@williamwerman3268 3 года назад

Another tip, let the engine run for about 30 seconds before driving. Make sure engine oil is circulating and transmission oil. Only takes a few seconds. I seen several people take off and floor it as soon as it starts. And it never hurts to drive slow and easy until everything gets warm.

My rx400H was overheating for 2weeks straight especially in a traffic jam, my hit n run mechanics were giving cock n bull tales. Thank God I stumbled on Scotty's videos and a few others like it... little did I know that the water in the radiator was causing this problem due to its lower boiling point. I instructed & supervised the drained of the water and also did a flush with distilled water. Added the appropriate coolant and my car has driven perfect since then. I'm so grateful for videos like these. Saving us thousands

@indridcold8433 3 года назад

I got tired of the old plastic radiator falling apart in my vehicle every other year. So I bought an after market aluminum radiator with an extra tank. It has been great! Since it is aluminum, it radiates a lot of heat. The plastic radiators barely radiate any heat at all. They are only warm to the touch. My giant aluminum radiator gets very hot as the heat escapes from it. The fan barely turns on at all. I loved my aluminum radiator

@ericspecullaas2841 3 года назад

About 10 years we had a 93 Corolla with the big 1.8L engine 🤣 and were going Yosemite national park. On the way there the temp gauge was perfectly fine. But when we were heading home the radiator cap failed on us so when ever we would hit a hill the temp would skyrocket. So long story short check your cap before you go on a long trip😅😅😅

@HR-wd6cw 3 года назад

IDK. I think depending on the age of the vehicle and overall condition of the rest of the vehicle, aftermarket may be considerably cheaper. I know when I had my 97 Civic worked on (from an insurance claim) about 12 years ago they opted to use aftermarket fenders and I couldn't tell the difference, other than the fender didn't have the VIN sticker on the inside of the panel). Of course, the car was 11 years old at the time anyway. ON a modern car, (one made in the last 20 years) you would want to stick with OEM parts most likely but for older vehicles, if you're paying for the repair, you can save quite a bit of money by buying aftermarket. And to be honest, not everything from China is junk. Even Scotty says he has stuff that was made in China that lasted longer than some stuff that was US_made and didn't last more than a few years. It just depends on the item in most cases. What you really don't want to buy from China are critical components like belts and hoses, etc. or even light bulbs. But fenders and body parts aren't going to kill or cause a catastrophic failure while driving.

2 more: follow the speed limit in town. Increase speed by 41% doubles the fuel required and work required. When you see a red light take your foot off the accelerator and coast up. If it turns green before you get to the intersection you prevented a stop and you just have to accelerate to cruising speed.

@timmcshane6635 3 года назад

You can also turn off the engine to save fuel while coasting up to the lights. It only works if you are going to be stopped or the engine is off for 10 to 12 seconds for most cars. It doesn't wear and tear on the engine because it takes a while, much longer than 10 or 12 seconds for the oil to run back down into the engine. Yet it saves fuel if you have a good amount of stop and go traffic and long stop lights. Obviously turn your engine back on as soon as you reach the speed you need to regain your place in traffic!

You should put a drain on the battery before you crank the engine to literally warm up the mains wires; just run the high beams for a few seconds to bring the wires up to temperature and the proper resistance & capacitance. I have no idea if it has any basis in reality but it sounded cool anyhow 😂

We just made the decision to skip buying the 2020 Touareg SEL-R because it has a severely under powered 4cyl turbo. Why would they put a weak 4 banger in a mid-size suv, yea i know its cheaper but come on. The veedub is a beautiful suv but we're going with the CX5 GTouring model(non turbo). Turbo'd small engines wear out so much faster.

Buying quality parts, no way to tell what's quality when everything is made in Ch-yna & put in "Quality" manufactures box. Bring factories back to USA now

@onYTsince2008 3 года назад

American-made cars are the WORST. They are made for planned obsolescence so that the American car companies can make more sales. Their cars breaking more often makes their service department rich. Then when the badly-build Merkin car breaks down again....you go get another American one.....

@@onYTsince2008 Eh that's subjective imo. You take care of your car properly & it should last 200,000 miles every time imo.

@chrisgraham2904 3 года назад

Hey Scotty...You confirmed what I thought, that new engines that stop and start at every red light are going to take a beating. Has to be incredibly harsh on the starter, so are their starters "super heavy duty" and what are they worth compared to a standard starter?

@atuber7301 3 года назад

The starter is the least of your worries. It’s the engine that wears out, starter is just a bolt on lego piece

Starters last pretty long, ya shouldnt worry about them, worry about your engine

I have a 1995 Celica convertible and the metal or aluminum that folds the top back broke right where the windows meet! Any suggestions on fixing it without replacing?????

@Vgp-rp4iu 3 года назад

I have a 97 Celica and love it. It was my very first vehicle bought for me for my 15th birthday back in 97. It's got 140k miles and had always been garage kept and doesn't have a scratch on it. It could pass as new. Interior is perfect and the ac blows ice cold. Never been in the shop. Only done oil changes, a few brake jobs, and just had to replace the clutch at 130k miles. That's all that's ever been done to it. It's a damn tank.

Don’t forget to check the cabin air filter while you’re doing the engine filter. I checked the one on the last used car I bought, and it was FILTHY!
