My purpose for making this channel is to help people learn how to fix things like cars and motorcycles. Nowadays, labor for fixing vehicles and motorcycles are very high even though the parts are cheap! You don't even know that if the mechanic will do a good job fixing your cars or motorcycles or not. Most of the time mechanics will tell you that you need to replace this or that, mostly it's not true. You'll end up paying high dollars to get it fixed. Now it's time to put a stop to this nonsense labor! Also, I included DIY projects. These DIY projects will also help you gain the knowledge, motivate you to do it yourself to save even more MONEY! IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT!
I know that I have different content in this channel. I just wanted to have a wide variety of contents in one channel, kind of like one stop shop and including musical vlogs on our Road Trips/Vacations with this channel so that someday you might like to visit those places too.

Thank you I used your video to install my system and it helped a lot!
You are very welcome, my friend 🙏 I am glad that my video is very helpful to you. Enjoy your new water softener system, and you will love it.😊
Cuuuuuuuteee😊
😊🙏
How long did this last?
This compressor is still working.
My wife's 2012 quest with 80k miles has a transmission that is acting terrible at 40mph. We've done a fluid service to it and it went away for a couple of months. Now it's bad again. And if you have the AC on, there's almost no power at 40mph. Revs itself to 2k, goes up to 5k trying to get out of gear at 40mpg. Any ideas?
When is the last time you do a tune-up on your van? Seems like the first symptom is your motor and the second one is your transmission if it's trying to get out of gears.
@@MrBeeHS did a tune up last year. All new sparks. Transmission pan drop and fill service.
So that means.....your CVT transmission was the root cause.
@@MrBeeHS I'm assuming I don't have many options. Sell the car or replace the transmission with another Nissan CVT.
I feel you, my friend. First, check the cost for transmission replacement if it's worth it or not. If it comes out more money than getting a new van....then you'll be better off buying a new van.
HI HOW TO REMOVE A BROKEN BOLT FOR AC COMPRESSOR 2004 MERCEDES C180 K
Use a bolt extractor, my friend.
Great video. Is this one a Cross-link Resin or Fine Mesh Resin model? Looking into upgrading to an Aquasure Harmony but not sure which one to choose and why.
My water softener system is a fine mesh system that can remove dissolved iron up to 10 ppm from the water coming from the city. Usually, cross-link water softener is good for water without chlorine that's coming from the well water. I hope this helped you decide which system to get.
@@MrBeeHS ok. Am in Texas and believe some of the water does come from a well. I’ll do some more research on our water. Thank 👍🏼
You're very welcome 🙏 I am also in Texas as well.....Dallas
Do u know how pong will work that ac conpressor?
I don't know what you mean by that.
@@MrBeeHS How long does that compressor last?
@stevenssiles5312 it's been 2 years now and it's still working.
@@MrBeeHS is a cheap one right?
That's correct
Good job man 👨👏👏👍👍🫡🙏
Thank you so much, my friend 🙏
Tx heaps, saved me a lot of $$$. Easy to DIY
Yep! Thank you so much, my friend 🙏
Excellent video. Aquasures installation video is excellent, but this is the source video for getting the system initialized. Many thanks from hardwater Paradise Valley.
Thank you so much, my friend 🙏
Dealer wants $1300 for service
Yep! That's correct! Way cheaper to DIY.
Hi, I purchased a new house and it only came with a new aquasure water softener 48000 or 64000 there is just me and my wife.we have had egg smell ever since we bought it. The seller never hooked it up and I knew nothing about water softeners. Aquasure tech help told me to regen manually so for 6 months I kept doing it. The water hardness has been between 250 and 425ppm. In April of this year I added pre filter up and the sulfur eliminator.water hardness is still the same.I have been emailing back for weeks with Aquasure tech plumber, well company and sulfur eliminator people with the conclusion the softener tank may have lost most of the resin/is damaged Aquasure tech has me test regeneration and it is fine . Settings are at default 1000 gallons. My pressure tank went out, got new one. My sulfur eliminator runs water constantly because of the iron content. Everything I’ve tried hasn’t brought down the hardness at all. What do you think? Thanks
Sounds like the water softener unit that you have is defective. If the system is not bringing down the hardness, then the unit is bad....in my opinion. The mechanism inside may not work properly. I would highly recommend you to buy the new system. The new system is fairly cheap now and sometimes you can catch it when it's on sale. I hope this helps and hopefully will help you solve the issues.
This oil will burn the clutches. Seconed gear requires some learning but can be mastered in a short amount of time. This guy is way off course. Stick with mobil one 20-50 v twin
That's not the real reason my friend. 2nd gears ALREADY like that, it's not required learning. I've been riding for 10 years my friend. AND I already use different kind of oil out there that you can described. It's what you called experiment with oil that can help with bad transmission. If you watch the whole video you'll find out that I have been using that oil for at least 3 years and no clutch slipping at all as the matter of fact, it gripped even better than the oil that you've been using.
bonjour merci pour la video 'ai des accoups apres la vidange de ma glc 2204matic avant la vidange tout se passait bien merci
You're very welcome my friend 🙏
Das ist Unprofessionell
It's DIY my friend and save you more money than getting ripped off from the dealership. You need to be smarter than the dealership my friend. Work smarter
Hi, what colour are they?
Gray
this is the best video of this i have ever seen, you just saved my ass with this, helll YEAH
Thank you so much my friend 🙏
@@MrBeeHS im mid change, the strut bar for the 2008 is different apparently, it houses the wiper motor, , i assume i just disconnect and take whole thing out, its not a bar but like a housing brace -thing... any advice thanks
Yes, that is correct! On your year model, you need to remove the wiper motor assembly and get it out of the way for easy access.
@@MrBeeHS ok, i tried one bolt, didnt budge, i think i might try disconnecting the throttle body from manifold to see if i can get around that way otherwise i might be screwed.
Ok cool, keep me posted my friend.
2014, 110,000 miles, radiator flush once 5 years in transmission at 80k. Loaded up and driven hard, still going!
Yep! That's great my friend
Awesome and very helpful video, Just wondering are you using Pex A or Pex B? Thanks
Thank you so much, my friend. I use PEX-B pipes for my setup.🙏
Where is the filter? I can’t find it
There is no filter for this vehicle my friend. All you have to do is drain and fill CVT transmission fluid.
Jesus that was overdue.
😂
Thanks a lot for the videos! How much coolant did you add in total?
You're very welcome 😊 I added approx 2 gallons.
@@MrBeeHS Thanks!
You're welcome my friend 🙏
Hey! Thanks for the video! Really appreciated. Just have a few questions. 1) In the video it seams as if you only used 5 quarts, I believe the kit comes with 10? Why is that? 2) What about the rear differential? Or the Torque Converter? Don’t we need to drain and refill them as well while doing this process? 3) From my understanding during the process once we fill the oil we need to switch the cap to position 2 so it leaks out the overfill if any, and we also need to do so after running the car so the transmission temperature is settled, I see you didn’t do any of that. So it’s not really necessary? Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes, you are correct! I use only 5 quarts or the total amount that was drained. The rest are in the torque converter. The kit comes with 10 qts, but you don't have to drain it in the torque converter. You can definitely drain and fill the rear differential as well. It's up to you. The last one... you can do that as well. I know that I didn't do it because it's not necessary, in my opinion. This was my third service on this GLC300....the car belongs to my wife since it was on the showroom floor in 2016 and has never been to Mercedes dealership accept my shop...(my garage) 😄 I hope this help and I appreciate for watching my video.
@@MrBeeHS appreciate your help and input! Thank you 🙂🙏🏼 Has there been any improvement in shifting? Or wifey doesn’t notice she just sees it drives lol 😆
You're very welcome 😊🙏 I test drove it after I did the service, and it drives just like the first day that we took it out from the showroom floor at the Mercedes dealership. 😊 Now, just take your time on it, and please do not rush to get the service done and always double check your work. 😊

How do I program the key for a 2008 Toyota Highlander
Have you tried my method yet to see if it'll work on your 2008? I am not quite sure if 2008 uses the same method or not.
One of the better videos I've ever seen. Job well done. Question: Is this the same 3.3 engine that's in my 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid? Thx
Thank you so much my friend. I believed it's 3MZFE in your 2008 Highlander Hybrid as well, but please double check on that as well.
wow that was one of the best videos on how to do that
Thank you so much.🙏
solid vid! i realize the drain hose is 1/2" but that must be OD.. I matched it up with 3/8" PEX and it seems to work well, do you know if that is acceptable if my drain hose is too short? I am dealing with a concrete floor and the drain is 15' away..
should also add i grabbed a 3/8 sharkbite coupler and connected it but i havent turned the water on yet to test it.. fingers crossed lol
Thank you very much
So where is actual auxiliary battery location
It is usually located in passenger front underneath the glove box compartment

By the way a small washer and o-ring goes with the pilot screw. I see the washer or o-ring fell onto the ground when you were spraying it off after you removed from the can. Not sure if you realized that or not.
Yes, I do. Thanks for catching that. 🙏
Thank you!!
You are very welcome 😊🙏
Thanks god blesd
You are very welcome and thank you so much.🙏
I got a regular 12v for 130 dollars at costco! Interstate is the brand
Great! How many years do they provide the warranty?
Does the valve cover gasket have to be replaced? My highlander hybrid 2007 is at 174k miles. Also what about a transmission drain and fill? What do you recommend?
If your value cover gaskets are not leaking oil, then I wouldn't worry about them. Mine was starting to leak a little bit. Transmission drain and fill should be performed every 30,000 miles.
I agree with trans fluid every 30k. If you have a Highlander Hybrid then you don't have a clutch, it's a planetary gear assy. I did my first trans fluid change at 260k with no issues. The same should be done to the rear differential motor assembly. Make sure you get that stuff from toyota, it is stupid expensive but worth it. Even once every 80k would be a little much for those in my opinion. Your user manual might not mention the transmission fluid because it may not need it. I hope I am not stepping on your toes but I own a 2017 RAV4 Hybrid and previous owner to a 2006 Highlander Hybrid that I regret selling at 326,000 miles.
You are correct, my friend. It's all good though. The owner's manual recommended to take it to the dealership and you know how's it is....it's all about business and making profits.
That bike is in great condition👍. If your clutch doesn't slip, then no problem. Detergents in Diesel oil do remove carbon but only creates a problem if there is wear in the rings, then some oil can bypass the rings. Synthetic oil can help with the gearshifts being smoother due to the nature of the oil. This makes synthetic oil unsuitable for a new engine as the rings will not "bed in", so mineral oil is better for new engine until the end of the run in period.
Thanks, yes when I got the bike, the clutch was slipping really bad. I've tried all kinds of oil on the market, but nothing seems to help until I tried the diesel engine oil and it helped and the clutch stopped slipping. I am sure that the transmission needs to be rebuilt. All good though because I had hit and run and my insurance totaled my bike 😔
@@MrBeeHS That is terrible that the bike was totalled. Such a waste! The transmissions are just clunky by nature anyway. I am thinking that there must have been contamination on the clutch plates when the clutch was slipping. The decision you made to use diesel oil with its detergents must have removed the contaminants from the clutch plates, allowing the clutch to grip properly again. Quite remarkable that you arrived at a solution, solely due to being persistent. That is a solution that would not usually be thought of. 👍
Thank you very much. Yes, it's definitely such a waste from the hit and run. But, I am getting another M109R in the future because I still love the bike. Right now, I still haven't found the right one yet, the condition and the mileage. I really don't like the new one B.O.S.S. edition because there are too many blackouts. I still love the chrome on the bike.
Is it odd that my softener didnt make any noise when going theough these cycles?
It is odd, but as long it goes through those cycles, then it'll be fine.
Should the carbon filter be pre soaked for 48 hours before installation?
Not necessary, but you can do that
Is there an alternative to K & N filter cleaner like using regular dish soap with water or something else?
Yes you can, use a little bit of dish soap with water and spray it on for a little bit and rinse it off.
Great video but I wish you had mentioned what type of oil to use.
My apologies, my friend. 🙏 I used Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 5W-30 for this vehicle.
In the slightest chance where is the dip sick on this thing because I looked at it and it looks looks you can’t check it
It should be located between the engine and the intake manifold with a yellow handle. Are you sure that your engine oil dip stick is not missing?
My salt pellets are not disolving. What's wrong?
How long have you had salt pellets in there? The salt pellets don't dissolve like regular salt. The salt pellets will dissolve very slowly. I added one bag per month.
@@MrBeeHS Oh okay, I'm starting to see that now
If ts before water softner would it have a salt taste ?
No salt water taste.
Don’t use this spark plug. Use the Denso 3426 which are the stock plugs. You gain nothing from these plugs and don’t ever put anti seize on plugs. The new plugs come coated with an anti seize already.
You are correct! 100% the spark plugs that were used are requested by my client and yes you do not need to use anti-seize on the plugs.👍
Looks good 👍 👌 thinking of putting one in my house
Thank you, I really appreciate it 🙏
Is 75 gallon the input from your main water source? We have our own water well with way less gallon a min. How should I calculate it?
75 gallon input is the standard number as part of the formula for the water softener system. The 75 gallon is not the gallon per min. No matter where you get the water source from, you just need to plug in the 75 gallon as a part of the formula. I hope this helps.
Thank you, really needed this
You are very welcome 🙏
