Looking at getting a new dpf gun but launch uk are always out of stock , same with fluid I get it some times and alot of times out of stock. Any help with this ? And where do you get it if launch are out . Thanks
It's almost like the manufacturers are just coming up with more and more dependant systems to tie the dpf system into increasing the points of failure and therefore raking it in when you take it to the dealership for repair. Expect cars to fail their dpf regens in the near future for the following reasons: 1. Interior light has blown 2. Ashtray is full 3. Cup in cup holder is not located securely
More like that they want cars to die early now so you decide to buy an EV and they don't get fined for not selling enough of them. Sadly there is no way back from EV crap now.
Why on earth the A/C would need to be gassed to do the DPF regen is beyond me. Especially as there isn't any codes pointing in the direction that an AC problem is causing it.
Wow Jimmy you're the master. That was one of the best diagnostic videos I've ever seen. You don't get enough recognition for you're work and especially passing on the knowledge. Many thanks.
Used to work with a guy in the RAF who's nickname was "JimmyTheBiz" ....this is your new nickname Jimmy. Brilliant diagnosis and to think how much money that Honda owner has probably had to spend unnecessarily because it wasn't diagnosed properly in the first place. Great job fella.
Just in case it helps you out, the following sensor is a perfectly functional alternative to these Honda pressure sensors. They are designed for Kia/Hyundai but they work the same and have the same connector. GSF stock them for around £80. A significant saving - the only difference is the fact they don't have the bracket integrated. That is all the difference is on the Honda type. Hella part number = 6PP009409-291
I went through all this on a facelift 2012 Honda accord i-dtec dpf hell 18 months ago i cleaned the dpf on and off the car replaced the cracked egr pipe (common issue) Replaced the coolant switch Changed the oil twice Changed the differential pressure switch off another part-out-car Aircon checked and worked didnt make a difference Injectors worked fine and not leaking. So i gave up in the end i went back to petrol and part ex'd it for a 2019 civic fk6 turbo130 (petrol) none PPF filter and its never given me a moments hassle even after 28k miles, just well serviced with liqui moly and added ceretec (i personally recommend).
Just watched the video.Well I heard it all now.A/C has to be running to carry out a DPF regen.No wonder they can't get people to work as car mechanics any more.Well done Jimmy and thanks for sharing this information.
Using my iCarsoft Pro computer the forced regen (which didn't work, have been trying to contact Jimmy) requires A/C on, bonnet open and headlights on high beam. Sat at 3,000rpm for 15 minutes then down to 1,500rpm and then idle, didn't extinguish the DPF! symbol. Didn't know about the oil level thing, will have to check it. There was a service bulletin in the first few years of the iDTEC engine that updated the ECU to reduce or prevent oil dilution. Should have been applied if the car was dealer serviced.
Its a joke isnt it. i dont agree when people gut them out but when they charging 700 quid for a sensor and you can get them gutted for £350 is it any wonder people just do it no more blocking no more cleaning etc... to be fair to the old honda at least it needed a new dpf after so many years not like the land rovers they need a new one ever 2 years lol
Wow 20 years and never seen that, as soon as I see the pressure sensor knew that was gonna be expensive as same on Lexus and Kia but no air con no regen that’s naughty
Hi, I have a honda civic 2018 diesel, recently did a forced regen on it, which was successful but got another fault code P24c6 soot sensor temperature circuit after 2 days 😢, when i checked online I suspect my pm sensor has gone faulty. Does anyone know who sell this sensor cheap? I could find only in hondadirectpart but its £700 plus which I think is a ripoff.
This was a weird one! So many unrelated things interfering with passive regen, and the end result is always the same - buy a new DPF. What a wicked business this has become!
There was a time Honda made sensible cars. They software could have been made so that the fans come on without anything to do with the A/C. One of the worst ideas I've seen yet as a regen prerequisite🙈🙈🙄
There must be some kind of independent board we can appeal to of manufacturers or something because these manufacturers are taking the piss at the point honestly😂 A/C preventing a DPF regen, what’s near rear passenger footwell seatbelt not fastened to correct tension..for gods sake
I like Honda's but their prices are insane. About 40 years ago I wanted a replacement seat for a Honda motorbike. It was a very basic seat, flat plastic base, simple level foam and covered in vinyl. The price even then was £350. I bought a new pattern replacement from a well known shop for £50. It was identical in every way including the quality.

That’s funny as hell, ash tray full 😂

Need better systems to compete
BS we need more

Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your skills are on another level. ❤
Imagine how good Jimmy would be if he didn't have to hold the camera and could use both his hands!!
I watched the last Honda and thought that’s crazy saying you need ac and oil correct before regen but then you prove it next day 😂

You are wise to keep filming these solo as the cameraman never dies.

Money saved in diesel Vs petrol is negated by modern diesel problems. Now cheaper to buy and run a petrol vehicle.
I'm impressed. Good work.
Thanks to the diagnostic tool you have up to date,,stupid thing ac linked to dpf regeneration ..great work there.
excellent Jimmy,I enjoyed watching that diagnoses .
Great information about the a/c Jimmy I never knew. Thanks has always for the great content.
Just watched the video.Well I heard it all now.A/C has to be running to carry out a DPF regen.No wonder they can't get people to work as car mechanics any more.Well done Jimmy and thanks for sharing this information.
Great info there. The Honda ac system isn't great for faults at that age so it could get expensive.
No words for this Nonsense.
And Honda is the last brand I would have expected this from.
Using my iCarsoft Pro computer the forced regen (which didn't work, have been trying to contact Jimmy) requires A/C on, bonnet open and headlights on high beam.

Very informative cheers
Given how unreliable Honda AC systems are, this has to be a major inconvenience if you own one of these.
Fantastic video never would have thought about that i wonder if its the same on all Honda's as they have common AC issues.
Tricky one that mate,well done and thanks for sharing the knowledge👍
700 quid for a bloody dpf pressure sensor... Don't know what they are smoking at Honda
Its a joke isnt it. i dont agree when people gut them out but when they charging 700 quid for a sensor and you can get them gutted for £350 is it any wonder people just do it no more blocking no more cleaning etc... to be fair to the old honda at least it needed a new dpf after so many years not like the land rovers they need a new one ever 2 years lol
Great video can you tell us more about AC pro kit and where to buy. I am not a mechanic but it’s my hobby to learn.
👌👌❤️❤️🇬🇧
I'd like to know more about the AC pro kit too
Halfords sell AC pro and probably other motorfactors
You can read AC gas pressure on the ECU and also clutch engagement 👍
Nice one
I didn’t know that. Thanks 👍
Wow 20 years and never seen that, as soon as I see the pressure sensor knew that was gonna be expensive as same on Lexus and Kia but no air con no regen that’s naughty
Good thinking batman

Need to high beam on too with my MOT Pro
Clever stuff👍
Faulty thermostat is common on these
well worked out jimmythebiz ha ha what a great nickname..
700 close friends....
still don't know how to reset the oil on a CRV 2.2 cdti...all the YT vids are Americans in petrol cars
👍🏻
There was a time Honda made sensible cars.
They software could have been made so that the fans come on without anything to do with the A/C.

They do. Turn the AC off and run the interior fan and on my Honda the front fans come on.

£700!!!! Close friends....buy a decent car for that.
