Lads are going back to the earlier models in droves, Peter - we're getting in 01 -04 models that nobody would have considered repairing in previous years, ones in absolute tatters as loads have had their fill of fixing the newer ones constantly & now prefer running the older, simple versions, even if it means doing big bodywork. One came in today you'd laugh at - thin air everywhere, but running like a top - owner runs a fleet, wants it fixed. New ones are breaking his heart apparently.. Common story for me to hear these days.
Wouldn’t it make you think 🤔 what has happened to the manufacturing process in the last 20 years 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ Running like a dream after 20 years & lads struggling to keep 4 or 5 year old one going, it’s all gone stupid James
I just gave up a 2010 Mazda 3 for a 2016 Mazda 3. Kinda wish I'd stuck with the 10. Better handling and an engine that didn't skip a beat in 10 years and 160 k miles.
@@bastogne315 that’s the modern motor car for you. I say that the are a bit like LEGO, lovely to look at but just don’t last when being used 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Very true. Mazda 6 are really nice drive. But would never risk buying one, too many potential problems. To be honest I wouldn't know what to buy these days, so carry on with my 98 civic for now.@@kennedysgarage3281
Just did a fuel pressure regulator on the fuel pump on one of these, it got me, tools getting thrown everywhere, walls getting hit, I wish I got a bird that tight lol
All the bits I removed neede to be removed to get at the pump 😬😬😬 That is some pain in the bottom, bloody car designers 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ Well done on it though John 👏👏
@@kennedysgarage3281 Just getting to the part is always the most difficult part and then running the scan tool to check off all the codes. I will be down on Monday week the second of October but anytime will suit me really
Rather you than me Peter. I’m a VAG guy through and through but I don’t mind Mercs; not that 2.1 though. There’s been quite a lot of Mercs in my family over the years. My Father in-law had a 2012 E-Class with that 2.1 engine and I eventually advised him to get rid of it. Who did he sell it to?; my brother in-law 🙄. Take it from me kids, if you want a Mercedes diesel, get a V6 😉
Hello, I have a 906 CDI with fault P2261 (charge air by-pass damper has a mechanical operating irregularity) could you tell me if it refers to the intake manifold dampers?
@@eduardocarlis8607 I cannot be sure without physically seeing the vehicle but I would think not. It sounds like you have a control solenoid of some sort failing. But it will need someone with the skill set to diagnose it correctly, unfortunately 😔
Just wandering if replacing the intake manifold solved the problem? Or did client came back? Some say it could be the vacuums. I have the same error code. Thanks for the video
The owner contacted me a few weeks later & said a check engine light came on again. But it never came back to me to check. So hopefully it was just something small that created a different fault 🤞🤞🤞
Very interesting Peter…plastic…plastic everywhere…even the sound of the bolts on the plastic suggest cheap plastic…I always thought that Mercs were built like tanks…looks like they are..if you are talking about an Airfix model…..
@@kennedysgarage3281 😂😂😂😂 I thought the same Peter when I saw the Merc Manifold and thought of the weight of the Mazda… Mazda 1, Merc 0 😂😂…and let’s leave it at that 🫣
I have changed manifold as I thought it was due to leak there but after another diagnostic I did get error code P063878 which refers to throttle malfunction , do you think throttle reset may solve the issue whether I need to change the body?
Peter new spark plugs didnt fix Mazda. Still hiccupping at 1200 rpm. Might book it in with you next time im in Waterford.😢😢❤❤ Main dealer ran diagnostic and 2 independents ran diagnostics...no codes..and no fix so far. Weird
We are all getting so familiar with diesels that we are forgetting to train up on newer petrol engines. Give me a WhatsApp text & get some info from you to see what I can find out. Kennedysgarage.ie 😉
Hello , good afternoon, i just saw your video , i have same problem, how much do you charge to do this operation ? I have bought all parts , i just want the labour, thanks , i wait 😊😊
Great working class explanation 👍👍👍

They are gone fair plasticy nowadays & bits just bet in together. It can harder than a jig saw putting them back together 😬😂😂😂
I work on one of these 2.1, 880k miles on stock engine

You need to go to engine control module then special setting and then intake port shutoff teach in learning....Not throttle valve teach in.
Oh very interesting, I must take a look at that the next time it comes in 😉👍👍👍

Will do Peter. Thanks a million.
Hello thanks for the video massively helpful what year is the Sprinter ?
My one was a 2013 model. It is a fiddly job but just take you time & it will all go to plan 😉🤞🤞🤞
Hello , good afternoon, i just saw your video , i have same problem, how much do you charge to do this operation ? I have bought all parts , i just want the labour, thanks , i wait 😊😊
Hi, I cannot remember exactly but I think there was around 8 hours in doing it which would be around €500 including vat.
hello thanks for the video,is this makeing shaking as well?because mine is leaking and not powerfull plus shaking,thank you
Smoke testing the intake system is the best way to diagnose if the intake manifold needs to be replaced.
How long did the job take?
From memory I think around 4 hours 🤔🤔
Hi. Wondered what scanner you are using , ? I have 3 Mercedes and need to get a good one . Thanks
Hi Andrew, I’m am currently using an Autel MS 909. I really do like it, fast and quiet user friendly compared to some of my other scantools 😉👍👍
thanks, the price puts me off a little but i suppose you get what you pay for ? best place to buy it online in your opinion?
@@kennedysgarage3281
If you're doing this job on a lhd car, do you have to remove the brake booster.
Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to that 😔😔
How many hours it take ? 4?
@@E39M5SPEED it will take around 4 hours in total 😉👍👍
How many times is you walk away to calm
Down 🤪🤪🤪
I’m about to do one but me brain can’t handle all the fuvkin shit ! How did we get here from a simple engine??!!!!!😮😮😮😮
Thanks for the Vid, i need to replace the High pressure pump do I need to take the intake manifold off?
Hi Timmo, unfortunately I don’t work on these too often and would be only guessing I answer that. Sorry mate 😞😞
@@kennedysgarage3281 Yes the EGR valve needs taking off and intake manifold
Absolute crap design
