Glad I found this video, Im having the same noise/vibration only when turning left at high speeds. I'm thinking it's the passenger front. Was it clear that yours was the rear or did it sound like it was coming from the front?

I ran into this issue because I spend almost as much on batteries as on gas (4 double-A batteries a week, $20/month). My gas bill hovers around ~ $ $30, but keep in mind that gas usage includes the furnace and cooking stove. This is absolutely a no-brainer, both financially and practically. Thanks for the straightforward and adaptable information!

I’ve owned the 2017, 2020, and 2021 Bolt EVs and currently drive a 2023 model. Exploring destinations like Yosemite, Lake Tahoe, Kings Canyon National Park, Highway 1 along the Pacific Ocean, and Redwood National Park has been incredibly enjoyable with the Bolt EV. Its power, handling, and regenerative braking make it perfect for both uphill climbs and downhill drives. I also own a 2024 Toyota bZ4X, but it’s not as fun to drive compared to the Bolt EV. I have been driving EVs for 10 years by the way. Bolt EVs are exceptionally efficient and reliable, though the seats in the 2017-2021 models weren’t very comfortable for me. If you’re considering one, I’d highly recommend a good used Bolt EV Premier for its added safety features.

Crazy and Deadly to do at home especially without multiple jack stands. Pay someone with a hoist. Don't risk your life.

Game changer! Thank you so much!!!

What ramp is that? Does that work with the car on msport suspension and a front splitter, or won’t i get the car on there?

Just bought one yesterday. Waiting for it to arrive. I can't wait. It will be my 1st EV.

Chevy …lies to people…. The battery very very good….but because the ev cars makes fuel cars sales got down they do that

I just read the manual to verify and I also have a CX-5 turbo. It says verbatim; - Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface. - Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. - Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the oil pan. - Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully. - Pull it out again and examine the level. - The level is normal if it is between the MIN and MAX marks. - If it is near or below MIN, add enough oil to bring the level to MAX.

Does the manual say to warm up the vehicle before you check the oil level? Fluid expands when it heats up and lots of car manuals say the engine needs to be running and then shut off for a few minutes to cool down to a certain temp. Then you would measure your oil.

Changed this gasket twice, first one unknown brand and had a small weep from the lower edge, ill fitting gasket. Replaced with an Elring brand gasket that was better quality and added some blue hylomar gasket sealant in the recess where the gasket sits. So far no leaks have returned.

Thanks James. Very helpful 👌

Most engines can take like half a quart extra no problem, you always have wiggle room. Just don’t under fill so you are protecting your engine.

Had an oil starvation problem Knocking bottom end. big end bearing on piston 3 Bought a low milage engine out of a crashed one Put on new oil pump water pump belts n so on Been great since Stripped old engine got away with just a crank polish n rebuild whole thing using mahle rings . kings bearings . victor rainze head gasket bolts and stem seals. Sold 5 mins after putting it online. Took a warped head one in exchange. Ive done 16 in last 3 mths The eco boom is my main income now my well paid job is out done by the demand so i love fords crap engines..... boom boom boom 😂😂😂 Easy n cheap to rebuild and getting a great deal from local machine shop no vat with cash

If you have not purchased a DC 24 Converter, would a common door bell transformer work fine? They are typically 110v to 24V AC.........

No substitute for heat on those stuck bolts !!

You can use a C clamp for bead breaker. Shinko 705 are my favorite KLR tire. Nothing wrong with the 244 tho!

I would have fixed it , and revamped the bike ,but that is just me !

I Recently lost my klr650 in the 10 Highway in the Arizona but I recommend the 16th upgrade and the Do hagie tensioner. An the bypass for the Coolant

Shame the initial fault wasn’t sorted, that engine probably had a good few more miles left in her.

you can check the trans fluid, mine you can, i I,ve done it its easy.

Which thermostat model?

Hi James, can you tell me if I can use the same gen motor as yours but in a Max30P that has a controller with ring terminals instead of plastic clips. I'm told I have a Gen 3 controller, I plan to cut off the motor's clips and replace with ring terminals & heat shrink tubing. I'm a handicapped pensioner and this is my about the only hobby I can sort of afford. I'm seriously considering returning the motor and saving for a Refurbished/Out of Box Max G30P as I find myself too heavily invested in Max30 upgrades such as front & rear suspension to walk away.

Just got a 2017 with a 2yr old battery for 12k, no complaints in general, retired here and just do not do a ton of driving. Put up a 3kw solar gas station to trickle dharge it....got 240v 16amp charger ordered for next week, 120v 12amp is pretty slow, same rate my solar will use.

Thank you for your warning; I despise unscrupulous merchants like the one you mentioned @04:07 in your video. However, a law called the Fair Credit Billing Act in the United States was enacted in 1974. Generally, it protects consumers against incidents like the one with your purchase of the damaged item. Buyers should be aware that there is a difference in how one pays for goods and services. Should you choose to pay in cash, by check, or by debit card (using one's PIN), you are at the total mercy of the merchant (also dependent upon state/local laws) should the item(s) you buy turn(s) out to be Lemon, not what was promised, or is not delivered as previously agreed by contract. In fact, did you know that certain receipts are considered "contracts" between you and the merchant? Especially if a return/refund policy is printed on the receipt. However, if bought with a credit card, and you follow the stipulations outlined on the back of your statement, you may not be obligated to pay for any or all of the purchased item(s) provided that you attempt "in good faith" to resolve the issue with the merchant. You must check other boxes to ensure your right to a refund or replacement, so read your credit card statement carefully. In short, if you have yet to have previous assurance when dealing with a new merchant, especially a high-dollar item, always pay by credit card.

For future ref....you need to unbolt the actuator with a 10mm wrench(2 or 3 bolts depending on the model)and remove the unit. Then slide the clip in and hold it in place while you put the actuator unit back in place. Great vid though.

I’m looking into buying 2012 528xi all wheel drive With 101000k miles Owner just had timing chain job done at 97000k miles it was good shop in town with 3 year warranty don’t think this is good buy

Wow...I usually do most things like oil change, brakes, suspension arms, and etc but I hate doing wheel bearings and it cost me $700 CAD for E90 BMW rear bearing by a mechanic...maybe I will tackle wheel bearing next time myself...

Which grade oil should I use?

You get 430km highway? At what speed?

Thanks from Texas

Chevy charged me $30 to rotate tires, never again. Many people use non EV tires, typically better traction, lower efficiency (range) lower cost

Mine is doing the same thing and Segway thinks I'm a repair shop too.

We've had a 2023 EUV for a few months here, and just added a 2020 EV to our household, and I need to get used to the differences. Only problem I've had with L mode is it doesn't like to go very fast, we picked it up in the KCMO area, and the freeways over there are 70MPH, and it really didn't want to go that fast in L, but I expect it'll be fine for me doing deliveries as that's all 25 to 40MPH driving. Oh, and one pedal is easy to use if'n you're experienced with stick, it's not quite the same, but the learning curve from engine braking to one pedal driving is very small.

What three cylinder engine like that is GDI

I have same Auto bmw f30 328ix 2015 n20 engine at 180,000 kms and no timing chain changed. Always changed the oil at 6k interval and is silky smooth.

Useing stock gearing? I went to the 16t on my 09 and seems to get the revs down in a more happy range at 120

great video and thank you

What’s the name of the clippy tool used to remove the clips of the oil pan cover? I might just try using a flat head. And also just try to do it on level ground

Bought a 2020 Premier in July. Although I'm still in 80% jail today, it's been totally sufficient for what I need. Being a used car, it comes with some scratches on the cheap interior panels and there's a door ding or two on the passenger side, but still looks pretty good overall. Hoping it survives the next few years without any issues.

I was able to get the bolt out but lines are crazy stuck. Any tips?

It would be funnier if you named it White Thunder. First actual EV since Chevy Spark EV

How bad?

I have had my 2020 bolt for five months now. love it! its my first EV. My daily drive is like 8 miles a day its purfect. I can change the radio station on the left side of the steeringwheel volume on the right

...how did u pull those wires apart. Mine won't budge even with pliers

You may have a career in youtubing....well done & entertaining. I have the same problem. Thx.

What did you tighten at the very end??

Great reasoning about simply buying and using a trailer with whatever vehicle you have, rather than buying a big truck and then struggling with the limited bed space and the extreme height of the truck bed. I'm considering buying a trailer hitch for my honda accord and picking up one of these trailers for most of my hauling needs.

I agree with everything. I test drove a '18 Leaf, then a few weeks later a '17 Bolt and a '22 Bolt EV, and the same day sealed the deal on the '22. That was a month ago, and this is now our workhorse. Mostly it's just me or my wife, sometimes with a kid for a school run, but we're comfortably fitted all four of us in with four recyclable bags of shopping in the trunk. Our old workhorse was a 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan, and I had an '07 Mazda 3 as an alternate, which we traded in for a tiny $700 discount on the Bolt. My wife refused to drive or most times ride in the Mazda except in dire need, it was noisy and she had a knack of stalling it one Summer which put her off. We still have the Honda as our second vehicle, but it only gets a run once a week. You didn't mention how quiet it is, maybe because you're had an EV before, but they had to add a spaceship sound to it at lower speeds to alert pedestrians. If my wife is asleep and I want to go for an early drive I can take this out and come back, and not wake her. If they just put faster charging in this it would be all the car most people need, but I think they deliberately kept it low or nobody would be buying their Equinox and Blazer EVs. We have solar panels, and grid electricity costs 10c all day and night for us, so it's very cheap to run at 4 miles/kWh on average. I reckon I'll get that a lot higher in warmer weather. In comparison our van gets 19 mph around town on a good day.

2021 models were notorious for burning oil from the exhaust valve stem seals.
