Haven't tried it on a "modern" car with a serpentine belt, but I have done it on an older vehicle (1972 Ford F-250) when I lost the Alternator belt... kept the alternator turning to keep the battery charged so I could get home with headlights on at night.

@senseitbk Год назад

This was quite popular roadside fix in fiat 126 in Poland

@anatolklops Год назад

8:50 This method works, and allows you to cover even a long distance, but it only works on older vehicles where a V-belt is used, not a serpentine belt. Only the V-belt pulleys provide enough wall to keep such tights from falling off. They do not provide a perfect power transmission, but are only used to wrap around essential pulleys, e.g. from the water pump and alternator / generator and such a trick allows you to return home from the route, even despite the considerable distance.

@stevestubner535 Год назад

@kentworch Год назад

The egg hack actually does work for a small leak, but you have to leave the engine running. Also, the tobacco one does as well if done correctly. You have to go behind and give it a second wipe with a clean cloth to get rid of the haze. The tar from the tobacco is what makes that work, but it has to be wiped well.

Farmer to radiator: Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?

@christiankirkenes5922 Год назад

I used to live in the actual bush (outback Australia) and I've used eggs before to fix a radiator. I've also used ground pepper and chewing gum and all three worked. The stocking trick also works, but I think modern stocking are made too stretchy. I've seen it done 30 years ago and it worked too keep an alternator running. Good video guys, I got a few laughs.

I can assure you the "egg-hack" for leaky radiators is *not* hogwash. I used this trick on an old Audi when it started leaking from a corroded area on the radiator that had turned into an array of tiny sprinkler holes. You need to add not just one egg, you go ahead and drop half a dozen eggs into the cooling system, slowly one by one while the engine is running. I actually drove the old Audi for another month like this until I had an opportunity to swap the radiator for a new one. Yes, there was a little bit of a mess to clean up, but that was mostly solved by running clean water and flushing the system twice.

Synthetic oils are commonly not synthetic at all you know, they just use additives to give it a certain specification needed to call it "synthetic". In reality you don't need to remove the rust, you want to bind with it to create something that prevents it from rusting further and any used engine oil contains fairly high amounts of carbon which achieves that.

Thanks for testing these! But the ones you called hogwash had some issues with the testing setup. The leak was HUGE to try to repair with an egg. In the rainex one, you used dip and not chewing tobacco in the sock, and the pantyhose belt was something that came about when there were only three pulleys the belt had to turn, and you should probably make it tighter by loosing the tensioner pulley and not just that tie it as tight as you can by hand. Cool video, nonetheless!

I was gonna say the same thing! That’s no chewing tobacco that’s dip! But anyone that doesn’t use the two doesn’t know the difference

Honestly, just any kind of tobacco works with the chewing tobacco one. even with rainex you have to be driving so that the wind over the windshield pushes the water up, same with tobacco. it works bc of nonpolar waxes that are naturally in the tobacco making a hydrophobic film over the glass, I assume. idk but I did it once and it worked okay. better than nothing, that is for sure.

For rust removal, I learned a blacksmiths trick where you use electrolysis and vinegar to remove rust. Just hook up the negative terminal of a car battery to the rusty tool and positive side to a metal rod. Submerge both into a vinegar bath with a few inches of separation and watch the fizzles destroy the rust. Just be safe and wear insulated rubber gloves and boots. After a few hours to 24 hours, you can wipe the rust away with one of those green scratch pads. But steel wool works best.
