Nationwide Garage company incorrectly diagnosed this Ford S Max 2.0 Tdci with an exhaust gas temperature sensor. multiple garage trips with no solution he decided to drive across the voluntary to me to get it resolved.

Great work Jimmy, excellent content and true life, bloody seem to really rust in more with c-max and connects more than transits. Keep up the fantastic job, eventually others will catch up, it does make me wonder how many car owners when other garages quote silly £€$ just write the vehicle off. Maybe some are more focused on EV and HEV and just not interested how some of these systems work, i love to see the logical process not only with diagnostics but what most dont even look at LIVE DATA (fault code clearing clowns) keep it up Jimmy

£600 😲 for a sensor Never in my life would I pay that for a sensor That's a joke

Probably not just the sensor. Diagnostic fees, knowing them lots of additive sales and a service

thanks for the new video. in Italy we have not mounted these fuel dispensers on the exhaust to raise the temperatures in the dpf and start cleaning. but everything happens with the sprays of the injectors in post combustion. the only problem is that part of the diesel injected into the combustion chamber goes ending up in the oil sump .. and contaminating the oil . we have more frequent oil changes .

Now would it be a bad idea to hook up the vacum pump to the vaporiser before removing it to test if it? Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

Issue here is 2 stools. This falls between them. Lads that are good at using the scanners don't want to use spanners..They're Scanner Guys... Lads that are good at spanners don't know how to use scanners - they're Spanner guys... So this ^ falls into a Grey Zone - you need someone who can use both a scanner & a spanner - and those are Hens Teeth. I know this as most of what I do is Hens Teeth stuff - I see how far people drive to get here - 5 hours is not uncommon - which suggests we're rare if they have nobody closer. . I do the same work you do, Jimmy, and I fix corrosion issues too. People are "amazed" we can fix stuff almost nobody else will touch - Spanners & Scanners with added welders = Ultimate Hens tooth. :-) We never advertise - our work all comes from other garages/word of mouth - I bet you are much the same. You're a Hens Tooth. So are we.

Hi Jimmy, great videos and lots of help. I have the 2.0l tdci s-max (200k miles) with a P244C (low temp). Temp sensors are grand, measure approx 200 to 300 running. I changed the Vaporizer and monitor the ON signal and temp using OBD2 reader. Temp reaches 400c max. Now, my question, 😅 the closed loop is approx 50% +/- 10% after active regen but, the open loop is 200% plus. Im taking the dpf off for a wynns off car wash this weekend. Will the open loop drop once i start driving it and see an active regen? Or do i need to reset all dpf values on Forscan? Again great vids and notice a lot of S maxs 🤔 Should have watched until the end. Still a great vid. 😅🤦

Jimmy great info about the open/closed loops..can the average distance between regens and miles since last regen give you any clues you have an emissions problem..
