One of my old videos - lost the brakes on the truck, luckily was parked. It was leaking fluid like crazy (right next to driver side rear) and brake pedal was super soft. Truck with this condition CAN NOT be driven, it will need to be towed. The brake line that busted is no longer in production, so you will need to buy the one above it and fit it? Didn't film the whole process, but gave some poi...
How To Tow a Large Cargo Van (Sprinter Etc.) With A Tow Bar
Переглядів 712Рік тому
One of my old videos, I bought a non working Sprinter Van (170 XL High Roof) and needed it towed 300 miles or so. The only option to tow these is flat bed tow truck and even then its too tall, to do it properly you need a semi truck with step deck or a car hauler trailer, so you don't clip the traffic lights (its too tall) But I didn't want to spend a bunch of money and time trying to get this ...

In this video I will show you a very common leak on Land Rovers (pretty much all models). The car will hesitate to start, you might have out of the blue hesitation while driving and very strong raw gas smell outside.

So what was the estimate they told you to fix it? It seems like alot of work and i for that icon message and i don't feel the AC anymore working.... but my air suspension is working normal tho.
No throwing of hands. Throw chest over rass line
Hi, Great video, thanks for sharing. I hope you don’t mind me asking for advice. I have a Tesla Model S 2017 Electric Motor 100D AWD. The suspension system is flat. There is an error showing up, as follows: Air suspension compressor disabled - your vehicle will not rise. There is a 40A fuse that controls the air compressor (it's in a slightly different position than the one in your video). This has blown and when I replace it with a new 40A fuse, it blows immediately. Am I right in concluding that the air compressor itself is faulty? If this is the case, and I purchase a second-hand one, how compatible are these compressors or will I have to purchase from a 2017 model? Thanks in advance, and I look forward to hearing back from you With kind regards, Seamus
Hi, did you find the solution? I have the same symptoms on Model X
@@Mitrofanovalex Hi, Sorry about the delay in replying to you. There is a 40A fuse on the fuse-box and if it's blown, replace it. If it blows again, there is a 95% chance it's your Air Compressor Unit for your suspensions. In my case, I purchased a second-hand one and changed it in about 1 hour. If you are doing it yourself, remove the compression unit and only buy the same part number as there are a few different types. I hope this helps, Seamus
@@seamusrispin1967 Thanks for your reply. Yes, in my case the problem was in the compressor, but I was able to fix it myself. The magnet in the engine came off, I glued it on and everything works fine. Removing and installing the compressor is not at all difficult. The main problem is moisture; you need to change the granules in the dehumidifier often.
@@Mitrofanovalex That is great, well done and thanks for the advice.
YEEEEEESSSSS!!! THANK YOU MAN!! I was going crazy trying the "rolling" procedure in my 350z but with that little orange tool it was just straight forward dumb proof easy! THANK YOU!
Just received the tool and gonna start doing the procedure right now! Wish me luck!
not one on 2016
They should sell the s without the air suspension. I wouldn't want to deal with all that lol.
I have seen some with coil suspension
In Norway Tesla takes 200$ just to calibrate the airsuspention🥲
Thank you for this valuable tips for towing a Sprinter. But unfortunately mine is the older model, and the bumper is not removable.
How do eliminate them
Just do it
Hello. Maybe you can help. I have a Tesla S P85 from 2013. A few days ago, when I get to the car the front suspension is all down. The car hits on every bump, so it's stop till that day. I already change the compressor, because I few days earlier, I ear the compressor working non stop for a almost a hour. I thougt it's bronken. How ever, after change it, no sound I get from the compressor. I receive the solenoid yesterday to change, but I do not now if it's gone work. Now after two weeks, I have all the suspensions down. Do you have any clue? Change the tubes to the suspension? When it hapens, only the from suspension is down. The yellow light first apears, then a red one comes.
Sounds like you have a leak somewhere if compressor works non stop
If you have that much water in the system it would be a good idea to look @ the gel crystals in the pump ( dry them out ) as it will “ wash”the grease from the pump bigend bearing ( very noisy before it gives up) 😖. The bearing can be replaced but it’s not easy
Where i can find the wire reset of nissan versa 2019?
Poor video. This could've just been an article since he didn't show us anything. A waste for a video.
My 2015 Pathfinder has that plug but has many wires
What type of scanner do you have Paul Dark? I'd like to get a scanner that would be able to find those faults. Also, would any 'bluetooth scanner' like Blue Driver Pro or OBDLink MX+ perform those functions? Thanks.
Where did you get the little fitting you replaced the original with?
Actually you can get one from Tesla, but this is brass airline fitting that is used on trucks
I think that is a brilliant diagnosis! Great thinking on your part.
Thanks!
Do you know if X has about same system. Tesla wants to charge $5800 to fix. Completely out of their minds)
I would assume it's about the same
How would you review the performance so far?
Great. I actually bought more TTX suspension parts since that video
When I said Roll I meant Rotate Counterclockwise to loosen it (its a reverse thread fan clutch on this truck)
Is it the same for a 2018 nissan kick
Does anyone know where is the reset wire in a nv200?
Hey Paul. Love the video. Can you post the 'parts' that you used to fix your S? Looking for links to order similar parts. :) Thanks.
Well, you can go to Tesla and give them that relay number, it's like $6. For a air line fix it's a 1/4" brass coupling for air lines, you can buy at places like fleet pride, it's like $4
Does it work on Honda?
No 😢
Hello, my P85D gets the red light “active air suspension automatic self leveling disable” mostly when it becomes freezing outside. I don’t know how to fix it, I think it’s ice somewhere in the system but is there anyway solution to this?
supposed to be 200psi using nitrogen to represurize it
Rewatch the video. Water would be in the distribution block
You will need to warm it up to the point that water in suspension control block thaws. You can take the block off too and make sure to blow all the water out of it, preferably with 100% alcohol flush after (alcohol absorbs water and dries up quick) There is a practice of using alcohol in air lines on big trucks. You may drop some alcohol down the line to the distribution block so it goes through it, once it's unfrozen. Don't add too much, it will collect at the air tank, absorb water and slush around there - you don't want that. Just enough to clear all that water out of there and "dry the lines"
Ended up doing a fuel relay bypass. Problem solved.
So it was same problem as it showed in a video? Sometimes start sometimes not?
@@alexskybun2956 yes. So what I did was test my fuel pump. Fuel pump was good. Apparently the fuel relay is built into the tipm and cannot be replaced like a fuse like non Chrysler vehicles. I found vertical visions bypass for about 60$. Takes about 30 seconds to install. There’s UA-cam videos on it. I installed last winter and even the single digit morning’s it would start up first try. A strong start too. No puttering and no rpm’s dropping. Make sure and get the bypass that has no wiring because that one is not a permanent solution.
Doing this tonight. It's so annoying!!
Sometimes you want to meet the engineers that designed this....:)
Thank you this worked for my 09 Infiniti
Thank you. My 2012 5.7 is doing this. Pretty consistently as well. Going to remove terminals and clean everything up.
Does this work on Infiniti? I have a 2009 g37, purchased a oem tpms from the TPMS website they said all I had to do was a relearn
Look at the previous comment
I'm in a similar situation, I have a 2012 Telsa Model S P85 lowrider. I swapped the relays, and I'm about to see if I'm getting electricity to the pump. Before you replaced the top fitting, do you have any idea of a "normal" pressure in the top reservoir?
Don't remember. Don't have that fitting there anymore, so can't check the pressure. Can anyone that still has the Schrader fitting check on the pressure? I think I read somewhere that it was at 75psi, but I could be wrong
Pressure really don't matter, as long as it's raising up and suspension works good and no error logo, you are fine.
You should also do the AC condensation tube. Right now it is dripping onto the battery pack, That has caused moisture getting inside the pack.
I need to program Sentra 2022 does this method work also?
Pressure problem on my 2004 international. Truck kept shutting off. Thanks for sharing this information. Very helpful 🙏🏾
Tesla didn’t even offer me to try calibrating it to see if air nitrogen would hold!!!!!
That's what I would do to refill it with nitrogen. - Lower the suspension down all the way - Enable "jack mode" (suspension leveling disabled) - Put a vacuum pump on the system to get slight vacuum in there (connect to Schrader valve I showed you removed) - Turn off pump. - Then, while under vacuum, connect your nitrogen tank to vacuum pump (purge the hose prior) and fillthe tank up to pressure you need. Similar to refilling a/c system.
How do you know which code is the problem?
Mine reads “Diagnostic Codes are not available from EGC”
Thanks will try this tomorrow on my Nissan versa 08
Did it work?
@@edt5276 yes it did.
Did anyone try this on an Infiniti Q70 2016? Does not work for me
Try it and let us know here
Didnt work
So do “Pervious codes”mean it’s not the problem
Yes. They store in memory, when problem fixed they will disappear from "warning list"
THANK YOU!
On my son's 2007 Murano this process worked fine, EXCEPT for the fact that when I waited the minute as you suggested the TPMS light stopped flashing. In my case it worked perfectly when I immediately programmed each sensor after getting the TPMS light flashing. Each sensor only took about 1-2 seconds to program. The hazard lights flashed briefly upon successful programming for each one. I also didn't need to remove any of the plastic trim as the small white wire harness device was accessible just looking underneath. (I laid on my back and put the parking brake on to give me clear access.)
Glad it worked, good experience for others to follow on 07 Murano
Worked on a 2004 Murano. Thanks for the video.
You welcome!
do you have a written out directions for this anywhere ?
Nope, of you want you can post it here for everybody.
Hep Paul. This is a great video. My Truck is making the same sound. Will there be a misfire code If there is air in fuel lines? Or does a Misfire code and this sound simply mean there is a bad injector?
I have the problem to it seems like the sensor wire needs to be replaced 😕 🙃
You are doing it the wrong way brother 😂 never put a bottle jack underneath a differential man
2007 G35. Look above obd2, you find the plug behind black tape. No need to remove any panels. I used speaker wire to ground it to door lock hinge. PSI. FL34, FR31, RR29, RL26. Turn engine to on position. Tap 6 times. If it was flashing before, you will notice it flashing at a different rate. If it wasn't flashing before, it will begin to flash. Push the brake and start the car immediately after you notice the flash. Drive until the light becomes constant (20 mins). The relearn is complete. The light will remain constant. You need to put the proper tire pressure and let it turn off by itself. If you have a scanner, you will know it worked as you will no longer have 4 codes for no signal. Tested today Aug 7th 2022 on 2007 g35x.
What was the tire pressure you put in?
thanks buddy! Will try for my 07 coupe
Need help please show me where I can’t find it
Thank you. It worked
