Not all angels have wings, some come with oil stained hands and a mobile mechanics van!! You are a legend and saved over £3k not having to get new injectors and dpf filter as some garages were telling me when in fact some guitar wire and a can of dpf cleaner sorted the faults as it was just a blocked pipe to the sensor. Thankyou thankyou thankyou. 😁

I am having similar issues, is this the pipe at the top of the DPF or both of them? I've got a can of cleaner to try this weekend.

I'm a breakdown driver for all the major clubs (Agent). I always tell the members to look at your channel or better still get the garage to look. Amazing how many outside temp faults there are. Love this channel keep it up.

Well done on fixing problems, got a 2012 vivao cdti that had oil dilution code even after oil change wasn't till my local garage looked into it they found someone had turn off service intervals in the comp as soon as they got it back on at set to 10,000 I've not had that code come back, keep up the good videos

Really! This is crazy, someone smashed my wing mirror off, I taped it back together while the insurance company of the driver who did the damage prolonged the repair. They finally agreed six months later to repair. During that time, I had both turbo’s replaced, DFE cleaned twice, both Nox sensors, and about 2 other seanors changed and this could have been caused by the wing mirror! Wing mirror has now been changed but now I need a new EGR valve! I’m giving the insurance company a call back today! 😂

Never heard of a Traffic Tree! But seriously, you'll never be out of work, you have good brains.

Fair play to you mate,cracking job an we'll talked through,wish I had mechanic to your calibre near me I've probably been to 5 garages about why dpf code keeps coming every few hundred mile up but no one can give me explanation,well done again though my man👍👍

That poxy exhaust back pressure sensor pipe is a pain in the arse, guitar wire is exactly how I do it 9/10 it works , I had a pipe right out of the manifold but the carbon build up in the pipe screw hole was like concrete I ended up with a tiny spike to knock it out. Bloody stupid idea really all the 1.6 Nissans the same. Cracking video 👍

I always direct anyone with dpf faults to watch your videos…I’m in lots of facebooks groups with people complaining of dpf issues, some say dpf cleaning doesn’t work, I correct them and point them to watch your vids. If you ran a masterclass, I’d be the first to join. Keeping those DPFs clean and working as they should! Whatever your being paid, it’s not enough. Your a star in my view.

Hi Jim, you put the information out there countless times. These people obviously never do an continued professional development. As a professional engineer I am required to keep studying as long as I am licensed. I watch your videos many times even though we don't have many diesels here in Canada.

Great Vid 👍 The Adblu/Urea system needs the Outside temperature in order to monitor cold freezing conditions and to know if and when to heat the Adblu supply line pipes which have an heater element wrapped around them. This stops the Adblu from freezing in the lines. I ve had a few Reno/Vauxhalls which have had this heater element fail .........forget which codes it puts up but the dealer usually keeps the pipe in stock as its a common failure.

Most don't know that pretty much 99% of all diesels trigger heated mirrors and rear demist on every regen, coded in, good indication when it's regening and won't stop until regen finishes. This must have something to do with the ambient temp sensor on the mirror surely. Great work

Jimmy another great video. Question "Oil Dilution" they use diesel to increase the temp in the DPF but how does it get in the oil. Maybe a video on the subject. Thanks again love the channel.

Brilliant 👍👍

You are the Best! Unfortunately we cannot buy Launch UK DPF cleaner in Europe sold only in UK so I try to use Motip DPF cleaner instead on my Suzuki Fingers crossed!

I've often thought this with Diesels, it would be so handy as a driver to know if the vehicle was in the middle of regen, like a symbol somewhere on the dash. We could continue driving then for a bit just to make sure it doesnt stop half way through etc.

The only other thing I would have done would have been to check the wires from the ECU to the ambient air temp sensor had good continuity and no resistance. I’ve seen the wires start to break between the A post and the door on some cars. Spot on otherwise 👍👍

Love Renaults for their insane wiring problems. Had a Megane that wouldn't start, spanner light on, the passenger window, blower motor and some other unrelated system didn't work. After spending hours of head scratching and dismantling/testing it turned out to be the wiper arm stalk that was faulty, even though the wipers still worked! swapped it out for a new one and hey presto car started and everything else sprang back into life!

Yes what is the dpf’s point! Collects all the soot and muck but every now and then it simply chucks it into the environment again on Regen.

Mate I absolutely love your vids, first class and really informative, I've been watching loads as I've a perplexing issue with the DPF on my XC-60, but this mirror temp sensor needing a new mirror sounds nuts to me... Even in the Volvo a new sensor from Volvo is £23... That's a huge amount to pay for what is a £3 thermocouple... I'm thinking of swapping the Volvo mirror sensor now as everything else looks fine, DPF 10mbar DPF temp looks like its working, Soot level is 51... but P2463(86) won't clear. 😕

Hey jimmy nice video's I love waching them Witch error tester you using ?

Got renault megane DCI 1.5 110 with 160,000 miles on it 2017 model (owned since 20,000). It developed a strange problem where sometimes it idles rough and seems quite down on mpg, It also displays check injection when driving with cruise control at a steady speed, usually about an hour or so after driving then quickly goes out, it has a momentary loss of power also. If I do a few hours drive then the message reappears to the point where anti pollution check comes up. I change pressure sensor for exhaust, engine light issue goes away for about 5,000 miles as errors were pressure sensor and EGT sensor volt too low. I check, voltages and datalog ok, battery recently changed also, as the battery genuinely died. Does regular long journeys. Oil changed always at around 7,000 - 8,000 miles only castrol gtx to the rn0720 spec and genuine filters, always do fuel filters on time too. Doesn't burn a drop oil or water. I'm an electrical and mechanical engineer, but not a mechanic. Have done a lot of diagnostics so far on it, detail on comments would be insane to list. But if I shared what I've done so far, I don't know if you could point me in the right direction plese, it's driving me up the wall now, as it's starting to do the same thing, but mild at the moment. Hasn't got to the point of an engine light. 30,000 miles ago it had a glow plug issue sooting up the EGR but this involved removing all the EGR system to clean it out, including fixing the exhaust pressure sensor. I don't know if this is something to do with timing perhaps also, timing belt is being done in the week so another thing eliminated perhaps.

I had same problem in Renault Mégane, After cleaning the dpf twice , the oil dilution still there, if u search oil dilution in live data , the dtc is there if it's above 10% , a service reset is required to reset it . Good job and thank you for all your video ❤

I know you’ve highlighted this door mirror sensor as an issue dozens of times on these vans, with door mirrors getting damaged regularly I’d move the sensor onto the A pillar or even the scuttle plate.

Hey Jimmy, love your videos mate. I’ve been watching them to diagnose a dpf issue diy. I’m getting 0mbar of differential pressure and 0mbar offset at idle and suspect this is abnormal. Can you confirm if I should have a reading at idle? Suspect cracked/holed sensor hose or faulty sensor is not prompting car to regen. Thanks
