Hi i cant really get an answer from anyone and was wondering if you could help but i have an 03 jetta 1.8t with a 5 speed manual and only in 1st gear it makes a loud clicking noise under acceleration i replaced both wheel bearings and axels and control arm bushings if you have any ideas what it is it would really help
Replacing a worn water pump on all front drive engines is tougher on all cars past the year 2000,regardless of what motor company brand of cars we drive. Scotty has the most informative DIY tips I've ever seen and for a backyard mechanic He's the real deal.
@@christianflores3437 he jacked up the motor because there wasnt any room. You have to raise jack up to engine, then unbolt motor mount and then raise engine just enough to have room to remove the water pump. Real pain in rear. Alternator normally has 2 bolts, power source and a ground wire to disconnect.
Mr. Scotty you are the king of mechanics, this the problem i have and even the same car , everytime my car has a problem you have the answer best there is in youtube Thanks.
I do agree with Scooty... Japanese cars are easy to repair. And they hav a lot of aftermarket parts too... I just spent $4 for replacing my cracked Engine Water Radiator Outlet in my Honda Accord. Replace it just take me less than 30 minutes, small amount of sealer, and a wrench. I just love Japanese Car.
Rick1885 Never had an american sedan, in my country (Indonesia), Ford and Chevrolet are closed their brand (Bankrupcty). So their Service Centre and Parts Avaibility is so limited in here compare to Japanese Brands.
Hi Scotty! It’s always good to watch your videos! I just have a question. I have the same car on this video. My car make is quite at stop but when i accelerate, especially when i push the gas there is a intermittent wuite noise from time to time. It appears to happen when i put more gas to accelerate
i was an auto mechanic for 27 years. replaced more water pumps then i care to remember.my specialty though was steering and suspension. lots of rack and pinion work these days.then there were days i'd get an older gm in for 4 springs and shocks. talking mid 80's model. those were fun and easy to do...
Good video. Quickly done water pump. The bottom bolt DOES come loose sometimes on the alternator! I suggest recycling the old coolant. Good tools make the job much easier.Noises on the engine somewhere? Use a stethoscope or a long screwdriver CAREFULLY.
Scotty man, you should have a tv show. Came for the power steering pump video, now I'm just watchin these cause I like em lol. Your production quality literally looks like a show lol subbed
Awesome video. Took longer to load the dishwasher than it did to identify the problem with my jeep. Bad water pump bearing. Love showing up my husband when it comes to mechanical problems and parts. Lol. Especially since he's a maintenance technician. Thanks a bunch!! Crystal
yes, they can do that. remove all the fan belts and run it, pray the noise goes away. If not, it's inside the engine often timing belt bearings or water pumps that are belt driven do that
there are many electronic parts inside the dash, a solenoid or motor may be moving, or you can get a sympathetic vibration in any metal part at that speed. Try to pinpoint the area then look inside with a flashlight.
Great video Scotty. I've done a million of these Toyota water pumps! The bearings are trash and they'd constantly leak out of the weep holes as early as 20-30k from what I've seen, and mostly on various 4 cyl. models including Prius. They finally updated the designs on a few of them and then all of a sudden it was raining water pumps at my dealership. The easiest of gravy work and sure made for some awesome weeks on my flat rate time card after doing so many :) Now they've all been done and I'm sad :( Keep up the great videos!
if you take care of them, any car can last a long time with a bit of luck. Here in America, people often treat their vehicles like crap so they tend to fall apart faster. And more bulletproof cars like toyotas will tend to last longer in such a scenario.
subarus often make many strange noises when that old. those boxer engines just tend to be noisy, being VW bug clone engines. They are just loud engines when aged. But do try the fan belt removal test first.
starters do often do that, and those accords are using rather cheap starters these days. They used to last 10 years or more, now I find myself changing them out sometimes after only a couple of years on many accords
internal engine noise is worn metal parts inside, BIG money. You can try a couple bottles of stp oil treatment, but nothing outside of getting another car or rebuilding the engine will actually fix it
first, rear ends stink on those, and putting a junk yard unit on is often putting yet another wearing out one on, see that all the time on those. You need a new compressor or compressor clutch, most guys just change the whole thing out as clutches aren't cheap and it could be more than just that.
find the source of the noise first, using a stethescope, often fuel injectors will tick, but so will valves inside the engine. Pinpoint the noise first, pray it's not inside the engine
pumps often whine as they wear out on those. but metallic sound is bad, check for worn bearings on pulleys for that. It can lead to catastrophic failure
see a front end man, aligning a car can not be done without VERY expensive equipment, and they can also find small problems in the suspension you may have missed.
belts generally do that, you may have gotten cheap aftermarket belts and not factory toyota belts. OR, if it has automatic tensioners on the belts, they do go bad and need replacing as they lose their tension
I show lower end tools in these videos. My snap on tools from the past are sitting in the drawers, I'm not here to intimidate people from wanting to fix their own cars with expensive stuff. I could make em with 30 thousand dollar scanners and high end tools, but really, you don't need em lots of times.

Scotty I have a 93 jeep grand cherokee 180k..auto 4x4 on 30ish inch tires I get a noise sounding like tire rub at speeds over 30 in passenger rear wheel/axle? Ive rebuilt entire axle except the factory locker itself..carriers .outers..pinion.to no avail..200$ in parts and 2 days time ..its only on right corners when im coasting if I keep load on with throttle it isnt as bad..im stumped also noticed abs sensor bolt head had wear mark a good deep one shiny..any ideas? I could have gotten a junkyard axle for 100 so ya..help please wife is not happy lol
Also fixed bad u joint and everything bearing wise is ok all around..ive been under this thing for days checking everything that moves and nothing...any help or ideas would be amazing
they are adjustable, but it's a royal pain shimming them. go to any toyota mechanic and see what he thinks, cause if it is head damage, adjusting will do nothing
old age, rubber bushings get old and crack. Try spraying some WD 40 on all the rubber bushings, normally it will go away for a while. Replacing them is often VERY expensive.
most ac compressor designs require removal of the whole compressor to replace the bearing inside. BUT, I've done it on a few cars with enough working room ON the car.
often worn differentials on those, they are expensive to repair, find a standard tranny shop that does em all the time, they have the best prices on rebuilding them. Don't try it yourself, takes years of experience to do it right
Man that sucks when they're designed so tightly like that. Would there be enough room to work if the alternator wasn't removed and did you need and air tools to get the bolts out or was a big cheater bar and socket good enough? The other two mounts were changed already which temporarily reduced vibration but i'm not sure how having the bad one in there would affect the other two newer ones because the vibration is back. Thank you very much for all the help Scotty, I really appreciate it.
timing chain or valve being bad. Expensive fix on that baby, I'd unload it myself rather than spend that kind of money. Realize those things start falling apart at that age
the crank pulley needs replacing, you can't fix them as rubber is molded into the crank between the two pieces. Try to find a chinese made unit, they cost tons less. And normal maintenance is fine, though be SURE to flush coolant as those things eat up head gaskets with dirty coolant.
make sure the belts are very tight. But if they are, remove the belts one at a time, and when the squealing stops, it's one of those pulleys that have a bad bearing, like the water pump
i apologize i didnt realize that, but you are totally right as nice as snap on mac or matco are they ask you an arm and a leg for basic tools, let along specialty ones. Nothin against craftsman they are great for a diy guy and even their professional series is impressive i just figured someone who uses tools as often as you do would have a nice set, which you do

try checking the brake light switch for the shifter, they go bad and stick then. See my video "replacing motor mounts on your car" to see how to check for a broken mount too.
I own a 2001 GT. They are very reliable cars. There engines are world class, and their transmissions are fair. Dont beat on it and you should be ok. The engines will need lower intake gaskets due to a poorly designed gasket, and the transmissions will need new springs in the valve body eventually because the stock ones will get weak with time and cause slow shifts, which make the trans default to a hard shift mode. It all sounds scarier than it actually is. I drive mine every day and love it.
all that plastic crap in the wheel assembly often makes noise you just live with unless you want to take it all apart and find the rubbing parts. But if it turns rough, try my video "fixing binding power steering on your car"
exhaust pipes can get loose and hit things, wheel bearings can make noise, a frame bushings back there can clunk. See my video "finding the source of car noises" to see how to pinpoint such sounds.

Scotty Kilmer Did you use the Toyotas SST tool to take of the water pump pulley? Do you have a trick or alternative method?
Scotty i had a question if you have a bad water pump pulley can that cause overheating

Im lost. What did he jack up? How he remove alternator?
@@christianflores3437 he jacked up the motor because there wasnt any room.

yep, visited my son and my new grandson lucas in the smoky mountains of tenessee. Also had some real moonshine there.
Damn.
Or if you're like me...remove a part and drop a bolt somewhere that requires removal of additional parts in order to retrieve.
Just means the car will have to do with 9 bolts instead of 10
Buy a magnet on a telescopic stick. Saves a lot of time and hassle.
happened to me last Saturday. that 10mm socket and adapter both.
Removed a bolt dropped it down cam belt cover thought it dropped through bottom ended up tearing half the belt.

This guy is genius
I use a universal long life coolant for that, it's not "regular" stuff. Many companies make it. Always do check the bottles for compatability though.
The only time i notice annoying noises in my car is when my girlfriend’s in it, strange...

Overlord277 dude just made a video last week lmfao!
They been saying this for years 😆
yes, they often do that, but first try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car" that often can clean em out and stop that.
yes, they can do that. remove all the fan belts and run it, pray the noise goes away. If not, it's inside the engine often timing belt bearings or water pumps that are belt driven do that
there are many electronic parts inside the dash, a solenoid or motor may be moving, or you can get a sympathetic vibration in any metal part at that speed. Try to pinpoint the area then look inside with a flashlight.
Omg Scotty you really are a life saver my scion has made this echoing knocking noise for a year now and I always thought it was internal, thank you!
yes, they often do, and will often wobble back and forth when they go bad, making the belt shake which you can easily see
Scotty I like all the videos you have done. They are great and what is more is that you don't beat around the bush, but go straight to the solutions.
Hello Scotty, Im Mandy. Im a shop manager in ohio, and I watch your videos everyday. I learn a lot and I get a laugh. Your awesome.

+Dave Barajas thanks for the support!
yes, they often actually rust in place and nothing but pure brute force will get them off. Put anti seize on them when you finally get em off
depends where the noise is coming from. Pray it's just loose or worn fan belts, open the hood and see if they make noise when cold
I am learning to be a mechanic and your videos help me out alot, thank you
if you take care of them, any car can last a long time with a bit of luck. Here in America, people often treat their vehicles like crap so they tend to fall apart faster. And more bulletproof cars like toyotas will tend to last longer in such a scenario.

internal engine noise is worn metal parts inside, BIG money. You can try a couple bottles of stp oil treatment, but nothing outside of getting another car or rebuilding the engine will actually fix it
you can, but it's hard to reach into such spots often, and removing a belt makes sure you get the right spot when the noise stops.
We pinpointed the problem the bolts of the engine to exhaust manifold broke. Thank you for the response though and love your channel
first, rear ends stink on those, and putting a junk yard unit on is often putting yet another wearing out one on, see that all the time on those. You need a new compressor or compressor clutch, most guys just change the whole thing out as clutches aren't cheap and it could be more than just that.
depends what's rattling, If it's the catalytic converter, no biggie. But if it's internal engine noise, that you worry about
you fill it up, run it, let it cool, then check for air and add coolant if needed. Toyotas generally don't need bleeding.
find the source of the noise first, using a stethescope, often fuel injectors will tick, but so will valves inside the engine. Pinpoint the noise first, pray it's not inside the engine
thanx scotty! youve taught me everything i know about cars! my 1986 chevy cavalier's engine is very pleased!
reliable vehicle that can last a long time
All your videos are so good. I love the editing and the "umph" noise.
I love the way you get right to the point in your videos. Well done!
pulleys actually are two pieces molded together and the rubber molding inside em comes apart with age. My son went to UVM, beautiful country.
pumps often whine as they wear out on those. but metallic sound is bad, check for worn bearings on pulleys for that. It can lead to catastrophic failure
Thanks scotty for another great video, i think scotty would've been a great actor on television also.
they are known for ignition coil problems, check that first. If not, try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car"
Try my video "fixing bad catalytic converters" as that will often clean crap out of the fuel system
check the glow plug system first, often the relays go bad on those
see a front end man, aligning a car can not be done without VERY expensive equipment, and they can also find small problems in the suspension you may have missed.
yes, try a quart of lucas oil additive and pray it quiets down some after a couple hundred miles
belts generally do that, you may have gotten cheap aftermarket belts and not factory toyota belts. OR, if it has automatic tensioners on the belts, they do go bad and need replacing as they lose their tension

most ac compressor designs require removal of the whole compressor to replace the bearing inside. BUT, I've done it on a few cars with enough working room ON the car.
yes , cats often make noises and can still run fine. If they break entirely they can then clog up the exhaust and make the car lose power though.
if you think it's the fan , disconnect it and see if the noise stops, then fix it if so
often worn differentials on those, they are expensive to repair, find a standard tranny shop that does em all the time, they have the best prices on rebuilding them. Don't try it yourself, takes years of experience to do it right
try this video first, see if it goes away with the belts off. If so, figure out which pulley or loose belt is doing it.

still do this test first and pray it's not a timing chain tensioner going out inside the engine.
replace the turbo is about the only way. But, they are oil cooled, you could try a quart of lucas oil additive and see.
oh, it works, it's a great fuel, just expensive to buy and dangerous as hell in accidents.

no need for that ride scotty,
once again, a helpful video
check all the wiring now, you could have damaged plug wires or coil on plug assemblies, see that a lot.
they are somewhat noiser engines, but if it's a "new" used car, the previous owner may not have changed the oil enough, then they make more noise
fuel trim is rarely a bad cat, it may be damaged from bad fuel trim but not the cause. Often bad MAF sensors or fuel injectors on that model do that.
yes, this car has valve train noises from the owner not changing the oil frequently enough, but nothing can fix that but an expensive rebuild
yes
try checking the brake light switch for the shifter, they go bad and stick then. See my video "replacing motor mounts on your car" to see how to check for a broken mount too.
