My last car was a diesel and it had over 400,000 on the clock when I got rid of it. The only times the dpf gave me trouble was when the glow plugs were failing and when an exhaust gas temperature sensor died. Apart from those instances, the dpf never gave trouble as I did long motorway runs in the car and not stop start/short trip driving. Diesels are great workhorses but if you just use them as school run cars, you’ll have no end of trouble.
It seems to me that most modern mechanics can only do what the computer tells them. They never learned properly and are not mechanics like you but simple technicians who don't even understand what they are doing. If the computer can't fix it they are stuffed.God knows what will happen to the electric cars!? So many of them will end up scrapped because of a broken wire or fuse because so few people will have the knowledge to diagnose and fix them. Excellent work as always Baz.
The codes for the A/F sensor 1 is a know fault by Honda. Where the sensor requires replacement. That engine is the high powered N16 engine where the twin turbos leak oil and normally fill the intercooler. So they require reconditioning or replacing
I had the same problem recently on a vehicle however I had no AF Faults. So I believe someone mapped the faults out. But smoke test found the exact same problem.
I've been caught out with air mass meters before. How do you know what a normal reading is through it? I had an option to look at the learned values and noticed the reading was different to what was expected by the ecu. I unplugged it and the vehicle ran good off the learned map. I've always wanted data that specified how many kg/m of air was going through the air mass at idle and then at 3000 rpm. Same with differential pressure data. Would make life a lot easier. Do you know where this level of data is available? I had a look on all data and i couldn't find anything like that.
Another very informative video Baz. Interesting to see the effect a blocked DPF has on the diag data. 👍😎
Why do people buy a diesel when they only use them to go to the shops or the school run so the thing never gets chance to regen
@@MegaReddevil71 because 50+mpg in the brochure
Because Gordon Brown told us to. They were the best fuel to get at the time

That smoke machine reminded me of my old man smoking Capstan full strength.
Your bang on when i was having dpf problems with my insignia lots of garages wouldn't help me as they didnt know enough about them..
Great job as always Baz 👍
Same engine, dpf got blocked because of a failed intercooler, it’s a know fault with them Honda diesels
I read the codes study them like you said and then head over to Jimmy's library.😂😂😂
“Ive got the wheel up in the air” 😂

And after yesterday palaver ….NOTE baz A Rooney L@@k down plug/ injector holes before STARTING any 2 day long jobs 🤙🤙
Yes a bit of a Fuck a Rooney on that one i must agree! But hey we all make mistakes. and as a rule Baz usually does a great job!
Never had a fault with my kuga dpf. I've done 30000 miles in 18 months. no point getting a diesel for short trips.
Give it time. Matter sensor incoming
175k on mine how much time should I give it?
@@Theorangeman.Matter sensor ??

Far to many people mapping out stuff instead of fixing faults
Taking it to Jimmy 🤣🤣
Top work baz love a smoke machine 🤙
If you ain't smoking you is guessing
@@bazmeredith I wonder if a big vape would work? 🤣
K20 is the only Honda engine worthwhile in these the newer Honda Design Engine's are a joke compared to earlier stuff.

Have you seen the dpf cleaning bosh that mechanic mindset did a video on🤔
Sure have
There always seems to be hammering in the garage. Is there a blacksmith mending carts? What mileage was that car?
Think they have a fettish for hammers
Is the intercooler full of air or oil when all is well?
Nice one cheers
