Thank you very much for the video - very informative. Can I offer some constructive (and I hope non-passive aggressive) feedback? Slow down and apply less force, when disassembling an assembly such as this. You mention that both the push-fit connectors are unreliable and that the heater clips are difficult to replace and unreliable. As I see it, there is a significant amount of damage being done in your removal technique, which is to blame for the aforementioned difficulties. For example, when removing the heater plate clips, spend more time aligning your tool (i.e. flat head screwdriver) into exactly the right position before levering, instead of having 'a bunch of goes at it'. Again - I hope this comes across as a friendly engineer advising a fellow engineer, and not pas-ag trolling! :)

Lucky for me I live in a soft water area. Though descaling also will work with white spirit vinegar as well, as that is also a mild organic acid. But yes have used citric acid, as well as ascorbic acid, which works well for this. Pretty much any non toxic weak organic acid works.

Nice video, I have one of these, wierd burning small and now it displays fine, you can set voltage amps etc but it's not supplying voltage to the leads it seems. If I hook it up say 16V 1amp knowing the battery it's hook up to is say 15v (so it'll pull something) it just shows 00.00v, any clues welcome, cheers

Seen that type of heater before, from memory they are PTC heaters so as temperature increases so does resistance so they will stabilize at a fixed temperature, the worst fake i had years ago basically had 2 of those and a switch with no electronics. Was hoping the fake days were past but it may have just begun :(....again

Ceramic resistors are common, cheap to make, and reasonably reliable, as they will crack but keep on working, and then whaen they crumble to dust the plates short out, and blow the traces off the PCB, or blow the cable. Note they seem to have forgotten about the plug fuse as well, though I would say the wires only have 5 strands of thin copper like material in them, either CCA, mystery copper or steel.
@SeanBZA13 күн бұрын
They did the wrong model number because they have a few reels of the old fake part number stickers, so want to use them up first, as after all making that fake reel of labels cost money, and buyers will only complain after the sale by a few months, long enough to have gotten a few thousand more sales. Poor castings and mouldings, because they used 3D scans of the originals, so they have resolution problems on the making the moulds, and also the poor resolution shows up as the poor dots in the logo, and the poor finish inside because fixing that takes time. Sold in bulk to the poorer countries, tying in to the GHD brand, but at a much lower price, so they are moving thousands a month. Very popular by me, and you see them advertised by all sorts of sellers, which means the genuine part does not sell at all, because the fakes are a third the price, and probably last a year in use before failing, then get replaced with another fake one.

Not a good tech handling. Use a smaller solder iron tip, and "clean". Your dirty and large tip made a mess on board. Use a paste style of solder flux, like 8341 No Clean Flux Paste from MG, instead of wet all board with liquid ones, another mess. Don't need to apply so much Chipquik low temp melting solder, just a fine line, don't waste time - lift the chip as soon both sides are melted, immediately, with tweezer, not pliers. In some cases when the chip is very thin and difficult to grab with tweezers I glue a sewing thread with super glue (just a small dot) on center of the chip, and keep pushing gently, when the chip is ready it will lift easily.

Love how the UK plugs are decently made and fused. Thanks for the look! I ordered one of these cheap things to come state side. Obviously quality control is - Non-existent. Will go through it and make sure everything is grounded properly. You shouldn't need the internal fuse after adding the new fused plug, but no harm in leaving it. I'll probably open mine up and change out the cord.

Your two readings of 27 ohms and 15 ohms between each the thermal fuse pad and its associated element wire tell me that the thermal fuse pads are connected between a split element. ie 27 + 15 = total of 42 The Platinum + that I have here appears to have a similar 4 wire Element/Thermistor arrangement. ie. I measure 40 ohms for the element and 490 ohms for the thermistor. The thermistor appears to be a PTC type. Do you have any info on the specs for the internal Thermistors at all ?

You seem to be using an older apk software. I bought a B41T+ meter and the software seems to have changed to iMETER apk which i believe is valid also for the OW18E. The iMETER software is missing numerical values on horizontal and vertical scales on data graph which makes the whole point of a graph useless. The old software does not seem to appear on site or Playstore.

Screws that are supplied are prepacks made by the cheapest supplier. I almost invariably never use them at all, using either chipboard screws or drywall screws, bought from Pelican MIS, as those are the strongest screw you can get. They will self drill, even though they are not actually self drilling, and will go into 2mm steel tube no problem.

Also the outer pin that is supposed to get pushed up seems to have seized completely in the bar itself and I'm not sure how to get it unstuck without breaking it. These bars seem to be pretty low quality. I don't think I will be able to salvage mine to get through yearly inspections (I wonder how my car passed last year before buying it?) and I have no clue where to get a new one of these.

Thought I'd mention, at 2:44 you talk about Honda not locking doors automatically when you drive away. They do actually do this, it just may not be turned on in your car. It's been a minute since I knew my way around their infotainment, but the way it *used* to be set was in the Settings, Vehicle Settings, Door Lock Settings. Looking at the manual for a modern one, it looks like in the dashboard settings there's a "Door Setup" setting. Either way, you're looking for "Auto Door Lock" and you can choose to have it Disabled, With Vehicle Speed (over here in the states it was 10mph), or Shift From P. It was literally my job to know the settings and systems of the vehicles. That's all I did, was show people and help people set things up or understand how to use the tech or other things in the cars. I always advised against the extended warranties. Dealerships suck, full stop.

@@Trevs-ShedWhat an odd thing to omit. I'd assumed the software, like the rest of the car was a global platform with whatever regional differences. Esoecially considering the manual from Honda UK for the 16-21 model years even includes it (which I did check before posting.) Go figure. I imagine you've tried it, but the old-school method of park (or neutral maybe, if stick), e-brake, brakes, ignition, out of P/N, hold Lock button. It's quite confusing and poorly documented, but its how they used to set it before the big screens were added. Sorry for giving you bad information earlier. What a load of nonsense. Infinite wisdom of Honda indeed.
