Don't do that with your hand! Metal spikes sticking up and you'll "sharp" know about it! 🫣

I don't know anything about what you are doing, but that looks like a ton of grease

Hello Pal, I'm near Crewe, where are you based and do you have a contact number, cheers Pete

Aftermarket part by any chance?

Am a daf mechanic

You should kink the bottom of the clamp with pliers this will stop the clamp going the bore regards Fred

20 year olds wont be able to afford maintenance on these cars, thats how these cars get ruined

What car are you planning on putting it in? Btw really nice work there!

Nice vid, How many years have u been working as a hgv tech and did u start as an apprentice?

I have never done a bodge job in my life , i have done loads of custom repairs ,and people pay through the nose for custom work lol

My nephew started an apprentiseship as a hgv mechanic or for an hgv firm . Im just wondering whats the 5 most required tools he will need .... 1) I was thinking milwaukee 12v right angeled rachet but all the lads said the right angeled impactor is alot stronger more torque for loosing an tightening things esp on a lorry (need your opinion) 2) a stubby 12v milwaukee for comfort where it can be used 3) a good selection of bars an various sockets ?? But which size do i get 3/8 or 1/2 an which make is good value for rent .... iv 3 kids of my own an i seen a mikwaukee bundle ..Nut gun 18v rachet3/8ths 12v an stubby impactor 12v £550 with a wee bag for him an all i told his dad i would go halfs way him an sent th link .... but hes lookn a tool box an socket sets an oik filter removers for hgv an i dont know which 1s to buy for him bro... uno that way ..

Change the oil pump and those rubber orings from those 2 tubes because that is your main problem , look at air compressor to and to the crankcase gas module because those are common problems on Detroit engines of Mercedes.

Nice one mate

Hi dan i can't wait to see the outcome of the mercedes argos engine brilliant video thanks

I do enjoy watching others work lol...amazing how different manufaturers engine do look alike and how they do things ,,ie the EGR cooler on the merc compared to the DAF ...It is probably a small end knock ie the gudgeon pin as you found ..They type of jobs are a pain / worry as to strip it etc then put it back together and it still knocks is my worse nightmare ,Especially when it is a customers vehicle ,,nothing is cheap nowdays along with the labour costs ,,Back when the LF was launched 2001 i think ,it was then about 2006 we had a few of the cummins with a small end knock..You need to get one of those clip on mics that looks like a pager of old ,as the sound quality is letting you down ...From the distance they merc discs looked ok ..To many people down discs for cracks when they are totally servicable ..heat cracks are fine ,i even think you are allowed up to a mil when it comes to how wide it can be ,,As long as it is not the whole width of the disc , sadly due to age i can't remember all the criteria lol but that is what manuals and bulletins are for lol...I was impressed how easy the disc came off ,,That wouldn't happen on the small FTP axle ,that comes off in a hundred bits ...Are you at the Royal Mail now ??

Great Job, I wish I was working together with you

Hi , Daf vs Scania... After 2019... Overall Durability score from 0 to 100. Please 😁

Aaah. Started on merc hgv. Replaced many a caliper on those too haha

When u get into work do u get assigned tasks to complete or do u just work on whatever isn’t being worked on how does that all work? Nice videos

You probably know more. I saw another video before. It showed that sensor as the inlet sensor. Which i thought was right as its right next to the exhaust inlet to the muffler. Can you please clarify?

Hi. With any Mercedes with SAM / SSAM etc you need to allow all systems to fully shut down to clear faults. Especially EBS as this has a safety data memory back up which will only clear with a control unit reset even if the fault is fully repaired. Ignition off, keys out, unplug diagnostic interface & wait for the dash screen to totally shut down. Then ignition on & re-scan. Try this before going any further! You may have fixed the fault without realising it.

Great content mate 👍

Hi dude, a guy I work with who I have a lot of time for did his apprenticeship at Ryder :) Nice video

Well explained thanks

Sounds like Tyson Fury

🤢

Best car I've owned. Had 3 of them now. Can't really fault them.

Dan , they're like the older dennis eagle lift axle bushes. 😊,

Bell video

Bin the music mate, no need for it on vids like these.

Correct that code will not clear ,You have to do a nox monitor test ,with the DAVIE ..Have a load in the vehicle , Should have said there are 2 versions of the test one is a simple version and one is a pain ,it just depends on the vehicle the one you need to do ,,Davie says what parameters you need to hit for the nox monitor to start ,,when it passes it will put the light out ..Or if you have the capability and you know you have fixed it reprogramme it

Cool bus there bud 😀

Should see some of the fabrications ive made in the past, calling them bodges would be kind 😂

You can do the sprinter lower arms without removing the hubs

Hi buddy it’s me from the other week again. Just wanted to let you know that I have a Microsoft teams interview for a HGV technician apprentice vacancy close to my residence . Is there any advice you could give me ? Anything that I should know before the interview that I could maybe work on or study .

Seems techs run away from those crap van jobs. 🤔, Good to get back on hgvs.. 👍🏻

Does taking the bottom pulley of affect the timing chain. Is the timing chain pulley keyed to the crankshaft or is it a floating pulley design?

you must be a gluten for punishment Dan buses/ vans worst things to work on oh and cars . Royal mail stuff is run into the ground and not replaced regular bet you can't wait to get back on the trucks .

How did you become an HGV mechanic? Is there a school in this direction? I am also interested in motorcycle mechanics. I service my motorcycle and I would like to become a motorcycle or car mechanic Is there a chance if have 40 age ? Not education in this field.? Schools are for young people and they use up a lot of time for 3-4 years. How to go about it. Thanks a lot ?

Thats a good idea i'll remember next time i replace these

I enjoy your work I have a question for you . Mercedes actors wipers coming on when indicator are used and some times just come on there own..

nice work Dan you didn't last long at stagecoach 😂😂😂😂buses are shit I've done a bit sorry not for me hope royal mail works out better for you 👍👍

Hi pal I’m also from the UK and just wanted to ask a question if that’s okay with you . Most of the apprenticeships I see posted say that it’s a level 3 (A level ) apprenticeship . Does this mean I have to go to uni or have A levels of some sort because I don’t . How did you become a HGV mechanic ? I subbed to you to pal 👍🏻

i wouldn not take the disc out . just the hub

Another great watch, congratulations on your new job

Hi when do the posts trucks come of fleet miles age condition

They do, well can, but not in the way you're describing, back in the late eighties, me and two other fitters had to move an old truck that had been parked for a while. We got it going, all jumped in the cab and moved off, I said you better try the brakes, which he did, then it felt like the whole truck was going over, we all realised at the same time it was just the cab, we sat looking at the road p155ing ourselves with laughter. The old trucks used to have a bolt mechanism to hold the cab down, this had not be done up. It was certainly a very weird feeling!

Where in the north west are you

How long do you get to do this job?

Did you do part 2?
