I used small bottle of k-seal on my 04 Murano. It cleared engine code and white smoke from exhaust. I drive it sparingly on streets only and avoid freeways. So far its held out. On another note, I tried same on Toyota Sienna and it didnt work/last but I drove on freeway.
Wow, I thought it would be a lot easier, it took me almost 3 hours and almost a cry but finally got it. That bolt in the bottom is hard level, however good tutorial you make it look so easy
Friends.. I want to give you an update on the car conditions.. The car kept running good since mid December when I did it till early March. One morning in March it just did not want to start, try try and try and it sounded it like the starter, battery or something like that BUT everything was good, I even replaced the battery and nothing, the mechanic before had told me that coolant was getting on top of the cylinder and that was why it did not want to start or create combustion. I went ahead an bough another vehicle and did not proceed the fixing. This fix only lasted a bit more than 3 months.
Bottom bolt is hell . Dude magically cut through the struggle 😂 to make the job look easy . I mean the job is easy but the bottom bolt with no space can make a 30 minute job turn to a whole day .
Hardest part of this job is installing the bottom 12mm bolt (video does not address this) because the hole in the adjustment block have to be lined up with the 12mm threads in the body of the alternator. To make this bolt installation easier insert a pencil through the threaded hole for this bolt in the alternator body from the back side (closest to the oil dipstick) to the front (towards the pulley side). Next put the pencil through the adjustment block hole, so you have both holes lining up. Now take the 12mm bolt into left hand and push out the pencil, while holding the alternator in place with the right hand. You can start the bolt into the threads by hand and continue with a wrench. I found that 12 mm ratcheting spanner like Husky Model# HRRW12MM from Home Depot works in this spot much better than a socket and a ratchet. It's also a good idea to lubricate the threads on the alternator body before starting the installation.
I really don't know the exact type as this was the 3rd relocation, but I believe this is what they call Superior Ocean Front. King side bed, Ocean view.
What kind of smell? I'm booked here for after Christmas hopefully no issues I have Suite/Ocean View room looks just like your 1st room but not Villa. Thanks for posting Video...
Just did this. It was a bit more work than I was expecting but not as much as I had feared. I didn't have a good needle nose but a flathead screwdriver is great for pushing that lock nut around. Just kinda turn the screwdriver like normal but do it "orbitally" and it works fine. The electrical connector for the motor didn't want to come off. I had to push real hard with the flathead at just the right spot. It finally came loose. I had some of the nylon cord broken off inside the motor. I could tell by the length of the new nylon compared to the length of the old. I needed to get to the motor. There was no water collecting in that well, so that was nice. I was hoping to save a step and just turn the motor upside-down and activate the radio so it spit out the old nylon. That didn't work. I had to remove it. I was kinda afraid of the drain tube, that if I removed it from the vehicle (leaving it attached to the motor) it would be hard to get back in. But it wasn't. Once I got the motor off I went inside to take it apart. The weather was nasty. The motor was very greasy and dirty. I used an old pizza box on the table to contain the mess, along with about 20 different paper napkins. Still messy. There was a metal bracket at the base with two grounding cables. Take that off first and place it to the side. Five phillips screws holding the motor together. Remove them and pry gently with a flathead. It opens fairly easy. Inside, everything was caked with blackened grease. I could tell it was originally beige, maybe a paraffin-based grease. I was going to spray it all down with lithium grease but then didn't. The busted length of nylon was very easy to remove, and you could tell by the configuration that it coiled its way helically to fit the whole thing into the motor. I un-helixed it and threw it out. FYI do this with a garbage can right next to you. The parts were extremely caked with blackened grease. I took off the main cog and that white plate and wiped them with paper napkins. That wasn't enough so I used some Q-tips too. The cog had dirty grease all in the teeth so I covered my thumb with a napkin and used my thumbnail to scrape the grease out sideways from between the teeth. I got most of it. I don't know what kind of grease was in there originally but the internet said bearing grease won't destroy nylon. So I got out a tub of bearing crease and I re-greased all the nmoving parts with that. Like I said, lithium grease just didn't seem to be good enough for this. And I didn't want to repeat the operation. Make sure you get all the parts back in before closing it up. I nearly forgot this little spindle thing and had to re-open the case. Once I got it all back together it was time to go back to the car. I decided the smart play was to get just the antenna installed and then test the radio. I didn't want to rip all those panels back out. At first I didn't think the motor was hooked back up properly because nothing was happening. But when I popped my head in the car I could hear it trying to go up and down. This being 2023, nobody has a muffler anymore and just when you try to hear something important a loud car goes by. The hard thing was finding that sweet spot where the nylon "catches". I would stuff the nylon down and nothing happened. The whole thing was snakey to begin with and didn't want to stay straight. The key was trying to spin it around real fast until it dropped down to the next level down. Once it got there, you could feel the vibrations as the sprocket was hitting against the nylon. It was a very good positive. My son had that back window down so I didn't need to tap the window. I told him to turn off the radio. He did, and it began Lady and the Tramping that nylon right down. Carefully line everything up and let it suck it down into the guts of the motor. Now turn the radio back on and listen to the sound quality. Good. Turn the radio back off again. The outer lock nut went back on with no problem and I used a flat head orbitally to re-install it. Toward the end it got hard to turn so I came at is sideways with the flathead and pushed against the closest needle nose indentations. Now do the on-off with the radio so I can see the actual movement of the antenna. Works good. Slap all the interior panels back together and wash up. Then take a paper napkin and some Dawn for dishes and clean up the table. That greasy dirt gets everywhere. If you can do this outside or at a work bench somewhere, do that instead. And then once it was over I was hungry. It was my son's car so we had Bourbon Street Steaks at Applebees - his treat. Done and done.
Also I didn't use a genuine Toyota antenna. I used an aftermarket one. They had an 11 dollar one on Amazon that looked more cheaply built, and a 17 dollar one that looked like the original. I got the 17 dollar one.
Several years ago, I replaced the AC compressor on our RX, which requires removing the alternator if you don't remove the radiator. I was having a lot of trouble getting it out in the recommended way (without removing that 12mm adjustment bolt), so I pulled the front right wheel off to get better access. Probably a lot of extra unnecessary work...but since I was having no luck getting the alternator to budge, it seemed to make sense at the time. Hope this helps somebody.
Removing the coolant overflow tank took me about 60 seconds, and replacing the passenger bulb about 2 minutes. This process you are describing by taking the wheel off is not the quickest or the easiest.
Thanks for the info!, I mentioned that is Bavaro beach, check my other videos I also went to Bayahive and La Caleta Beach too. Next time I will make sure to go to the true Punta Cana beach.. thanks
Hello my friend thank you for sharing your video, for clear water you have to stay in punta Cana you are in Bavaro region the water are not crystal clear !👍
As soon as you said there was a sensor that stops the heating if it thinks the door is open, I checked my door. There was a piece of ham stuck there 😂. All fixed now. Thanks!
I replaced the 🔋 and the alternator and im still have trouble it dies after I turn off the car it wont turn back on I have the same year and model any ideas anyone can help with ?
