Hey thanks for the comment. Oh most definitely. It's bad enough trying to keep these engines running as it is......not servicing them is just madness in my eyes.

Ha ha ha You can't buy a manual any more!. I heard it was more cost-effective to sell automatic-only gearboxes over the entire NGD range (XD-XB-XG) than let drivers loose with a manual 😂😂😂

I'm in new zealand I drive a 2018 dafcf 85 with a 18 speed roadranger manual 500000 kms on the clock and still on the original clutch

People like you are few and far between who have mechanical sympathy for a vehicle buddy 😌 most people treat company assets like they are disposable. I once fitted 2 clutches to the same VOLVO FM IN A MONTH!

I supplied and fitted a complete turbo and actuator not long ago for £2400. I would go elsewhere buddy

@@TRUCKTECHUK I looked around and this Holset vtg actuator is really expensive 1720724RN. Other sellers wants from 4000 up to 6000 €. I found new replacement actuator in Poland for 740 € with 6m warranty and repaired for 450 €(must give them mine actuator). Probably will try one of these cheaper solutions because whole truck worth 15000-17000 €.

hey, thanks for the comment and for watching the videos! I do not think DAF have any more or fewer issues than other trucks i think it is because DAF have the market share is the reason why you see more issues from owners/drivers as they are more common. I can't comment on the XB as they are still under warranty/RM contract maintenance. But the engine is still a Cummins ISB at the end of the day....all trucks have positives and minuses!it is knowing how to navigate the faults that are key!

nooooo problem my freind. 😎👌

Thank you buddy 👍😎

Happy to help

I don't belive they break down alot.....I just think there is ALOT of DAF products on the road. So much so I can do easily do over 50 hours labour a week fixing them for customers.

Hey, thanks for watching the video. I should do the video...it will be pretty boring really ha ha ha it won't take an hour or two to change I'd say and it has no computer setting up involved in the replacement unfortunately.....its the cost of the part that's the issue but I think I've got a solution coming for that when I get 5 minutes ha ha ha

@@TRUCKTECHUK interesting! Could save owners a few K! Watch all your videos now, only problem is that I think I have all the issues on my truck 😂.

@user-jl2lk7cn1k ha ha ha is it even a DAF TRUCK if it doesn't have a warning light or 4 lol

@@TRUCKTECHUKstill more comfortable from the drivers seat than our Scanias ! Dreading the day Trev says I’m getting a scanny but finding you may of put that day off for a bit longer 👍🏼 he even recommended you to Mr Talbot after sorting the fault on my truck.

He should get more DAFS 😂😂😂. I've been down to Mr. Talbot and knowing he has DAVIE-4 means that an update for your gearbox might be more possible than IMPOSSIBLE now by the way!

Oh mate if I fixed all the faults at once for customers they would have to sell the truck to pay for the repairs 😅😅😅😅. And what's the chance of one fault happening just after I change the gearbox modulator!!!!

Hey man, thanks for supporting me by watching the videos 😎👍. My First year has been a whirlwind but I'm starting to find my feet. Honestly....when I think back and look at the situation from a business perspective, I don't know what I was thinking 😅 but we're getting to a place now where I could potentially help more technicians learn with a physical 'truck tech UK' location for independent DAF product repairs and learning. Here is to year two I suppose lol

@@TRUCKTECHUK Of course it will be your second year, and there will be many more, you have enormous potential and you think about helping many more. but you have already taken the first step as an independent businessman, I am very happy that you have great support from your family. I'm glad for you

Your words mean a lot to me, thank you for the support!

Thank you. Closed captions should translate this for you from English. I will check the subtitles it auto-generates later for you

@@TRUCKTECHUK 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey buddy, thanks for the comment and for watching the videos! Oh 25 DAFS lol poor you haha I'm glad you found the content helpful......thing is, nothing I do is a secret! I just love my job and want to pay it back to people who want to learn

hey, beny! Its good buddy! Hopefully, they expand more on it! its certainly cheaper than DAF RMI anyway 👍

Thanks for dropping by buddy 👍

Hey Benny thanks for the comment and for watching buddy It's a Dual Lens Endoscope Camera amzn.eu/d/07aOqOet. This one above was my preferred camera but I slammed it into my draw 🫣 it's better than the one I use in the video so I'd go with that if I had the choice buddy 👍

@@TRUCKTECHUK thanks very much 👌

@bennycovelly960 no problem mate 😎

Most definitely buddy! It's always been a dream to run some sort of community workshop once a month for daf technicians. If I can get a workshop sorted, I could put a course together. Set some faults on a truck and get people down to learn. We could video the WHOLE thing and the people that couldn't make it could learn too! It would be AMAZING 👏

@@TRUCKTECHUK only problem is do you get out of touch quite quickly when your e in a classroom and no longer actually fault finding ,because stuff moves on so quickly ?

@Tubecraft1 I want to have an independent DAF workshop, most probably based in the northwest. Manchester area I'd say due to the number of customers I do work for in that area. The advantage of this then would be I could open the workshop or split it into a training area also. Customers could bring trucks with faults on a particular evening when they are struggling and as a group, we could do the diagnostics on said truck. I wouldn't give up the whole diagnostic thing, end of the day i love doing what i do!.....my problem is I run before I can walk 😅😅😅😅😅

@@TRUCKTECHUKI just booked flight to Manchester for the workshop opening 😂 Awesome video again with not so awesome English weather. Keep the excellent work mate!

Ha ha ha I need to move house and find a workshop first but it's on the cards ha ha ha. Yes the weather has been so crazy recently.....I think we had our week of summer months ago ha ha ha

Hi, thanks for dropping in. So check the air tanks for water.... Your compressor head gasket could have blown. Check the header tank in case it's putting water out of the overflow down the side of the radiator. You might want to change the header tank....other than that your liners have dropped and it's a head gasket issue. The correct level on the gauge is halfway. If it keeps getting hot I'd check/ change the thermostats and seal also. Do these repairs in order of cheapest components first 👍

Thank you, brother. I would like to ask you a question about air pressure

I am from northern Iraq. My brother, the temperature here is quite high, approximately 48/50 degrees Celsius. His temperature sensor reaches more than half, meaning 1/2 or 2/3. Is this normal or not?

Hey Ash 👋 it's available from 24.2 just like the Knorr-Bremse diagnostic integration is now. Again these are all additional modules you need to speak to Eclipse about activating if you want them 😎

No problem John. 😊 thanks for taking the time to watch buddy 😎

Hey thanks for watching 👀. I've always liked this compared to the battery ratchet I had before this. I've always found my impact to rip most things off just fine but I know others have struggled with it power-wise 🫣

@TRUCKTECHUK my boy loves his impact ratchet uses for nearly every thing. I think you could do a video on toolbox tour. Of what you carry etc as a mobile fitter and diagnostic

Ha ha ha well I've a 72" master series with a hutch collecting dust in storage with a shed load of tools in and what I carry on the van depends on what jobs I'm going to as if it's fuel faults say I won't take electrical wiring, water pump and bucket but I will take my leak off test kit, pressure tester and compressor. It's amazing how structured I need to be in a small van. This is why I'm at a crossroads with things currently. Get a workshop or more vans on the road

Hey Rick, thanks for the comment. It's amazing how things have changed over the years! I remember as an apprentice how electrical fundamentals and computers were things I didn't care about! Funny how that changed over 20 years ha ha ha As for fuel faults, it's more of a fuel quality issue I think that causes all these issues. I think 4 more additional fuel filters and everything would be fiinneeee 😂😂😂

Hey James thanks for the comment and watching the video. DAF doesn't want you fitting a DPF, they want their workshop doing it mate. I've always tried to educate people on how and what to use and I think the lube P80 is £80 from daf

Hey Steve 👋 thanks for the comment buddy. Was your DPF change due to a pressure issue or was this done for a mileage based service?

@@TRUCKTECHUK mileage mate

Did you use the official daf tool lol

@@TRUCKTECHUK no mate a couple of pry bars and it came out ok but i have used the DAF tool before

ill tell u what mate these new gen XG range are not as good as the previous XFS recalls after recalls with them

Cheers mick. Hope your well buddy.....no breakdowns this weekend I hope!

@@TRUCKTECHUK now mate wasn't my weekend in was busy last night

Ha ha ha well I had the tool at DAF didn't I 😅😅😅😅 I'd buy one until I found out the price 😮‍💨 It is easy with the P80 lube lol Is this your guess for that white DAF XF that kept kicking back and had pressure in the header tank?

@@TRUCKTECHUK Ah the header tank...if MY17 compressor .or dropped liner though I am not a fan of the latest head gasket..it has a fire ring that can eat in to the head

Hi buddy. Thanks for the comment and for watching 😎 I had a workshop years ago and it was a massive financial issue. Unfortunately buying a workshop won't be on the cards for along time and the flexibility to up scale the size of the workshop by moving is a plus point for renting. I just need to grow the business and i not only need the space for stock and packing, I'm hoping to run courses/classes from the unit on DAF products

Hi, thanks for the comment. The basic package is here: www.eclipse-tech.co.uk/product/jaltest-cv-kit-eobd-only-with-testpad/

@@TRUCKTECHUK Thanks for the prompt response. I will look it over and consult with you for any additional info. Thanks again.

@lLEGENDRADIO1 no problems 😊

It's just one of them things 🤷🫣 I'm glad you enjoyed the video buddy 👍👀

Thank you buddy. And. thanks for watching 👍😎

Ha ha ha and changing the radiator is so much fun 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

@@TRUCKTECHUK even more so when it was heading for Italy the next morning 😂

Thanks ✌️

Hi buddy thanks for the comment 👍. The ratchet model is FRAIWF38-0

Hey buddy! Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked the video 😎

Hi Leone, p0094 is a high-pressure fault so think injectors or fuel pressure control valve. Provided your low pressure isn't starving the high-pressure of fuel. Hope this helps 👍

Fiz um teste de desvio de injecao ea sexta unidade esta variando com valor mto alto em relacao as outras isso pode ser conciderado um defeito a pressao do daf em marcha lenta seria qual? Obgado ele e um mx13

Seus videos estao me ajudando mto aqui no brasil vc e mto inteligente vlw msm

​@LeoneFelippe-jd8mw you should have 6 bar at idle and about 9 bar at 1200 rpm. Correctional value should be under 9 percent during a high pressure leak off test

​@@LeoneFelippe-jd8mwthank you buddy I glad I could help

Hey Geoff. No buddy the smaller truck, the DAF LF or the newest model that has now replaced that is called a XB is actually a CUMMINS engine so the engines I work on are PACCAR and CUMMINS.

​@TRUCKTECHUK thanks for replying, here in NZ, most, nearly all, go for Cummings

Ah right! Cummins used to be fitted to the CF and XF under the Foden brand but PACCAR dropped that brand and stopped fitting Cummins in favour of using the DAF brand and Paccar engine. Like I say the only truck to have a Cummins now is the smallest truck and that still says PACCAR over the cummins badge.

No problem buddy 👍 glad you liked the video 😎

Ha ha ha I need to stop quoting torque settings off the top of my head. I'd cut the bit where I check them with a ratchet as it doesn't make good KZfaq lol I think I've always done the opposite cylinder when the inlet has been down but then I always check the cylinder I'm doing for free play on the rocker arm also 🤣 I HATE doing valve clearances.......I've only 3 more trucks booked for this month for valve clearances and I was in Wolverhampton yesterday doing a set too 😪.......I'm thinking its time I opened a DAF workshop with all this maintenance going on! The injector I've always done the injector up and then the tube.....I think that's the way I did it in this video unless I've messed up the order of the footage 🫣 I use to have a rivet also, it's in the toolbox at home....I need a bigger van to get the toolbox in. It's what's to hand these days 🤷 Did you see the exhaust brake rocker arms on 5 and 6 shooting oil out at the end of the video when I had the rocker cover off again 🫣

Thank you! Cheers buddy 😎👍

Hey buddy. Thanks for the comment and I hope you find the videos useful at some point 😎👍

Watch every video mate I have, if you work on dafs you’ll find the vids very helpful!

Thanks for the comment and for watching buddy 😎👍

Hey Steve buddy! Yep the water pumps are great to do on mx-13 😎👍

Hey mick. Thanks for watching and i Hope you're enjoying your weekend buddy!

Hey buddy thanks for the comment. I've upgraded recently from recording on my glasses to an Insta 360 go3s. It is a good little camera but only lasts 30 minutes between charges

Hello buddy😊,once again i find myself in this video😉. Can you give me the part number for the water pump sensor plz.. the same that you changed in this video..thanks mate.. waiting for your anwser bro😅

Hey teddy. The part number for the speed sensor is 2045580. It's a non-genuine pump and speed sensor as its half the price. Hope this helps

@@TRUCKTECHUK sure it helps.. i think i need to go through a genuine water pump paccar so.. so in which XF do they use 2055580 buddy🤔🤔?????

All your videos help me a lot mate🫡🫡
