GAS TANK HEAT SHIELD NO LONGER IDENTIFIES AS A HEAT SHIELD🤔🤣🤪😜 

Doesn't anybody clear their drains. VERY GOOD 👍 👍 👍

"It's falling apart in my hands" my mind went straight to a terrible leprosy joke. I am so going to hell!

Sometimes you have to bend it a little to get it in without damage. Nice job! You should check for Fievel activity with all that debris.

Good job. I hope you cleared out those leaves!

Michigan. Know the flavor.

I would have initially thought the rattling is coming from those soon-to-be Feifel nests at the base of the windshield.

Ahh the joys of living in the rust belt.

That wasn't a Heat Shield... That was a Heat Strainer... At best... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣

there was a time when I kept a box of oversized fender washers on my bench for securing heat shields when the fastening holes had rotted out. I think this one was WELL beyond that phase!

Heat shields in place. Ready for re-entry

I love it, as soon as the video came up I went. Well, well, well what do we have here? Oh Look it's the venerable, completely underpowered, never dies, we used a timing chain this time, 1.8 VVT! baby! Most underpowered and overbuilt 4 banger Nippon ever produced. It's the engine you hate to love. This be why 'rollas and Vibes never die.

CSW, I concur with your diagnosis. That was a Swiss Cheese Heat Flow-Thru Screen. And if you have a rattle in 2003-2008 Toyota Corollas, Toyota Matrices, and Pontiac Vibes, and it is NOT under the car, check the belt tensioner bolts; the longest bolt (Giggity!) that threads into the engine block had a defect, and shears in half apparently due to load stress induced by the tensioner, which was also redesigned. If you are lucky you can extract the bolt by loosening the passenger-side engine mount and jacking the motor up just enough to get enough room to get the bolt pieces out. There is a TSB and a since-ended internal recall on the bolts and I think the 1st Gen OEM tensioners. I love my little Corolla, but ask me how I learned this on the used 2003 Toyota I bought in April of this year...

That's lot of rust 😮

They should use some Fluid Film.

Looked like you had nachos for lunch with all that flavour chips 🍟

Speaking of heat shields. After watching this video I crawled under one of my pickups to find out why the floor pan under the passenger seat was getting too hot to touch. The heat shield for the cat was touching both the cat and the underside of the floor pan. I'm going to need the cat lowered a smidgen.

WOW!!...all these Rusted parts are strange to me being that I live in Southwestern🏜 Arizona with No Rust issues like this..

Year make model is usually helpful in the description

the amount of rust on every car in your area is insane :)

So that's what those random rusty sheets of metal I'd find looking for scrap on the roads...find a lot of catalytic converter heat shields I think that's what they are.

Wonder what happened to the old snap on fender cover

Was wondering how much for the part.

I particularly enjoyed the customers on board composting system on the cowl..duhooh🤪🇨🇦👍

Nice 👍👍

It has to be said, CSW is a handsome guy. Now don’t jump to conclusions here people. You know how straight a Roman road is? Okay, they never made it across the pond so trust me, it’s damn straight, like me! 🍺

Good job CSW.

Please tell people to vacuum up the debris in the cowl vents!

….check and advise

It’s nice to see you getting gravy jobs.

What is the Part Number for the shield please? I have been advised Toyota Part 77641A or same as 7764102131 but it does not look like what has rusted away! Mine looks exactly like yours in the video. Car is 2009 Corolla S. Thank you for the great video. Regards.

Great job .. does no one clean out their cowl sections ??

👍👍

My Honda Accord identifies as a Ferrari 458 .

Thanks guy

Any where I can find one of those heat shields?

Pads are healthy not so sure about the petrified backing plates and calipers though

Nobody has to replace a heat shield out here in the wild west.

I've never replaced a heat shield other than on an exhaust manifold, mostly we just throw them away and that's that. People generally don't consider them an absolutely essential item and I can't say I've ever heard anyone ask how much a new one would be.

Whats the part number lol i need that heat shield replaced

Safety goggles? You mean safety squints.

It's late August. I don't think fall has occurred yet. Does this owner never open the hood of their car? I can imagine what it looks like under that windshield cowl. Fievel or two holes just loves this owner. I wonder what the HVAC smells like at full roar?

Why does Toyota, or any manufacturer make undercar shields from cheap steel? Especially ones that catch water.

Do the roads back there turn red from all the rust falling off 🤣

🖐🤙👍

Are heat shields available aftermarket or just from the dealership?

Did you take the old bolts out first

Was it truly necessary to replace it? Id just left it without one...

Doesn't the owner ever bother to raise the hood and see all of that trash by the wipers??

I think I would remove the old one and leave it.

Yeah, rust sucks, but I wouldn't live in Arizona.

Are these people to dam lazy to clean the leaves from under the hood ?…… lt seams that every vehicle that you work on is full of leaves . What gives?………

Is that a plastic gas tank.....protected by a thin cheap heat sheild.....does the manufacturer not watch your videos 🤣 if it is it would be a horrible design for flavor country 🤣
