Very interesting, one of the things I like is the care you take when placing tools on engine covers etc, handling delicate items not to cause any damage, attention to detail...nice!

Top job diagnosing this. Goes to show that you guys are definitely worth your salt. I totally get your comment about how ruined your body is. Years of body building followed by martial arts has left me damaged. The guys at work now refer to me as Mr Glass as something else is pretty much broken every week.

@senco981 2 ай бұрын

So much fun watching your diagnoses and repairs, thanks for it. Here is suggestion Ricky, put your meter in Kohm range and measure resistance between one of the pins and metal body of injector. I bet one of them is shorted to ground. Also, jut ohm reading will not show full story, you would need to measure inductance to see health of the coil, since injector pin is driven by inductor winding.

I have the exact same model 2008 R8 so I've watched this mysterious misfire diagnosis with more interest than normal. Excellent work. As it happens, I recently diagnosed a similar misfire problem on a customers Golf GTI TFSi. Real pain to pinpoint & damn expensive for a single genuine injector. Hope you all have a great wknd ahead 🍻

I pulled intake manifold on my 4.2L last month to carbon clean and flaw matching the injectors among other misc things. I just saw Rickey's comment about fuel injector's seal and car catching fire. That reminded me that I had to pull out fuel rail little bit to adjust few things but then I pushed it back in place without making sure that injector seals are not dislodged. Now I am going to remove fuel rail tomorrow to make sure everything is in place. Thanks Rickey.

@wynhughes9072 2 ай бұрын

Worked in aviation ( Aero Engine Test Bed ) and this procedure reminds me exactly what we used to do with a a suspect component. Check continuity and resistance against the Maint. Manual figures. Check to see if pins in the connector plugs haven't pushed back and if all ok run a 'hard wire' in to eliminate the harness. Nine times out of ten it would be a component failure

Well I did not expect what you found as a root cause since it tested good. Just goes to show why you make the big bucks mate! You also went further as a next step than just bypassing the loom.... Great job sir! I'd have waisted time with a compression check after bypassing the loom looking for a collapsed/broken valve spring... I get to blame you for mentioning the valve and being a real mechanic....

Great video, a lot of so called engineers give up too easily. Nothing better than when you find the problem. It’s getting the same in most areas of engineering now where if the fault code doesn’t point directly to the fix then people are stumped.

@johnyates3946 2 ай бұрын

I used to run around europe and the uk fixing things. Once the list of possibilities is known, you can rule 80% of the casues in 20% of the time. A lot of people make the mistake of going for a complex solution to the problem when 80% of the time it is a simple cause.

Good old fashioned fault finding, great episode and I know how hard it can be while being watched it does make things more difficult! I'd love to visit for a day to see behind the scenes !

@SB-vb8ch 2 ай бұрын

Continuity between the coil (either terminal) & body of the injector is where you're needing to check. I did suggest that it was most likely a ground leakage issue as the injectors are fired at high(ish) voltage.

@crashnburn2351 2 ай бұрын

Nice job! As for the injector, it probably failed on impedance or impedance change under load. The first being easy to test but the second, no so much.

@Russell_Duncan Ай бұрын

Enjoyed that job. Always interesting to see the diag process. I noticed the repair wires you used to make your test harness have the wee blue silicon seals on them. My local TPS keep telling me you can’t get wires with those seals pre-fitted. Are they talking shite?

Like probably 1000's I've dreamed of winning the lottery and buying a supercar. Having watched many of your episodes, have I got it wrong when they seem to suffer from very expensive "premature failures." In my years, I've clocked up many (quite rapid) high miles in vehicles of various makes and never suffered from other than what I would consider fair wear and tear.

Man. Even from working on my humble A4, I know how bloody uncomfortable it is to be leaning across an engine like that. That looks like a right pain of a job, that sounds like it should be easy. "Replace the injectors" 😂 Get an engine lift and put it through the hoop on the back of your jeans, then dangle yourself over the engine 😂😂😂

A couple of great videos, watching you diagnose a problem and rebuilding engines is great to watch and you really know your shit, definitely one of the best techs I’ve seen around. A quick question regarding the injectors, seeing as they are relatively cheap is it worth replacing all of them as a bit of preventative maintenance and in case any of the old ones have slightly different flow rates considering their age? Love the videos

@38:22 Have you considered building a wooden platform that straddles both sides of the car with suitable foam padding on the inside to protect the paint on the rear panels. You could build in rungs so you can climb up safely. Build a prototype, perfect the size then add hinges so the legs fold in, so it won’t take up too much room when not in use. Once your happy make a foam comfort cushion for the top and jobs done.
