Im making a prediction here mate.....your on a par with Salvage Rebuilds. Just stick with it and you will become a star . Your an absolute legend......working kerbside puts you at a disadvantage before you even turn a spanner but you just smash it out!!
Great video! Had alot of customers recently with egr faults and alot have asked if they can be removed so made a big investment and bought remapping gear and a new autel scanner 😅 hopefully a few more happy customers
I’ve been thinking that too tbh. CEL is lit up on my workhorse but it’s only the AdBlue injector that’s failed. I always just reset it so the cannot restart error resets 😂. It’s also cheaper for the customer to get it mapped out than replaced 🤷🏽♂️. I might think about this deeply 😂
@@themarvelousvlog haha that's fair enough! Yeah with the prices of adblue injectors and adblue modules it's crazy not to just remove the software for them I have an egr booked in for tomorrow so hopefully the mapping goes well🤞🏻 joined an established company that supply's properly tuned files as I want to keep it as professional as possible.
Done bloody well to get that out. I did one on a single turbo and had to chisel it out it was that stuck. Just done low pressure EGR on r9m engine. Pig of a job
I used the two screw holes and it popped out. I was surprised myself. I usually struggle on this; chisel and a lot of f**c and c u next Tuesday usually. This was friendly one tbh 😂
Great work mate, shame about that first replacement box being duff. I imagine that gearbox oil stench stuck around for a while too😂Just found your channel today and you've earned yourself a sub!
Thank you mate! Yeah, it was annoying to be honest. Hate warranty work. Disappoints people and it also disappoints me, but shit happens, as long as it’s not too often 😂 I’ve subbed to yours too mate. Appreciate it!
@@themarvelousvlog That's it, as long as it's not too often, then it's just one of those things that comes with the job! And thank you mate - appreciate that👊🏽
Hi, a few weeks ago I pointed out the volume difference between the music and you talking, just wanted to let you know that it's much better now! Thanks, onwards and upwards with the channel! 👍
I rang 2 local garages that does welding and they were more expensive. I guess I should’ve just gone for it because this box that we got was shot anyway. Luckily our trusty breakers yard will provide us a reconditioned box, free of charge
@@themarvelousvlog a few garages around my way dont even bother doing clutches any more simply because of come backs, they are doing a whole job free again assuming the garages has provided the parts
After fitting a egr valve and cleaning up intake manifold and flaps too , i still have codes i have realised the signal to ecu or ecu is bad such a waste of a £240 wahler egr when i checked the soleneid on the old egr seems to open and close as it should such a trap this EGR and DPF bullshit
@themarvelousvlog ok thanks luckily I'm just a home mechanic so I have traced the bad corroded signal wire and replaced it to the ecm from the egr and now its working fine again the old egr valve was 16 years old so I've decided to keep the new wahler as I could have returned it as incorrect fitment but cars running a lot better
@@doggystyle1970 which is what Lara did but the whole gearbox because the part wasn’t removable/ replaceable So a simple weld to the cracked area would of fixed it and then been able to keep a known working gearbox
Welding it is more expensive than buying a second-hand gearbox unfortunately. Obviously we don’t carry welder with us, hence why we didn’t do it. We asked places to do it and they were quoting around 200 🥲
@barrymoney1946 definitely not unfortunately 😅 I don’t have a plane full of tools to go there. Maybe for when we get big, I’ll do an international repair
Maybe it's better to get a full deposit for the Parts and when you have Finished working on their Car and testing it ( Always check and Test your Work Yourself. It is a define Sign of a Good and Competent Mechanic). Anyways let them take your word it Runs and Drives Ok...because unfortunately there are Mostly Bad People out there, who won't pay you..! So, that is something to think about...!🤔
I did test drive it myself beforehand. I then asked him to go for a test drive too so that he can tell me if the car is back to normal or not. (I usually go with them but I had a feeling he was decent man so I didn’t this time). On expensive parts I take deposit and an hour’s labour for the worst case scenario. In this event I didn’t though 🫣 rookie mistake 😂
So you’re a fitter, not a technician or mechanic! As a technician, we have the ability to replace the clutch fork not just buy a replacement box. And who in there right mind supplies a second hand part ? Get the customer to buy it, then if it’s duff , it’s not your problem!!
If I am a ‘fitter’ then I wouldn’t be able to use real diagnostic tools, not know how vehicle systems work etc… I am a qualified technician but okay, if you say so. In regards to supplying a second-hand part, we always tell our customers that there is no guarantee or warranty if when we do supply them. Just because I said we’re going back to this job it doesn’t mean we’re not getting paid for labour. Thank you for the comment
I got wondered if the clutch fork could be replaced so did a quick search and found this video - th-cam.com/video/WefdmtMf7kg/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AustralianClutchServices Yes it is a larger engine, it probably the same press fitting. A gearbox specialist would have the tools to replace the fork.

Thank you mate. Massive compliment! Appreciate your support man 💪🏽
Not a chance
You can remove the thrust bearing arm on the Suzuki swift gearbox by tapping the top bush out, takes 2 minutes.
You don't change gearboxes because it needs a clutch fork.
I agree, thought that was odd

Yhup! Learnt how to somewhat equalise it, still can get better though. Got a lot more to learn. Thank you!

He’s right though. I did listen to previous vids and it could really wake a baby up 😂
why didnt you take that box down to what ever local garage and just get that fork welded?

It only needed a new fork.

Best to diagnose properly before replacing. Never guess before test. Check your wiring, it’ll tell you a whole lot of story

Do it 😁
Hi just a thought couldn’t you just weld the cracked clutch bearing fork
Or replace it?

@@themarvelousvlog wow that’s extortionate for a 10 minute job
@@telbenj The clutch release fork IS removable, you have to hammer out the outer bushing.
That egr model is so grab. You were very lucky that ylu get it of without mayor work. Cant deamn i hate those.
It was surprisingly easy to take this one out. I used the two threaded holes to get it out and it actually worked (for the first time ever) 😂
@@themarvelousvlog 🤣 i thought those holes are just there that you can snap those egr ears off and make you swear
Great Video
Thank you 🫡
great video 👍👍
Cheers mate!

Very well done could do with you in our area barry

As a fellow mobile mechanic, yeah being scammed is not nice for all the time and hard work
100% mate. Its happened to my 3x now; 3 different style of scams. I will be talking about this in the future video
