I'm a compulsive fixer. I like to save money doing things myself.
When it comes to my relationship with cars, let's just say it's complicated. I like cars, but they're so high maintenance and take so much time. Most of what needs fixing is cars, so that's the majority of my content.
I like to share what I learn and I love to be creative, so I share these videos with you. These are more educational than entertaining, but with some humor here and there.
Thank you. All mine leaked out do to having a hole in the line. I want to try switching it out and not paying $500+ just to replace the hose and fill it back up. But where do you get your oil yo lube it from?
Awesome, and easy to follow along with. You speak clearly and don't jump from one part to another without explaining what you are doing. Thank a bunch!!!!!!!!!
I have that issue, I have to come to a full stop to go into 1st gear, I have to go very slowly into gear, and as you can imagine sometimes you can't really stop (lets say a steep hill), is there a way I can stop the grinding, 1st gear syncro is totally gone. I tried double clutching, but I always seem to scrape it.
PRO TIP; the unlock actuator is what opens the door the handle is just a retainer and lever. Hold the broken handle halfway out and pull on the unlock actuator and the door will open. Ford made it cheap but they sure didn't make it unsafe.
I was literally going to do this because I thought the part was going to be expensive, but I searched for the part on ebay and it was only $7 shipped. They're probably cheap because they break so frequent based on the searches I have done. If the part wasn't so cheap and a safety concern if I ever let a family member borrow the car, I have just used the method you mentioned
Umm you know you totally bled the coolant wrong right? You want to put a clear hose on the bleeder you opened and run it to a funnel that is sealed to the radiator opening, then put heat to "off", start car, and hold at 2000-2500 rpm, keep filling the funnel as needed (you may need help or use a board to hold gas pedal to correct rpm) this does take a while but you will get all of the air out this way. I have a feeling there was some issues after the repair, with possibly no heat in car and or overheating. Maybe you got lucky, but these 2GR-FE engines are a challenge to bleed. ok have a good one.
Have this job sitting in my driveway right now for a customer. Thanks for video it convinced me to bail on this one. Also a set of quick struts to be done. Easy money beats throwing your nuts in a blender every single time.
Dude,, the temporary drain stop was genius! (I would have stomped asl the way back to the tool box 😂) And ratcheting the motor out of the way!! I enjoyed the entire video and gathered the info I needed before tackling my 2014. Thank you for posting.
Hey, great production. Thinking of doing this with the Banks oil cooler, but have to admit the limited access is intimidating. Some of your process will come in handy. Regards!
Your video is great. My question is when you put it back in the 2nd time did you install it with the coolant pipe installed? I got mine apart and just getting ready to install mine. Is the stud on the water pump E8 or E9? Also on the elbow putting the gasket in, did you put it in after the cooler was loosely installed? Thanks
Will it grind randomly when not changing gears? Trying to dianoise a grinding sound, I've just had a new clutch & it's very loose & I do get a tiny grind changing gears some times but also when I'm not.
@@jtandrews3 thank you, I seen in a 1A video their kit came with some kind of alignment tool for a manual but I havnt found any good videos. Or any reference to where I’d need it. Does your screw driver and flywheel trick work on a manual as well? Appreciate the the video and the feedback back
Great video! I just changed my power steering fluid on a honda element. I'm not sure what happend but I'm no longer getting any air bubbles and my outlet hose from the resevoir is crushing with air after running for 30 sec or so. I can hear the suction as the engines running coming from the resevoir side of the hose. Eventually the resevoir will overflow if level is topped off. I'm hoping I didn't burn any components. Cars off the ground. Was rotating tires with car off, then on. Wasn't driving around town tearing up the pump. Any suggestions what I can do? Did I just not get all the air out of the system..
Good video! My car is 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS, currently at 125k. About a month ago it wasn’t blowing cold air so I decided to use one of this refrigerant cans and accidentally put to much in the system. Had to take it to a shop so they evacuated the whole system, changed the expansion valve and refilled it. It didn’t seem to work cause a/c was working but not getting cold air as it should. Now I’m having this issue with my RPM at idle when the A/C is on. It also have this little noise coming from the blower motor, but it only seems to happen when idling. Car runs smooth, but at red lights or stop signs RPM goes down and it becomes shaky and then this noise from the blower motor comes out (it only happens when a/c is on). Also replaced the throttle body, coils, spark plugs, MAP sensor, PCV valve because of this rough idle, and right now IDK what else to do with this. Dealer was asking for $550 for just a diagnosis and I don’t trust them anymore, so I’m running out of ideas
@@thatboiiraw First thing I'd check is the idle air control valve. The A/C does put a load on the engine, so idle fluctuations are normal, but it shouldn't seem like it's about to stall the whole time the compressor is on. Also, the radiator fan should also come on while the compressor is on.
What model Autel are you using? I have the same problem with my 2018 Chevy Duramax and trying to clear the infamous 75 miles until 55MPH. Do not have any codes now but still have the emissions message.
Now I honestly see why y'all charge so much for labor a car is such a complicated system I'm currently having trouble with my Buick rendezvous 2004 it's been overheating for a good 2 months now I guess I have ride too long too far while it over heat that it not simply stopped running after 10 minutes of driving 😢 went to a neighborhood mechanic either he wasn't sufficient or my car was just literally a major headache I'm guessing now it's considered a blown head gasket so now I'm just simply trying to weigh out my options should I get a new or should I invest in this one get it back up and running the prose is that it's my first car and I have got comfortable with it and the insurance is fair but on the other hand it's causing way too much trouble a serious question do you think it's wortg getting it repair knowing that the gasket is blown? Or should I cut my losses
I have a 10 lb Sledge with a 12-inch handle. Because of its mass you only have to take a small stroke to make the metal sing. Because it's the vibration that causes the separation of the parts. That comes from an auto mechanic who has been working on cars since 1963. And I love physics. Give it a try next time. Great video
We've replaced 2 NOX2 on our 2017 Silverado 2500HD LT 6.6L (say that once fast) and it just keep saying LOST COMMUNICATIONS. Chevy should be required to replace all of our CHAFING wire harnesses (if that's what is causing that error).
I know my videos aren't for everyone, but if you had to replace the water pump on your Sienna, maybe you would find the video helpful. Have a nice day!
