Why do you have to put water not actual coolant that’s why your coolant reservoir looks like poopy water 😂
I already put concentrate in so I can add just some water to get closer to a 50/50 mix and yes sir it does look poopy 😂
bro has everything but is trying to fix wind noises
lol what?
@@SidewalkMechanicsI mean, you've shown multiple errors and only seem to care about the wind noise xD
Oh yeah that’s a common theme with me ignoring big problems but hyper focusing on small stuff haha 😅🤷
As a tip, it's best to jack up car in the rear so you can drain more ATF out.
The oil fill lid comes off that tube you took out, you took the fill lid off and the tube under it as well, you wouldn't have had to take the engine cover off to refill it
Anyone ever try sucking the oil out through the dipstick tube? My drainplug is stuck and ive mangled it badly trying to remove it. To avoid damaging the threads in the pan, im going to leave it alone for now. I have a pump and tubing similar to aquarium tubing size that i hope will snake past any difficult spots in the tube. This has been my first 3 hour and counting oil change. Ive never had a drain plug so stuck before and ive changed a lot of oil. Wish me luck!
Yes ! Super easy a lot of manufacturers are doing this way now. Just stick it down the dipstick tube and suck it dry!
Just like my nuts😂😂
This doesn't work
i vant find aux port in my car
Thank you! About to change oil for the first time! 🎉
How did you make out?
And of course you measured the amount of fluid that came out to make sure you put the same back in, right? I know, I know, you can measure it afterward. I would measure it and replace the same amount then check the level after all is done.
What's the difference? Check the dipstick before, check the dipstick after. If they match, you replaced the same amount you drained. You need to do this three times anyway to get the most complete fluid change, since you can't get it all out in one go.
w vid
I have that same car, sometimes when I'm driving that I'm in a traffic the alternator gives me a voltage of 11.50 volts it has happened to me some returns, I suspect that my alternator has a voltage drop on some occasions. And that can cause the engine to be unstable and shake in idle. But I'm not sure I should take the car to be diagnosed by the alternator.
Hello here again, I changed my alternator in a workshop of used alternators and with the engine on it marks 14.32 without loads in the car 🚘 but when I put a/c and lights go down to 13.87 at idle, when I have an hour on the road walking on my usb charger inside my car the voltage drops to 12.70 sometimes 13.0 v, I had a significant voltage drop from the alternator to the battery in the cables and I put a cable #4 direct from the alternator to the battery and the voltage increased in the car's electronic system to more than 14.0 but I still have the same problem I had with the old alternator I don't know what's going on, I will have to change the alternator again until I find the problem.
@@Peguerochannelyou have a drain somewhere
Do you have high electrical load? Like more than normal? Example a subwoofer or extra lighting? You may need an upgraded alternator or have poor connection
Sounds like the valves need adjusted
I'm a little late to the party, but I will be trying this tomorrow 😛
Tyre shops that tighten bolts with the air gun should be banned from the trade. MF
Lire I live in n j on Medicare it don’t work
Great Job, You made it easy for me. Thanks A+
Thanks
Ive got all 4 doors to do but i have the wagon so the front are like you did but the back i have to come in from the inside
How did it turn out
Did that lug nut had a spinning collar? I been working 2 days now trying to remove a 7/8 socket that is stuck on the spinning collar
bro mine has it HAHA i ended up welding the socket
Mr. Sidewalk, great video. Just one thing though. I have same year Impala. Important. Motor takes only four quarts exactly with new filter. Container you have has five quarts. Do not overfill. Trust me. Thanks.
I'm going to give it a try, I have a 99 Accord with 232,000 miles and the alt is bad, thank you for the vid
How to take the door only help
Does any one know exactly what screws are used to screw the duct down ? I need replacements and id appreciate if someone could help out 😅
Didnt finish the video yet but what size rotors are these, 245mm?
thanks for showing how to do the oil life, my 2008 cat vomit colored chevy impala with a spoiler and a possessed actuator that always comes back no matter how many times you rip apart the dashboard doesn't seem to know it got fresh oil and take 5 said they can't do it unless THEY were the ones to change it.
GREAT COMMENTARY!!!! THE LIL CURSING SETS IT OFF. IN A GOOD WAY!!👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you, great video
Did any other lights come on the dash? I had my alternator checked and was told it was good, but the battery light, SRS and all door light indicators on the dash light up here and there
I usually remove the handbrake cable, it is very easy to do
The fact Volkswagen makes lug nuts so difficult to take off is ridiculous! I mean if you lose (or never had one in the the first place), you are pretty much screwed (no pun intended)! I have a 2003 Jetta. I got a flat tire. I tried to change it myself, but couldn't get passed the wheel lock. Called AAA but they couldn't help when they came. I called a number of tire sales shops, but they said they couldn't help me either if I didn't have the key. Went to the dealership, but they say don't carry the key locks, and can't order them since my car is so old. WTF!?!?
Hello brother, can I ask? Were to find the transmission oil filter , I been looking for it but I could not find it. Can you help me?
Unfortunately it's an internal metal filter. You can't change it.
Bad ass kool. Piedras negras coah Mexico
que
I get it, my nuts aren’t ever coming apart either
Under the car where
The greatest #99hondaaccordex #99hondaaccordalternator #greatvideo most accurate video for a 1999 Honda accord ex 4 cylinder Very much appreciated!
thank you Mr. @nickpumpshotty
Is the process basically the same for rear door locks? In other words can these be removed/replaced without removing the inside panel?
yes they should be the similar procedure
Get the locking nuts off then throw them away!
yessss!
Is it the same with a 2007? Thank you 4 the video
yessir
Anyone have the tool list for this? 13 point 6mm Torx? T30, T20, and T25?
Do you remember what belt # you used to bypass the ac compressor?
shit I don't remember I'll look around and let ya know if I can find out
I'm looking for that part # too
@Tommy-vc2yq ok I'm pretty sure this is the one I used "Dayco 5060450"
thank you for the reply. I'll look into it. @@SidewalkMechanics
would this cause a weird window problem too?
if the rear window had trouble rolling up/down then probably you need a regulator
Instructions not clear i poured the trolli worms in and it didnt fix anything so i poured the soda to flush them out and now my car doesnt start
🤣🤣🤣 that should have worked 🤔
@@SidewalkMechanics Surprised you replied, i think this is the first time the videos creator responded to my nonsense lol, im just now realizing too i have nothing to dump the oil my brother has the pan we use
I am SO glad that I watched your video… I find it totally insane that you remove the outer door skin to service the door guts. I would have ruined the door fighting with the inner door panel.
yes it is a wierd one lol
Good vid! Thank you! Anyone knows where the transmission oil filter is located for this car? Mine is a 2001 Honda Accord.
I have a 1999 Honda Accord and I was told that the transmission filter is located inside of the transmission so you would have to break the transmission down some to get to it
I think the word “easy” might be wrong here.
yes the use of easy in the title is a bit ambiguous 🤕🤣
How many quarts of transmission oil you need to use to pour into that transmission???
Fkn german engineers
for real. I have an ‘08, I’ve taken to my euro mechanic bcuz I can’t be bothered to do these
@@relay6127don't buy it if you're not gonna put in the effort to take care of it properly
Do they charge anything to bring the old oil back
hi no I took it to advanced auto parts and there was no charge. walmart also does it free of charge
@@SidewalkMechanics And do you recycle the filter too or just toss in the garbage?
Great tutorial video with excellent visual and a little humor thrown in for good measure. I have decided to go ahead and attempt this job (same car and engine - 1999). Thanks!
hey awesome! it's not bad at all just follow along with the video and you should have it done in an afternoon!
You funny AF! More vids plz
lmao my man thanks I been slacking on vids I have to get back into it
