How to spin those wheels
Spinning the wheels on the lift whenever it might be needed for checking different things is not so simple on modern vehicles. If any single wheel is not spinning easily (typically, because of the slight brake drag) the traction control and stability control systems would engage "thinking" that there is a situation of loss of traction. AWD systems make it even worse in most cases because of the AWD system also trying to control torque transfer to the wheels.
Therefore, ABS/Traction/Stability control systems must be disabled one way or another. Sometimes there is a switch to turn it off, but only sometimes. On this occasion, I located and removed ABS module power supply fuse. Although there might be also other methods available, this one was just the quickest for me to figure out on that day.

Catastrophic wheel bearing failure
Переглядів 4,6 тис.2 роки тому
The wheel is not going to fall off if the wheel bearing fails. Well, in most cases, it won't. But the damage to brake rotor, brake caliper and other parts is guaranteed, as well as the towing bill. All this is on top of the wheel bearing replacement cost. There are no savings in delaying necessary repairs!

Replacing brake pads and rotors is one of the simplest jobs in this trade. It is amazing though how many people are doing it poorly, causing various subsequent issues and troubles. There are some simple but important practices to follow to get every brake job done perfectly.

Toyota Venza rear knuckle replacement
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 роки тому
Replacing rear knuckle (axle carrier in Toyota terminology) in 2014 Toyota Venza. Knuckle replacement was needed because one of the bushings (joints) developed a play resulting in annoying knocking noise when driving. This noise is very similar in nature to the noise that would be coming from the bad struts and therefore could be easily confused, especially if the struts are leaking (which is a...

Fix or repair daily.
Most engine builders will tell you thread locker doesn't belong in an engine.
Страшное дело у меня на поджера так было
U can buy bushing seperate. Check e bay
leak? that is a jet spray!
Is that why it misfires ???
Do I need to wait 24 hours until thread lock is dry to start the engine?
I have this exact noise on my cruze but its a 1.8L so i dont have that part under the valve cover sadly
Not only the video is a great help but you made it better with the final comparison. Thanks
the rattle isnt as loud for me, but could this make the oil pressure light/sound activate? I just went twice to the mecanich and message still pops up when im idle after rolling a bit, but goes away as soon i press the gaa
Same issue
Useless video 😂
I have Chevy Malibu and got get that sounds like one click for one minute. That sound disappeared after one minute, What is the problem??
Hi bro i need to know what size was the bolt head for the guide. Was it the same as valve cover (e10) ?
You saved me more money ..I just paid a shop $300 to replace the knock sensor because this problem kept triggering the P0324 code... Tore off the valve cover today and sure enough the timing chain guide was loose.. After cleaning the bolt holes and bolts and torquing it down to 71 inch lbs with lock tight on the treads... But, When torquing down the valve cover I snapped the #1 sequence bolt trying to torque it down to 74 inch lbs... I put some RTV silicone under the top and over it.. I also put a little bead along the gasket area of the broken bolt .. The car runs so much quieter and better..But, was throwing out oil from the broken bolt...So, hoping the rtv does the trick . Again, thanks for the video... Without it I would have probably spent who knows how much more money....
Get a time machine and tell the morons to change the oil. Fixed it.
Mine only makes that noise on start up then slowly goes away. Could it be anything else?
Bought the car and the timing chain was broken so replaced it and all, but does that noise on start up
Thanks for the video,I am in the process of doing both of the rear knuckles,most of the bolts are sized in there,so it's a pain ,the knuckles can be found on e bay complete with bushings
That is 1,8 liter engine guys Mine is doing same noise exactly,don’t know how to repair it ,mechanic just asked me 1000€
These cars can be complete headaches
What was it you were putting into the holes after before you put the cover back on?
This is great to know and you’re Canadian to boot. Do you have a video on the PVC bypass system that several places sell. Hope there’s a source for that kit in Canada. Beats changing the valve cover out every couple years.
Great video, I can’t thank you enough!
Cant get that 2:35 back!
Awsume video ive been looking for this long time, the first bolt i began unscrew snapped off lol howto remove the lit now is stucked cant remove it, ty for the nice video though
Gm ripped everyone off with these motors ! I have a different Cruze in the shop every week replacing parts
So I'm going thru it Im pretty sure it getting air into ur powersteeriñg line most cases it's the seal on the line is messed up least what I've learned is the problem
Dude you are a lifesaver. Thank you. I have been chasing this for a month. Heading out to do it now. GM should have issued a service bulletin for bolts being used with no secondary retention feature from the factory. They could have added this to the service needed with the intake manifold, valve cover and PCV all blow out. If I had known I would have retorqued wtih thread lock when I put the Dorman fix it. Dorman redesign is awesome BTW. No issues on valve cover and intake manifold. 35K on those parts so far.
perfect video!
What a life saver. Thanks for the upload brudda
Would you need to drain the oil to do this job?
No. You can see that the oil is at normal levels throughout the whole process when he checks the dipstick at the end
Thanks so much for this. I followed your video and was able to complete the job in my driveway. Very clear and easy to follow instructions. I got lucky with the ABS sensor and was able to remove it. My tip there is to disassemble until you can access the sensor port from the inside of the knuckle and soak it from both sides with penetrating oil. Was not so lucky with the bolts as I did have to cut them just as you indicated. Love your accent by the way.
How did you fix that??
Lol😂.. it came lose because the oil pressure tensioner at the bottom of the engine is leaking oil. You can hear your valves cherp.. timing is off. Fix your timing chain.
Thanks. That was very informative. I like the way you clearly explain the different steps.
Apparently Ford's around this time just love to do this. Happens on my '05 Taurus, and cant figure out where the air is leaking in from.
Did you figure out yet
same 07 taurus
Low pressure line or o rings/gasket on low pressure side. Only place that would be sucking air reachable to the reservoir
One of my bolts were broken on the upper timing chain guide. No stores have the bolts and doesn’t come with the guide. Anyone know the bolt size? Or know where I can get them? Not on gm direct, gm or other sites I’ve checked.
Get the other bolt and go to a hardware store youll find it
LETS GO FIXED MINE TODAY!!! NOISE IS GONE!!!GOOD ASS VIDEO!!!…My bolts were so loose that I could unscrew them with my hands
Are theese engines just noisy engines to begin with
Yes they are, but this issue is 2x minimum. You know when this happens. Loss of power with no SEL caused by vibes being picked up by knock sensor due to lifter noise then retards spark with no SEL. Computer doing its job.
I've had this problem for 4 years on my car, turns out the timing chain upper guide was not only broken where the housing screws were, but the top guide was 30% snapped off! $8 later and I'm in tears of joy without a check engine light that's been on for 4 years! Hopefully now it's better! Thank you for showing this, considering I've had so many mechanics stumped on this!
Hi, do you know your engine light code? I am having the same problem and would like to try and follow the instruction in this video.
@@curious_cat1099 I've had P0011, P0015, P0016 and P0017 not to mention a few others.
At the end of the video it sounds like the engine is ticking is that normal ? I have something like that going on and I'm just worried it's some sort of knock
Can't say without hearing your engine, but a lot of modern cars (especially these Cruzes) make a lot of injector noise. To me it almost sounds like a click/tap like some tapping a whiteboard with their fingernails. It's normal operation, the noise is due to the high pressure the fuel injectors operate at: vehicles these days can have pressures as high as 3000 PSI. Although it could be something else, it is likely just the injectors operating normally.
Purge solenoid
You sir are a lifesaver
Hi ! Did you get check engine light code p0017 ?
I did this and it still sounds the same
Hope this works for me... just helping a guy that has the same sound. Thanks for the video.👊🇺🇲
Worked?
@@sparkzz5367 nope he had a different motor. We got under the valve cover and it was just different. Thanks for the video though! ✌️👍
What the hell? There is nothing in this video.
My 2014 Cruze was clattering like an old school diesel, with uneven acceleration. My mechanic said the noise was a problem deep in the engine, too much trouble to repair, and to drive it until it dies. I followed your advice instead, plus swapped in a new valve cover & gasket (to avoid the known PVC vacuum leak problem with this engine) and spark plugs (at about 100,000 kms it's time). Yes, the chain guide was loose. Now the clatter is gone, acceleration is as smooth as a baby's cheek. Thank you.
Yep they always want to replace engines because it keeps them out of trouble. I was a long time mechanic so I know this
Just to be honest here, there was still about a 80% chance your mechanic was correct. You just got really lucky.
I had the exact same problem! Been chasing that noise and power reduction for months and multiple mechanics told me there was nothing wrong. Took it upon myself to fix it and found the same issue you displayed. Really appreciate the noise comparison at the end, it's super useful!
Ditto!!
Is this solve oil drping under the engine
There is no need to remove the rear seat to disconnect those abs sensors. If you're replacing them, cut them, and disconnect it from the plug via the long vertical panels next to the seat. When reinstalling the new ones, pry open the rear plastic panels behind the seat so you can push the abs cable foward to be able to reconnect. Did this last week. I believe removing the rear seat completely is a waste of time.
Not replacing them - too expensive 🙂
geeze..use locktite BLUE Not Red...you will thank me if you ever need to remove that again!
No, thnak you but no. If I WILL need to remove it I can do it easily by heating the bolts, I wouldn't even need to use that much heat. Actually, I never even had to use heat removing the fasteners I had previously installed on this red threadlock, it is not as "permanent" as it claims to be.
Little heat goes a long way
