Video descriptions:
0:00 Intro
0:04 Free snack for the mechanic score!
0:22 They were in stop and go traffic so all I can assume it got extremely overheated and caused this somehow
0:34 That's some solid rod knock right there, time for a new engine
0:41 Extremely common on VW's if you've ever owned one you probably know this issue
0:53 He's letting all the magical battery smoke out!
1:04 The oil hadn't been changed in so long it had turned to sludge a bit which is likely what caused this
1:18 Lucky it didn't jump a tooth and destroy the engine
1:24 Should hold up well in a crash right guys?
1:28 Easily one of the most overdue oil changes I've ever seen
1:40 That engine isn't going to last a whole lot longer
1:51 Quite terrifying considering there would be passengers on this
2:08 Well that’s why it wouldn’t turn over, raw fuel doesn’t compress
2:15 Smart of the customer to stop after it happened likely saving the diff
2:21 Never use radweld or stop leak it usually ends up causing more issues than it solves
2:34 Well there's a true mechanical nightmare right there
2:38 I'd love to see what's going on inside this engine
2:46 Customer had quite the coolant leak it was coming from one of the heater core lines
2:59 Unfortunate for this customer as replacing a catalytic converter is quite costly
3:09 Customer states "Diesel heater, working intermittently"
3:13 Typically customers own reports are incorrect but this guy was on the money
3:23 Let me know what you guys think this could be as I have no clue
3:30 Took a while but he found out why the Air conditioning wasn't getting cold anymore
3:40 Dodge charger hit a curb and destroyed the steering knuckle
3:43 Absolute nightmare of a job I can't imagine how much this cost in labour hours
3:56 Outro

One with the doll in the child seat is obviously a Carpool violator, and the one with the pinhole in the AC line I would suspect a shady mechanic who was going to tell them they need a whole new compressor etc. and charge them like $1k and then he would just replace the hose.
Fair enough on the doll but the hose has multiple layers so looks like a normal failure.
i try so hard to take care of my car but watching these videos just fuels my anxiety.
Just calm down and smell the petrol ⛽ fumes !. See if that makes you feel any better ?......................
Same, although my dealership is really good about not overselling me on stuff I don't need, so at least I feel they're trustworthy (for now).
I really only go to them for services I know I can't do on my own like a timing belt replacement
What's wrong with a wooden door?
Look at the doors they put on some Jeeps.
😄
The hinges on the right makes it a suicide door. Other than that, it’s all good.
@@AffordBindEquipment suicide doors are fine
@@redtra236 I missed that part! Maybe there is a safety latch interlock with the ignition toggle switch.
@@AffordBindEquipment Or just dont get out of your car when the vehicle is moving... not that hard. Regular doors are the same way if you get out while the car is moving in reverse.
LMAO! Wooden door. Now there's some backwoods downhome ingenuity!
02:24 That is a endemic problem to Ecoboost engines. Normally when you see that, it means that the damage is already irreversible and the repair is quite expensive.
The whole problem starts with a belt bathed in the same engine oil that literally disintegrates, clogs the oil suction cup and blown your engine.
Also happens on the 1.2 Puretech (citroën, Peugeot). Reason to use a wet belt system is to, actually, reduce emissions. Using a wet belt system reduces friction losses on the timing system up to 30%.
Which equates to around (and I'm not joking) 1-2% increase on total efficiency.
Makers are using a system that combines the worst aspects of both chain and belt timing systems just to gain an almost negligeable improvement on efficiency and emissions.
All core jobs suck on newer stuff
Yeah exactly and then customers wonder why it's going to cost them so much for 'just' a core job
The person with the Jeep Compass at the beginning, just wanted to have one sweet ride
People never cease to disappoint me.
That is any modern vehicle that needs an evaporator or heater core. Most of the time it's easiest to just yank the front seats out of it. On Suburbans/Silverados you have to because the center console is held down by the inner seat bolts.
I wish the engineers that build/design things (cars and other electronic devices) had to perform maintenance on those same items just to see how difficult it can be.
I replaced the evaporator in a 2019 escape. Along with having to remove most of the parts in the acadia. You also have to remove the front seats and the front doors.
Don't look now, but you better get rid of that wooden door! It's beginning to attract beetles! 😂
@3:32, anybody got any flex seal tape?? LMAO JK!! DON'T do that!😅
So the bus driver said the pedal went to the floor. There are two things wrong here. 1. The driver isn't doing pre/post trip inspections and 2. The mechanic wasn't doing full inspections when ever the bus was in for maintenance.
Be surprised how often we report things during a service that gets ignored by the customers. Until it's a major issue later and they come back complaining (not saying some technicians are also just crap of course)
2:09 As a gear head and boater, that's not an automobile. Thats an outboard (boat) engine. My bet would be Evinrude as I have owned lots of them and still have a pair of 2007 250's on my boat now.
I found a cigarette butt in my air filter box once, but never food!
I do my own oil changes, and my dumbass forgot to put an extra qt of oil in my car. I was so tired at that point and said "fck it, I'll check it tomorrow." Checked it at work 2 days later and nearly shit my pants! Felt like such an idiot once I realized what I had done. I get nervous when I'm half a qt low! I just can't wrap my mind around how people don't check these things. I'm so anal about my car my BF calls me crazy sometimes. I guess owning nothing but shitboxes before my current car has left me with stockholm syndrome
Germans love their wooden doors!
Engineers should be required to service prototype vehicles before they go into mass production. I would bet in short order the heater cores would be redesigned and relocated.
One time I had an air filter delivered to the shop that had a bunch of candy in it...
3:23 my guess is that its misaligned or broken cv axles
*VW SUNROOFS*
SCRAPPED a passat 1.8t bc of that issue... Flooded mah trans ecu and main ecu as they are located under the drivers and passanger seats.
No spray foam?
1:24 Suicide door...literally.
Who ever did they Acadia didn't know what they were doing an way over did it
3:00 been there. Surveillance footage showed it took them six minutes, including parking and driving off.
I fixed my exhaust and replaced my cat myself. Because I don't live in Commiefornia, I was able to buy an aftermarket cat from the jungle site.
Was it a clean cut?
@@DrEpicPhD Slightly askew. Typical cut you'd expect from a reciprocating saw of the "Sawzall" type. I also had to replace the O2 sensor. The thief cut my exhaust outside the bolt-together flanges. I got the flanges from a junkyard, pipe I could use to sleeve the repair from AutoZone, a wire feed welder from a friend, and the new cat & O2 sensor from the jungle site (Amazon).
@@DrEpicPhD Get one that's next size up, slip it over pipes, then it's an easy weld. Or better yet, just install gutted cat and trick ecu.
