Replacing the head gasket on my very high mileage 2009 Toyota Prius. Easy and cheap DIY.
Переглядів 12114 годин тому
Replacing the head gasket on my 426k miles is not really a difficult job. It's time consuming since I have to do it very slow and trying to arrange the parts where they should go. Lots of bolts, brackets and wiring to move around. The head gasket, new bolts and washer and water pump gasket are all $49 (shipping included) from RockAuto. If this fails a replacement motor will be in the future pla...
426k miles Prius overheating because of a small head gasket leak got worse when pressure testing
Переглядів 62День тому
The issue is that the head gasket leak is a small one, it will take several trips to accumulate combustion gases in the coolant and initial tests showed no head gasket symptoms. No white smoke at the tail pipe, no misfire in the morning.. just coolant loss over time and coolant not going back into the radiator from the reservoir. blown head gasket symptoms on a Prius

Have to squeeze the pump repeatedly to fill up my 2008 Jeep Patriot. The issue is the charcoal canister, it needed replacement. The replacement is easy and is very accessible.

Cheapest and easiest way to polish oxidized headlights on my Prius and other cars

I tried this Cerakote headlight polishing kit from Walmart which is only $16 (very cheap) and have very good reviews. I've tried Sylvannia and it's also very good but it's $10 more and requires a little bit more of work. This Cerakote headlight polishing kit is very simple to use and can be used on 2 cars (although it's only for 1 car) cheap and easy way to restore headlights

How are you able to tell which O2 sensor is the faulty one?
the code will be unique for each O2 sensors
Toyota did my car for 6000
works for 2011 xc90
So just pulling random fuses and wires....a lot of "I don't knows" going on. Maybe you should "know " what you're doing and maybe your car wouldn't be breaking down. This Def is a "user malfunction " rather than a mechanical one. Ignorance is bliss.
Why no tips of how to compress caliper pistons etc and why whispering the whole time
I don’t want to see parts replacement videos. I want to see repair and results.
Such a useless video!
What about 2003 2.4 kia optima
Where to purchase vent pipe one ?
what year is this xc90?
2007
Typical FoMoCo.
Thank you. The job is much easier to use a long 7/8 box end wrench to remove the sensor. Pop the clip off and it fits perfectly through the box end side. Ive found that there is much less chance of stripping the bolt this was as opposed to using the socket
did you have catalytic converter codes from the broken pipe?
How did this new part fit? Debating ordering one for mine
Does the car vibrate? Mine something weird happed..I know i had to change my bad front struts but i didn't. I was driving slow and hit a bad uneven street surface on nyc then my car suddenly drives different. Its like i have a muffler job done on my car i can feel every vibration from the engine. When i press gas its not as smooth and powerful as it used to be. Its driving as if its almost in safe mode. No regular mechanic can find the issue or see an issue. Few days late i get code 2A31 i just clear it with my protool and comes back a week or so later. Last time i cleared it was last week and still driving daily since. No issues with start except now that after hitting this pothole i feel as if i have a loud muffler installed. I dont lol This has been since a month ago. I also have code 2A00 comes every other day. I don't know any good mechanic. What do you think the vibration and losing some power but still driving only you notice it while on slow driving or stop and go
Thank you
Thank you!

You did not say anything about removing the fan shroud to give more room to wrench.
I mentioned it at 0:11 if you're paying attention..
Not a good video at all cant hear you sounds like you have a mouth full of shit you move your camera so fast and point so fast a person is not able to focus in on what your pointing at was no hell st all.

This job looks like a huge pain in the rear
it is, took me the whole weekend..
It’s hard for me to see what you are doing. The camera keeps going in different spots. What did you actually release?
Hello- Good video, did this solve the problem?
yes, pump only clicks when it's full
Definitely don't understand how you can get the proper level set. Did you have the front of the car elevated? Doubt it was level if you can crawl underneath with the rear wheels on the ground. Fluid needs to be at the proper temperature, but the car also needs to be LEVEL. You likely don't have the proper amount of fluid in there.
there's enough room to screw back the small torx bolt in the pan. You don't need to elevate the front. I use a scan tool to check the trans temp. PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO COMPLETELY BEFORE COMMENTING!
@@highmilesgarage9131 So I want to ask you a question. I need to add some fluid because it seems low on fluid and it has 160k miles on it and I have no idea if it has had any oil change before, therefore, I prefer not to change the entire oil and just add some. How would I know if I got the correct level? With only the temperature? Thanks.
@@mohamedessam6891 you need a scan tool that show the ATF temperature or the handheld temperature device from Harbor Freight. Let the vehicle run while parked until the ATF temp is 50 C and. 60 C then remove the small torx bolt under the transmission pan.. if it's not dripping (small drip) then you're low, need to add..
@@highmilesgarage9131thanks. Another question, now whenever I move the gear shifter into manual mode it only steps up in the gear but not down. Meaning that I can go to 2nd and 3rd gear but whenever I try to go down on the gear it won’t do it. Is that a problem with the transmission or the shifter itself or what do you think?
@@mohamedessam6891 not really sure if it's an issue with the gear.shifter but when I did mine, I was able to go up and down but I think it can go up only at 3rd
thank you!
Just want to say that i didn't have to take the entire bumper cover off.. only the top and sides. I put a bucket under it in the front middle and let it hang forward. Took maybe hour and half.
getting a code P0016 consistenly, previous owner don't do proper oil change regularly.. it's currently at 270k miles and have to replace the HV battery twice.
Why did you replace? Were you getting a code or a noise?
Bro you saved me at work thank you so much !!!!!! I have an 2007 530xi
Thanks so much for this video. Bought a Taurus from someone who did a terrible water pump replacement and sold it to me with this exact issue. Your video was very informative and helpful in helping me resolve the matter.
I can't hear a word you're saying

Mix water and dish soap together in a spray bottle. Spray down in the crack between the tire and rim before you start trying to break the bead. I also spray the tire bead before I put it on the rim. This helps it to pop out on the rim when you air it up. Thanks for sharing the video. Have a good day
did you ground stereo to wire harness or to the car ?
it looks to me like the Maguires cleaner worked, because it removed dirt, but in streaks because you let it run down the seat.. when you wiped it off, it apparently cleaned where it ran down the seat..
Good job thanks for all the tips to remove
Thank you big man
