YOU are the man! I got the courage to do this myself and banged it all out in about 35 minutes... First time I ever really did something like this on any vehicle I owned, so I felt proud of myself. I ended up finding out that the NEW alternator that I put in was actually defective too, so I'll get even more practice unfortunately! 😆

Could be your AC compressor bearings, or your AC belt tensioner pulley, or even the belt itself could be too worn.

yeah I always have them test the refurbished alternators before I take them from the store and yesterday the only one they had in stock tested bad (another sign that is suspicious if its the last one) ESPECIALLY if it has any fingerprints AT ALL on it, like it might have been installed and uninstalled before.

I knocked a hose with a metal fitting off when putting the alternator in, that was directly below the alternator. A white gas started shooting out and when I tried to pop the hose in back in place, there was a pretty loud pop and the rest came out. Was not cold like freon, so not sure what it was.
@AutoFixYT

Unfortunately I have no idea what that could be. The only hose with a metal fitting there is for the AC and it would take a lot of force to break one of those.

Can the alterator nbe repaired meaning the bearing in the alternator pulley? Mean is making noise and i don't have the money to buy a new one, so can you take off the pulley of the alternator itself and replace the bearing??
@AutoFixYT
@AutoFixYT 10 месяцев назад
You can rebuild it, but you have to know what you're doing. The bearings aren't on the pulley. They're on the shaft inside of the alternator. One on the front of the case and one all the way on the back of the shaft. So the entire alternator needs to be taken apart for it. And if you don't have the proper tools for it, you won't be able to do it. So you'll either have to pay someone to do it, or buy a new one. And paying someone will probably cost just as much, if not more, than a new one. However, whatni would do if you don't have the money for a new one is go to a junkyard, or call a local one, and see if they have what you need. Go buy one from the junkyard and most likely it'll be ok. If you are able to go there yourself to take it out of the car, spin it by hand. If it's not making noise, you're good to go!

Please if you could do a video, or even if you write me a comment of how the fuel gauge works I would really appreciate it because I just got a Corolla like this and don't know if it is working correctly
@AutoFixYT
@AutoFixYT 2 года назад
The fuel gauge gets a signal from the fuel pump assembly, which has a little floater arm (just like the one in your toilet tank). The floater arm floats at the top of the fuel and at different levels it puts more or less resistance through the circuit. If your fuel gauge isn't working I would start at the sending unit (fuel pump assembly) and either replace it or test it. Take it out of the tank and measure the resistance across the wires from the floater. If it's 0 or some outrageous number, then you need a new one.

That is a typical power steering belt noise. If your belt is old, replace it and make sure you set the tension the belt properly. I have a video on how to replace all the belts on this car. Every accessory has a separate belt. Also, if your fluid is very old then you wanna replace that too and make sure you flush the system too. Hope this helps!

Yes, as long as it's the 7A-FE engine. The celica also had an option for the bigger 5S-FE which is actually found in Camrys. So either way you have other options.

Pick-n-Pull sells a extended warranty that you can renew every year. Definitely worth the six or seven dollars! I only got it for one year, but the alternator is 3 years old still doing fine. Genuine Toyota, not some rebuilt Chinese piece of crap! I would much rather gamble on an original Toyota used then a one-year guaranteed aftermarket piece of crap. My original one crapped out at 270,000. Probably because my battery was garbage! LOL 😹 Yeah, I knew my battery was bad. So I can't blame Toyota!
@AutoFixYT
@AutoFixYT Год назад
Wasn't going to comment but I decided to do so anyway and share my opinion on what you said because I think you had some good points. Yes, an original Toyota one is always the best. You can actually still buy Denso ones. Not easy to find but they're still out there. Also, very expensive. The only downside with a junkyard one is because it's not new, you don't know it's history. You don't know how much life it has left in it. So yes it's cheaper but it might only last you a few tens of thousands of miles. Not hundreds of thousands. Regardless... AutoZone and Advance Auto have lifetime warranties on their parts. So if you buy their in house brand (yes I know it's a Chinese remanufactured one) they will replace it for free any any time if it fails. And to be fair the only thing they do on reman alternators is clean them up, put in new brushes, bearings, and maybe a couple other wearable items and that's it. So in the end they're not too too bad. But if you're going for maximum money saving, junkyard is always your best bet for sure.

Hey so I have a base model 95 Corolla with the 1.6L and 3sp automatic. Can I replace the cluster gauge to have a tachometer as well? Like is there already a hookup for it? Also where do you source parts? I’m looking for a clock that came with the non base model as well as a cover for the inside cabin light
@AutoFixYT
@AutoFixYT 2 года назад
So for the cluster... I'm not sure. I think there could be a wire already included for the tach in the main cluster harness, but I have also heard that there isn't one and you have to add it in, which is not easy... but I think there is something there. The best way is to go to the junkyard and find a cluster that you want, buy it, and also take the connectors with as much of the harness as you can. Then compare to what you have and see if anything is missing. This won't be easy but I'm sure with enough patience you can figure it out. Do some digging online on forums too, that might help. As for the parts, I would suggest going to a junkyard for the parts that you need. Find a junkyard that has a Corolla that has what you need and take all the parts you want. Then swap them I to yours. Hope this helps!
