The BEST All-in-one car scanner? Launch X431 Elite BBA Review
Launch X431 BBA on Amazon (affiliate): locally.link/E0p2
Who needs expensive dealership level tools like ISTA, VCDS and Xentry, when one tablet can do it all in one easy, and fairly inexpensive package? This is the LAUNCH X431 Elite BBA. That last part is the important one - BBA stands for Benz, BMW, and Audi. This specific model actually does the full VAG group, so VW, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Skoda and Seat, along with Mercedes, Smart, Maybach and Sprinter vans, plus BMW, Rolls Royce and Mini - all from this one little tablet. It’s not just a basic OBD code reader either - this does full module scans with dealership level codes, the same as something like VCDS does for VAG cars, or ISTA does for BMWs. You’ve also got access to a decent list of service functions, things like setting the electric handbrake into pad change mode for example, plus a bunch of coding options, like enabling hidden features, or just outright coding new functions into various modules. Pretty impressive for one bit of hardware, right?

Dacia Duster 2023 Review - TCe 150 + DSG
zhlédnutí 15KPřed rokem
If you insist on buying an SUV, the 2023 model Dacia Duster might be your best bet. It's not luxury by any stretch of the imagination, but at ~£24,000 brand new in stock right now, it's one of the cheapest cars you can buy full stop. Paired with the higher horsepower TCe 150 engine and a 6 speed DSG transmission, it's a much more well rounded build than the TCe 90 I reviewed last year. Car phon...
THE DEALERSHIP WANTED HOW MUCH FOR THIS???

This is the video the Peugeot dealership sent to the owner of this 308, and this is the invoice to replace just the front brake pads and discs. £432 for two discs and four pads. That is absolutely insane! You can buy the same quality parts for well under half of that, and even if you didn’t have any tools at all, still do it yourself for less money that they want to charge.

A Christmas Present to Myself - Audi S4 Brake Upgrade!
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed rokem
The brakes on my 2013 S4 are… fine. They’re fine. I mean, they have a pretty strong vibration at anything over 100 MPH as I found out on the track day, but for road use they’re… fine. What I think Audi should have put on instead are these, the 4 piston Brembo calipers from the bigger brother Audi Q5. You can actually get these on just the 2L TDI, and yet they are considerably better than the si...

What a negative Dhead is this guy!
I just got a 2010 5 series wagon that the previous owner lowered the rear. The guy I bought it from said they put on “short springs”. Having plenty of cars get fixed over the years, though Not by me…is that all I’d need to replace to bring it up to normal height? Or will there be other parts too. Just trying to get as much knowledge as possible before hand. Thx!
Im sorry but whwn you say the Instructor lost his cool while you seemed it appropriate to "adjust the steering wheel mid corner" thinking its was absolutely ok. ITS NOT. Instructors are ultimately there for the safety of everybody out there, plus the equipment. They will be dealing with alll types of drivers, including nervous people. Hotshots who think they can drive fast but in reality have no idea of stitching all the requirements of advanced driving together. They do not know from one person to the next who is going to present what to them so limitations have to be made for the sake of everyone. Please all understand that principle. As with anything like this , there is upselling. Just say no.
What about bleeding with scan tool?
Excellent video mate. I've got the same part to replace on my MCS R56. That tool is invaluable and I need to get one. Many thanks
great listening to you . thanks
You paid for your car but you don't own it. You don't get to make the decisions on it, the previous owner decides what's best for your car. It's going to be hard to stuff this genie back in the bottle
Utter BS nonsense wasted six minutes , report , do not recommend this channel
Great video and I wish I'd seen it before I went on one myself. However, you missed one vital point. They also keep the car in standard road mode and don't allow you to use sport or any performance setting. In my case, I drove a 770BHP Aventador. A gorgeous car with an amazing sound track, but it didn't feel like 700HP+, more like 200. My 4.2litre Jag XF was sportier in standard mode with a mere 420BHP and way more exciting than the Lamborgini was in Sport or Dynamic mode. I know why they do this, it's a good way of making sure you don't spin accidentally. I've since come across a chap who just happens to be an instructor for the same one's I went with (Everyman Racing) and he said individual instructors may allow you to switch to sport mode if they feel you can handle it. However, he told me that certainly wouldn't be allowed with any cars 600HP+.
350-400 hp is no problem as long as you upgrade the cooling system (bigger intercooler) & limit the torque in lower gears. You can install the alpina transmission software. The D5 biturbo has the same block
My brake pedal get hard on the morning sometimes ... like 1 time monthly . My fuild is 3 or 4 years old .. should i use this method ? I need 100% ista after this or ? Thank you
the halfords not good for the rear or the car.
It takes a few days, and should be disabled if on an open road, but one pedal driving is excellent for city driving. Only need to master it and understand how others around you may respond. In my Volvo XC40, Regen will adjust depending on speed so there is no worry of an aggressive braking of above a certain speed. It also used the actual brakes along with the motor to blend the Regen.
Why did you not show how the security access codes system works. Ugghhhhnnn

How to buy that tool
The vast majority of people imagine that they are great drivers of race cars. But they just drive too fast for conditions almost all the time and rely far too much on their brakes to save the day instead driving moderately to avoid accidents. EV regen is not dangerous. Especially if guns are not dangerous. It’s drivers and shooters who pose dangers. Regen is just a tool. And a lot of people go on “auto” while driving. They have no memory of what transpired just before they wreck their car. It’s really ICE cars that are dangerous on so many levels. Regen braking takes a bit to get used to. But it’s not dangerous. The people who have wrecks are just used to instant gratification in driving when the speed up and slow down. And it’s dangerous. Because they all drive so fast. They are not good at driving but they think they are.
Here's something essential for anyone doing this... depending on how you have the car supported on Jack stands, or whatever, place 200lbs of weight into the trunk before dropping the rear subframe to prevent the car from tipping over the supporting platform (if it applies to how you have the car supported)

Coding new modules after replacing old modules? Any Ideas where or how this can be performed?
My Audi q5 with 3.0T won’t stop hard starting even after I changed the fuel pump, crank shaft position sensors and fuel rail sensor. What else can I do?
1. Brake fluid flush time is a good time to check brake pad thickness. The radial groove on the pad should be visible, if not it's time for new pads. 2. What almost all fluid change videos miss is that the caliper is full of fluid and simply pumping fluid through it, or sucking it through, may not fully replace fluid in the caliper. Do accomplish that, push the brake pads and caliper pistons to the full retract position and place something between the pads to keep them far apart. The proceed as usual; remove the spacer when done. 3. Do not forget to top up the master cylinder fluid reservoir after bleeding each wheel.
you talk to much
My car will completely stop in regular town traffic on regen braking. The braking can be felt, but not really through the pedal in my car.
Very powerful tool

Hi, I have a 2023 Seat Arona FR. Do you know how easy it is to identify an airbag issue with this software and device? Or, in the worst case, is it possible to disable the affected airbag and get rid of the airbag light? I assume that this should be done in the coding option, under Advanced Settings, right? Thanks in advance!
That's why I have a 2013 Audi S4 super charger 6mt. No dumb dsg service here
If you find it good, you need to drive a m140xi then
Excellent video. I’ve been a Tesla driver for 8 years and I just got a new i5 M60 BMW. One pedal driving is easy to master and I rarely touch the brake in the BMW. I do wonder if I’m putting excess wear on the electric engine or the brake system. Knowledgeable comments are appreciated. On the BMW, you have an option of high, medium, low, or adaptive. High puts a lot of regen braking but won’t stop the car. I use adaptive which works beautifully and brings the car to a full stop.
THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT VIDEO
