Here's one: not cleaning the body, a dirty car averages 7% worse mileage.
Scotty Kilmer .... Hi Scotty. I have a 94 Thunderbird lx. Can you tell me how to recalibrate the gauges? I'm putting white face overlays and painting the needles. Someone told me to recalibrate the gauges but I don't know how. Can you help me? Thanks. Take care my friend.
Scotty Kilmer I
I work at a tire, brake and front end shop and I have replaced more brake systems from people putting oil power steering fluid in their master cylinder !! It never ceases to amaze me what people do to their cars!! Oil and any petroleum product will swell every rubber component in your brake system so valves cylinders calipers hoses abs controllers in other words big money !!!! Then the metal hard lines need to be flushed not with brake clean as its petroleum but denatured alcohol!!
Your gonna blow up your bike Scotty!
I love how violently he slams doors and hoods, it's hilarious
he's angry
hes a....MANIAC?!!?! This guy has a sorta, crazy personality to him. It is why I subbed to him. :)
Yol EXACTLY 😂😂😏
ROUSH4203 LMAO fr
ROUSH4203 My bonnet won't even close properly unless if slammed.
4:09 that is the cheapest hood i have ever heard
mjj1579 Ahh, that sounds like a garbage can lid
It beats my Sprint. It'll bend and twist as you hold it.
Lmfao
I had a toyota celica exactly like that one. I never owned a car with such a heavy hood to be honest, it was a tank. And you can see in the video it has zero insulation under it.
Thin, light,= gas milage. I hear money saved all around.
this video should be your number one video
people need to see, take note, and only then see your other material
so darn valuable, especially the overheat factor
Absolutely. If I had watched this 7 years ago I'd probably still have my first car. Too lazy to change the oil. Too lazy to check the coolant, and generally no idea how to do proper maitainance... maintenence... maintenance! Can't even spell it.
Nearfaded iiii
Nearfaded
Good video for teen drivers and "retards"...
Nearfaded absolutely.. as a dumb youth in my early 20s I power washed my engine on my new/used corvette.. I took out the expensive $500 dollar opti-spark distributor.. kicked myself for days..
Hey Scotty, it took me long enough to realize you were part of the airborne division, thank you for your service and your videos,
his son was in the 101st, Ft Campbell
Love your energy!! Straight to the point!
Guys like this can be found In any city. Just go down to the used car lot.
I live that his uploads are so short, never any problems with 15-20 minute wheeze-fests with this guy.
Dear Scotty, just to let you know we enjoy your videos here in England UK too !!! Keep 'em coming !!!
I wonder if Scotty is as friendly in person as he is on UA-cam lol we need more friendly people in this world
people tell me I'm exactly the same when they meet me on the street. And it's true, I'm no actor, I'm just me.
Scotty Kilmer Alwaya good to be you and you seem like a nice person
Zack Ryan Heard that!
Zack Ryan he use to be a Parts runner for different dealers. My teacher said he had a dirty pirate mouth lol
Scotty Kilmer May I have a picture taken together with you someday when I visit your country please? I am from Malaysia
Scotty, you're a legend.
I so agree with not steam cleaning a modern engine. Keep the inside of your engine clean folks with plenty of oil changes. That's what counts.
Absolute Legend!
tbh, I just use a spray that cleaned the stuff off. Spray, wait 15 minutes, low-pressure hose for about one minute, and then air dry 24 hours before turning it back on. btw, I only did it because I was changing a part and couldn't tell where the bolts were located lol.
Well i have a 1982 wv Passat and its well with Water i clean my engine with some Diesel and water
Casey Stoner
Just today my truck died. Found out it was just a dirty engine
Casey Stoner yep oils cheaper than an engine. One of the first things I say to people when I'm talking about their car is when was the last time you had an oil change. If they can't answer the question that pretty much indicates that they don't take care of it. At that point you don't volunteer to help them maintain their car. Why would you put in the effort out if they're not going to take care of it.
Out of all the car repair guys on your tube you are the best down to earth straight shooter. You get to the point and I have been able to fix 3 of my cars trucks with the simple fixes you suggest in you vids KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!
ALAN HIIESALU
I love his enthusiasm lol
same :)
Joe Schembri
This man is a genius. I am convinced
DMA2Superman 2:55 dam I wish Huskies were that cheap..And I ain’t talking about the tool
He must be a used car salesman
This guys hilarious a I Iove him. The finger pointing, head jerking and screaming reminds me of a 90s commercial but i love it, it suits him, i learn so much and im actually paying attention. Your awesome keep up the great work!
+kina harris thanks for the support
The thing is he is spreading stereotypes that are not true anymore. He is old timer and many of what he says is wrong. He promotes values for older cars and hates new technology. The thing is every car since 2010 comes with new technology and instead of bitching about it - he could have adjusted and told us some normal things, but no, he is stuck in 80's and 90's and thinks that only Dodge 1998 is a best car lol. From his point of view any Japanese car that is in reality very reliable - he thinks it's junk - only because he can't fix some thigns that are no longer fixed and just replaced as a unit. This is new reality we live already for a decade, but the guy is stuck in his old days. Pathetic
He loves his Toyota Celica, I don't know what you're talking about
Ara Arutyan your a moron who probably drives a 2018 car on daddy's money gtfo
+Ara Arutyan - Toyota's are good vehicles (usually) in my experience as well, Most of his gripes are about stupid things that car manufactures are doing nowadays. Things that wear out quickly and cost a lot to replace. A good example is stereos that are touch screen and custom fit, or how about heater controls that are controlled by touch screens. Plastic parts on engines and engine systems that get brittle and break. Cars without dipsticks, grease fittings, and lubed for life parts. Older cars were built better. The newer ones are safer and get better mileage but planned obsolescence is in full effect. I don't care for ANY vehicle built after 2005 and they are getting harder to find in good condition. Also, I am sure that Scotty does not think that a 1998 Dodge is the best car.
I really like this guy. I dont really know why, he just seems cool somehow...
I dont even watch your videos for advice, i come for the entertainment
I certainly hope that's why where all here... unless you have learned to inflate your tires when they're ice cold.
Scotty. You should do a video of all maintenance required for a car that people don't know about. For example oil changes, spark plugs are all common and known. But I can bet people don't know about the cabin air filter in modern cars. Thanks your videos rock
Already did it
My 2002 GMC 2500HD has a cabin filter, my 2016 F450 Ford does not. The F150 does.
he has a ebook on amazon for 6 bucks!
Or fuel filter. Out of sight out of mind. Kind of a big deal up here in Wisconsin. Everybody forgets.
I usually change my own cabin filters. I even changed my filter in my slk350 convertible. I almost never drive it with the top UP, so I'm not sure why it even has a cabin filter.
I like your videos . There too the point, straight foward and backed by years of actual experience. Good job.
I like your videos Scotty, short and to the point, yet detailed enough!
I watched Alot of your videos and I admire what do. Even if some of the things are common sense, there are still people out there that don't even know the basics. I wish there were a lot more people like you. Every video I come across that's yours I'm gonna give it a thumbs up. Good job and God bless you :)
ya. There really needs to be a section in drivers ed called common engine sense and maintenance. That would save the world a lot of trouble
Chase Lanier Either that, or just ban women and dumb guys from driving! Lol
Chase Lanier and how to drive safely with commercial vehicle traffic.
Common sense and driving don't always go together. Yesterday I saw a video where a biker stopped some stupid old bitch to tell her she had TWO flat tyres. Her excuse was she had no insurance, at the time she was trying to drive 20mins away from that location. She was not happy about him telling her either. But what really amazed me were the comments calling the biker a douche, and worse just because he told her. Those idiots didn't seem to comprehend he probably saved her life, and the lives of those she would have killed when her car went skidding on the first corner she went round.
Thank you! Practical, to the point, no BS, BRAVO!
Man I love this. It was really helpful. Please keep on sharing.
This is my first time watching your videos and this first bit of advice is a little troubling to me, about steam cleaning under the hood. I have a Karcher Kerosene fired steam cleaner that I bought about 20 years ago. I've been steam cleaning under hoods longer ago than when I bought it. I've had a couple problems with components getting wet and causing a problem but I've never blown out an electronic component. After drying out the culprit, everything was working the way it should. I've been a technician/mechanic over 40 years and I have experienced a myriad of electronic glitches but not because of steam cleaning. I have to say, everything you mentioned in the rest of the video I agree with 100%. I'm subscribing, liking, and I'm gonna tap on the little bell, I would like to watch more of your videos, they are very informative for many who are just getting started with owning/maintaining a vehicle. Thank's for sharing, Scotty. Best wishes.
Glad to hear it, thanks for the support👍
Bobby Tucker I spray wash my engine a couple of times just have to be quick with your strokes and not get up close and personal
I work for a detailing company at a local chevy dealership. We're supposed to power wash under the hood of the new cars. Never had a problem till I tried it on my own car which is a 94 Buick Lesabre. It ran horribly and was misfiring very badly for days. After that I never power washed under the hood of any car ever again. Like you said there's really no point.
John A - that's because you got the ignition system wet. Wd-40 would have helped. Pop the distributor cap loose and you would have seen moisture due to condensation inside the distributor cap. All you had to do was dry it out as best as you can with paper towels. Dry off the rotor and all inside the distributor as well. Then make sure it doesn't have any small pieces of paper towel inside blow it out good then just spray a short blast or 2 of wd 40 inside and snap it back onto the distributor. All should be good after that.
FYI, that drying technique can be applicable to many cars that have distributor style secondary ignition systems, but not with his '94 LeSabre as it has a distributorless secondary ignition system (DIS) using crank and cam sensors to trigger it. So what he could've done was dry off (and spray WD-40 on) the coils and ICM assembly, as well as the spark plugs and spark plug wires and see if it would've helped or not.
Why power wash under the hood of a new car? Its all new!
Mark G
Because the question is, when is “new” no longer “new”?
DUH..You do cars??
Distributor or plug cables wet. Modern cars have coil per plug, no problem.
instructive and funny as always, thanks Scotty.
I love your videos quick and to the point
Scotty,
Cleaning an engine bay is not difficult or dangerous and makes other maintenance easier. It also makes the source of fluid leaks easier to find.
Also, you don't have to use much water (or any at all) if you're worried about ruining electronic parts. That said, electrical connectors on modern cars are pretty impervious to water and ECMs and other electrical components are usually pretty well protected. Engine bays get soaking wet when you drive in the rain, so some low pressure spray or steam is very unlikely to cause any problems.
I washed my engine bay last summer with a garden hose and was careful to avoid electronics. I ended up getting a bit of water on some conduit that protected a wire harness. The water sat inside the conduit and corroded one of the wires a few months later. It took many hours to diagnose and fix the problem.
Exactly...Im a 35 year auto master tech and have pressure washed tons of motors upper and underside to remove years of gunk and muck to try to pinpoint leaks...granted you have to smart at what you are doing.
Yeah ok tell me how that went
I've done it several times no problem. I had a valve leak and had to replace the gasket, so I covered up critical electronics ( for example distributor) and washed away no problems, the car started up just fine.
Yeah, if you do it right, it will not ruin anything and it will look really good to other people
What about leaf blower superchargers? I hear those are great! Haha
Myth Busters did it!
Thanks your videos are so helpful keep up the good work.
Thank you for the lesson! It is very useful!
my car fell on top of me how do i fix this
bryant buelow have someone jack it up, but really, how are you typing this question?
Scotty Kilmer I let him use my phone so he could ask you.
+Kyle Smith :DD
I hope the car is ok.
Lift up your car by the roof rails.
Love the way Scotty does his videos in short bursts which keeps the video interesting instead of droning on like some do.
Really enjoyed your videos Scotty, such great down to earth advice with a touch of humour, keep em coming. Its 01:30 in the morning now in the UK bit I want to watch some more hahaha. You are the dude!
You are the man. I am a 70 year old woman who has maintained my 2001 SC1 Saturn up until 5 years ago. I wish I had found your site then. I still investigate before I turn my car over to someone to work on it. There are a lot of dumb and expensive mechanics out there. Keep these post coming. I am a huge fan.
Yea i wish Scott was my father as well he seems like a really cool guy
I'm scared of Scott, but I agree that he's cool and makes great vids - I'd defo go to him for car service. LOL!!! ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
i did antifreeze in the glass wiper once, it was fine... another time i forgot to put the engine oil cap back after changing.... wasnt okay
My car has a protection shield inside the valve cover specific for this reason. Well my car is a beemer that's why.
Anti freeze in the wiper system will rot your cars body, but won't damage important engine parts because its not connected to the engine.
Y tf would you do that? Also, don’t double ring the oil filter. The rubber gasket that’s attached to the filter sometimes latches on to the engine instead of the original filter due to the torque put on it. It stays on the engine and if you take it off and put a new one on with the old one still there, boom. Niagra falls. Only it’s not water, it’s dinosaur oil.
Always enjoy watching your videos!
Great video, straight to the point, no sugar coating with just enough of layered common sense and the look-a-like Dennis Hopper gives it a cinematic appeal, but I kept waiting for something dangerous to happen, ha, ha.
i once ran my Ford Capri for over 100 miles with the temp gauge at the top, i was in a real hurry and i honestly i don't know how it didn't melt a piston or blow a headgasket, this was over 10 years ago and to this day the engine runs like a champ
obviously you have a guardian angel...
"You don't eat your lunch there." Gotta admit, I laughed at that one. It's a good analogy though!
Seriously, everyone who purchases a vehicle, whether it be new or used, should be forced to sit down and watch videos like this. People's ignorance and lack of care for their vehicles absolutely astounds me sometimes. But hey, if it started and it moves, everything must be A-OK, right?
sometimes it is excesive , a friend owns a 2007 corolla, and he called me saying that he will pick me up at my house , when he arrived i got in the car and noticed that the temp meter was in the H, and he told me so relaxed that it has been like that all day..... omg
Yeah, I sooner take a damp rag and rub those dirty parts, rather than steam clean them... soon find some kinda grease cut or to put on a rag.. much safer.
loving these videos gunna watch more on my lunch break!
Always good, solid advice. Thanks.
Your a good man trying to help people. 💯👍🏼😊
He is a real genuis
Enjoyable and informative.... thanks!!
I absolutely love watching these videos Scotty.
That air pump is awesome! I need to get me one of those :)
He got a Husky at a Lowes???
I luv this guy 👌💯🖒
+Dirk Diggler thanks for the support👍
Thanks Scotty for the tips. Most I knew, but learned about tire pressure (at home vs driving) today
And this is why I liked and subscribed. Good job.
Idk Scotty that tornado vortex thing seems pretty legit
Ikr it's so tempting to still buy stuff like that, even tough Scotty says it doesn't work. Those products have such shiny letters and covers (L).
lmao
for people who have money burning a hole in their pockets, a sucker is born everyday. While you are at it you might want to upgrade you headlight fluid.
Guy Garic lol you're joking, right?
Guy Garic we put one on the dyno it done just like we thought ZIP.
I don't steam clean the engine bay, but I hose it down every now and then to get all the road salt off of my car.
and NEVER use 'SuperClean' on the engine. I used it on mine, and my 5 year old engine immediately looked 30 years old! 😡 It corroded everything aluminium.
You are helping me so much. I'm on my first car and it's a 99 crv. I check your channel everyday. Thanks man
Thanks for sharing this good tips man.
when i was 16 I filled the radiator on my 50cc 2 stroke motorcycle with engine oil... oh how we all laughed
Zak Farley boi
Zak Farley What happened
Malaquias Alfaro the water-pump was well lubricated
Zak Farley Yeah dude, I tried to replace radiator and removed condenser instead.
Half asleep, gonna do some work for a friend's sister. Went out, opened the cock to drain the oil, did so, changed the oil filter and was amazed how much oil came out, then put in the right amount of oil.
That was the first automatic transmission I'd ever seen with a drain cock on it.
I have a 2003 Vw Jetta. & The Car immobilizer is on my car won't turn on what can I do! :(
try to find another known good key and pray it works. If not, it's rip off VW dealer time, or try to find a locksmith who can do VW immobilizers, some can these days
I just switched the steering wheel and nothing. I tried programming the key and nothing. I don't know what it can be! :(
Unplug the battery and turn on one of the car in lights until all energy in the circuits is gone then hook it back up and pray it works.
buy a older car they dont have a immobilzer truely
Thanks Scotty! These are great tips!
Great video! Great help !!
I have a 2009 GMC truck with a 5.3 in it. I purchased a coachmen camper that weighs 10,000 lbs. I thought since my bf is a truck driver he would do better than me, so I let him drive. He put the truck in cruise. While going up hill the engine his the 6 while searching for a gear. I yelled at him to stop it and to hit the brake. He laughed at me. He did then hit the brake, but again put it in cruise control, while telling me my truck was meant to handle it. Again, the truck redlined and next thing you know the alarm is sounding and it lost oil pressure. He pulled over and the engine was really hot. When it cooled down it did start again, but sounded terrible. There was oil in the engine and it did regain pressure. When I took it to my mechanic he said that my boyfriend pretty much ruined my engine and I had to get another. I am at a loss. My boyfriend says he wasn't the one that ruined my engine. He claims that it was only at 4 and just looked like that. My grown son was in the back seat and he says he saw him redline it too. My boyfriend did offer to pay half for the engine, but he refuses to accept any responsibility for the demise of my engine. He also says, since it was still running that it wasn't officially blown and that I could have gone a long time that way. My mechanic says no. He says I would have ended up stuck on the side of the road at any time. Help. Can you please give me the answers? I did put a different engine in. I would NEVER think of using cruise control while pulling a trailer. I am almost thinking that my boyfriend did this on purpose, although I'm not sure why.
find another boyfriend, he knows not what he does. NEVER use cruise pulling a trailer
Maybe in the owners manual it says not to pull anything that weighs 10,000 pounds.
"When I took it to my mechanic he said that my boyfriend pretty much ruined my engine and I had to get another."
I think the mechanic was talking about your boyfriend here.
Dump that plonker before he wrecks your life not just your emgine
86 that wanker !!
Can u be my dad ?
Hellosupman lmao
Hellosupman skotty reminds me of my dad they have very similar years of experience being mechanics skotty being 3 years ahead at 49 going to be 50 years in November and my dad at 47 years as being mechanic.
See we Do Need our Dad's!
Lmfao
A Husky at Lowes? That must be a lost Eskimo Husky..
Thank you Sir! for the helpful information.
Great tips like always!
Hey Scotty, my dad replaced a piece of brake line on his 1996 honda accord. No ABS. When the line failed, he used power steering fluid in the braking system. No damage at all. Now here's my problem, when my dad replaced the brake line, he cut some corners and didn't flange the lines. Now the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and the car isn't even stopping hard. There must be a leak in the lines because the brakes are very soft. How do I fix the soft brakes without bleeding them constantly? P.S. This will be the car I will drive till I can buy my own. And one more question, when you replace the brake rotor and brake pads at the same time as with my minivan, do I have to bleed the brakes after replacing the rotors and pads, as it says in the instructions?
you don't have to bleed the brakes to change rotors and pads, BUT odds are there is air in the system now making the pedal go down and not stop fast. Realize you should start there. if it was leaking at a line, you would see fluid gushing out there when you slammed the brakes on.
There is no fluid coming out. My dad fixed the line, but didn't flange the line. And once that line got fixed, another piece of line failed. He did flange the second leak. The master cylinder has been replaced, bleeded, and the lines bleeded. Now after like 5 months, the pedal goes ALL the way to the floor and not even stopping. I will be driving this car when I get my permit. Would the permanent solution to the brake issue is spend 200 bucks on brake line and fittings and replace all the line or since the car has 228000 miles and needs a tune up, catalytic converter, oxygen sensors, brake rotors and pads, one new caliper since the bleed screw on that one is rusted in the caliper and some small things. Should I get rid of it or I should just put a carburetor on it, weld on a 50 dollar universal cat on and it should be fine right? The car successfully traveled 650 miles with 10 year old spark plugs and wires, no injector cleaner, original fuel filter never replaced, and doesn't burn any oil, it just leaks a bit.
Peter Kapica you need to get a double flare on your brake lines or they can fail at any moment. Using a double flaring tool is tricky. The best bet is to buy brake lines of the right length with the flares already on them, then bend them yourself.
I don't know what you mean with "fix the line". Brake lines cannot be fixed, they need to be replaced.
A 1996 car shouldn't have brake lines going bad, why did it fail?
Why or how would you put a carb on a '96 accord?
I don't think you know anything about cars. You should just take it to a reputable shop for diagnosis & repair.
Yes I do know about cars. First of all, he did replace the piece of brake line and only flared one of the line. The first leak he used a hacksaw blade. Then the second time he did it right. I don't know why it failed suddenly but I think it's just old brake fluid with some water absorbed and the lines rusted. I told him not to put old fluid in, but didn't listen to me. And I don't think you know that people actually converted fuel injected v8s to a carved v8. It might make more power than a fuel injected one because that's how it was originally tuned. And all you need to do to convert fuel injection to carb is take the fuel rail off, install low pressure fuel pump, remove air box, put air cleaner on carb, then put carb on intake manifold. Works best with cars with a distributer ignition systems. Type into UA-cam Redneck efi to carb conversion and you'll see it's possible.
Peter Kapica dumb
I know someone who put washer fluid in his radiator...I cringed when he told me.
+LazyEyeCrazyI Washer fluid in a radiator works great as a emergency temporary coolant in the winter time. Washer fluid is a better alternative than water because it won't freeze, it's cheaper than antifreeze, and you can use it as a temporary fix till you can make repairs. I haven't use it in awhile because I haven't any radiator problems lately, but the 4 to 5 times I have used it I have never had a problem. The main issue with using washer fluid is it doesn't have a rust inhibitor in it. Performance wise it's no different than filling your radiator up with water in the summer.
Raymond Johnson
True, but this guy didn't know any of that. He was just dumping fluids into random ports..
Hey next time tell him to check his headlight fluid
Lol i bought a chevy impala while ago and when i got it i noticed the previous owner put oil in the coolant overflow tank...
It would have to be winter -20 washer fluid for it not to freeze.
Hey Scotty, Love Your Style! Thanks!
Thanks sir scotty for the infos and ways on doing DIY on cars.. salute u sir..
my girlfreind put diesel in the gas tank once.
Did you tell her she belongs in the kitchen?
+Sarah Honey of course. but she cant cook either. i asked her once why did the chicken cross the road?, she said why, i said because YOU DIDN'T FUCKING COOK IT.
That was such a stupid joke but I still laughed Shakejuntlife
+spoofer20 lol I Try I try and she got s one big cheek and one big boob so I guess thats something
+shakejuntlife I am no longer with her sad to say I am a child of a God now.
Adding...
-Uncessary Camber
-Cut springs
-Low profile tires
-Deep dish rims
-back seats removed
-straight pipe cut mufflers
-painted headlights and tailights
-An intake you car doesn't need.
The list goes on, mainly people do this all the time.
which is considered bad
+Cesar Cantu all of that except for the painted lights (which I've never heard of before) are all weight reduction and mods that will be beneficial for drifting... I assume by the fact you said not to do these, you've never actually drifted before, I recommend it
WontonGames I would love learn how to drift but I checked out some keiichi tsuchiya videos. Its obivously about drifting and touge.But what I'm talking about is what people do to their cars in a dumb modification it doesn't need.
The funny thing is most cars don't require mods to drift. The new 2017 Ford Focus ST that car was easy to drift without traction control. And lets not forget Tesla, they created a car that can simply drift with that same switch. Any car can drift as long as you know how to control the output of th turns.
Most cars don't need "Camber" there are more ways to adjustment your cars handling from Caster, Toe and Ackerman.
Thanks again. Great video.
Love your introduction before job work!
What would be a safe rpm to push a stock chevy 350 to?
5500 rpm
Scotty Kilmer Thanks

Hey this guy might have a nut loose in his head too, but it doesn't seem to be affecting his mechanical knowledge. Some sound advice here for noobs like me.
Tampanda If you are a noob, how do you know if other peoples advice is correct?
Holy fucking shitballs! We have an expert on the subject right here folks. Never underestimate the stupidity of your fellow Americans. I'm pretty fucking sure this video will help most of 'em out.
here's some sound advice for a noob from a mechanic; REV UP YOUR ENGINES!
Wow! Thanks for the air tip for my tires; I never knew about those!
Never stop, I love these.
i was hoping he would spray brake cleaner in his face lol
LOL
HipsterBot been there, got it in eyes, 2 out of 10 would not recommend.
Number 1 Use a STEAM washer to clean your engine NOT A JET washer, There two different tools which one is safe to use the other is not....
Stepdad paid a dude that supposedly does mobile car cleaning to do all 3 of our cars (mine, stepdad, mum). The idiot that came out sure enough had a jet washer and cleaned out the insides of the wheel arches, the hub and everything. Stepdads vauxhall insignia survived. Mums mitsibushi shogun (big family, needed the extra row of seats yet people carriers we looked at didnt have space for cargo etc once you put 7 people in, shogun did) almost survived if not for the idiot managing to scratch the side of the car somehow. My vauxhall corsa was almost pronounced dead on the scene, I went to drive it after he left and found dashboard lights randomly coming on or off, one of the indicators going of its own accord and it not wanting to start, open the bonnet and sure enough every single surface in that engine bay is soaked. Car once pushed into sunlight and left with the bonnet open eventually dried out but the right indicator didnt work still and needed a garage repair. Scratch repair + damage to car electronics came to £650 I think in the end from a moron and a jet washer.
SixSixSevenSeven huh? whats the problem with cleaning the inside wheel arches with a jet washer?
I wouldnt have thought there would be an issue normally, but somehow the bloody wanker managed to soak my entire engine.
Yes, there is a big difference between a steam washer and a pressure washer.
You can use a pressure washer on certain parts of the engine, BUT avoid all the electrical wires, fuse boxes, throttle body, air filter box, and drive belt pulleys (belts might squeal after that). Basically, avoid the top of the motor. I had tranny oil flicked all over a bottom area of the engine and tranny from a failed transmission output shaft seal, and a pressure washer helped, at least what I could reach with it. I'll still have to crawl under the car when it isn't winter to clean up the rest with some degreaser.
i use hot soapy water in my pressure washer for cleaning engine bay. never had problems and works great. Pressure washer is a great tool
Great video scotty,keep it up.🤗
Great advice on the overheating! I have climbed mountain passes in stages with the heater on, pull over, let it cool down, go some more, and once over the top, hit the first parts store I can find. We had a bunch of non-trained mechanics back home, and they would just dump standard 80/90 in the LS rear end, and we were buying clutches all the time. I went to using GM LSD gear oil, and never had another LSD clutch pack go bad.
So in your standard logic your toyota isn't any good as it has a computer, right?
+egi75 all cars are full of computers, even my old 81 corolla had computer components.
Scotty Kilmer Oh boy, that was totally wrong. I dare you to find a computer in a Chevrolet made before 1985. Find a computer in a 1992 or older VW diesel, or any air cooled VW. There are lots of other cars too.
BoostAddict lots of pre 85 chevy vehicles have electronic ignition. Thats a computer technically.
+BoostAddict Chevrolet Camaro and Corvette from 1982-1984 with Cross Fire Injection have a computer and all the fuel injection sensors to go with it. TPS, Oxygen, etc. So do Trans Ams.
+Wayne S. All GM cars after 1976 have electronic ignition that is technically a computer chip. Takes the place of points.
Priceless. Thanks!
great guy , great advice
Go Scotty! Long time follower, great 👍 videos
I love have to say I appreciate your videos. Simple thank you! 😉
Scotty. You are very energetic and good teacher. You have a lot of knowledge about maintenance.
This dude...on top of being a honest good mechanic, is funny as heck! Very informative, and I do very much enjoy watching this old school southern style video editing! Keep it up!
New subscriber Scotty, thanks for sharing...
I love this man. That's all I can say. I have watched over 30 of his videos here and there and he's right on the things I know, and I learned some things too. Love, love the way he does his videos and highly entertaining! :)
Dropping the tail gate at the end was the best thing I’ve ever saw on UA-cam.YOU RULE SCOTTY!!
Great info!
Good job man keep it up
The part about buying your own little air compressor instead of going to the gas station -brilliant! I never knew how affordable and easy those air compressors were. Thanks Scotty!
Great advice on all points! Most cars today are ready to give you their best performance, mileage and safety when they roll off the showroom floor. Changing one of those three things upsets the balance of all the others. Enjoy what you bought, our new 2017 Explorer with Ecoboost rocks and gets good gas mileage, plus is super. Ask it to climb a hill or pass a car it puts you back in the seat. Just treat your cars like the man says and you will be a happy camper.
Hey Scott you and Chrisfix should do a build video together. Having both of you as neighbors would be great. Good videos keep them coming
Dude you are superb. Please never stop.
I gave up driving about 10 years ago. I watch this guy because he puts the fun back into cars.
Great video!
Scotty. You are really helpful. I like your videos and you are very energetic. 😁
Scotty is a excellent A plus mechanic and a entertainer. Love the videos Scotty keep them coming.
Watched some of your videos and found them to be quite good and direct. Unlike some people who do videos and cant take constructive feedback. Agree, best mech is by referral, which is why I keep getting more work I can handle......even though I am not a mechanic.....lol.....Keep up the good work.
Very useful video.
Excellent advice
Simple Tips that save a lot of money, thank you very much.
