Great video guys. Love to see you working methodically through a fault and the care with which you fix the issues given the age and state of the car. You have to wonder at the level of professionalism or training of the mechanics who looked at this before. Well done!

Thanks Paul, I blame the way they train mechanics now, they are only trained as fitters now and the majority haven't a clue when it comes to basic diagnostic work. Most garages just play parts darts now and hope they fix it eventually. Thanks again for watching Paul.

Great video. I've bought a c4 and there's a hidden esp fault, so hopefully this is the way to get rid of it

Thanks for posting this great tutorial,well appreciated for your kind time and effort, please post more, Bless 🙂😇👍

Will attempt cleaning the terminals at the fusebox tomorrow, just had the clutch replaced on our 1.6 manual and because I released the handbrake manually to tow it there, it now keeps throwing up warnings, have had a neighbour round with his diagnox program and cleared the error codes, motor works fine switch operates so must be a bit of rust, was working fine before clutch went and has been sat about 6 or 7 weeks

Fancy doing the clutch on my e39 bmw 🤣🤣 great video guys keep up the good work.

Hi brilliant video really enjoyed this as ive just purchased a 2009 c4 picasso 1.6 THP automatic exclusive model with panoramic sunroof 1 x owner purchased new at a cost of £22,000 as he had the car specd to his own preference with alloy wheels metallic paintwork etc only done 34,000 miles full dealership service history serviced every 12 months, however the owner became ill so the car has not been used for the past year only covered 53 miles !! sadly he passed away so the car came up for sale, mot has just expired and there are two warning lights showing on dash ABS sensor and handbrake faulty so im getting the car collected and delivered then my mechanic is going to plug in and see what it comes up with ? gearbox is fine showing no faults i purchased this car for just £950 so im hoping shudnt be too much wrong the discs are a little rusty car has been started up on a regular basis and moved just on the driveway so after watching your video has given me a bit more confidence that ive snapped up a little bargain and wont cost too much to get back on the road ? any advice on the two faults showing on dash that i mentioned thanks in advance !!

Still having a problem with mine on the same faults autobox and auto handbrake. I cleaned up the fuse box on the battery and changed the battery. It worked a while basically 5 miles then all the faults came back..What I doing wrong, I had a continuity meter all over tne battery top fuse box and it looks like proper continuity on the board and on the fuses...Any ideas ? I now have a diagbox and deleted all those faults codes today all saying ECU'S faults,,then they all came back

I'm having a problems with the automatic parking brake not working... left car a couple of hours and it worked again but as soon as i drove off the fault came back

Is this the same engine/trans as in their vans? Jumpy/Expert etc?

does it program injectors

My dads berlingo 2012 semi auto is intermittently saying gearbox fault and not shifting in auto……. Manual mode changes up to 3rd. Switching off and removing the key clears it. Codes are p0504 and 171ah/5914 refer to oem information for code description which I can’t find anywhere. I know p0504 is brake pedal position incoherence between the two brake sensors so could the brake pedal switch cause the shifting fault

Bit sceptical about your scenario. Car and gearbox been looked at by a professional garage,leaves wiring lose , etc and doesn't have access to a OBD reader, then leaves the car in a position where it's stashed for a year ! I know you tubers need entertainment content but it's a bit sad when you're pumping a sponsored OBD reader and following this a little light sanding of fuse terminals and hey presto,it's fixed.
