There is one video in German showing a Tesla going 200k km without oil in the gearbox. Also nice stuff! 😂 Rather a compliment to Tesla. He came to the mech due to burning smell in the garage.😢
Nice video, but you missed two important things. You should have drilled a drain hole in the water manifold to the cavity between the seal and armature bearing. This would allow coolant to drain outside the motor when the seal fails again… and it will fail again. Secondly the bearing damage in the gearbox is from current drain that occurs when the motor fills with coolant. The currant has no place to go except through the gearbox and out the half shafts to ground.
First of all a big thank you for sharing your knowledge. Would you change seals and bearings periodically say every 200.000km? I have heard about a drain hole to detect leakage before the coolant does damage. Did you get all the required parts from Tesla?? Im in Australia with a 2013 Model S P85+ signature with 380.000km and we dont have a Tesla 3rd party workshop (I know of). And I want to keep the car, it is just great.
Great quality video and very informative on the mechanics. Thank you, im watching from San Diego, California. I would love to learn how to repair my 2016 Tesla model S. Do you offer an online course? Sincerely, Marvin
I Have and issue with my 2014 MS P85 had a battery repair 3 months ago ev specialist now 2 months later can came up faults bmw_w123_sw_internal_isolation , bms_w123_internal_isolation car shut down unable to drive. car has done 86,000 miles he wiped the faults drove for 30 miles then same faults then parked car and went into service mode also a new fault. contractors reqiure replacment. alerts BMS-w161-sw-contractor-stress. he says he took off outside cover spots of coolant in cover seal. he thinks motor has gone but I hear no noise he said if can throw up all sorts of faults. Is there anywhere in u.k that will refurb or can the unit be shipped to you for refurb. I dont know if i should do it or scrap the car incaseit could be something else aswell
I have a TMS 85D 2015 Model, On letting go of the gas pedal there is a "mechanic" noise mostly in lower speeds (below 70km/ hr). When I accelerate slowly or faster theres is no noise. Neither is there any noise on maintaining a speed. Noise appears only when letting go of the gas pedal. Is this coming from the gear box (needs a refill of oil) or is there something more sinister going on inside the drive unit? (water ingress/ ball bearings etc?) Happy to get any tip, but I realise these questions are difficult to answer..
How much for a job like this. I got a whining noise on my motor of model s 2013 with only 59k miles. I got a Lincoln mkz with 190k miles and have only done oil changes and some recall repairs. Not sure why my Tesla now that is out of warranty stating to have issues
Do you know of any places like this in the USA? I’m interested in a 2015 model s p85d but I’m nervous for a full repair at Tesla but the car looks amazing other than that. 118 k miles and original battery I believe
Isn't there a modified component that removes the cooling tube from this motor? I believe they figured that it wasn't required- that is, it was over engineered.
The replaced the trans fluid with toyota WS and the noise seems to be getting less the more i drive. Im going to do it again after 500 miles and then a 3rd time after another 500 miles.
thx... you sound a bit russian, ucranian, right? beautiful to see, it the levl of a 'big bycyle repait, and peanuts to 'change scr vale' un ice cars... good ride my friend...
No, we graphite coat rotor and improved coolant ingress mitigation. Rotor cooling is crucial for heat scavenging and for ball bearing cooling. Premature failure is imminent without rotor cooling.
@evclinic that makes sense. Are you aware of the revision U or latest revision Tesla is doing with the LDUs to improve longevity? I'd love to know more as I have a P85D.
Thanks good video. But my rear drive unit only makes a klonk noise when I press gas pedal and same klonk noise when I release gas pedal both only at low speed. Any idea ? Can it be inside drive shafts the drive joints ?
@@evclinic as far as I have I have checked no linkarms or bushings are broken. But there is a play when I turn the rear wheels when the car is up on the lift. More play on rear than on front, it’s a dual motor and no klonk from front en only rear.
I have a clunk noise similiar to what you describe. 2013 MS S85 rear wheel drive. Tesla mechanic did an inspection and said the front motor bushing is torn/cracked. This would explain the noise, however, he quoted me a $7000 repair cost to simply replace the entire drive unit as I don't think they will do just a bushing replacement. This seems outrageous. As a bushing replacement could be done with just a few hours of labor and the right tools.
Good job! What was the cost of the repair please? I have the same problem.. :) The authorized Czech Tesla service does not carry out this repair and the only option is a new engine. About 6,000 Euros ;-)

you will get with that just bearing overheat and total motor failure below 70k miles. That doesnt work longterm, it is bandaid solution. Every motor without rotor cooling suffers premature rotor bearing failire because of overheat, smae thing what we see on renault, kia, hyundai electric motors. And btw Tesla LDU is much heavier and strogner than those small ones. In germany where they drive 180kmh this would hold just 10k km.

@@evclinic That’s completely not true. I have seen all the invoices on the user forums. You are talking about some hack repairs. People are not getting those prices. And battery and drive unit failures are happening within days and months, so stop your ridiculous lies claiming they will last 600km. Damn lies! And even if they were getting those prices, that’s still a lot of money for cars that are claimed to never break because they don’t have an engine and transmission! 🤣🤣🤣

I've worked on electric motors for years. This repair is very easy. The seals are like $30 at most. Bearings can cost about $400 for really nice SKF type stuff. People are afraid of anything new to them. Got noise, replace the whole motor - $7000. A bunch of crap! All you need to do is what was done in this video. Rebuild the motor. You rebuild engines for more than this, and they're much more complicated and time consuming to do by comparison. As far as batteries go, they're not cheap but they don't always require replacement either. There are many scenarios where the battery can also be repaired at a fraction of Tesla's full replacement cost. And you can get credit for your old working modules. You just have to find a knowledgeable shop to do it. 95% are getting normal battery life which can last up to 350-400k miles. I get so sick of these people with this old horse and buggy mentality. There's more that's right than wrong with an electric car. And they are cheaper and easier to maintain if you have some know how.
@@shwndh Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think it's important that anyone that reads your comment knows that, with all due respect, you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. First, for you to suggest that all the problems with EV's are bearings is ridiculous. I have a 2023, and they don't have the leaky seal issue of the early Model S that causes bearing failure. My failure is a common one, and it is due to electrical failures that the average home mechanic has no hope of fixing like they could a coil pack, an alternator, a water pump, etc on a regular car engine. The whole drive unit has to be dropped from the bottom of the car which requires a lift for the car. Almost no one has one of those at home. Gone are the days of fixing motor issues yourself in your driveway. It requires special computer equipment that Tesla has not released to customers. They released a watered down version of their computer, but it won't give you what you need to fix these drive unit issues. Tesla charges $7K for a replacement drive unit, and the 3rd parties that work on Tesla's charge $7K for rebuilding your drive unit. So just shut up for once with your silly lies. And if part of your battery goes bad, fixing it is like opening up a light bulb to weld back the filament. In other words, it's stupid. If some of the battery cells are failing due to age, then the others are not far behind. Why would you spend $5-6K to repair a battery that will keep having more $5-6K failures over and over instead of buying a new $15-20K battery? The batteries don't care about miles, they care about time. Batteries are expected to last 10-15 years, so you would have to be an idiot to do that. The average age of a car today is 12 years old. In other words, almost all EV's will need a new $15-20K battery in their lifetime. Just stop replying to EV posts please because you are clueless. Have a good day.
Thanks for great video. Are you experiencing the same problems with drive unit of model S90D or just on older models S85? I have a facelift Model S90D 2016 with 222.000 km (oil and coolant liquids renewed) with how much kilometers do you advise to refurbish (if necessary)? (refurbish coolant seal and or bearings)

Hope all the mechanics are knowledgeable like yourself.
Nice video, but you missed two important things. You should have drilled a drain hole in the water manifold to the cavity between the seal and armature bearing. This would allow coolant to drain outside the motor when the seal fails again… and it will fail again. Secondly the bearing damage in the gearbox is from current drain that occurs when the motor fills with coolant. The currant has no place to go except through the gearbox and out the half shafts to ground.
