Thats why "proper" intercoolers are all alloy and welded.They could have put that below the front cross member as theres loads of room.Anyway awesome job Baz as always.
Another spot on video Baz . It would seem that a myriad of issues can affect modern cars depending where they are used on the roads, and other factors as to how much mud/crap is on the roads. Some people won’t even know their car has an intetcooler let alone that it is blocked. 👍😎
Honda's do throw some Random Design Issues we had a Civic 1.4 ivtec that had spat a spark plug out not uncommon for them to come loose on the L13 Engine according to my man at Honda. Warranty was a new Head !
Nice to see some proper parts diagnosis. Are there no aftermarket parts available for these? I know nissens do an intercooler for the 2.2 iCTDi. One other thing to note, I agree with those clips! I have them on my 2013 2.2 iDTEC, I changed them for 2006 to 2011 Honda ones. They don't have the crappy metal tangs in them. Much easier to remove and refit!
My Honda lives on a farm and the road is particularly dirty at this time of year. The issue is that the literal shìt is thrown off the wheels and blocks the exit vents into the wheel arch liner solid. Power hosed regularly a proportion of the mess is inevitably forced through the vent slats into the void behind the intercooler and fills the space from the bottom up. The car in the video has driven very clean roads compared with mine. I’m tempted to ask the mechanic to remove the wheel arch liner at its next service and to clean out the void and cooler fins. This is not an issue confined to the 1.6 diesel Honda. My old Audi Q7, Volvo XC90 and Kia Sorento had and have a very similar design and I’m fairly sure that current LR Defenders and other luxury JLR models are or were of a similar design. Maybe some have changed to fitting a liquid coolant type [water/air] intercooler lately?
I looked at a CRV second hand with 86K miles but bought a Focus 150TDCi with 44K a 2017 plate but had been off the road during lock down. Hope I do not have the phaff that CRv had! Great video and you make it look so easy.
Another great and informative video but how do your colleagues feel about you doing these videos? Are they encouraging or dismissive?? How does the boss feel or are you the boss/owner?? Love the videos, gives me confidence to tackle little jobs myself!! Keep up the good work......🤙
I was a Honda tech for year's and i hated parts lads not saying if extra gaskets were required when ordering parts if it wasn't obvious looking at the car built up
You should make it mandatory that the oil and filter be changed when doing a dpf clean because like you found the oil level had increased which tells you that there is diesel in the oil due to failed regen. This thinned out oil now has a much reduced viscosity and if still used you run the risk of engine damage or a total engine failure and this is why you hear stories of catastrophic diesel engine failures especially when 5-30 or lower viscosity oil is used as recomended by the manufacturer. As I have said I would insist on it to cover yourself.
@mickl8212 quite well covered with the wheel arch cover the back is not dirty it's the front that faces the road that's the worst along with stones and dirt chucked up from underneath
@@cassk9999 you're incorrect. All the dirt is from the wheel through the slots on the wheel arch. I know because both my 2.2 Civics have been exactly the same. The intercooler is clean on the front. Watch the video again.
@@cassk9999 5:34 the aluminium end tank is at the bottom and the lower aluminium pipe feeds off to the right and bolts to the chassis leg. The plastic end tank is at the top and the boost pipe connects to the top of it. The mud is from the wheel not from the front of the car through the bumper.
@@bazmeredith About the same as mine then! No DPF issues yet on mine even though it does lots of short journeys these days now my wife has retired. Maybe it has enough 40 mile round trips to the supermarket to avoid that issue or, more likely, since the intercooler probably hasn’t failed yet, it’s just getting the correct air/fuel ratio to avoid excessive soot production.
I have a 2015 CRV diesel with 40k miles and owned the car for 6 years doing a lot of short journeys and so far so good , no issues ( I’ve just jinxed it haven’t I ) 😳😳

I never thought i would watch someone eat a jammy doughnut whilst cleaning an intercooler pipe with a wire brush. But there you are.
Can you use the DPF cleaner and then use your diagnostic machine to do a forced regen alternative to revving it manually? Fantastic videos. Cheers.
100K On the horizon 🤙🤙

great video baz terrible design for jow blogs latent defect comes to mind
A manual turbo diesel AWD Cr-V ?? Why dont we have these in the United States??
Trust me, you don't want them. Your K24 is more than up to the job and WAY MORE RELIABLE.
None of this DPF crap to worry about.
Out of warranty = delete DPF and all the crap that goes with it = happy days 👍

great job again lad next video please
Put some mesh behind the bumper so it doesn't get as dirty
Good idea
That crap is from the wheel arch

Do this on a be touran 2014 CFCH engine so I can do it myself. (The dpf clean bit)
Shocking parts delay
Nice video 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Did you diagnose with smoke
4 weeks... were they mining the metal to make it or something!?
@@khalidacosta7133 it's just how the trade is ATM it's shocking

DPF / EURO 6 AD BLUE use in trucks hasstle its corrosive jets block corrode ad blue pumps fail often . EURO 4, 6 NIGHTMARE .
