Hahahaaha
Not the new one though
My corollas Audio doesn’t work deadass needed sum help no other problems beside a cracked bumper 🤧
Lol this is hilarious, I do exactly this in my 00 rolla 😂
This is the same car I drive everyday. I have had it 5 years and the odometer just passed over 300,000 miles. Minor things are wrong with it but still runs and runs. I love it and the 1.8 engine and I want to get another one.
Just bought one with 265xxx miles 😂😂 she runs good, but seems to be struggling to start but starts first try. it shakes when going into reverse. and makes a lot of fricken wind noise when going fast in the cabin😂😂😂😂
Gotta love when Scotty uploads🔥🔥

I watch them all 😳 even if I'm watching my favorite sport football , I'll record the football game and watch the Scotty video.
If the torque converter doesn't lock up then you can also get some overheating at high speed. All the energy lost to slippage ends up being converted into heat and over time that can cause problems.
Still probably not worth fixing, junk the car when the trans finally dies.
There are also products you can put in your transmission to reduce or even eliminate the slippage.
@@jaysonwallker1648 what product works best?
I doubt that will happen because you gotta remember on the highway, all that air is blowing past the radiator and there is more cooling to compensate for the friction of the converter. If it was a higher horsepower car, I'd be more concerned.
@@kdmq your radiator cools your engine not your transmission.
I was explaining something at Sunday dinner and I was waving my arms around. Something I've never done before. Darn you, Scotty!
Where I live, a check engine light automatically fails the inspection.
I had to drive car for 200 miles and 25 restarts to get mil ready state. After fixing abs. Inspection then went fine. Battery was disconnected during repair.
If you got a buddy and a used car business go by on one use one of their little turn off the check engine light for 3 days adapters they fit right under your dash and they work great cuz I used to work at a car lot and we did it all the time and it works on Toyota's
CT rip off state taxes galore
@@MAKING-WINE-ITS-A-GAS Can they be bought commercially?

a Corolla with a V6 would be the perfect sleeper car

Those old Camry V6 were pretty quick for what it was
I've had a 1989 and a 2007 Toyota Corolla. They are the best cars you can buy if you value reliability. The engines really are indestructible. Change the oil fill up the gas and drive no worries. Can't say that about many vehicles.
Says a lot about Toyota quality that you can drain most of the fluid out of the transmission and it will still drive! If that had been a Chrysler product, you wouldn't have been able to get out of the driveway. 😂
You've obviously done your homework, bro.
What did it prove, in the long run???

Thank you for all the information you present in these videos Scotty. I've grown from fearful ,clueless car owner to a confident noobie mechanic. I enjoy changing my own oil, brakes etc. & have started welding. Much love from Minnesota!
My vision is clear now that I'm not afraid of my vehicles, hoping I wouldn't end up in the shop getting ripped off! I feel empowered n set goals for my next project car to learn more! God bless you!
scottys vlogs are always on time.. when scotty speaks with his hands moving, be quiet and listen to this legend!!
Whoaaa I was looking at a Honda Civic that has a CVT and had NO CLUE that transmission filters were even a thing!! Thank God for Scotty!
The manual transmission ones are the most bulletproof and fun to drive. Very rare to come across because no owner wants to get rid of it. Speaking from experience
I’ve had 2 input shaft bearings fail in the c60 transmissions, luckily there easy to swap, can be done in 4 hours
"People always talk about how reliable Corrolla's are" 😂
A yo Scotty, you ARE those people 🙂
Honda doesn’t recommend changing the transmission filter on the Honda Element unless you are going to service the transmission.
Scotty, just how many OBDII scanners do you have? I’ve seen at least 4 lately.
Probably found tons of them when he moved 🤣
Probably gets sent them from the companies
There are still many 2003 - 2008 Toyota Corolla's still on the road today which shows you how long lasting Toyota's are. I see 3-4 of them on my street
I have an 08 Toyota Corolla with only 55k miles on it.
I just bought an 05 with 160k not bad considering I got it for 3k
I love how his arms are so animated, like a conductor for an orchestra
Never buy a car with this problem. I have a very similar problem on my car. I was told by a dealer that I would get worse gas mileage, Just replace the broken part and the car would be great. Now I have an 05 Camry with 160000 miles and a dead transmission after 2 months of ownership. The mechanic told me that this issue tends to cause overheating in the transmission at higher speeds, so the previous owner probably drove a lot on the highway and caused a lot of damage before it was sold to me. If you have this problem, just stay off the highway, not necessarily the end of the car. But if your thinking of buying a car with that problem, then just run. You have no idea how many times it was driven on freeways.
This is one of the most useful comments on the video
Sorry to hear that about your camry that really sucks man. I bought an 03’ Corolla at 70k, and at 100k I had the torque converter shudder in 3rd gear between 40-45 mph, and the rpms are higher than normal on the highway once I go over 65mph. If I go 75 I’m around 3100 rpm. For almost 6 years I’ve been staying in 3rd gear longer to avoid the shudder, and rarely going over 65mph. Also done 5 atf drain and refills since I bought it, no metal in the fluid. Hasn’t gotten any worse in 6 years, at 220k now and still shifts great. If you baby it, it can last a really long time. Previous owner of yours probably drove it a lot the highway at high rpms and overheated it too often.
@@felipe3354 what’s considered high rpm on the highway? I’m going 75mph @ 2800 rpm. Is that high?
I have a 2007 Corolla with this issue but I think the issues only happened occasionally because I can drive all week and the check engine light would come one and then go away 10 mins later. I guess it depends on how much it’s slipping and 3k rpm at 80mph seems fine to me
0:44 = that model year of Corolla almost always has the flange joint cracking off, just where the muffler connects to the rest of the exhaust tubing. That's what's causing the loud exhaust. The fix for that is to just buy 3 rolls of high-temperature epoxy bandage and wrap that stuff around the broken pipe/flange. The epoxy bandage will last 10+ years, but the welded-on replacement flange that muffler shops use only lasts 3 years before it rusts off.
I own a 2006 Corolla with 320,000km with no major repairs ever needed. I also drive a pair of 2009 Camry Hybrids taxis that have 427,000km and 604,000km on them respectively, all mostly in city driving. On the Camrys, the engines rattle, the hybrid system is totally dead, but they still run and still run well.
I don't mean to argue but how do they turn on to begin with? Don't they need the high voltage from the hybrid system to crank the engine in the first place? Genuine question out of curiosity since from what I've read toyota's hybrids don't have a starter since gen 1 priuses so just wondering is all.
I like to her the answer. Waiting
@@StealthMomo You can hook up an accessory mount, alternator and a bigger serpentine belt. It will work as a normal car.
@@adammorrison3343 Wait don't the hybrids lack a serpentine belt in the first place doe? Where are you gonna hook up an alternator to when the crank's mated straight to the e-cvt? Unless you mount it either between the e-cvt or just use it to crank the cvt itself is there some other way I'm missing?
Love your videos Scotty, keep up the good work!!
I've got an 05 Pontiac Vibe with that same engine/transmission which had the same code come up. For me, changing the fluid (not flushing) did the trick. I don't think the previous owner(s) ever checked the fluid before I had gotten it. I'm almost to the next 60,000 mile interval and still have yet to have an issue with it since.
I have a Corolla with 115k miles. I get the code after driving 100-200 miles at 60-80mph. When I checked the fluid it was way overfilled with the car off and while running so I’m going to do a trans fluid change. I think they didn’t change it and thought adding more would be fine
With you I have learned more by watching your videos that I have learned all my life I'm 43 years old thank you
Nice, I would like to see these "detective" Scotty segments, where he checks out suspicious vehicles.
I've never seen one of those. Id love to see Scotty go to used car lots and do some detecting... 😆
I have learned a LOT from Scotty! Thank you my friend. Much appreciated.
Japan made V6 Corollas they are called Blade, we have some of them here in Australia, a Corolla with a 3.5L V6
Scotty thank you for always releasing videos in 2160p 🎥📺👏👏👏👏
I see that Scion Tc in the background- great cars last long
Hey, an all transmission video! Back in 1967 or so, the torque converter in my Dad's '58 Chevrolet started growling, and he was told how much it would cost to replace. He didn't want to put that much money in the car, so he added a little STP to the trans fluid. He thought that it may quiet the noise some, and take up some of the wear that is causing the noise. It worked, and he sold the car about a year later. It still growled, but it still drove fine. In that year with the STP in the transmission he still drove it every weekend between San Bernardino and San Diego, about 200 miles round trip on the highway.
The 58 is worth it now days, but that toyoda will never be worth it...good quality car though.
@@josephmartinez8803 I agree. I wanted my Dad to have the Chevy fixed. It was a 4 door station wagon with a V8, and comfortable to ride in. My Dad bought a '63 Cadillac to replace it. It was very comfortable, but on long trips, I couldn't stretch out like in the wagon. This was back before seat belt laws.
@@garylangley4502
I know what you mean about seat belt laws.
I'm glad I got to experience riding in the back of pick ups. I was born in '63.
@@josephmartinez8803 I was born in 1954. I remember riding in the back of my Uncle's pick up too. My Mom had a mattress custom made for the back of the '58 Chevy, and on long trips, it was great to stretch out there.
@@garylangley4502
Great time to experience, unlike now days.
Have the same check engine light with my 05 Corolla for a while now but it still runs good 👍
I always imagined Scotty’s wallpaper would look like that.
I've painted wheels with stainless steel spray paint. Worked good.
Had 1982 Chevrolet truck that the torque converter locked up at low speeds causing a shudder. Discovered stopped when stepped on brake. Extend those wires to a toggle switch on dash, and could control lockup by flipping a switch.
That's what I love about GM products. They're simple. Back in 1996, the neutral safety switch on the clutch petal of my 1983 Chevy started slipping. One day, it just wouldn't work. I just cut the switch out, wrapped the wires together, and wrapped them with electrical tape, and I wasn't even late for work. When something goes wrong with a Toyota or Honda, well, it's good if you're getting paid by the hour to fix it.
Always a bummer when something goes bad due to butchered maintenance. I had a 2002 Corolla with a 1zz and it was an oil burning machine. Blew a piston on it. I also had a 2012 Corolla S with a 2zz that was a nice engine. Drove it for 90,000 miles with zero problems whatsoever until a teenager totaled it.
Thank you scotty..im looking to buy one of these cars for my daughter , so any information is very handy...
had this same code on my 05 matrix fluid was dirt changed it 3 times it came on once or twice while driving then turned it self off again. no issues since and does same thing as this one. I also just installed cruise control on mine that didnt have it before simple mod! hardest part is getting the screws out of the airbag haha
I love how he said thats a lot of rust. I live in massachusetts Thats nothing compared to what ive seen. And i only just started working on cars a couple years ago
Yup...
I was at the plant where that Toyota was built when it was under construction somewhere near Toronto. The building was about 300,000 Sq. ft. Soon after Honda built their plant nearby. Similar size.
❤ my 2010 Corolla!
❤ Scotty's videos!
I'm always excited when scotty uploads, others watch movies to relax, but I watch scotty
my 02 is300 is from massachusetts, purchased from matts auto mall to be exact, runs solid only issue is rusty rocker panals that i plan on getting fixed soon
MA? Always check right rear wheel well for deep rust.
Keep grinding Scotty
Even that check engine light would fail inspection in NY
this is the exact same thing thats happening to my 07 corolla, makes me much less anxious about the check engine light coming on after im on the highway.
To avoid rust on the exhaust pipe and the muffler, I spray high temperature transparent paint made for the manifold. This paint will last 4 years on salty road.
Good idea!
Check Engine light instantly fails inspection here in New Hampshire regardless of what it’s on for, and I believe also in Massachusetts if I remember correctly from what my coworkers have said, so technically no the owner can’t drive it like that for a long time it either has to be fixed or get rid of the car
Scotty is the best! I still love the laughing animal pictures.
So happy you exist You really save me money and Teach me something new in the process
Well Scotty...$28 brake pads in Chicago are now $79 at autozone.
Cheap parts have been double or triple cost. Caliper was $39 last year now $69. Driving my Focus for 10 years. Paid $160 for it.
My 04 Corolla was very rusted underneath (thanks Northeast Rust belt), other than EVAP issues the car ran great, even with a transmission line that had been leaking!
I sold the 04 because I didn’t want to put in a new intake manifold, bought an 07 with low milage and it’s great! The 07s have a recall for the wrong sticker being put on the cars, that’s most likely why it has a V6 sticker under the hood!
I still am too scared to ask what they would want to sell it for 😂😂

Hey Scotty! Thoughts on a 2021 Acura RDX a spec fwd?
Great video, Scotty. Questioning the addition of a remote transmission filter that is easily serviced every 30k... is this a good idea?
@THEH2OMAN - Some of those cars made by Saturn (1985-2010) had externally mounted spin on transmission oil filters, so it worked for them. Not a bad idea actually.
I just bought a 2007 Toyota Corolla, with 140,000 miles I live here in sunny california. From watching your videos I knew it was a good vehicle and I had it inspected at the mechanic before I bought it. Hopefully it lasts me a long time ❤
It"s kind of funny that some manufactures don't want people to service the trans filters, it feels like they want to fail. It happed to my brothers 2011 Honda Accord, I went to the dealer to get fluids and some other hardware to service the transmission, to my surprise the parts guy had no idea there was a trans filter because the service manual does mentioned at all. Good thing I did it because it was in rough shape and dirty. Moral of the history always change your Transmission oil and filter
My son had the same issue on his Camry. We couldn’t live with it because Arizona won’t smog it with a check engine light. Junked it. To bad.
Nice!!!! Good to know today i got the light on my 05 and it was code p0741. Shifts and drives just fine! So this puts me at ease
Great stuff!

Toyota Blade hatch featuring a 3.5L V6 engine with 280hp (206kW) and 345Nm (254lb-ft) of torque. The Blade is sold in Europe as the Auris and in other markets as the Corolla.
All good info and always is .
I once test drove a V6 1998 Corolla, at a Toyota dealership. It had the engine from a Camry.
Scotty, for all the times you've talked about replacing transmission fluid, I don't recall YOU saying to replace the filter while you're at it.
He has, multiple times.
I only get this code to pop up on my 07 matrix when I’m in stop an go traffic. My vibe does great on the highway….. go figure
I don't think that hood could have come from anything other than another Corolla. For some reason someone must have changed the sticker.
Good afternoon Scotty from California
Afternoon!
Hey Scotty, I am getting a new car (2021 Hyndai Elantra) soon. I want to keep it going for as long as possible, but I dont know a lot about doing car maintenance. Whats a quick list of all the things I can / should do to keep it going for as long as possible?
Scotty is the master of Toyota, especially he is a devoted maestro as his arm is non stop.
That code P0741 is very common on Corolla's. I changed my transmission fluid, which was very dirty, and the code went away.
In Australia they had a v6 as an Option for the Corolla s
I thought that rusty muffler was a custom exhaust lol. It actually sounds pretty good.
I once had a guy in my class who had this model of Corolla and the exhaust sounded similar to this only I think his was intentional
I have the same issue on my Corolla, drives fine to me... Just seems like a common issue and having to deal with it during smog time in CA is a pain.
Did you ever get it fixed? i have a 2005 with the same issue
@norestjoel i also have an 05 with the same issue lol
Always wondered if the cops shut down that straightaway so Scotty can go haul assing down the road 🤔
Wait I thought you lived in Texas been watching your videos since like 2013 and never noticed you were in Massachusetts
Could you not sand blast the rears to knock of the rust if their not too far gone?
2005 Toyota, outside looked pretty abused with 225,000 and the blue paint gone, it was a 'rusty" top but the mechanic that last inspected said it was the best maintained old corolla he had ever run across. Unfortunately a week later it was totalled with driver side door damage (other guys fault that required a door replacement). The insurance company would not fix it because their shop refused to not repair the paint and a slight dent in the rear bumper. As it was they gave me a good total on it, but I quickly learned why as used car prices were soaring..fortunately got a break and got a nice 2014 Corolla way to cheap...family deal. . Hopefully the old girl has a new owner (a mech could easily fix the door) and has not been scrapped because she was a runner.
i got a corolla from an old grandma she was religious with maintance but didnt care about rust so everything runs new but rust is getting bad
Im feeling blessed everytime Scotty uploads.
My car with manual transmission has been faithful to me. So lovely.
Come to Puerto Rico scotty and youll see lots of v6 swap corolla and tercels
I’ve got a 2008 Corolla that I replaced the MAF and intake gasket on because it was throwing a code and it never came back on. It has been pretty reliable and I just installed cruise control on it for about $90. All it took was the cruise control and clutch switches.
I love the 3mz fe motors. So smooth and efficient, but powerful when you need it to be
Someone probably used Camry or solara replacement parts.
Unfortunately it's interference with a belt 😭
A Camry or a solara hood will never fit on a Corolla not in a million years
Brake rotors and drums are almost always GI 35 or close to it, not steel. Gray iron is self lubricating and short-chipping. It wears cleaner and cooler and the iron comes off in dust instead of compressing and getting hard or pilling up like a sweater when rubbed. Grey iron is stable and less prone to warpage. If you used steel you would have all sorts of issues.
Would that effect your inspection, with the light on?
Good afternoon Scotty!
That's a nice camera!
it's not just honda CVTs, the CVT cooler filter on JATCO trany also needed to be changed but no instruction for it on the user manual or service manual
The Toyota Blade Master has a 3.5l V6. Looks like a high end version of the Corolla. Same body, interior etc.
Solid car I have one myself 120 miles in good condition bought it for 4,000 not planning on letting it go anytime soon, completely off topic. Question I recently last my battery hold down clamp bolt that's bolted to the frame at the end of the clamp currently using tie down traps but i don't know how long they would hold up for, do you know what size bolt would fit?, someone told me 10mm but he forgot to mention the length
I have this same problem with my '07 corolla but the check engine light only comes once i get to Newark airport driving back from NY to PA...after a day or 2 the light comes off...car runs great only thing is once in a while when i hit 50 or 70 mph i can feel the car shake, i just let go of the gas peddle and it stops
Scotty is OK in my book. And Why, cause he TELLS IT LIKE IT IS!!
Scotty,you can get a Corolla with a 3.5 litre V6 engine.It's called a Toyota Blade.We have them here in New Zealand.Second hand Japanese imports.Would go pretty fast I would Imagine.
My Corolla does it vary rarely. I drive 150-250 miles till it turn on. Might change the fluid and filter to see if that helps.
Recently I asked the Nissan dealer to change the CVT oil (Xtrail T32) and they kindly grant my request to watch the oil change process on their shop floor. The car is 5 years old and the odometer is only 30km, but I want to be proactive knowing that the CVT is a prone part on many of the new Nissan. I already look at the service manual so I know something about servicing this CVT. The standard CVT oil change did not involved changing the filter - I had to request it. Also they did not drop the oil pan to clean the debris magnet. So it is not a specific Honda "problem".
The lost fuel economy would manifest as extra heat in the slipping torque converter. Probably not a big deal, but might cause a problem at highway speed in the summer.
Scotty i have a 2012 gm pickup starting to rust around the wheel fenders. What's the best fender flare on the market?
Have an 01' Chevy Prizm (Aka. Toyota Corolla) that I got with 60k miles, now have almost 200k on it and 4 years later. No big problems besides catalytic converter failing I think from burning a lil oil and/or having an exhaust leak before front o2 sensor causing to run rich
