VW Polo - NO Power! Diagnosis and Repair
This VW Polo was hardly able to make it up the driveway and had to be recovered to the workshop. The only fault code I was able to find was P1553, time for a new MAP sensor, or is it something else?

I’ve had great success with Octopus’ Electroverse RFID charger card. So I thought I’d see if I could catch it out and find a charger it didn’t work seamlessly on. Use this link to get your electroverse card, we'll both get £5. electroverse.octopus.energy/sign-up/magic?referralCode=rust-frog-928
How to Diagnose Brake Lights Not Working on a VW T25 Transporter.
zhlédnutí 459Před 4 měsíci
In this video we diagnose a 1989 VW Transporter T3 (T25) with faulty brake lights. The customer had been to another garage who were unable to diagnose the issue due to missing wiring diagrams. I show how using a multimeter is liable to give false readings due to the extremely low load it draws on a circuit.

How to Park a FIAT 500e WITHOUT The Parking Brake Applied.
zhlédnutí 624Před 6 měsíci
The FIAT 500e has an Electric Parking Brake (EPB), this is very handy. However you may want to leave your car parked up for some time and are worried about the parking brake becoming rusted on. Or perhaps you need to perform some maintenance. Despite what people may say, it's possible to deactivate the parking brake in these circumstances
Cold Weather Electric Car Charging Test at Sainsbury’s Smartcharge, UK’s Newest EV Charge Network.
zhlédnutí 3,1KPřed 6 měsíci
In this video I test the UK's newest charging network, Sainsbury's Smartcharge. Coming to 100 stores this year, the network allows 150kW charging on 400V cars and 300kW on 800V cars. There is no membership, apps or special cards needed. It can be seen that even on a cold day. A quick weekly shop will be enough time to recharge the battery.

4 monsters waiting to be unleashed - glorious and the best sounding diesel locomotive ever built.
Absolutely!
I found one in a German thrift store today and it came in a plastic case. Interesting device, I wish I had found this earlier.
It’s decidedly strange.
The motor sounds nice. It is nice and loud and the acceleration is very fast. Although I don't like the artificial sound at slow speed. I find it silly how the law requires EVs to have a speaker that makes a Sci-fi sound.
Tesla is a singular noun, not plural. It takes a singular verb. "Tesla is pursuing..." Is English a forgotten language?
I really am so very truly sorry.
These window switches are on Amazon, plenty of sellers. About £10. And if its not the switch that's faulty you can always return it and just say you bought the wrong one.
They are now, but there weren’t 8 years ago.
@theweekthatis yes m8 appreciate that. I just mentioned it in case anyone wanted to attempt this and wanted a cheap option to try (like me tomorrow. :) )
@@andynightingale7335 still not as cheap as a bit of contact cleaner though 😜
@theweekthatis thanks for the video showing removal. Swapping out the switch today has worked and my dad can use the driver door window again. Cheers.
thasnk you i was going crazy,,
My pleasure
When you fill up with fuel it takes 100/120 quid from your card, but any deficit isn't put back on your card for a few days....!
Not any more. But if you’re confused, try watching the video.
Very interesting
Thank you
I broke the clip to the fuel pump. Due to the location I can't get under it with a pick. Cannot seem to get it undone :( any ideas?
Destroy it and fit a new connector maybe?
You have just save me, many thanks
That’s great, thank you.
GridServe have App as from the 5th of July 2024 through to the end of October 24, with a reduction of 20%.
Why do you have to preset it, mime came preset and put trans in and pedal didnt go all the way to floor, i put my old plate in and it worked
RESET it. Not preset. RESET. If you had to re-use the old one.
Excellent video for those of us who do everything themselves. Have a good one mate!
Hello there, at approx 5.29 when you are adjusting the belt tensioner, you point underneath / behind the forward tensioner and say something like "The tang is in here" ....could you explain what you mean please?, thank you
Yes, there’s a little tang that protrudes from the baseplate that sits in a recess in the head.
@@theweekthatison closer watching of the video it is some sort of adjustment counter spring for that first belt adjuster, cheers
ok, more than 2 mins in and it's just waffle, still hasnt got to the point.....and what does fandago mean......
Thanks for watching
thank you for this video it was really helpful
Thanks for letting me know too. 😃
I’ve got a physical O2 SIM and an EE eSIM which I use as a data back up when I have no O2 signal. EE eSIM is a nightmare and never works as a transfer. When I upgraded, EE had to send me a physical SIM in the post and then I had to request to have it changed to an eSIM. It’s so backwards compared to the regular SIM which is why I’ve never changed my O2 SIM to one.
Used your link for the card, I didn't get the £5 credit I don't know if you did. It's asking for a code?
Oh no, perhaps I need to update the code!
Hey, use my link to sign up to Octopus Electroverse & we both get charging credit! electroverse.octopus.energy/sign-up/magic?referralCode=rust-frog-928
AFAIK you need to complete a charge before we get the money
Great video!
Thank you!
@@theweekthatis I've done this before, once, but I followed ETKA instructions which tells you to *first* set the pump lift, *then* set toothed belt on rollers etc.. I think it makes more sense to do it like you do...fit the rollers, fit the belt, set the lift, and finally tighten the sprocket. I don't have the that fancy counter hold and it is a pain and stressful without it. I don't dare tighten the thing to 160 nm with the pump locked. I do 60 nm or so, release the pump lock, and then go the full 160 nm. Unfortunately this made the timing out of whack. After turning the crank 2 turns the lift is too low at TDC mark. I fix this by adjusting the rollers and make sure I have 0.55 mm lift after rotating the engine. Then I'm ready for dynamic timing.
Pretty damp good video. I have an LT35 and have been having issues with getting my pump timing correct. The ‘cloud’ feature on VCDS is something I’m looking forwards to utilising. Unfortunately LT35’s aren’t so easy to ‘set up’ as being rear wheel drive access for the flywheel and timing marks is a real pain when working on the floor. An inspection camera helps but a real PIA to set that up alone. I am now ‘armed’ with more information regards these things)I have ‘timed’ this pump at least 20 times.. long multiplication is a thing! Anyhoo thansk again..
The thing is, the whole point is the ECU does the pump timing. What we’re aiming to do here is get the base timing correct so the ECU has the most range to advance and retard it. As the belt ages it does drift anyway, it won’t matter to the actual running one bit.
Thank you for the two videos. I’ve decided to get the plastic sim on this occasion.
Hello. I bought this key 3 days ago, but it never worked, which means it only works if you place it in the central compartment of the car, but the proximity sensor doesn't work to open the doors. The assistance told me that you have to leave the key 3 days inside the central compartment to recharge it. Is it normal? Did the same thing happen to you?
It is not possible to recharge the battery. If it doesn’t work then the battery is flat and it must be renewed.
What is cheapest vcds cable that will work
You don’t actually even need VCDS, just something that can put the ECU into basic settings and read the measuring blocks.
@@theweekthatisis it possible to do the cambelt without doing the injection pump belt because the injection pump belt pulley needs to be removed in order to lock the cams in place or is there another way to lock the cams
The cam is locked unless you undo the Cambelt cam pulley bolt and strike the pulley off the taper with a punch through the hole. So it’s perfectly possible to do the cambelt without touching the pumpbelt by marking the cam pulley with paint. However, this is the wrong way to do it, it is not suggested by the factory manual, you’ll have incorrect tension, bad cam timing and bad pump timing. May as well do it correctly.
@@theweekthatis so the cam shaft must be locked with that plate at the injection pump side and the cam pulley must be loosen on the crank pulley side to run freely on camshaft when tensioning the cambelt
@@user-bd6xo9ld2d exactly.
Hello, is it possible that OAP fails so it is moving freely i both directions?
I’ve not seen that, but I’m sure it’s possible
А в чем прикол этой фишки
Contact Trading Standards. Also, if you used the charger and were charged 75p, go into the store and demand a refund of the difference. If they refuse, then contact Trading Standards and the Police. But do make sure you have a photo of the advertised price first as what they are doing is illegal.
John, you are literally commenting on a video of the price.
lies they begin here!.
Well don't be stupid and get an electric car
But I already have two electric cars.
Thanks mate.... First time im dealing with changing a clutch with this type of pressure plate.... I installed it without knowing it should be reset once u replace the clutch plate.... Turned out i couldnt shift gears because i didnt do the reset 😢 ...... So i had to do the job all over lol..... Glad i found this video on how to reset..... Very simple and easy thanks 😊
How annoying, yes, I had that once!
Yeah this saved me lol. Was able to take apart a donor connector and fix my broken one. Saved me $15 or so
Good, that’s the sort of thing we need in this world!
Have you tried this on a brembo aluminium Caliper , seizing seems to be a common problem on the 4 pots bmw use and I’m worried this will happen to mine eventually
Brembo brakes can be serviced and repaired by handing them directly to a scrap-metal merchant and replacing them with something decent.
thank you!
My pleasure
@@theweekthatis i have battles this and somehow over come it with a variety and unrepeatable methods. your hook under the purple clip is magic.
I need one to use two SIM's.
I now run two e-SIMs, works well.
Thanks 🙂

I've ordered my card. Just waiting for it. I'm fed up of £45 authoritied payments especially on a busy Bank holiday when it takes longer in pending. I was using bonnet but im now have had enough with apps. So hopefully this card will help. I wish my car had that button to stop charging
With the card you can generally tap to stop charging. Hopefully it works as well for you as it does for me!
What kind of bolt opener you used to open the switch thing? I am new and cant find any size to fit
Thanks for the very good video and description , it helped to confirm and refresh my memory on this.
I’m glad it helped you!
The connector latch on these are horrible. It's like they want the DIY guy to break every one of them. Thanks for the video.
I’ve never understood why they made it so obtuse.
Why do they insist you go in to a shop? I ordered my iPad to be delivered to my address. If I could easily go to a shop I’d have had it to collect
Move to ee much easier.
My iPad only takes eSIM unfortunately
Never going to o2 on a phone contract
How can you not have 5g virtual sims?
E sim is easier in practice and as an individual practice it’s just o2 being finicky. Esim stops thieves stealing your phone and removing the card stopping tracking etc
And people wonder why I’m with ee
Don’t get me started on o2 text spams every time you log in.
Easy with ee. I don’t know why o2 make it difficult.
