It's always a bonus when there are no unexpected complications. This job can be hard enough without the added stress. Cheers mate

Had a Ford in today stuck in limp mode - only running on the 2 middle cylinders, Peter. It has been everywhere & had 101 parts shot at it. I believe to date it has had well (well) over 2k of parts & who know what labour charges to no avail. Only relevant code from any of the previous messers is "Injector 4 wiring short circuit". It got 4 new injectors at 400 snots a piece, for example... no workey.. Didn't bother using any scanner as the car has been scanned to death everywhere already to no avail. Instead I drew out the injector wiring diagram "IRL" on a bit of cardboard by tracing the actual wires using a multi-meter/test light, took off the ECU, verified all the wiring was intact from the ECU out, then checked the pins on the ECU - which showed that the ECU was shorted internally on injector control circuits 1 & 4.. Which are the injectors that don't work... Roish... I opened the ECU for a Goo at the board - sure enough there was crustiness inside on the relevant traces, they sure look shorted - which is a 200 quid repair. Not the 2-3k the guy has already forked out for garbage.. "Practicality" often beats even the highest high tech when it comes to faults. Like with this boom-box ^.

Another great video. Getting the easy ones once in while always boosts the motivation. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos. 👍

Great Video 👍

“Fart arsin’” 😂 but the thing is that’s how we’re programmed…to try and make the impossible work…if it does….woohoo…if it doesn’t we’ll just spend more time and eventually buy the right part… The variety of work in your trade Peter is unbelievable..your a mechanic one minute..an electrician the next…a gas engineer the next and even a plumber at times…oh and a Hollywood director too 😊😉brilliant 👍🏻👍🏻

at my work i use a bosch kts diagnostic tool... changing theese are pretty straight forward with a bosch kts.... dont tried any other diagnostic tools... connect the bosch diag and "save the software/programing" from clockspring ecu in the bosch diag... change the clockspring assembly.... and "download" the programing/software in the new clockspring.... total time saving-changing-download is about 20 minutes...

I put a new clock spring in a Seat Ateca last month. It cured the air bag faults but the steering wheel controls stopped working. Long story short I had tried everything but had to pay a chap with VAG software to code it. The car was only four years old so I thought I’d mention that the later stuff will need coding. What age was the Skoda Peter?

Hello! I have the same problem with a 2011 Yeti. I only changed the airbag guide from E to AL end. it is programmed, but unfortunately it still doesn't work. The steering switches also need to be replaced, only then will it be good? VCDS error code: Airbag: 9437211 B1000 Steering wheel error code: 365080 U108E 00 The error phenomenon is the same airbag error, there is no horn and none of the multi-steering wheel buttons work. Can you help?

very nice peter when the job goes plain sailing. As you know as a fully Qualified Mechanic they dont all of the time. i like the new autel you have what the make of it. im thinking of up Upgrading cheers

👍🏻👍🏻

if theres one thing that bugs me is doing a job twice... i always find that when a customer (whos not mechanical minded at least) brings parts, there wrong, or a good percentage of the time... as for messing when your in there the first time, well you have to or its a wasted trip, and you never know theres a chance you can save someone a few quid... ... nice see you get a handy fix for a change tho.... hahahahaha

Great video it helped me so much but after I installed the new clock spring I got 2 messages. “Engine fault workshop” and the second one is “button for driver assistance system defective” and the epc light turned on. Can you please help me with this issue

The problem is mostly caused by women drivers with long hair The strands of hair wrap around the clock spring and subsequently breaks the wires on vw skoda audi and seat Cheers Peter
