This VW Polo was hardly able to make it up the driveway and had to be recovered to the workshop. The only fault code I was able to find was P1553, time for a new MAP sensor, or is it something else?

How to Diagnose Brake Lights Not Working on a VW T25 Transporter.
Просмотров 5135 месяцев назад
In this video we diagnose a 1989 VW Transporter T3 (T25) with faulty brake lights. The customer had been to another garage who were unable to diagnose the issue due to missing wiring diagrams. I show how using a multimeter is liable to give false readings due to the extremely low load it draws on a circuit.

Cold Weather Electric Car Charging Test at Sainsbury’s Smartcharge, UK’s Newest EV Charge Network.
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.6 месяцев назад
In this video I test the UK's newest charging network, Sainsbury's Smartcharge. Coming to 100 stores this year, the network allows 150kW charging on 400V cars and 300kW on 800V cars. There is no membership, apps or special cards needed. It can be seen that even on a cold day. A quick weekly shop will be enough time to recharge the battery.

    Big difference now between 'OE' parts and 'OEM' parts.. 'orignial equipment' and 'original equipment manufacturer.'. A lot of OE parts are outsourced ( China), OEM means as fitted to the vehicle originally and should be a much better quality... the manufacturers don't care too much for the post finance owners now, so 'OE' parts are usually supplied by the parts department. Trouble is a lot of JLR stuff is China origin to start with now anyway... hence the TERRIBLE reliability issues they are becoming renowned for.

When I upgraded, EE had to send me a physical SIM in the post and then I had to request to have it changed to an eSIM. It’s so backwards compared to the regular SIM which is why I’ve never changed my O2 SIM to one.

      ​@@theweekthatis I've done this before, once, but I followed ETKA instructions which tells you to *first* set the pump lift, *then* set toothed belt on rollers etc.. I think it makes more sense to do it like you do...fit the rollers, fit the belt, set the lift, and finally tighten the sprocket. I don't have the that fancy counter hold and it is a pain and stressful without it. I don't dare tighten the thing to 160 nm with the pump locked. I do 60 nm or so, release the pump lock, and then go the full 160 nm. Unfortunately this made the timing out of whack. After turning the crank 2 turns the lift is too low at TDC mark. I fix this by adjusting the rollers and make sure I have 0.55 mm lift after rotating the engine. Then I'm ready for dynamic timing.

    Pretty damp good video. I have an LT35 and have been having issues with getting my pump timing correct. The ‘cloud’ feature on VCDS is something I’m looking forwards to utilising. Unfortunately LT35’s aren’t so easy to ‘set up’ as being rear wheel drive access for the flywheel and timing marks is a real pain when working on the floor. An inspection camera helps but a real PIA to set that up alone. I am now ‘armed’ with more information regards these things)I have ‘timed’ this pump at least 20 times.. long multiplication is a thing! Anyhoo thansk again..

      The thing is, the whole point is the ECU does the pump timing. What we’re aiming to do here is get the base timing correct so the ECU has the most range to advance and retard it. As the belt ages it does drift anyway, it won’t matter to the actual running one bit.

      The cam is locked unless you undo the Cambelt cam pulley bolt and strike the pulley off the taper with a punch through the hole. So it’s perfectly possible to do the cambelt without touching the pumpbelt by marking the cam pulley with paint. However, this is the wrong way to do it, it is not suggested by the factory manual, you’ll have incorrect tension, bad cam timing and bad pump timing. May as well do it correctly.
