Did our 2009 van today following your video many thanks 👍 Points to note for others... 1) it's easiest to remove the under engine tray (bolts in the wheel arches to drop the front down) so you can get to the black plastic drain tap easier from underneath 2) to find the black plastic drain tap to bleed the system just follow the pipework to the clutch body where its located 3) the master cylinder body needs a slight (reverse thread) clockwise turn from the engine bay with mole grips to release it from the bulkhead 4) bleeding...ours took 20 to 30 "three pumps and hold it down"... have two 250ml bottles of dot 4 on hand... 5) during bleeding keep topping up the reservoir to the max line throughout...we used one whole bottle of dot 4 plus some taken out of the system during bleeding Overall not too bad, give yourself a morning to be sure your not rushing.

Great video thanks. It definitely looks doable and appears very similar to our 2009 model. My issue is that the plastic cup that attaches to the pedal keeps wanting to work itself off, hence I've added a zip tie. Was that your problem too as I see you cut that off at the start? I also have some occasional clutch judder during low speed manoeuvring like parking Also whereabouts do I locate the bleed nipple you show towards the end of the job? Is that 9mm tubing it requires too? Finally, would you recommend a genuine part or is there a good aftermarket alternative? Thanks again for a really good, simple, diy job 👍
@VanlifeHQ5 ай бұрын
Good evening thank you for watching & kind response The cable tie was indeed to hold the old actuator arm onto the pedal (first issue) but also was losing pressure & subsequently the pedal was getting soft Your judder could be a driveshaft tbh buddy I think this would be more of that issue, The bleed nipple : if you follow the pipe from the master down to the gearbox you will see it mate it’s right near the starter motor it will have a rubber cap on it The tubing is literally only to keep it from going everywhere as after pumping and opening it will shoot out with a lot of pressure Also you can keep a eye on the bubbles, making sure it’s just clean fluid coming out Honestly aftermarket is just fine ( euro car parts ) or eBay there so easy to change for the price. Any problems drop me a message I’ll do my best to help mate

And does the tensioner fit back on with the pin in the wider of the two slots on the back plate? Looks like the thinner one is too narrow. Many thanks in advance
Good morning, So the timing tool holds everything in place not needing marks. obviously the bottom one is important as the lower pin slides in on the top oil filter bolt holding the crank in place The tensioner sits on a small pin & tighten up at the top mark diagrams are easy found on google mate, When refitting the belt if you find it hard remove the back cam pulley locate the belt & fit with pulley on the belt ! Sometimes it’s the only way your get it on ! Hope Iv answered your questions & adequately have a good day
@@VanlifeHQ awesome, thanks very much
The pulley you wind back a bit with the E18 socket - what are you lining it up against? Many thanks, really handy video
Good morning buddy there is a mark needs to be a the bottom for the oil filter housing bolt to lock the crank in place Get it in the ruff place (down) top bolt out of oil filter housing then you can wiggle the pulley to locate the locking rod.. This is the hardest frustrating bit 🤣
@@VanlifeHQ awesome, thanks. Wasn't expecting such a quick reply, top man 👊 Might well have another question or 5 over the course of the next day or so
Yeah no worries buddy if I can help I will I’m acting on here although not 1000s videos I really need to pull my finger out make some more 🤣
@@VanlifeHQalright, struggling with mount + cover that you're wiggling out at 3.23 Is it just the 2 small (8mm) bolts on the cover part you remove?
@mrchopsaloty I believe from memory it’s 3 bolts mate one up top hidden behind the top mount
Can this Tool correct the mileage on Japanese import vehicles and into mph .
Good afternoon Scott it can correct mileage on Japanese vehicles, as for switching from kph to mph I believe you can do this from the vehicle dash without a tool ? What car is it & year buddy ?
Hi, can this tool clear code for cars that have Security Gatway like Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge ? After 2019 without bypass cable
Iv cleared a 2023 fiat 500 crash damaged without a problem Not sure what you mean regarding security gateway mate ? It’s got into the ecu no problem & reset everything obviously after Iv changed the airbags & module
@@VanlifeHQ excellent job, I have plan get A30M
I can highly recommend it mate free updates for life absolutely love it
Ive got a fridge like that but half freezer and fridge is enough to get milk butter and cheese in. Handy😊
This fridge is absolutely amazing it runs 24/7 no problem on battery very quiet perfect for the eggs & bacon & of course milk but no cheese yucky lol
Mine plugs into the 12v solar plug thing but battery stays up ...Eggs and bacon has to be in every vans fridge...I gotta start the day right lol
Hi, There is a cotter pin included in the timing belt set. Where is this for?
This is for locking the flywheel on the gearbox bud So on the video your see me unbolt the top bolt of the oil filter this is where you fit the pin 📍 Your need to turn the engine back & fourth to locate the pin completely in to lock in the lower crank : dose this make sense mate ? Hope Iv explained it ok 👍
@@VanlifeHQ No, I mean the cotterpin (length 10 mm, diameter 2 mm) that comes with the belt, tensioner and guide roller. I found it, it is lo locate the tensioner on the engine :)
Ah now I know what you mean sorry bud thought you meant in the locking tool So this is for the belt tensioner if you look on the engine your see the tiny pin, it’s a pain in the ass to get out & if I’m really honest it’s not necessary to change mate Iv done a lot & never needed to change it
I was dotty dora but closed my channel down so back following you with my new channel 😊
Oh DD lol 😂 ok cool I will sun back 😬
Aww thankyou so much ....maybe I should have called my new channel double D ha ha...thanks
@Goingforwardsnotbackwards 🤣🤣🤣 now that would definitely help with subs 😉
@@VanlifeHQ lol well it's worth thing about
And what’s better a30m or obd star x300m
I would still buy the a30m for my needs it’s the best option in regards to updates free for life each tool will have pluses but a30m for me 🫡
How many times can you change mileage on car or different cars
It’s unlimited free updates for life no subscription buy it once 👍
Hi! how did he run the charging cables?
Do you mean for the b2b dc to dc ? Mate If so I went from the vehicle battery red and black inside the cab under the floor all the way to the back to the Victron DC to DC, I do have pictures & videos I really need to upload them 🤦♂️
@@VanlifeHQ In my case the battery is under the engine cover
Inside the cab by the foot ?
dont use sandpaper on aluminium cover!
6 years on still not a drop of oil ! Use your common sense if you sand it like a moron it would leak 🤣 if your using your common sense like Im sure 99% of people that are doing the job do your good to use sandpaper LIGHTLY to remove any old gasket! But thank you for your comment there all welcome
Just laber is £350-400 + parts 😄👍🏻
Shocking really it costs enough theses days just to drive them without garages charges I used to have my own garage hopefully I can save money for a few people 🤞 thank you for watching & commenting 😬
In hyundai i20 no working
What is problem no connect?
Hi, firstly - great video! So easy to follow! I am about to follow this and do the same job on my 2.2 03 master, but I am confused by the huge amount of parts available and don't want to get the wrong one, could you let me know the make and model number of the alternate part you used in the video please? Cheers, Rich
Good afternoon rich sure buddy not a problem & thank you for watching mate www.eurocarparts.com/p/pagid-clutch-master-cylinder-136745438 This is the one mate if the link doesn’t work let me know I’ll try again, Make sure when bleeding the fluid at the bottom to hold the slave with a spanner as you open the nipple it’s only plastic ! Very easy job bud let me know how you get on
Is it possible to set basic settings for components? For VAG EGR valves for example.
Unfortunately you can’t write to ecu you can do a lot of mileage & standard functions coding would have to be done on a higher level machine, I’m looking for this myself mate 👍
@@VanlifeHQ Thanks for that fast answer! Honestly I have that at already at Home and like it a lot. I was able to actuate the EGR for testing an could read out the measuring blocks (074) for the EGR. So I thougt maybe I did not find the right functions 😀 I was thinking about getting a VCDS, OBD Eleven or some VW specific tool, but having the A30M being able to read out multiple control units of so many Brands is just perfect for the money!
This tool is brilliant for the money you can’t go wrong very good value for money The OBDeleven is a must for German vehicles vw Audi…. you can code a lot with this 👍 I think kess v2 is a good tool to get for coding remapping ecu I know there are clones out there that are a fraction of the cost £60 might be worth a test 🥸
Did our 2009 van today following your video many thanks 👍 Points to note for others... 1) it's easiest to remove the under engine tray (bolts in the wheel arches to drop the front down) so you can get to the black plastic drain tap easier from underneath 2) to find the black plastic drain tap to bleed the system just follow the pipework to the clutch body where its located 3) the master cylinder body needs a slight (reverse thread) clockwise turn from the engine bay with mole grips to release it from the bulkhead 4) bleeding...ours took 20 to 30 "three pumps and hold it down"... have two 250ml bottles of dot 4 on hand... 5) during bleeding keep topping up the reservoir to the max line throughout...we used one whole bottle of dot 4 plus some taken out of the system during bleeding Overall not too bad, give yourself a morning to be sure your not rushing.
Good tips thanks for message 🫡 glade the video helped buddy Nothing like doing it yourself & saving hundreds in garage prices Job well done 👍
Another point to note...if your cruise control no longer works afterwards you may need to adjust the clutch pedal sensor like this kzread.info/dash/bejne/oaiblbN-otHAZLQ.htmlsi=dbKyDHr0aTBPMKVf
@@OlyLowethe Centre switch on the brake mate is on when it’s depressed & turns the rear brake lights on on your video 👍 I believe the one on the clutch is the Cruise control ? Anyway way nice video bud 🫡
@@VanlifeHQno they are both for the cruse control...touch the brakes or drop the clutch and it cancels
Great video thanks. It definitely looks doable and appears very similar to our 2009 model. My issue is that the plastic cup that attaches to the pedal keeps wanting to work itself off, hence I've added a zip tie. Was that your problem too as I see you cut that off at the start? I also have some occasional clutch judder during low speed manoeuvring like parking Also whereabouts do I locate the bleed nipple you show towards the end of the job? Is that 9mm tubing it requires too? Finally, would you recommend a genuine part or is there a good aftermarket alternative? Thanks again for a really good, simple, diy job 👍
Good evening thank you for watching & kind response The cable tie was indeed to hold the old actuator arm onto the pedal (first issue) but also was losing pressure & subsequently the pedal was getting soft Your judder could be a driveshaft tbh buddy I think this would be more of that issue, The bleed nipple : if you follow the pipe from the master down to the gearbox you will see it mate it’s right near the starter motor it will have a rubber cap on it The tubing is literally only to keep it from going everywhere as after pumping and opening it will shoot out with a lot of pressure Also you can keep a eye on the bubbles, making sure it’s just clean fluid coming out Honestly aftermarket is just fine ( euro car parts ) or eBay there so easy to change for the price. Any problems drop me a message I’ll do my best to help mate
That's great thanks. I think the slight judder is the clutch as it only happens when slipping the clutch, but it seems to be better if the engine is warmed up (and so the oil fully spread around?) Thanks again, really helpful
I want to do the same thing on my VW tiguan 2012 Its the dashboard code like yours okay on my car too And when i get to mileage adjustment my A30m says Failed to connect please connect device to network When im fully conected with internet
Good morning yes I believe the code is the same on the Tiguan For failed to connect : you have to be connected with wifi to Xtool itself not internet! If you look on wifi you will see your Xtool device please contact to this NOT internet Hope this helps good luck
Great video just wondering why you loosen the three bolts on cam pullies.is it to help get the belt into position when fitting the tensioner. I am planning on changing the belt asap.
Hey Tom so the 3 bolts need to be loosened to take out the slack in the belt buddy or when you take out the locking pins holding the clamps in place one side of the belt will become a little baggie…. Loosening up the bolts don’t move the marks the cams are locked in place it’s literally just to take out the slack 👍 Make sure you finish with all 3 bolts in middle of the two upper cam pulleys TIP : take off the rear cam wheel clip into the belt then it will go on ! If you don’t it will be near impossible to get the belt on buddy Honestly it’s a easy job follow my video if u get stuck message me I’ll help as much as possible.
@@VanlifeHQThanks very much. I will be in contact with you if I need any assistance when I am doing the belt.
Hi, Do I have ability switch off start-stop system on audi 2023 / VAG by this A30M?
Unfortunately not mate I know OBDelevan VAG can buddy
Nice video. I have a little problem with the clutch of my 2011 Master 2.5 G9U. I think is the master cylinder. Here, in Argentina, it worth US$200. Affordable but a little bit expensive for a tiny plastic piece 😂. I will try to install it by myself. Sorry for my poor english 😬.
Your English is fine mate yeah as long as there’s no fluid dripping out the gearbox underneath your van it will be the master cylinder 👍 Honestly it’s very easy job buddy I’m sure you can do it & save a lot of money Please let me know how you get on with it..
@@VanlifeHQ thanks for your answer. I'll keep you updated. 😄💪🏻
Is this can do mileage correction on Holden Colorado 2016?
I’m not 100% sure on this model however there is a pdf on Xtool of all makes & models buddy
@@VanlifeHQ where can I find the list of cars it supports?
Is there any gasket between the cover and engine body?
Yes mate there was a gasket stuck i reused it as it come away without damage, if it had of broken I would have used abit of red sealant wiped off the excess
@@VanlifeHQwhere did you purchase the new cover? China 🇨🇳?
@@MrAnonimowoeBay mate used item 👍
Excellent job thank you.
Thanks for watching! Appreciate your comment 🥸
but can this read the actual/untampered mileage from the the live data?
Good question I will take a look buddy
@@VanlifeHQ if it's not in the live data... Check body control module or instrument cluster
I'm thinking to purchase this scan tool... do you still recommend it ?
For the money & free updates for life you can’t really go wrong buddy I still use mine regularly although it dose not do absolutely anything it’s the best value for money especially if your a minimalist, I can pull my phone out it’s there perfect, I would say if I lost it I definitely would buy it again. I use it for mobile mechanic & really it’s brilliant.
I am offered to buy a Master with only one problem. The timing belt is in two pieces. Will these engines break or bend a valve if that happens?
Good evening, the pistons have a good cut out at the top for the valves so depending on how fast the engine was running when it snapped you might get a way with it, how much is the van ? might be worth putting a cheaper belt on just to test it, generally if you can turn the 2 top cams freely your good to go mate
Hello, i replaced the cover and now the bike doesn't start ? what can explain this ?
Make sure the generator is plugged in mate the coil part inside the cover or you could have knocked the wire on the side stand if it’s off it won’t start
@@VanlifeHQ Thanks for the reply, I also replaced the speed pedal because it was folded, the problem can come from the wire ? here the noise when i try to star it kzread.infow5zyHybKpAw

Ok thanks I will have a look today
Hello van life, I have an 03 reg Renault master van my clutch is now really loose and sticking to the floor is it the master cylinder if so would mine be in the gearbox or like yours is?
@@bradleyhocking7681 hey Bradley if there’s no fluid on the floor mate it will certainly be your master cylinder same as this one, however, if it’s dripping fluid from the gearbox, it will be your slave cylinder which means gearbox off buddy
@@VanlifeHQ there is dripping on the floor from in between gearbox and engine. I have no idea how to do that and it’s currently stuck in a pub carpark hahaha don’t suppose your local to Cornwall? Hahaha
Can you change mileage om focus mk2
I believe you can yes ! unfortunately I would need to test on a mk2 to be 100% however on the list it states 2005- Focus 2005-2008 Focus 2013- Focus 2011- (NEC 70F3425) Focus 2009-(Multifunctional screen) Hope this helps
Awesome, such inexpesive device with this capability
Yes really nice device, had it now over a year & Xtool put out regular updates all free for life you can not ask for more for the price
Hi just wanted to see if the a30m can do learn fuel line pressure on an astra?
Hey bud I’m 90% sure it can ! I know you can do fuel pressure test on the A30M
Отличный звук👍и спасибо за видео
Your welcome 🙂 thank you for watching 👍
Hey mate, great video!!Thanks!! I just crashed my er6, and the generator cover is damaged and leaking, looks like oil mixed with cooling liquid and also gasoline. Is that something to be worried about? Now (A day later) it looks like just oil is leaking but it still smells like gasoline, makes me worried. I bought the replacement parts. And i'm waiting to get delivered in order install them.
Hey mate I would not worry to much about the gasoline smell however the coolant in the oil is a issue I would look more into, Is it getting hot before your crash ?
@@VanlifeHQ thanks for the reply. I'll look into it. From france, have a lovely day
