What have I got myself into this time? I have these mad ideas from time to time and I've been thinking about this ever since the facelift MG3 was released back in 2018. Would it be possible to fit the facelift dashboard to the prefacelift car? Well, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. I apologise in advance for the video being nearly an hour long but this was a lot of work and I th...

Ssangyong Musso - How To Bleed A Diesel Fuel System When It Is Totally Dry.
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 6 měsíci
How to bleed the fuel system when it is totally dry. This applies to all Ssangyong 2.0 & 2.2 4 cylinder diesel engines as fitted to Musso, Korando sports, Rexton, korando, Turismo & Rodius. The battery MUST be in good condition and fully charged, it will never start if the engine doesn't crank fast enough. If after doing this the engine cuts out at idle, take it for a drive to clear the remaini...

Hi there!!! I enjoy how you are adding your special touch to your MG. I also have a left-handed MG3 but from 2012. Bought it 2nd hand. I am from the small island 🏝️ of Aruba Dutch Caribbean. So. Pls continue with all your great ideas. Have a great week.
Thank you
Excellent
Thanks for the video, I saw another guy show how you can get a 12v battery with two wires that you touch to those two terminals where you took the plug out. And it seemed to work fine, just make sure the polarity is the way that winds the piston the right way. Would you suggest this way too as it saves taking the motor off? PS like the accent, it reminds of home, as I'm currently up north! lol!
@@TrueDigitalWealth no I don't suggest using a battery because the motor can easily be damaged when the caliper hits the stop.
How much clearance does this unit have? I mean between the back of the unit and the dash itself. Because where the upper part of the screen is, in my car (vw up), there is a knob for the incoming air. Can the unit be placed more outwardly?
Not much. It could be moved forward with a spacer. I don't know what your dash looks like so best check the measurements on Atotos website
@@pistonbroke thanks!
Hi I found your vids useful thanks, I’ve got a 2022 mg3 the tyre light is on all the time tried the stalk reset , and no good I was thinking it might be the face lift , however no tpm come up on main display Like the vid ? Can you suggest? Ps Australia model? Edwin
@@edwinpower-xh4kr If you have dashes where the pressures should be on the screen then you'll need to take it to your MG dealer. It's lost the TPMS sensor id and needs to be reinitialised.
Thanks can’t one just take out the relevant fuse?
@@edwinpower-xh4kr No, cars are not as simple as that anymore. If you pull the fuse, a load of other stuff wont work and the tpms light will still be on.
This is brilliant. Have you ever had a problem afterwards with the EPB causing any faults? I have to do a 2023 Maserati soon and can’t communicate with it using a scan tool. Thanks!
No, never had any problems. I always do it this way.
Does the codes go away after you change the pads ?
@@MastaKilla305 there wont be any codes as long as you make sure everything is plugged back in before turning the ign on
Why do they make it so stupid to do a service reset I would never of known that in all my life
That's the idea. It's you you have to take it to a garage and also it can't be accidently reset.
This guy is a cowboy
Why are you here? You obviously have no idea otherwise you wouldn't be here. Just another🔔🔚 with nothing else to do eh?
Great video, I always like to see things being done right. I was here to see a rear wheel sensor bracket as mine seems to have disappeared with corrosion , I wondered if its its part of the rear hub. I`ve got all the lights on too as the sensor is out ( no way to secure it). What do I do ?
It's a common thing for the clip to rust off. You need to replace the complete hub as it all comes as one.
I like the tool you used to compress the piston, I have a similar one but it's not air compressed like yours. May I ask where you purchased yours from?
Awesome and helpful video, thanks for covering the whole job from start to finish.
Hello friend I got same problem with my ssangyoung actyon no start engine
I tend to put some ceramic grease on the sliders and on the shims , piston face as well , just a little good video/ little trick to wind the epb back 👍🏼
Hello, I'm confused of your "flat battery" comment. If battery was bad why it could engage parking brake fine but couldn't release it? I'm getting the exact same issue you got at the end... The parking brake can engage fine every time (even after pulling the manual release cable), but when I press the Parking brake button down to release it doesn't do anything (no grinding noise), if I hold the button down for several seconds then a warning "Parking Brake Fault" comes on. The fault goes away if I turn the car off and back on. There is no persistent code. My battery is fine.
Because when I put the brake on, the ignition was off. When I tried to release the brake, the ignition was on. The battery being under voltage combined with the ignition being on caused a huge volt drop. The fault code in the epb module says it all.
Hi there...thanks for this video...I have exactly this problem and have replaced the fuse but it is sopping wet under the carpet. Am I right in thinking the DC DC converter is under the front passenger footwell? What does the unit do other than the start/stop function? I would like to know what I would lose if I bypass it as suggested until I can get a new unit.
It's under the passengers seat. Stop/start will still work if it is bypassed. What it does is during a stop/start restart it prevents the instrument cluster from doing a self test like it does when you first start it and it stops the radio and heater from going off and back on. All this would only happen if the battery voltage drops low enough during a restart.
@@pistonbroke Do I assume you mean under the FRONT passenger seat? In other comments you state that it can be left bypassed long term...does this mean I just lose the start stop function but everything else works as usual? Sorry but would need to clarify....thanks again and best regards Nigel
If you actually watched the video you'll see exactly where it is and if you read my last reply you'll see that I said the stop/start will still work when it's bypassed and I even went to the trouble of explaining what it does.
Brilliant video, thanks. So Android Auto indeed functions wirelessly, maps, music etc? I imagine music mutes when a call comes in as well? Have you had to deal with Atoto for any reason? Good support?
@@cpkdude it's all wireles but you can have it wired if you want so it charges your phone as well. yes music will mute when phone rings. Never had to call support so I can't comment on that. Their products are brilliant. I've since upgraded this to an Atoto S8 and it's absolutely awesome.
@pistonbroke - I'm putting one in an old, FIAT X19, and wondered about the dimmer/headlight wiring. What do you think, just manually run pin 1 to the headlight on/off switch? That would be cool
Run the illumination wire to the side light circuit. Wire it to one of the switches that lights up when the side lights are on.
@@pistonbroke- got it working, thanks. Everything about it is pretty cool for the $$, except for two things, which maybe you have an answer for. 1) phone mic quality. It kinda sucks. I can hear people well, but they say I sound kinda lousy, cuts in and out, muffled. Nowhere near as good as my outgoing Kenwood. 2) General sound quality. DAC’s sound middling, not super-clean, a little ‘crunchy’. Are you hearing the same thing? Bluetooth sounds worse than USB, but even that is disappointing. Thoughts? Thanks
@@cpkdude i've not had problems with the audio quality. My phone mic sounded crap so I moved the mic to different locations and it made it better.
Very useful to know! I wondered what happens when the 15k miles are up and I have recently found out, nothing! No lights or warning it just shows 0 miles.
👍 did you change your steering wheel to the new one mate couldn't tell in that video
This isn't my car. No I haven't done it yet, I haven't had time.
@pistonbroke no worries look forward to seeing how it looks when you do mate 👍
OMG - so simple , been doing it with my bio directional scan tool . thanks , i’ve looked for how to do this without a scan tool and no one else out there shows what you just did in seconds , thank you.
I'm using MG3 I need help with my car
Picked up 1 2 3 😂
That's all I could understand. 😅
any videos on bleeding the discovery 3 clutch pedal , what way would you reccomend to do it
Wo ist der Unterschied wenn ich vorne am bremskolben direkt mit dem Drehdrück rücksteller drehe, ?
Wy i cant bring the caliper back with unplucked wire und when in back Position i bring the Connector on ,?
Does the Vogue has a frame chassis as well?
@@Kim_Anderzzon if you mean the full sized range rover then no it doesn't
@@pistonbroke Thank you so much for your reply. It's only the "Sport" version that got a frame chassis I guess then.
@@Kim_Anderzzon yes, the sport and disco 3 & 4 had the same chassis upto about 2015, newer shape sport changed to a monocoque the same as the range rover.
@@pistonbroke Thank you so much! You saved me a lot of time!
I have only just seen your video, so I presume someone has told you since, that a 50/50 mixture of Transmission Fluid and Acetone is reported to be the best to unstick stubborn parts. Also Alloy and steel being dissimilar metals, vinegar or tomato sauce if not able to soak in vinegar. These are old school remedies before commercial products. Which don’t often work as good.
LOL, you ddint even attached it, you didnt even want to commit to put it in your car properly, what a ''review'', and i know its sponsored, but you did a piss bad job not even installing it, let alone cable menagment or even reverse cam function, u did nothing
@@skyliner4610 if you watch some of my other videos on this you'll see that I did commit to fitting it, including modifying the centre cubby box so it fits nicely, fitting the reverse camera and hiding all the wires. Go look and then take back all the shit you've just spouted out.
You should never leave your calliper hanging by the brake line and the calliper bracket should be torqued to specs and lock tight used on the bolts as well to retract the piston with a C clamp and a piece of metal on the back of the motor to prevent it from cracking the casing.
Yawn
What code reader have you used to for this as mine isn’t reading any ecu’s
top mistre miquanica👍👍👍
Great Video guys. I have just bought a 2024 MG3, so now I have an idea what the top end looks like. Thank you. Brisbane Australia
how many km till this needs doing
Bridged the connector got dash lights etc but still no crank. No power to starter signal wire. Any ideas? Thanks
Great video thank you for this. Can you send me please repair manual for this engine?❤
in all fairness huge well done on doing it. but because you re-used the old brake shoes that epb module was winding in ALOT.
It's not because I reused the shoes. It's because I set the cables in the service mode position.
Might sound dumb,But had friend Mobility car repaired after accident and the replacement front bumper Had No parking sensors...How the Work was cleared is beyond me.🙈🙉🙊
Good job on the clutch. Easier with the lift.❤😂
I knew a guy who was a builder used to drive his van with his left leg resting on the clutch pedal. He burnt out about four or five clutches in no time. But he knew what he was doing wrong.❤😂
Bloody hell that's handy when you're stuck in the middle of a field, or worse still a busy road🙈
You wouldn't need to do this unless you run it completely out of fuel.
Did your motor have 6 or 12 teeth? Because im very unsure on which bit i have to use to rewind the mechanisms in the calliper. Some people use torx and others use hex.
I didn't count them. I just used what fitted.
Great color same as my current 1992 looks a lot better than mine
They were fronts
I had to do this job on our mark 8 5 years ago after the bolts sheared off on the hub that hold the hafshaft so the halfshaft walked out of the diff. No need to take the bearing apart. and yes the bolts are stretch bolts The correct torque is 68 NM then 90 degrees. They sheared off because someone in the past tightened them to the wrong torque. Have the do the same job soon after 40,000 miles.
it says "смерть рашистам" - death to (and then there's this kind of combination of two words russian and facist) рашистам, and then some german counting, and then "русиш пидорасиш" - russian fags??? it is obviously russian but has a funny german ending to words. The whole thing is funny as hell I'd be laughing my ass off if I've heard that IRL

Very interesting and great to see content about this car. I have a 2019 mg3 which revs high and for a long period when starting from cold. The revs will not sit steady until the car is driven for 10 mins. Have you ever come across this?
Not something I've seen before so I wouldn't know without looking at the car
i did it all correctly, but I don't know why the mirroring keep disconnecting after minutes. so I must start from the beginning again. do u have any suggestion?
Best review I have seen. Thank You
