Taxi life with a wanked out converted french panel van

[Panel]

€35 to erase a fucking code... shocked is an understatement. Are them French panel vans not OBDII compliant?

They are but they can’t reset the code on the obdII, a good diagnosis system can only reset it.

[Rat Catcher]

Shame. There's a great one for VAGs - OBD Eleven. Essentially, it's Ross Tech in an app for pennies, although it has increased in price since I both mine a good few years ago, c.€30 then for the dongle and the (automatic updating) software.

The reliable Prius needs attention from time to time too..

There is an easier way to change a headlight bulb on a Prius!!

Intake manifold full of carbon and oily shite, egr and cooler blocked. Loads of disassembly to get at the plugs.

Bag and tag and it goes back together easy enough

What car....i take it it's a diesel?

Nice work wingnut, there’s something therapeutic working on cars, just you the car and the few jobs to be done. Many a happy few hours working on cars to clear the head.

I’ve booked it in with myself to do the cabin/pollen filter , I don’t think it’s ever been done 9 year old now so there’s a good chance it’s never been done. Planning on doing it tomorrow weather dependant.

And bloodied knuckles.....and using all the swear words (and makey up ones) in your vocabulary while the rest of the family try to hide their laughter!!

That's true Panel, that job was a half days work but with a used EGR and cooler from ebay the prius like new again.

God only knows what Toyota would have charged for the job, bonus is that I'll have the spare Egr and cooler cleaned and ready for next time.
