6:30 It's called diesel runaway and it happens when seals in turbo give up and it lets oil into intake. It starts running at very high rpm because diesel engines burn oil very well. You can't shut the car down and it will run until it runs out of oil and engine locks up. You have three options basically either stall it if you have an manual, cover the intake so no air gets into intake which is dangerous or wait until engine locks up.

I owned a 1963 Oldsmobile Jetfire which was one of the first Turbo cars. It ran fine, but you had to make sure you kept up on Turbo Fluid Maintenance. It used a special fluid to keep the turbo lubricated. I had the car for 3 years and sold it to a man down the road and he used it for another 10 years.

I love how Sandro's explanations are simple and straightforward ( for dummies like myself ) and Angelina's are a bit more in depth but still simple enough to grasp ( she's definitely an instructor).

Angelina and Sandro are definitely in the dream blunt rotation

[Irontrianglegarage]

I love these two! Sandro keeps it real. Angelina is more technical but still light.

[focusedraider]

I need more of Sandro and Ms. A! They are really good mechanics and entertaining to watch!!

[adamgroszkiewicz]

I agree with Sandro's diagnosis "too much power couldn't handle it"....10/10 for the mexican vampire mechanic.

[Romefreak]

You can tell Angelina is an automotive instructor, she's always does such a good job explaining what's going on and why it happens, and how to avoid that problem. Her students must come out as real experts if they pay attention.

James: "I'm gonna give you a preemptive 'get your minds out of the gutter!'"
Sandro: mind is climbing the ladder, getting ready to dive into the gutter
