proper repair rather then the usual route of replacing parts and hoping for the best.
It is scary how poorly so many mechanics are now. I had a bad vibration in my 1990 Volvo 240 estate. One shop could not diagnose. Another got it right, but could not install a U joint correctly.
Been watching south main auto for years and always wished we had someone like that in my area, wish i found you earlier as i wouldn't have had to trade in my merc b class as garages couldn't fix it, having someone like you in my area makes me feel very privileged, just wished we had more technicians like you out there, well done on finding the problem to this one as it wasn't an easy one.
Subscribed a few videos ago, top marks pup.👋 Great methodical working, and love how you found the wiring diagrams. I've been trying to get some for a Renault Espace iV to sort out a few electrical niggles. Again well done again.
That FRM is a pain in the arse. Hard to even reconnect the battery on a 3 series without it turning it into a Christmas tree. Had to have mine redone twice. If you read this Ryan. How do you prevent heavy sparking on the negative post? Ignition off all switches off but still happens.
👍🏻FRM3 eeprom is repaired via extracting the data flash partition from the processor and creating a a new config for the eep partition in the microcontroller via the data read from the Dflash section. For many years i had to do this manually but now many tools automatically do this, they partition the processor and read write automatically the repair. If your car contains an FRM2 then this repair is different and requires a data set from another vehicle,finished on the car via coding with an appropriate tool (i.e k+can with appropriate Sw)
Fantastic piece of work Ryan.. I do wonder about the training 'technicians' get at main dealers .. I think there may be a bit of 'brand' indoctrination going on that causes a bias about how good their brand is compared with others. Cars are cars, even Rolls Royce's go wrong, (regularly from my experience in the 1970's.)
I’ve been looking for someone like you for years. My e61 hasn’t run since green flag rescued me over a faulty alternator. It’s currently been at bmw for 2.5 years.
excellent! Where do you get the EEPROM codes? Does it come together with the Purchased software/Hardware? It must be a large database for all kind of vehicles....
The point about voltage is a good one its like a ghost voltage its there but its not and has caught me out loads of times as a chap once told me nine times out of ten it's a bad connection check the basics first 🙂
Do you get many electric faults on the BMW 3 series as it's a very low car tax bracket in 2.0l d automatic at about year 2013 and impressive mpg and I was mulling getting one?
The big issue with BMWs is the service interval being too large. I have 2 and had to put an engine into one about 7 years ago as the oil was only changed every 20k miles or so and the cars computer and garage said all was okay until it wasn’t.
Footwell module, They go corrupt when the battery is low or completely discharged. Once corrupted they will sometimes loose communication & body electrical functions lights windows etc👍
Hello, quick question, how to get hella licence? There is no info about it. How to register for it and how much is monthly or annually subscription costs? Thanks
The kind of mechanic which knows how to diagnose and fix, not just change parts and guess.
Customer probably used the indicators and overloaded the electrics. Apparently it's a BMW thing.

@@mrautoservices7354 so load testing with a bulb is more accurate?

The dealers quoted me 1000 euro to replace the footwell module on my e90, I got it done for 250. Charge well as you can fix what very few can.

Jez, I watch a lot of car repair videos...this was something else..brilliant!
Why would you ever take your car to garage again when you hear these stories and watch this fella who knows what he's doing. ?
Fantastic work ethic, and seriously good knowledge of what you’re doing…top job.👍👌

Nice if not reassuring to see the next generation of auto spark repairing a car at the roadside..with complex faults well done sir 👍
I really enjoy your logical process - and your Scottish accent ! My Mum was from Uddingston
Superb diagnosis and troubleshooting. Great to see that you didn't resort to the parts cannon as many do!
Thanks for watching
Excellent fault finding Chap, more power to you !

Good job hope you get more work mate an honest technician
Almost the best mate
Thanks 👍
Very nice bit of fault finding and repair, such a pity so many mechanics can't do this as they've got so used to just swapping things out.
Thanks for watching
What a cracking episode you are at the top of your game Buddy 👍👍👍👍👍

Well done, proper clever
Good job fella ,doing a good turn for people 👍

Amazing diag work. Where did you learn to do the ECU cloning and coding. I've been trying to find a course but can't find anything. Love the video.
Great job!
Hi Loving the channel you are a clever and resourceful guy 👍
Good honest lad.🎉
Your tech knowledge is amazing well done
Brilliant video, not many mechanics could do what you do
Master of your trade well done pal
Id love to work with somebody like you. A true master of car electronics.
Excellent job, well done
That was nice work mate, fair enjoyed watching that, subscribed 😉
Thanks for the sub!
You’re the man
You've made some investment in your tools and of course it never stops. Great vid well done.

that wire corroding is common with starter cable next to it at the strut top i use that temporary till i can get the car into workshop
Great video and diag , where did you do your training ? cheers
I completed mastertech training whilst at a dealership back in 2016
Thanks for watching
Wow impressive .were do u get your schematic diagrams
great repair.

Hi just came across your channel and subscribed.
Brilliant work.
What version of the Topdon were you using using. As the wiring diagram are great
Hi the topdon doesn’t come with diagrams mate, The software for the diagrams is hella hgs 👍
The point about voltage is a good one its like a ghost voltage its there but its not and has caught me out loads of times as a chap once told me nine times out of ten it's a bad connection check the basics first 🙂
You will have great success in the future
Great video 👍😁
What is the average hourly charge for a mobile auto electriction in the North West of England. I have electrical issues with a kit car.
Well impressed.

Wish you could do my lighting cable fault on my day running light on my 2018hyundaii10 1.2 gls
What was your learning pathway please?
Where are you based? I would like my vehicle diagnosed by you
wow great video ,so I take it the FRM module lost its memory from the E-prom because of the flat battery what does FRM stand for
Footwell module, They go corrupt when the battery is low or completely discharged. Once corrupted they will sometimes loose communication & body electrical functions lights windows etc👍
Great video mate, can I ask where you get your loaded test bulbs from?
Just a normal H7 headlight bulb
Its just normal h7 bulbs with holders i have made up 👍

A low battery will corrupt a bmw eprom?
Yes 👍
