' everyone ' is the correct word Diagnosis Dan cannot diagnose that as he is linguistically totally clueless He does not understand the concept of ' one ' He still needs to take English language lessons. The question then becomes : Is he teachable or not ? Not knowing is ignorance --- which can be remedied Refusing to learn is stupidity - there is not any remedy for that symptom
@@adammcallister2260 I can assure you that has nothing to do with it, from the beginning of my channel i average 1 video a month and has never changed. Sometimes especially during summer vacation it might take a little longer.
I had exactly the same thing on a BMW X3 I bought cheap. Local mobile mechanic replaced DPF, it blocked again so old owner took it to the main dealer who said the turbo was dead and the head needed a lot of work. I found the hole, cut off the retaining band where it mounted to a hard pipe and pushed it on another 25mm. New Miclaor clamp and it was as good as new. The boost pipe had been rubbing on the coolant fan for some time.
Great job. Your diagnostic approach - determine what's wrong as well as what caused it and not just fix what may be broken - is outstanding. Truly the sign of a professional and someone who is customer focused. Thanks for sharing the video. Once again, Dan not only diagnosed it but also provided important educational advice. Looking forward to your next video.

Had exactly the same part of the hose crack on my Outlander. Didn't get as far as having a blocked DPF because it started to go in limp home mode every time I gave it full throttle. Glad I got mine sorted early on as I know just how expensive a DPF is! Nice one Dan.
I'm surprised there wasn't a boost pressure code. My bet is that issue was there before the previous dpf failed and forced regens with too much soot in the old dpf cracked it. Cleaning is always better than forcing a regen when the pressure is too high! Sometimes people reset the learned soot values to make the vehicle regen when in reality it shouldn't be doing.
Drivability parameters should have been checked before and after DPF replacement. Why is this engine running inefficiently? It should have been addressed before sending it down the road
Came here to say this. There was one as he stated because he disconnected the maf, I wonder if it was missed while focusing on the dpf pressure and cleaning procedure.
I know nothing about cars, but this had me hooked! Had no idea the electronics/sensors was such a big part of fixing modern cars. It reminds me of my own job of fixing computers :D
Great video, Dan. I no longer am in the car repair industry, but I really enjoy your videos. Where i used to work, our "bread and butter" was mostly maintenance repairs and not a lot of diagnostic repairs. The little bit we did involved a lot of guesswork. I truly enjoy your thorough processes to find and fix issues.
Brilliant! Always so many lessons in your videos. The tyre analogy is very good. Also the bloopers show just how much effort goes into each film, much appreciated!
Nice to see the filter is working so good and that the particles are for real! Some also get clogged by short city driving, the conditions for regen are never met. A petrol is less problematic if mostly city/short driving..
Great to have you back again Dan! Very interesting, as always, to see the fault finding process and to have the relevance of each step so clearly explained. Look after yourself.
Dan, your customers must be very lucky people - thanks to your experience and systematic approach they save lots of time and money! And, I used to repair starter motors and alternators for about 10 years and the soot, mixed with engine oil, would never leave my fingers🙂- I had no time to put the rubber gloves on 😁
When I was stationed in Darmstadt Germany ( 1984 -1987 ) I had the opportunity to visit Holland. I found it to be a very beautiful country and everyone was very kind .
@@Diagnosedan I was stationed in Germany and went to tulip garden. Don’t remember name. Started with. K. In 83. Went to Amsterdam. Saw where Ann Franke lived.
Your methodical diagnostic approach is outstanding. Really enjoy your channel. Just wish you would put out videos more frequently. That way I could become smarter faster 😊
a very useful tool for turbo engines is the smoke machine. so many dpf issues are due to cracked hoses, leaking injector seals at the rocker cover, etc. we got one recently after watching @Orileysautos videos, and it has really saved us hours of leak testing.
If you use a smoke machine on turbo systems make sure you use one that can generate enough pressure. Some turbo hoses only start leaking when boost pressure is applied
Excellent job Dan, with this scenario u'd think the owner would've noticed a performance drop sometime before but I think that's just indicative of his driving style.
Glad to see you back again. This was a very interesting problem which you fixed by instituting "cause and effect" (or effect and cause) protocol. I'm retired now but in my trade, electronics, this worked as well. Thank you,
You know Jimmy o reiley has already watched this! This had his name all over it! Can't believe it didn't throw a turbo under boost fault up or MAF correlation code up. That was a big spilt!. Another great video. Putting the point across that dpf only block up because of an underlying issue
I thought the same but a diesel jag I had showed no fault codes it was barely running,smoke from rocker cover and dipstick I thought the engine had gone but no I smoke tested it to find out a intercooler hose had rotted jubilee clip and the hose came off,put new one on it’s like new now but still you would have thought it would show a fault but it didn’t 😂
You are the best in troubleshooting, this is my personal opinion,.You are very pleasant person and admirable tutor. I wish you good luck and I devine you flawless health as you do to the cars
Brilliant video as always.......! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us for free. It's an amazingly complicated system with so many possibilities. If I was a younger person, I would volunteer to work in your shop for free, just to learn some of your many secrets. Thanks again Professor...!!
I don't work as a mechanic anymore. But when I did, I sure would have liked that software.. Jeez I don't know how many hours I've spent scratching my head over some electrical fault. An amazing tool to collect experience globally.
@@JS_Precision when i started working on cars i just had some hand tools. No scantool, (almost) no data. But cars were quite simple back then, these days you can't fix them without the right tools.
Great Diagnose Dan: As an Automotive TAFE Teacher, I told all my students: Before you reach for the scan tool, LOOK AND LISTEN, UNPLUG AND REPLUG CONNECTORS. It is amazing how many times this fixes an Issue, finding the CAUSE ,as you state.
Unplugging connectors before reading faultcodes is not the best of advise in my opinion. Unplugging connectors could set faultcodes that have nothing to do with the cars issue and send you down a Rabbit Hole.
As an aviation mechanic , it was very refreshing to see an auto technician use a logical approach to diagnosing the cause of a problem and not just the symptoms. I do have a question for you though. Why did you not look for TSB's on the symptoms before you started all the troubleshooting? It seems that checking for the TSB first could have helped you reach the solution faster.
You still need to diagnose the cause. Proper diagnostic procedures is the most important step for a successful repair and should always be your first step of the repair procedure. Cars are not like airplanes. Every system in a modern car is computer controlled
@@deerhunter8533 I wasn't suggesting that you shouldn't have done all the other steps to verify that the problem the TSB indicated as the most likely root cause was indeed correct. Especially the cleaning of the DPF system and verifying the pressure sensor was operating within parameters. I was just curious about the order in which you did them. Cars are more like modern aircraft than you realize. For instance the F-22 Raptor can tell the mechanic that there is high iron and nickel content in the engine oil which is a precursor to bearing failure. Not to mention the various other sensors for coolant levels, fuel , hydraulic oil levels, etc..even the length of time a relay takes to activate all are monitored by multiple redundant computer systems.
In my day to day work checking for tsb's would be the first step of my diagnosis. But for TH-cam i like to show as much as possible of the diagnostic process. In this video i did a little of both.
The qualitybofnyour videoes are a treat Dan! 👍👍👍 I had a split hose on my 2008 Golf 1.9TDI.. it was producing a cloud of black smoke upon acceleration. It barely passed emission test last year and this year after repair, it passed with flying colours. 😊
One of the most common causes I've found of dpf high frequency regeneration is the intake pipe leak.... experience has came to find usually the pipes split when the dpf gets blocked to the point the car struggles to start or doesn't and the back pressure and intake pressure meet and blow out. Often tend to find the dpfs block up due to oil leaking from the turbos, which is typically caused by poor and infrequent oil changes is usually the biggest cause of them blocking up..... always great to have ddtsb though dan.... like in terms of precisely.... I now carry digital weighing scales in my van.... thats the level we are at.... cheers. Felix
Excellent job , and very good described 😉👌🏻.... Owns a Volvo V60 T6 R AWD, 326 hp from 2020 , my ever best car in my opinion.... Love it ❤❤ But as an old retired mechanic myself it was an excellent video of good diagnose and repair. Thx and keep up the good work 💪💪👏👏
Hi Diagnose Dan, trust you are super well... love watching your videos.. I have an issue with my car - VW Tiguan 2020 TSI. I have checked with numerous VW dealers and other Mechanics and still no one can find an issue. In the morning on cold start when turning left at a stop has a noise that sounds like metal that is loose / dragging. As I said you here this when the car is at a stop then taking a left. I have not heard anything when the car is turning right. The noise is more prominent when turning left up a hill. Shocks, struts, bearings, links and sway bars have been checked. Nobody can find any issue. This is only heard in the early mornings on cold start...
I like your test drive area. Very nice! That's great you had that bulletin. It helped show the damaged hose. (Not Enough Air) I started to think blocked air filter or air inlet, but without a Mass Airflow Sensor reading, it makes the diagnosis more difficult. Great video! Hope the customer was happy. Also if this is a "pattern problem," I hope the OEM has an updated fix.
Nice video, congrats for being honest with the work. It is very good you did not replace again the dpf, but, instead, you looked for the cause that lead to dpf clogging. Also for the customer, it is cheaper to replace one broken (and in-sight) hose, than pay 2 dpf's and labour
Brilliant analogy and diagnosis once again Dan, I’m amazed by what you have to have (sorry) too many haves and have nots😊, the amount of diagnostic tools in a modern day workshop, must be super expensive running a modern workshop, love your presentation as well Dan, next time I’m over in the Netherlands I’ll let you buy me a beer 😊, sorry again, I’ll buy you a beer 🍺, thoroughly enjoyed your post Dan
What a difference in service compared to Australian dealership. My Mitsubishi Triton MQ 2015 2.4L 4N15 my RPM is dropping b 625rpm every time I come to a stop and then quickly comes up to normal rpm 650. Same when idling with AC on, AC clicks in rpm goes up, AC clicks again rpm drops to 625 an then quickly goes up to 650. I have no trouble codes, tested all seniors all good. I bought a smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks and found that the EGR has a leak at the hole used for atmospheric pressure to allow the diaphragm to go up and down. Tested the EGR with vacuum tool and it does hold pressure but has a leak when test from the intake. Purchased new EGR, and had the same leak, ordered another and the same leak. So bit the bullet and booked it with the dealer$hit and I told them what needed to be fixed and that the car has no trouble codes, they said diagnostics are done on a Thursday. Went to the dealership and sat there for half a day but they only looked at car for 15 minutes. Result was it has no trouble codes but we updated the computer, that will be $200 thanks, paid the bill got into the car only to find the same problem. When back in and told them it's still doing the same thing, they said maybe it could be the EGR or valve adjustment, the quote was $1850. Not paying $1850 for a maybe. Can anybody confirm if the EGR leak is normal as I can't get a confirmation from any dealer and the internet has mixed reviews. My EGR has vacuum operation and electronic built into the same unit. Thanks
an old Aston-Martin mechanic here--- good diagnostics procedures--- was always told "cause-symptom-consequence" on faults--- also also told-- "Fix car-- Fix customer"
Very nice, Dan! I'm so glad you explained at the end why customer didn't have drivability problems before replacing the DPF. Brilliant! Another great job, Dan. Best wishes from Florida. (Yes it's too darn hot!)S
I had one of these as a roadside breakdown. Found the split hose and used Amalgamation tape as a temporary repair. Dan, I think viewers might miss what you say about a cracked dpf. It's a internal crack not a crack like a fractured weld etc letting exhaust gasses out the side of it. Wonder if the hose caused the original dpf to crack??
Hose cracked because of deterioration of the rubber material, oil does that to rubber. DPF can crack because of age, temperature or low quality material
@@deuce9769no, DPF cracking is a result of excessive soot load during regeneration - i.e. someone reset the soot loading when the DPF light came on, then continued driving until the vehicle finally managed to do a regeneration - at which point the DPF was already overloaded. This causes excessive temperatures inside the DPF (can easily exceed 1300⁰C instead of the normal
Thank you for understanding dpfs. There are so many mechanics that just don't understand how a dpf works and it drives me nuts. "Dpf clogged? Yeah just replace it" ahhhhhhhh
I’m glad you brought up the all cars are made the same and if one part fails it will fail on every other car made people don’t usually understand that one.
😊😊😊😊 thank you very much for another wonderful video. Thank you very much for your time and effort for putting it all together 10 out of 10. The diesel market in the diesel community is finally catching up with all of the extra cats and everything else that are put on all the cars and the trucks and everything else and now all the little problems are now finally showing their ugly little heads and all the codes to come with it and everything goes in limp mode. If you get stuck out on the road, you’re kind of like upper creek without a paddle going nowhere thank you again Dan.
Dan great video.. I say this with sincere thanks. You are in the same class as my hero Mr Bernie Thompson. And thanks for the bloopers we all need a laugh nowadays
Diesel engines used to be simple and free of any electronics but very filthy and noisy. That the tailpipe emissions out of the BMW contained less particles than ambient is nothing but amazing. Thanks Dan for going the extra mile to produce another super informative video.
Thank you so much Dan for this very informative Video. Thanks Dan to encourage us mechanics to dig deeper in finding the cause of a problem on the car for a permanent fix or repair. I love the Video thank for teaching us Dan ! Greetings to your entire family Dan 😀
Someone mentioned smoke testing. I agree. Mitsubishi Outla Der diesel. Is the diesel better or worse than the gas model. Any Mitsubishi technicians out there? Diagnose Dan is one of the best, if not the best diagnostic technicians on TH-cam.
I have seen this like a hundred times. (KIA & Mitsubishi tech) As soon i saw the codes i knew that the hose would be the cause 😊. I have only used the original M.U.T diag tool and i have always been able to force an regen.
Another great video dynamite Dan thank you. Seems the hose is a manufacturer's defect. Mitsubishi should issue a recall bulletin and fix the weak hoses.
Thanks for this new video Dan, however the last videos also had this problem of the volume being only on the left channel, perhaps something to fix for your next video?

We also pay alot of tax for it😂
Brilliant analogy and diagnosis once again Dan, I’m amazed by what you have to have (sorry) too many haves and have nots😊, the amount of diagnostic tools in a modern day workshop, must be super expensive running a modern workshop, love your presentation as well Dan, next time I’m over in the Netherlands I’ll let you buy me a beer 😊, sorry again, I’ll buy you a beer 🍺, thoroughly enjoyed your post Dan
Awesome video buddy. It’s great to see the particle counter used to diagnose the dpf system. Wish i had this in the past.
It's a real eye opener, it makes you "see" the great job the DPF is doing
This is such a great channel. Very clear, detailed explanations.
Glad to hear you like the videos!
What a difference in service compared to Australian dealership. My Mitsubishi Triton MQ 2015 2.4L 4N15 my RPM is dropping b 625rpm every time I come to a stop and then quickly comes up to normal rpm 650. Same when idling with AC on, AC clicks in rpm goes up, AC clicks again rpm drops to 625 an then quickly goes up to 650. I have no trouble codes, tested all seniors all good.
I bought a smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks and found that the EGR has a leak at the hole used for atmospheric pressure to allow the diaphragm to go up and down. Tested the EGR with vacuum tool and it does hold pressure but has a leak when test from the intake. Purchased new EGR, and had the same leak, ordered another and the same leak. So bit the bullet and booked it with the dealer$hit and I told them what needed to be fixed and that the car has no trouble codes, they said diagnostics are done on a Thursday. Went to the dealership and sat there for half a day but they only looked at car for 15 minutes. Result was it has no trouble codes but we updated the computer, that will be $200 thanks, paid the bill got into the car only to find the same problem.
When back in and told them it's still doing the same thing, they said maybe it could be the EGR or valve adjustment, the quote was $1850. Not paying $1850 for a maybe.
Can anybody confirm if the EGR leak is normal as I can't get a confirmation from any dealer and the internet has mixed reviews.
My EGR has vacuum operation and electronic built into the same unit.
Thanks
an old Aston-Martin mechanic here--- good diagnostics procedures--- was always told "cause-symptom-consequence" on faults--- also also told-- "Fix car-- Fix customer"
Thanks for leaving a comment thats really appreciated
Great troubleshooting, Dan!
Just returned from a trip to Holland lovely country clean and tidy place nice roads with plenty of road signs loved it
I hope you had a good time!
You are a real repairman!! Greetings from Sweden.
Thank you!
Very nice, Dan! I'm so glad you explained at the end why customer didn't have drivability problems before replacing the DPF. Brilliant! Another great job, Dan. Best wishes from Florida. (Yes it's too darn hot!)S
So if the DPF was cracked and the turbo hose was split, wouldn’t you have seen black smoke coming out of the tail pipe?
To hot for me🤣 but Florida men are build with internal ac systems🤣
Hi, Dan. Nice to see you again, buddy. Great diagnosis…as usual! 👏👏👏
Thank you!!
Another great study and example of your diagnostic process and confirmation of issues.
Thank you
I had one of these as a roadside breakdown. Found the split hose and used Amalgamation tape as a temporary repair. Dan, I think viewers might miss what you say about a cracked dpf. It's a internal crack not a crack like a fractured weld etc letting exhaust gasses out the side of it. Wonder if the hose caused the original dpf to crack??
Hose cracked because of deterioration of the rubber material, oil does that to rubber. DPF can crack because of age, temperature or low quality material
@@deuce9769no, DPF cracking is a result of excessive soot load during regeneration - i.e. someone reset the soot loading when the DPF light came on, then continued driving until the vehicle finally managed to do a regeneration - at which point the DPF was already overloaded. This causes excessive temperatures inside the DPF (can easily exceed 1300⁰C instead of the normal
Excellent diagnosis again,
Doctor Dan !
😅🎉
😁👍
Fantastic work Dan, Always a pleasure watching
Thanks!
Thank you for understanding dpfs. There are so many mechanics that just don't understand how a dpf works and it drives me nuts. "Dpf clogged? Yeah just replace it" ahhhhhhhh
Another classroom from professor Dan , thank you for that 👍👍👍👍
Thorough and easy to understand. I love this guy.
Thank you!
I’m glad you brought up the all cars are made the same and if one part fails it will fail on every other car made people don’t usually understand that one.
😊😊😊😊 thank you very much for another wonderful video. Thank you very much for your time and effort for putting it all together 10 out of 10. The diesel market in the diesel community is finally catching up with all of the extra cats and everything else that are put on all the cars and the trucks and everything else and now all the little problems are now finally showing their ugly little heads and all the codes to come with it and everything goes in limp mode. If you get stuck out on the road, you’re kind of like upper creek without a paddle going nowhere thank you again Dan.
Thank you for your fantastic comment!
Great video! Thank you! I'm so surprised this didn't throw an under boost code.
Another good video, but that cracked screen would be a fail here in the UK.
Thanks Dan !
Tremendous lesson !!
Tremendous coaching !!!
Thanks mate .
👊🏼 🔥 💻 📈 🎲
Dan great video.. I say this with sincere thanks. You are in the same class as my hero Mr Bernie Thompson. And thanks for the bloopers we all need a laugh nowadays
Thank you
Car is never an unsolved problem !! Customers attitude is!! Thanks Dan
Its a pleasure!
Excellent video Dan. We don't drive too many diesel vehicles in the USA but I learned how sophisticated no gasoline engines can be.
Thank you Dan.
Diesel engines used to be simple and free of any electronics but very filthy and noisy. That the tailpipe emissions out of the BMW contained less particles than ambient is nothing but amazing. Thanks Dan for going the extra mile to produce another super informative video.
They dont install these expensive systems for no reason 😉
Diagnosis means = split or unknown
Thank God we have DiagnoseDan
Thanks for watching
I have a Mitsubishi ASX in Australia with same engine, good to see some tips and I’ll be checking my boost hose.
The tools Dan has are so good.
And so expensive i bet too.
Thank you so much Dan for this very informative Video.
Thanks Dan to encourage us mechanics to dig deeper in finding the cause of a problem on the car for a permanent fix or repair.
I love the Video thank for teaching us Dan !
Greetings to your entire family Dan 😀
Nice fix Dan! Thanks for sharing. Have a good one, cheers Nico.
Thanks as always Nico
Someone mentioned smoke testing. I agree. Mitsubishi Outla Der diesel. Is the diesel better or worse than the gas model. Any Mitsubishi technicians out there? Diagnose Dan is one of the best, if not the best diagnostic technicians on TH-cam.
Damn, I am so jealous of the tools you have. Keep up the good work.
Where have you been Dan!!!! Hope all good !!!! Great
Watching and a masterclass in tuition 🍻 and always a bit of light hearted humour at the end 😂
I have seen this like a hundred times. (KIA & Mitsubishi tech) As soon i saw the codes i knew that the hose would be the cause 😊. I have only used the original M.U.T diag tool and i have always been able to force an regen.
Your village looks much better than my city!
Congratulations for the diagnostics
😁👍
Hope they introduce a particle counter for UK MOTs. Thanks again Dan 👍
They will
another great video Dan. Can you diagnose what is wrong with the windscreen?
I had a soot particle release once, the fix was to change my underwear. 😮 Great video Dan!
Did it leave a stain in the seat of your Corvette?😂
@@Diagnosedan yes, in both of my Corvettes!! haha
Another great video dynamite Dan thank you. Seems the hose is a manufacturer's defect. Mitsubishi should issue a recall bulletin and fix the weak hoses.
Thanks for this new video Dan, however the last videos also had this problem of the volume being only on the left channel, perhaps something to fix for your next video?
Wanted to state exactly that .
I am using headphones so I put the iPad sound in mono “mode” .
Ofcourse very happy to see a new video of him 😊
I think......😂....i found the problem and it should be fixed in the next video
@@Diagnosedan Thanks, Dan, can't wait for your next video!
Thanks! I agree. Always perform a Root Cause Analysis.
Thanks for watching!!
Many thanks, Dan. Strange there was no turbo pression fault?
