Audi A8 D4 Serpentine Belt Replacement
Переглядів 18 тис.5 років тому
Replacing the serpentine belt on my 2012 A8. Not the best angle or lighting. This year A8 has more room between the engine and cooling fans than other models and I'm pretty sure this could be done from the top.

GMC Jimmy Evap Purge Solenoid P0446 Hard Start After Refueling
Переглядів 72 тис.6 років тому
Replaced the evap purge solenoid on a 2003 Jimmy. Very similar to Chevy Blazer or S10 with the 4.3L. The hard to start after refueling issue was fixed after changing the purge solenoid. Updated Sept 8: Turns out the fuel tank pressure sensor was also bad (stuck at .2 V) which was another issues causing this code. I was able to reach the pressure sensor by dropping the tank a few inches rather t...

Chrysler 300C blind spot sensor failure
I looked everywhere for the fill plug on my 2005 Chevy equinox rear differential all I found was a drain plug ?
I also thought it was a drain hole! Thank you for the video, very helpful!
Great video thanks
Thx.
Will service blind spot radar sensor stop 300 from cranking? I’m not getting any codes besides that and my can won’t crank
What about a vw beetle 1999! No horn, headlight, or wiper blades
There is no space on w202 c43
Many thanks from here in the UK Just in the midst of calipers,rotors etc on our 85 chevy motorhome based on that chassis. Thanks for the hard work
Thanks for sharing this ,very helpful
Where did you find that info about the gearbox? Is it a service/repair manual that you can buy online? Thanks
Yep got it from eManualOnline
I have done many rear brakes on these vehicles, but never replaced front rotors. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you f ro sharing. Any idea where i can buy a set of these dust protection shields?
hi the part numbers are in the description. at the time of this video they were only available from the dealer, should be able to get aftermarket now
@mikesgarage1518 front rear and center same fluid to be used? and what quantity?. does sports differential use different fluids? which is sports differential location. I have sports differential. pl explain transfer case and differential. thank you
The combined/separate transfer case and front differential oiling is discussed at the 1 min mark and the part number for the fluid I used is in the description for all 3 videos. I have no knowledge of the sports differential, I would suggest calling a dealer however I would assume only the rear is a sports differential but not sure.
thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I set out to change the same rotors and could not figure out how to get them off. The screwdriver in the hole is genius. I could not figure out that access. Thanks again and very professionaly done. God bless.
Thank you for doing this
Hey Mike how the Audi a8 doing?
it's doing ok thanks, nothing major so far
It Helps me i have the same problem with the identical car .. Thank's Man you are a very good Mechanic ! Thumb's Up🎉
Where is this differential located? I looked at my 2011 Terrain 2.4L and I'm not seeing it???!
This is for the AWD version. I just updated the description.
@@mikesgarage1518 oh, okay
Thanks so much, as a widow & no males around, my daughter is going to try to help me to replace it. Wish us luck, your instructions seem easy to follow.
Thanks for the video ! so my 2013 A8L with the 4.0TT uses common oiling...can I just do the same procedure and add the proper oil type ? or the draining/adding oil works differently on my combined system than the separate one ?
Not sure as I have never done the common oiling one before
Hey Mike question , I have 00’ e320 I was driving it perfectly fine then tried to turn it on. Key goes in and all lights turn but won’t start , I guess the crank no start issue but if I try to force the start fast it turns on but dies immediately , any thoughts ? Or will it be the sensor like you said
Are you able to see any crank sensor codes? Could be something else, maybe check fuel pressure? If fuel pressure is ok, might be worth swapping the sensor to rule it out.
@@mikesgarage1518 okay will do & keep you updated thank you
We're about to tackle front rotor tomorrow and this video is really really helpful.thank you
Thanks for the help. Greatly appreciated
Berak lose first then easy job
I’ve done two axle seals now in 6 months. Part of that had a stuuuupid attack and mud bogged it. Think ima change fluid. Good video short sweat simple.
which engine is this? diesel or gas
4.2L gas
I can’t for THE LIFE OF ME find ANY brake parts online for my 1978 Silverado C30 camper special edition (454 V8) anywhere! Any recommendations?
I got all my parts from RockAuto for this truck, should be able to find your parts there.
@@mikesgarage1518 dude you’re the man!
Thanks for this video makes the maintenance easier with ideas one will run into.🔧
Hi Mike, thanks for excellent DIY videos! Do you know if a 2010 A8 D4 with 4.2TDI engine has shared or separate transfer case and front diff?
Sorry no idea on that model with the TDI
@@mikesgarage1518 Apparently the 4.2TDI has always the sport diff, so I guess they're separate.
It looks like everything under my 2016 equinox it covered up with protective coverings. I cant access much including the rear differential. Is that standard? Can these be removed? Is it difficult to do so?
I have not worked on a 2016 yet so no idea. My 2014 had no coverings in the rear.
So they don’t recommend to pre load the bearings on the c/g series 1tons? Good to know because normally you’d preload and back off
Thank you for this video. That little 'peep' hole is what REALLY helped me out. I can't believe I didn't see that hole.
Axle bolt- loosen with the wheel on the ground. Because you can do it another way doesn’t mean you should.
Thanks from Ukraine! The video was usefull.
Just ordered the same lift. Do you remember where in Canada you ordered the race ramps from ? I'll likely be looking for the same ramps! Thanks!
I got this from Amazon.ca back in 2016
@@mikesgarage1518 Thanks, if you have a second, can you check? It's possible to go back in your orders and find it. My amazon will let me go back to 2010 . I really would like to order it!!! (I'm in Canada too!)
I got a question I checked my transmission oil and it needed some but I put some while it was running is that bad? I have a Jimmy GMC 03'
245000 miles on my 2014 equinox. Original rear shicks. Have replaced both front strut assemblies Wow. 1 year since last reply. Why did this show up in my recommendations.....
Thank you for the video. Im doing this to 05 Optima. Backing plates totally eaten away. Lousy metal. Had to buy oem as aftermarket not offered. Repainted with high temp ceramic paint for extra rust protection.
Good jop and good songs too
Is see there was some welding done on the exhaust pipes. Did you replace the just the flex areas? If so, where did you get those peices and are you happy with the results? Thinking if should go with the pipe from Audi that has the flex built into it or just cut out and replace just the flex. Thanks in advance
Yes, they were leaking badly so I replaced the just the flex joints. I was going to make a video on it but my welding is pretty crappy so did not make one. So far the repair is held up for a few years, might use the Audi ones if it fails again.
@@mikesgarage1518 thanks for the reply! Did you use some specific brand ones or just any brand flex pieces that diameter should work? Did you get stainless ones by chance?
@@jakeb9520 No specific brand, just one that had the correct diameter and stainless
@@mikesgarage1518 awesome thanks!
So my buddy just had. Catastrophic front diff explosion in his 1 ton axle swapped truck. Said he hadn't checked or changed his fluid in 3 years since the build..I laughed...then, I realized I hadn't checked mine since I installed my engine 6 years ago...got sonething to do tonight! Worst part- I just did hubs, 14pc front end kit and axles about 2 weeks ago...was RIGHT THERE!!! "I'll do it in a second, I'll do it in a second...truck was back together...I'll do it tomoro..WELL, this was motivation enough, Even still have my skidplates off so No excuses tonight
I just changed this out on my 98 thanks to you. I had a misfire and small EVAP leak code. Plus when I would get rpms over about 2500rpms it would whistle sooo loud. Changed it out, it was really nasty. and no more whistle/vacuum leak and no more cel after 100 miles of driving. My mpg has increased DRAMATICALLY now went from 13mpg to 18-19mpg. Gonna just get a new cap and rotor along with plugs and wires. Then do my O2 sensors and be good for a long time
Thank you so much for this video. My truck the same kind of rotor setup and could not find a video showing how to do it. I finally ran across your video and it was just what I needed. I don't why it didn't show up before when I was looking, but I'm glad it showed up today. Good job explaining step by step. I will like and subscribe in case you do more videos on this type of truck. Thanks Again!
No anti-seize on the plug threads?
Great video
Spot on! Nothing to criticize about… im working on a 1991 c3500 454 dually. I’ve had all the parts since 2016. I totally forgot how. Thank you
Thanks pal I appreciate it I recently picked up a 2003 blazer zr2 I hope it will be the same process haha have a goodone sir!!
Thank you Mike for the video. Does my 1998 E320 have the same crankshaft position sensor? In the same drivers side?
take a peek.
Great video! Help me realize somebody installed squarebody front dually brakes on my OBS dually. Replacing all with the OBS but definitely learned from your video! Thanks👍🏻
And don’t forget it requires the odd ball 9mm wrench for the bleeders!!!
