Paul got the wrong end of the stick with Martin Simms - top tip.. Martin clearly says 'when pushing the piston back'.. and yes, of course you'd close the nipple to prevent any air getting drawn into the system.. great videos lads..

@martinsimms7840

Well that's my 2 minutes of fame haha. Yes that's what I meant, once you crack open the bleed nipple you can usually push the piston back in quite easily using just thumb pressure - as soon as piston is pushed home close bleed nipple. No need for an assistant to touch the brake pedal and no air should have entered the system, just top up resovouir to replace the bit of fluid that was pushed out of the caliper.

I have done the oil filter change on my 2.5 TDi 20 times, and I have never needed to remove the front. Pop off the engine cover (if there)Just unscrew and move the servo reservoir. Then use an long extension and a 32 socket on the filter top. Reach down and change it. A 3 min job.

Hey edd and Paul, the tip of releasing the bleed nipple to compress the brake calliper piston is done at the beginning of the job. That being, remove old pads, release nipple, push piston back in completely, retighten nipple, replace pads, repeat for other side. Then bleed the system. As stated, this way removes any degraded fluid, stops the master reservoir overflowing and reduces chances of seal inversion and makes the job of pushing the piston in very easy. I was taught this back on the farm in my youth. In the old days of steel bodies

For the brake hose: the rubber hose is crimped in the fitting. The crimp is air tight. Adding heat basically causes the rubber to burn (and expand to a gas).... the chain reaction keeps going until the fitting explodes. It's actually super handy for seized flex lines. Put on the safety face shield and ear muffs, add heat, and once she goes bang, the fitting usually comes apart.

Thank you for this Edd. Us Alfa Romeo Giulietta owners have been living under the impression that our cars had the worst positioned filters for servicing in the world, with the oil filter requiring removal of the drivers side front wheel and a hatch in the arch to access, and the air filter being behind the front bumper and requiring removal of the front undertray which is secured by a ridiculous number of bolts. It's insane on any vehicle to have the oil filter that inaccessible, but on a commercial vehicle you have to think it's a deliberate choice to scam customers in to getting servicing done at a dealer.

5:05 - Not exactly a Top Tip here... I've never used flushing oil, but when doing a change I always left the drain plug out after removing the old stuff and tipped in the remains of the previous 5 litre container - usually about half a litre of brand new oil that I hadn't needed (the sump + filter held just over 4 litres so there was always a bit left over). Whilst obviously not a full engine flush, it was still satisfying to see this old but unused oil pushing the very last of the horrible black sludge out of the drain hole. Using the oil left over from the previous change meant that I wasn't introducing any harsh cleaning agents, disturbing any bearings, or risking damaging any flexible seals. When everything running out was bright yellow/green and clean, I then felt a lot happier about swapping the filter and filling up with new oil, knowing that it wouldn't be clogged with last year's sludge as soon as the engine turned over. Every little helps...🙂

In most engines it's a pretty short trip from oil filler to drain plug, pouring some clean oil in isn't doing anything like s flush, your just, if you are lucky getting a bit more oil out of the sump, not out of the oil ways, pump, or anywhere else. You'd probably do better just slightly reducing the oil change intervals.

@Elli P if there's still oil dripping out I've always done the same as you. I get where Hector is coming from as you won't remove much additional ditty oil apart from a skim at the bottom of the sump but as you say, every little helps! Another good tip is to drop the oil when it's murderously hot and thin. Just wear gloves and cover your arms in something that won't readily soak up oil or something you can remove very quickly should the need arise. An old jumper or overall arm tucked into a glove can be handy if access means you might get slathered in hot oil otherwise!

I change my oil and I never do that

"Ease of routine maintenance" was clearly not high on the list of design criteria for that vehicle. The designers should be forced to change the switches, oil and filter at least twice, in a hurry. Seriously, there are oil analysis services available for aero engines. They run the used oil through spectrometers, &c., looking for unwelcime developments like the appearance of bearing or cam lobe metal in it. Have you any experience with these services? I have heard the opinion that car engines in normal operation generate too much metal to make the testing worthwhile. (Too much noise to see a signal.) What's your opinion?

@aleksandaraleksic4067

2 жыл бұрын

It's a car engine in a van it has to be deep in. To determine the change time of oil usually TBN (Total Base Number) is determined, on large (truck, bus and larger) engines where a lot of oil is used and thus it makes sense to do the test. Spectrometry is used to indicate the wear of certain components, again on large engines where components are expensive. The car engine actually wears less than the aero engine (the aero engine's life is expressed in hours after all, not thousands of hours though). The best application of spectrometry, radiation or other oil test is in engine development where we need to determine component durability.

That oil filter is just crazy to access. Good tip on the heat shrink u joint, I've always just used electrical tape.

As the owner of my own workshop I find it incredibly interesting seeing the inventive ways Ed finds to test certain components, however I think its important to manage peoples expectations of their local workshop, it is totally unrealistic to expect the guys in your local garage to go out, source plastic jugs, spend the time ( prob a few hours in reality) fitting components into them setting up a scope and there is no way any tech worth his money would waste his brew whilst it was hot. Only to end up saying well we don’t actually know exactly what the system really expects so we’ll change it out anyway. I’m very lucky in the respect I have a friend who is very much like Ed and enjoys faffing and owns a pico scope. So if I get a fault that the code reader is a bit vague about I can give him a call, he comes down, we have a breakfast roll and a brew, he has access to an online database of expected signals on various sensors on various vehicles so he can see what is expected of that sensor and he knows how to test it at the ecu plug so this proves the sensor and its wiring. If a sensor is bad at the ecu you simply test it at the sensor end if it’s still bad then the sensor is shot if it’s good then the wiring needs looking at. I know I’m really lucky having someone like this who can help me for the cost of a Butty leaving me free to carry on earning money for the garage.

That little oscilloscope is cool! 💥👍🏼👍🏼

Informative videos and you add in Paul, good quality. Glad to see that you're pissed of that fat used car sale guys. Keep producing, we are all learning. From Christchurch New Zealand. Thanks Terry

Top tip of the week. Never watch Edd China's Workshop Diaries while you drive. I did and the result was good and bad. The bad? I died in a car accident. The good? They DO have the internet in Heaven. And I am telling everyone up here about your great channel, Edd. So, hopefully, we will help you get to that magic 1 million subscribers number. ☮

#syntium - brilliant program Edd, especially the money saving tips for checking parts before simply replacing them, your saving everyone money and saving the planet at the same time!! 😀 Just wondered as you have dealt with converting an ice cream van to electric and you're getting the good old trusty, or should I say 'rusty', range rover back to its former glory could consider looking at an air-cooled vehicle next such as the VW beetle, Citroen 2CV 4x4 Sahara or a Tatra perhaps or even a Trabant 601... food for thought, Cheers.

This show is just fantastic. It's even better than Wheeler dealer!

For them who wondered whats the text at 31:08 min : Don't worry Edd, 4.3 million men in the UK also suffer from this problem... And at 31:23 it says: Well, whatever it takes. You always seem to come up with the best solutions.

Nice video, Edd! Didn't expected the oil filter placement

Me encanta como trabaja EDD CHINA.
