I wanted to give everyone an update on the diagnosis video on the car for the secondary air injection system. The video has been shot and only needs to be edited. Originally, I was going to put all the diagnostics in one video, but it turned out to be so large, that I’ve decided to break it up into three parts. If all goes well, the first part will be uploaded later this evening. Thanks to everyone!
Ha Ha! You’re a funny guy Joe. We will have that video up on Youtube tomorrow. I had a lot of prep work to do today to get things ready. Plus, there was some things that I wasn’t going to include, but decided to put that in the video also. Thanks for the anticipation! Damn, because of you and others, I can’t hardly wait to see the video. Smiling…
I began smoking myself in anticipation of part 9 – THE SMOKING 🙂
Thank you Richie as I appreciate your comment! I’m glad that you’re getting a lot from the video series. Stay tuned for part 9, the actual diagnostics on the car.
Hi Richie! I’m glad that you’re liking the videos and it sounds like you’re learning from them. Smiling….there isn’t a part 9 or 10 yet. I hope to have the actual diagnostic video uploaded later today. There will be a lot of stuff in that video along with tips that you can apply to any system. I’ve been waiting on parts that I’ve ordered for the car. Again, thank you for the kind words Richie!
I love the way you mark everything and are so organized too , perfect sense of great workmanship.
You are the best where can I find part 9 and 10 amazing video I have 2000 jetta vr6 and I did so many jobs on it myself will try this one for sure … Great video tutorial … Amazing job sir !!!
Thank you very much Matt for the comment as I appreciate it! I’ll mention this again later in the next video, but I want people to understand their car systems, which means how they work, and from that, they can develop their own diagnostic methods to find their problem. I want that person to think! Of course, if one is looking for that silver bullet (that ONE part that needs changing), don’t care how their cars work, don’t want to check anything, then these videos are definitely not for you.
Eagerly awaiting Part 9… love the thorough and methodical approach. The teardown of the car to create a real-life traceable visual of the diagrams makes it very easy to follow. That is way more altruism than I’d ever volunteer to do so I applaud your thoroughness! No doubt anyone with an air pump system issue will be able to complete a diagnosis and repair regardless of if the fault is the same as what you find. That is what makes a truly complete tutorial video in my opinion.
I’ll be peeking over your shoulder. Feel free to sprinkle your presentation with small technical jokes, you have a good sense of humor.
cover all this and more, I’ll need an outline of steps to follow. It’s going to be a lot of info. And I’ll point out that if you have to pull the front of the car off, you’ll know beforehand there’s a problem there. So, I’m not sure how long the next video will be, but I do want to include all diagnostics in the next filming. So, we will roll on that one. Stay tuned for that one!
Sorry Joe for the confusion on my part. You’re right that if I worked on cars for a living, I wouldn’t have this option of doing all this. As I mentioned earlier, since I it’s my car, why not show the complete system. In the next video, I’m going to try and include all diagnostics on the vacuum lines (smoking), energize valves (check passages), energize air pump, open combi-valve and a slew of other stuff. I’m going to show both DIY methods and hi-tech using a bi-directional scanner. To…
You got me wrong, all I’ve said is in an admirative way, except the ironies towards VW craftsmanship. Probably something was bad in my English skills (not my native language). As I’ve said, you’re doing very informative videos, and you’re teaching a very thorough, methodical way to solve an issue. All that with the bonus of explaining how various systems work. The only drawback I’ve mentioned is that if you have other 5 cars waiting for repairs, you don’t have the luxury of enough time.
Thanks for the compliments. I could make these videos with a LOT less detail, but no one wouldn’t know anything about the system unless they were familiar with the system. Then, if I did that, I figure, what’s the point of the video. Sure is hard to know where there is too little or too much detail.
Mmmm, I guess there’s too much detail here for you Joe. The whole point of these series is to educate the viewers with the most information so that they can make their own diagnostic methods. I only show a method that I would do; others can follow a different method if they choose. Since I have the time with this car, I thought the more info the better. Sorry if this video didn’t satisfy your needs.
I like the methodical approach of this series. It is more interesting to watch a diagnose/repair video with instructional parts added in between. In fact you’re teaching a METHOD, The only drawback is that in real life most often you don’t have so much time for digging into the belly of the car, unless it’s yours. What have we learned so far?
1. VW will probably make cars made entirely of plastic and rubber
2. You’ll definitely find a cheap part labeled ‘Change Me’ in Chinese.
There’s something very appealing about tearing the whole system down enough to find every vacuum and electrical connection. Clear and complete understanding makes diagnosis of the problem much easier. That approach seems to be very different compared to the algoithms that the engineers give to techs to diagnose the problem, but in that case they are mostly following a protocol without necessarily understanding it all.
