Hi
As per the video...
Not much more to add...
Ideally, you install the correct parts, but when £€$ is a factor, you improvise...
Yes, yes... I know... leave your criticism in the comments section...😋
Anyway...
Link to the first video, fault finding etc...

Hope you enjoy the video.
Any questions or comments put them below.
Like always, thank you for watching!
The only criticism i can make is that you are a guy that tries where others stop. I want to see more videos like that. Thank you very much for sharing all this precious knowledge
☺️
Criticism like that is more than welcome!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Every car owner needs a car guy like yourself. Most of the mechanics/electricians simply replace parts that are shown as faulty on the ecu.
You always try to go deeper, try to understand why it got faulty, why it does/did that and etc, and you always fix it even if you need to DIY it a bit which I extra enjoy watching.
That makes you special, and that makes you separate from the others.
Keep up the good work, and wish you a Happy New Year!
☺️
Thanks!
Happy New Year!
👍👍👍
Luis your definitely one of my favour youtubers. You need knowledge and a lot of it to fix that car and you just done than congratulations ive learned so much of you Thank you.
☺️
Thanks!
👍👍👍
At least you are man enough to put your hands up. How do you learn if you don't make mistakes. The person that makes no mistakes learns nothing. Great work as always
☺️
Very true...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Nothing but respect m8...your videos are greatly appreciated.
☺️
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great content 😂.
An alternative thing to try is flipping the magnet itself 180 degrees since the Hall effect sensor is detecting the field produced ... I.e N to S although understandably we don’t know if this brings the voltages to the correct thresholds maybe try it with your spare unit
That was definitely another approach... which never crossed my mind at the time...
Could well work as well...👍👍👍
I think is a great hack indeed. Very nice to see somebody reaching this deep of understanding sensors and how they operate instead of just buying everything new.
☺️
👍👍👍
Thank you for such excellent videos, please keep them coming
🤪
Will do my best!..
👍👍👍
Interesting… well i think there was not much things to do… it was someone else mistake when they decided to install a “compatible” turbo but not same sensor behavior… it was a great fix you did, you saved some good $1,250 pounds to your customer for the new compatible turbo. 😅
☺️
👍👍
Hi Luis , indeed you could have done differently but who cares ? Customer have a car that can have mot test and drive on the road as it is intend , what is the point in saving money with reprog if later you have trouble for another reason ? Customers always complain even 6 month later so... you did the right thing , that's it
☺️
Good point of view...
👍👍👍
Morning Luis, A great video clip as always. Thanks for your candidness; however don’t be so harsh on yourself as you have learned to understand an issue through taking a risk which will enhance your knowledge.
Also this is a car you are not familiar with and overall repair cost relatively in expensive. 😊
Indeed...
Only the temp sensor was required...
Managed to fix the rest with no parts needed...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Pretty clean bodge instead of having to replace the sensor and actuator, but... before anyone does this, you do have to verify that the actuator is actually going the right way. If the ECU is commanding boost and reading the sensor move in the right direction, but the boost control goes the other way, then you're gonna cause a lot of different problems.
The previous video on this car would show that no problems were caused...
The actuator is vaccum actuated, only moves one way...
If you watch the first 2 videos on this, everything will make sense...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs I know, but the car also had the turbo replaced. Not every turbo has their boost amount at the same setting in the rest position -- some default to minimum boost, some default to max boost. So it's important to check if that works in the right direction (by monitoring boost pressure while applying vacuum to the actuator) first before swapping the sensor direction around.
In this particular case it did work but it may not work in the same way of other people work on different cars.
morning luis you do when needs must making the best of a bad job just attach a label to sensor for next guy as that is a big rabbit hole for someone
The same rabbit hole I came out from...😋
I know what you mean...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Yip, Them hall sensors work on N-S magnetic fields front to back, possibly would have worked if the magnets were turned around as well..
☺️
👍👍👍
Improvise, adapt and overcome. Good video!!
☺️
Thanks!
Really appreciated!
👍👍👍
One word... Genius !
☺️
Thank you for the video Luis. Really great work. One question, why did you need to swap the wires in the plug? As far as i saw the sensor worked before modification of pcb. Did something change in the sensor pin layout by swaping the pcb? Thank you for the answer and have a brilliant day.
By turning the pcb around, the pins on the edges became swapped...
👍👍👍
Thank you.Like. Hello from Ukraine.
👋
👍👍👍
Thank you for another great video!!!
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
BRO you're a Genius👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great work as usual BRO, Stay Safe😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
☺️
Thanks!
👍👍👍
I wonder could you fit the actuator from the correct turbo? or do the arms travel in different directions? Seems a long way to go to fit the wrong turbo to the car, but your repair was ingenious and fair play for working it out.
Not possible to install the other actuator... as explained in the first video...
(Link in the description below...)
👍👍👍
I actually change the core of these turbos in place, its much easier than taking the entire turbo out.
Hey man I see one big big professionalism. What mistake you are talking about? You are the best, but fact you try to find or find some mistake in your work, that's make you good man and bigger and bigger professionalist. I wish you happy holidays .
☺️
Thanks...
Really appreciate your comment!
👍👍👍
Brilliant Idea. Thinking outside of the box is not an easy job. Ignore the keyboard warriors, they need to get out more.
☺️🤪
👍👍👍
Cowboy mechanic....but at least you know it.
Can u explain why you couldn't just switch the pins on olug and not open the inside ? That would be interesting to know
Because that wouldn't work...
👍👍👍
Well done 👏
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Is there a way to rotate the magnets, to make north and south around
Possibly... never thought about that...
👍👍👍
Great work bro
Need contact with you 😊
Would that be a proximity sensor?
Hall effect sensor type...
👍👍👍
We all make mistakes. Life's full of them.
Indeed it is...
👍👍👍
Nice hat 😁
Protects from the cold...🤪
👍👍👍
Olá luis ,devias dar formação de como ser realmente mecânico,o desenrasque português é aquela base.
Sem dúvida!
😋
👍👍👍
