I love how Jimmy meets 90% of his customers in a dodgy lay-by or side road😂

That air filter is a view for non mechanics into our world. Folk drive stuff into the ground then complain and expect us to sort the mess caused by been a tight a**e. Anyway, I've done this for 30 years now Jimmy, all in the safety of a shop with a lift and all the tools, you have my total respect for doing the same job on the roadside, top man.

No way in hell that can got a new engine weeks ago, the air filter tells me that the owner hasn't spent a £1 on this van, people tell the craziest stories to alleviate themselves of any possibility it is them who could be at fault.

The air filter was also brand new 10 minutes before it 'just' conked out

Paid for a new engine but they transferred the old oil and filter.

That DPF reminded me of the schoolboy practical joke of stuffing potatoes up exhaust pipes. The air filter reminded me of the one I found in my 2010 BMW diesel that I bought last year that had a "full service history". 🤣

Another great video Jimmy. If he has just had a new engine, you would have thought they might have gone to the expense of fitting a new air filter. Well stuck at and hopefully he got home ok 👍🏼

I’d say someone seriously neglected the maintenance on that engine. Clogged air filter is a sign someone scrimped on looking after the engine, I mean an air filter is cheap to buy and if they can’t be bothered to change that, I doubt they’ve done anything else to the engine like put ad blue in, changed oil, new glow plugs etc

If the guy recently paid £10.000 for that engine he was scammed as the air filter alone says everything.

I've seen a few of these euro 6 2 litre Transits that have got dead DPFs, i think its going to get more common.

Based on the air filter, it suggests the new engine didn’t stand a chance - you’d think that would have been checked along with other service basics.

We had a VW Transporter like this 2 weeks ago, Took 2 hours to get it to run properly again, it was so bad, that it had melted the DPF pressure sensor and burnt a hole in it, the good news is the VW is still running now and all is good, took us 2 cleans to get it good,

Never seen anything run perfect with a blocked air filter. If that's a new engine or had a reconditioned fitted I'll eat my hat. Things never been serviced in its life. But could be wrong. People who do like myself do high mileage I change all my filters once a month on all my vehicles. And use red x once a month never have any problems. Great information videos keep them coming 👍

Hi Jimmy, had a similar problem dpf & cat blocking on a 2.2 diesel after engine rebuild, someone had left the old injector washers in also fitted new ones, I removed the set that had been left in cured the problem 👍

Thanks Jimmy excellent u the Main man,, 💯

Unbelievable how blocked that thing is! My guess as well, if O’riley can’t fix it. It needs replacing lol. But as always, 10/10 diagnoses and got the van to a state to at least limp home!

Impressive , love the "noooo" when it died 😁

Had the same thing with one of these the other day it had a split in the flexi pipe and was able to clean it straight away and get it started. Then they replaced the flexi pipe for a second hand one and then it blew a hole in that one aswell😂 managed to get it flushed and cleaned down to about 11mbar 👍🏽

Good job 👍

This could be a symptom of serious injector failure. The codes for injector trim out of range won't show up in the standard EOBD trouble codes, you need FORscan to get them out. I wouldn't be surprised if there were one or two injectors that are just stuck open and flooding the DPF with fuel. Best case it would remain in the filter and turn to soot, worst case it would be in a situation of permanent regen which would melt it solid. So before fitting a new DPF I'd check if those injectors are still good (the mileage is pretty suspect), because otherwise you'd immediately destroy a new DPF as the root cause of it was not addressed.

First thing i do is look at the air filter when I buy a car or van if you see things like that then run away .

Check the turbo hose had the same problem had a small crack in the rubber coupler. After a new rubber and dpf cleaner spray and fuel additive everything cleared car drives like new with lots more torque

Top man 👍

Good video unlucky result

DPF KING 👍👍🔥🔥🚗🚗

Can almost guarantee that turbo impeller is flapping around . Very common on the ecoblues. Intake air flow code can set with a lazy throttle plate- Throttle bodies go on em too, although looking at that air filter element😂 that dpf back pressure though 😮

😊 nice work

After months of frustration, I injected caustic soda to clean out the carbon followed by hydrochloric acid to clean out the ash (putting a bowl at the end of the exhaust to catch the debris) with GREAT success.

Hi Jimmy had a real stubborn one last week on a transit 2.2 .tried liquid moly and jlm in the applicator not much success then put off car wynns cleaner neat in and came down after 2 attempts .only £24.00 for 5 litres as well !

The fly tipping will have to wait now

Could you put a bottle of Wynns PDF cleaner in a tank of diesel every now and again as a preventative for keeping you PDF clean Jimmy?

@O'Rilieys does the DPF have a service / cleaning interval and are you able to do wet belt replacements on this engine?

What's the idea of that bit of fabric stuff glued onto the paper flutes?

My guess would be either dpf melted during regen and caused it to cut out or injectors are spewing fuel in, same result either way. Cant win them all jimmy, just hipe you still got paid for the work 🙌

Diagnostics should of told you how long the engine light was on for or freeze frame data on the fault codes

was that van ever serviced?

£10,000 for new engine very recently, it indeed of a major service....Air filter was a cracker for a supposedly new engine lol

10k and they didn't change the air filter.

Have yougot anything in the Milton Keynes area.

Why was the engine replaced? Did the customer say. Turbo maybe, something filled the DPF up to start with. Probably the air filter played a part - could have caused over fuelling. Vehicles run forever without servicing 😜

it said 492 miles until no start on the dash , its had a problem for a few hundred miles at least .

Sounds like a not so honest customer 😮

dpf has collapsed, disconnect the exhaust before and it'll run like a champ

Amazes me how some people will do No yearly maintenance on their vehicles then moan when things go wrong.

One careful owner me thinks.

Before you said it had £10k spent, all i was thinking was it's a badly maintained van

Ove fueling due to blocked air filter

If its had an engine it wont be new. its a second hand one with many issues that clearly wasnt looked after.

That engine sounds crackered, was knocking like a crack head after a fix!!!!

Had their money's worth out of the air filter . Seemed to be a fair amount of duct tape in the engine bay as well . If you're running a vehicle to feed your family you'd maybe look after it a wee bit better

The one I owned had a sticky throttle which blew the turbo, dumped a load of oil into exhuast system and wrote the vehicle off. I'd never buy another 2.0 Ford again!

10k for a new engine?? Bro just buy a used box van that works for 10k! Probs find one with less miles as well lol

Is their a silencer/muffler after the dpf , and could it be possible that is blocked?

£10,000 for a knackered engine, they saw him coming.

10k for new engine? After looking at that it was bought unseen!

10k new engine 😂 the air filter was changed yesterday honest

I think it was a £100 engine and £9,900 labour charge

did his nose get bigger , the more he spoke to you jimmy 🙄🙄🤣🤣

6554 hPa 🤣

Notting worse breaking down on d side of the road stranded well done jimmy at least he won’t need to get towed to the garage

It had a good battery 🤣

Ten k engine on a 5k van

Jimmy 10k me ⚽️ ox

10 grand for an engine he was ripped off propper, the oil was like tar air filter blocked dpf solid Oh deary me

Yeahhh zero regular maintanance and it just stalls?? How strange.....

Bet the old engine destroyed the DPF.

£10k and it’s got duct tape holding it together? I’m sure a brand new engine is only like £7-8k from ford

New secondhand engine maybe 😂

Well I'm guessing the new 10k engine is still sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Outside the air filter, all the dust and grime on the pipes tells me nobody touched that engine in a while. That or he got scammed hard by some dodgy mechanic.

spends 10k on an engine. Can't be bothered to change his air filter 🤷‍♂

Mk8 transits are rubbish even ford dealers say they are the worst transit ever

Ripped off £10k for an engine for a 2.0 panther pile of junk.

10k engine for a 5k van is a 2 dollar wh*re with a 4 dollar haircut 💇‍♀️
