My purpose for making this channel is to help people learn how to fix things like cars and motorcycles. Nowadays, labor for fixing vehicles and motorcycles are very high even though the parts are cheap! You don't even know that if the mechanic will do a good job fixing your cars or motorcycles or not. Most of the time mechanics will tell you that you need to replace this or that, mostly it's not true. You'll end up paying high dollars to get it fixed. Now it's time to put a stop to this nonsense labor! Also, I included DIY projects. These DIY projects will also help you gain the knowledge, motivate you to do it yourself to save even more MONEY! IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!
I know that I have different content in this channel. I just wanted to have a wide variety of contents in one channel, kind of like one stop shop and including musical vlogs on our Road Trips/Vacations with this channel so that someday you might like to visit those places too.
Thanks for the video it really helped me out! Just a heads up to people taking this job on, you don't really need to remove the tire to get to the pump I was able to do it with just turning the wheel Thanks!
I replaced the module and all good with the exception that the a/c fun stopped working. wondering if this can be related or if I touched anything under there that made it stop working... thanks for the video !!
For one you do NOT use gasket maker on a rubber gasket it's absolutely not needed for a valve cover gasket unless you didn't seat the gasket properly! And never use the extension when tapping in a seal look at all your indents into the new seal from it. Always use some like a socket to get an even flush hit on the new seal. I feel bad people are telling you good job wtf
Thanks for the input buddy. You are correct, I won't blame you on this one. Using gasket maker just to help seats the gasket better, but either way....will get the job done BETTER than the dealerships and help people save money and not getting ripped off from the dealerships.....a bunch of scams! Yes there are indents on the seal from using extension due to not having the sockets that can do the job....so you have to be flexible and adapt to the situation to get the job done and guess what? The outcome is the same...no oil leaks. 👍 There is no right or wrong method on fixing cars.... it's all on different person and on who has the best and easiest methods. Working on cars for the past 30 years, I am sure know how different methods used and which would work.
Awesome video! I took my 2018 GLC for service at Mercedes and asked them to check my washer leak. They confirmed it was in fact leaking from the pump and said it would cost $613 plus tax to replace the pump 😂 i declined the repair and I will be following your lead and doing it myself. Thank you
Have a question, i thought the part your replacing look like the transfer case instead of Transmission oil, i am confused when viewing other video. so Please don't kill me thanks
Thanks you. So may I have couple more questions 1. I see there is another sort of pan next to it with drain bolt. What that is? 2. For the rear differential, I see that when I drain the old oil it was red color but the Valvoline 75w-90 is clear. Can you please help to explain?
You're welcome my friend. The pan that located next to the transmission is the engine oil pan. I believed that it was the original fluid from Toyota. Some rear differential fluid from Toyota on certain model uses ATF. But please confirm that with the Toyota dealership. They would be able to tell you the exact fluid that your year model used for rear differential.....I hope this help or at least guided you to the right path. 🙂🙏
Resin beads will last between 10-15 years and the beads can be damaged by chlorine concentration that's in city water and the iron concentration for well water.
@@MrBeeHS Thank you very much, I have hard water. 215. Culligan salesman wants to sell me water softener $5000. Self regeneration etc. too much money, not sure if I need purification also, lawn, plants fish pond etc
That's way too much. I do have hard water as well and this whole kit is about $500-$800 at Home Depot. You definitely will save a lot of money DIY. Yhis kit comes with pre-filter as well.
My 2006 Highlander hybrid is starting to shift kind of hard every time I change from drive to reverse or anything like that. If the sealed transmission was leaking fluid and was low, could that be the cause of the rough shifts?
Thanks for nice video. I think it's fine to not prime the oil filter as long as you ran the engine for few min before and after changing oil. (since oil is coating all engine surface). Of course if you are not running engine before and after oil change, then it's very crucial to prime oil filter. One thing I wondered was why car doesn't have oil circulation system independent of engine running like expensive engines. In expensive engines, oil circulation system runs to ensure oil is distributed to all engine parts before engine is started. Perhaps such mod can be made with custom installed electric oil pump, but I guess nobody cares that much about a car engine.
Yes you are correct. It's fine not to prime the oil filter. It's just old habits to prime the oil filter. 😅 Yeah, it'll cost more for car manufacturers to install an independent oil circulation. They are keeping their cost low for profits.
My apologies my friend and thank you for mentioning that 🙏. Also I really do appreciate you for catching my mistakes. 🙏 I used Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-40 engine oil.
Yeah, I am on your side for that one my friend. It was the best engineering for that time and now they finally improved it....it took them long enough though 😂
Yes, you are correct! You pay for the first part and the second one is AKA....free. This was my third transmission service for this SUV. 😊 Basically, in the nutshell, you ended up paying a small portion of the part that was warrantied, which is shipping back to them. It's not like Autozone.
You can get them on Amazon, here's the link. Limited-time deal: KATANA H11 Bulb,H9 H8 Light Bulb 16000LM 70W 6500K White Extremely Super Bright Plug and Play Mini Size of Fog Bulb 2 a.co/d/gYtGrW8
hello again, after a few months of usage (installation mid April), the filter is most likely clogged as I notice a significant drop in water flow. How long did your filter last? they advertise 6 months, but I feel like it is much shorter. I will change mine tomorrow and see!
Hello, I still have the original filter in. It last quite a while. If your filter clogged less than 6 months, I would highly recommend installing another pre sediment filter. Sounds like that your city water is not quite as clean....just my opinion. Let's try that to see if it'll helps.
@@MrBeeHS I see, what type of pre-sediment filter would you recommend? Im curious to see the state of my current filter (im waiting on getting the silicone grease delivered for the O ring when I replace the filter). I live in the tampa bay area in FL, the water in the state is quite hard. In my household it is only 2 adults with just 2 bathrooms. Now when we flush the toilet and taking a shower and run a faucet, the water drop is significant. ill report back!
You can get the pre sediment filter and the unit from Home Depot or Lowe's. They have many selections and the one that I am currently using is from GE and I got the filter from Amazon because they sell way cheaper than Home Depot or Lowe's.
@@MrBeeHS so i just changed the filter, it is caked on brown stuff, to the point that the filter ripped on one part. im gonna look into implementing a pre-filter, they are cheap. thanks!
how does this show at night especially with night time rainy conditions? I tried some led and while they project fine they were useless win inght time rainy conditions.
The headlights are good at night and not as good when it rained because of the white color. If you want the headlights to perform best, you should choose yellow color or halogen bulbs. The down side of halogen bulbs are that they consume too much energy and not as bright at night when the roads are dry. You won't get both world.
i watched other videos where it's suggested the factory procedure says you need to take off throttle body and intake manifold, after cowling, wiper motor and tray have been removed. I'd rather not have to need with removal and reinstall of those parts if i can help it. So was accessibility not that big an issue with leaving them in place for this procedure?
You can leave those on, the manufacturers always tell you to remove more than you needed. Most of the time you can definitely avoid removing all those parts. Some mechanics will remove and some won't. I hope thos helps my friend.
@@MrBeeHS thanks that helps knowing I can tackle this job without having to remove those intake manifold and throttle body parts. i'd prefer to not have to disturb themm if possible.
I noticed you extracted iridium type spark plugs. My understanding is the factory oem ones are platinum tt type spark plugs. Can you clarify which are the oem type plugs and what type you'd recommend replacing them with? Also any insights on mileage or years of service at which point plug replacement becomes relevant?
Yes you are correct! This vehicle belongs to one of my clients and he wants me to install those spark plugs, which I didn't recommended him. I did recommended him to get only NGK or Denso for his vehicle. You should replace the spark plugs every 60,000 miles......sometimes they can go up to 100,000 miles, depends on how hard you drive your car. I hope this helps.
@@MrBeeHS thanks for the response. Seems like no way to confirm if I have from the factory denso iridium or platinum tt type spark plugs without having to pull an ignition coil and plug. The reason I'd want to know is I'm told iridium ones are expected to last 120k where as platinum tt ones are only expected to last 60k. I'm closing in on 60k / 10yrs and don't want to have to change anything if its really not necessary. Any insights on how bad it is to just wait for some car sensor to determine a plug is no longer firing consistently and notify owner via a dummy light or dtc [ diagnostic trouble code ]?
I would recommend to change them out. Especially if you bought your car second hand. It's part of the basic maintenance on your car and preventative maintenance. I wouldn't wait until it breaks because it'll lead you to bigger problems down the road.
Great your work which would save a lot of money and for sure it would work. Appreciated your time. I would like to know where you bought your hand pump to pump the fluid back into the pan, please.
Good morning, Mr. Bee. Could you please teach me how often I need to add salt pellets to the black plastic tank? How many bags of salt pellets should be added? Thank you very much, chih
@@MrBeeHS Hi Mr. Bee I added two bags of salt pellets to the black tank yesterday. Do I need to adjust anything on the top screen of the metal tank? I have a Whole House Water Softener System similar to the one in your video.
All I know is, those 2 bolts in the back of the manifold took me an hour to find until i found your video and yet this V6 still piss me off 😂 😤😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 basically me trying to change the this hybrid spark plug 🤣
