Just wanted to thank you for the tip, im 62 so it was a little bit of work but im stubborn so got it done in about 45 mins thanks again and have great day!
great look. I am going to be getting H&R springs for my 2019 Camry. Was thinking about Eibach, but they lower a bit too much for what I am wanting. The H&R's are the perfect drop even on the Camry too.
Why did this video not come up in my algorithm until AFTER I just finished the replacement, the manifold removal way?! :’( haha great video though. Thank you
So this came up also I'm having loss of power when I'm driving and also when I turn my car on if it's been sitting overnight there's a loud noise that starts and it lasts about 5 or 6 seconds and then it shuts off almost like a loud grinding noise I'm wondering if it's my oil pump
Went to Walmart had a oil change they over filled it way above max line on the dipstick and the oil pressure warning went off I check it went back they drained it and put it to the correct amount like they should have the first time and it still went off when I was going home it still went off
You can just pry it open when the vehicle is unlocked. The key will just fit between the body & the fuel door. Twist the key in the gap & the door will pop open. To not scratch the paint simply wrap a rag or something similar around the key. At some point you’ll want to replace the actuator switch, but you shouldn’t find yourself stranded at a gas station if you do this. ❤
@@JoelsDriveway you just got the regular one right with out the tools ? I’m in search of one my VW CC is leaking coolant I’m afraid my water pump is out 😞
@thebigbosss1000 got the kit I believe. It's been awhile. Just make sure it's for your specific engine. When the pump fails, it leaks coolant, a LOT. Good luck on the repair! Reach out if you need guidance on my Instagram.
My GTI 2009 comes on with EPC light when I switch ignition off give it a minute turn it back on it’s gone what do you think this is it’s stage 2 remap and few bits done
Today i bought tiguan 2014 . I changed oil and filter then I was very happy while driving on the highway and suddenly “ oil pressure warning 😂😂” i checked the engine oil it was ok 🫤 now i realised that the problem is the sensor😅
Got this light last night, i checked my oil levels and they are where they should be. Just got an oil change 2 days ago and then thus warning came up, never seen it before. Has anyone figured out what i might be running into?
Same here I just bought this car and the owner changed the oil recently. It looked full and clean. Once I got this issue the oil was still where its at. Car runs fine but just a little laggy in regular drive when taking off from a stop. I'm going to start with the sensor!
Just started getting this light on & off on my mk6.5 GLI last week, i replaced my oil sensors couple days ago and this morning light turned on again. Gonna replace my oil filter (even though its fairly new) and if that doesnt work next will be oil pump. Car runs perfectly fine though no problems so idk
got my car in the shop rn. did an oil pressure test and everything checks out, had the oil sensor replaced and it’s still saying engine oil pressure shut car off immediately…over here spending every dollar i have to try and solve this problem and it seems just unsolvable so wondering if anyone has got any clue as to what might be happening?
Let me know what you find as the issue, I got an oil change yesterday and then that light came on for me today out of nowhere. Reading through the comments I still don't see a clear answer as to what is wrong. Is it possibly something the place that changed my oil did?
Saw this issue for the first time today on my Mk6 Gti that’s at 87k miles. Recently got an oil change and it’s not leaking. I checked my dip stick and she got nuff oil. Will change out the oil pressure sensor once it gets here.
Anyone else having this problem? Mines a 2016. Its like sputtering, making almost like a grinding noise. . .or not grinding but you can hear something spinning when you hit the gas. It has this same sign but my oil levels are full and i did a full service and changed my spark plugs and everything. Could it be the oil pump?
I have a 2016 Jetta. No issues with this yet, but don’t wanna get stuck at gas station ever with door that will not open. How about just disconnecting the actuator when in the “open” position and leaving it that way for good? Would avoid ever getting stuck, which is greater risk than someone stealing gas from my tank or similar. Thoughts?
Anyone else have issues with the headlights just dimming for a second when you hit the breaks or when you adjust the blower fan. Put a new alternator in and battery. Still dims.
