Good video you guys made it look easy need to do this on my driver side door too thanks for posting

The other video I followed was from a German Guy, he removed the window and all stuft Damn Germans, you saved me a lot time with that bar nut method!

Thank so much, I ordered a new one and tried to install it a year ago, It eas tedious and I gave up, today I tried it again with your video and it took me hours but now working like a charm, all stuft in its place, thanks

Been working on my own cars for 4 decades and damn that's one of the niftiest tricks I've ever seen, top shelf

Hey Matt. Thanks for all your detailed videos, they are really helpful. I have a 2003 GT and I cannot find the battery hold down bolt. Can you tell me the measurements for the bolt so I can get a replacement? Thank you in advance.

Extremely helpful and informative. Thank you very much!

I have been driving since 1966. I have owned many classic cars. I own a 2004 PT Cruiser, Base Model with 5 Speed. My PT Cruiser had just over 97,000 original miles, when I bought it, and is in showroom condition. I love the dash configuration; the cabin has plenty of head room, (I am 6' 4"). I am impressed by the excellent overall fit and finish of this vehicle. Doors, Windows, Locks, are all made rock solid. The ride is solid, and quiet. The handling is tight and sporty. The 2.4 delivers excellent smooth power, and has a high redline limit, (But I rarely exceed 3,500 RPM). . My PT Cruiser has had its timing belt, thermostat, and water pump replaced, by previous owner. There has been no oil burning; and absolutely no coolant loss after more than 1,000 miles of driving, since I bought it. With a new set tires, no other repairs have been needed. The cargo room is impressive, and quite useful. It is a true mini cargo truck. My PT Cruiser was garage kept by an elderly couple. The Butter-Cream paint-finish is flawless, and after a hand/paste wax job, shines like new. This is a true collectable American Classic!

Oh man, I love this country type stuff!

Excellent tutorial dude! Thankful for you

One versatile vehicle!

Wish I/my shop could figure out why my battery drained this week not once but twice....she is sitting there now. electric shop said battery needed to be replaced and a few misc things but she was tested for a parasitic draw and he couldn't find anything. Drained over night now it's saying SKIM code which didn't show before...he is thinking the key could be the issue??

Matt, I’m watching all your PT videos for a second time because I just got my first one, a 2004 automatic with 80K miles. It would help immensely if I could email you directly occasionally, so would you consider giving me your email address? Question for right now - I saw in one of your videos that you used a small stainless steel wire brush about the size of a toothbrush. I’ve looked at a lot and never seen any like that. Any chance you have a link to that? Thx for your help!

Assclown. Weigh and document your color.

Already subscribed. I was just given a 2004 automatic woody with 80K miles. Owner had regular maintenance done and timing belt at 50K. I’ll be rewatching this video and making a checklist. Thanks a lot, Matt! 🔧👍

Great video well done thank you. What a great idea to use masking tape to remember oil change info.

is your expedition lifted? mine looks pretty low doesn't seem like i can get under there without lifting it up.

K&N WILL DECREASE ENGINE LIFE. I looked at those at the store, holding it up to the lights !!! HORRRIBLE BIG HOLES EVERYWHERE. REAL SLEAZY, THE OWNERS ARE. Use wicks or other quality paper filters. These washable only make since for racing. Tons of big grit does get past washables, incl k&n, afe, ect. Marine fighter jet gut o

You can also use a “pickle fork” or ball joint fork

Every other solenoid ive seen is just a small valve. Where is the pts solenoid? I want the actual solenoid, not a chunk of metal. How do i get to it?

So i got the chunk of metal out, but where is the actual solenoid????

Where. In. Alberta

HAHA while i agree with you somewhat... people forget the context of using filters..... with every test ive seen it comes down to two factors for use..... Turbo? Dont use a K&N.... no turbo? use a K&N.. this comes down to the density of the framing mesh and the cotton filter fibers. a turbo or supercharger will rip a K&N apart because they normally dont account for the higheer pressure at higher boost pressures. which will rip the fibers and oil off of the filter... which can cause below par filtration, and turbo run away..... (replace turbo with forced induction)

This was so helpful Matt! I wish you lived in Arizona I would have you fix mine! The video content was clear and educational. Thank you for posting! 😊

Nice Video and presentation. "just the facts" TY

You are going to get severely injured or worse if you keep using wood like that to put your can in the air. Good jack stands and jack is worth a lot less than your life.

I'm so proud of him!

so you put some oil in the oil filter before adding to the engine. did you subtract that amount from the full 4 liters before adding the oil into the engine?

Been using k&n for 6 years now from naturally aspirated to boosted and I can tell you this. My cars have always run better with k&n and minimal dust is like minimal play? Minimal dust particles is perfectly safe. Every car breaths in minimal very microscopic particles and it’s perfectly safe and unpreventable and these filters are made to prevent as much and minimize these particles. Give your mom her PT cruiser back you’re making a fool of yourself scotty

I'm still daily driving this car, over 20,000kms on these axles now and they are holding strong.

Is that header custom or did u order

!977 two door dk blue metallic with white partial roof, had wire wheels as well. Sharp car, and a nice ride

Bro, if you telling me about the car, make sure you give the full information. How much did you pay to fix it?

Thanks for all the contributions you've made. I found you though the Woodward FB page and really glad I did you really inspired me to chase my frankenstein car dreams

Neoru with Nash..... looking forward to the future content

Baby shit 💩🤮 green 👍

I had a yellow '77 LTD II sedan. 302, dark brown vinyl interior and top.

I’ve got a 98 that’s been sitting for a LONG time. Needs the fuel pumps replaced so I’m gonna go ahead and get the whole fuel sending unit assembly. But this video def helped me see how fairly easy it is. Thank you!

Ive heard that you also want to put the rear of the car slightly higher than the front as well as having the passenger side up a little, or you may get old stuff in the hoses and heater core.

The water that comes in that bottle isnt spring water either. Thats a lie. If you have it broken down by a lab, you will find its makeup is exactly like tap water.

Just here to troll. It's fucking ugly!

Um ya the tab breaks when you pull out the sensor with the tab closed. Lmao you broke it

I could also just google this and find out, but figured I would ask too: what is the point of using 5w-30 instead of the manufacturer spec?

I do have a 2001 pt cruiser and it does over heat I would love to have you work on it for me please if I could get you info and I will give you the job

Great vid i had to change the tipm and ecu in my sons worked great for about 6 months now im about to do this snd you made it easy for me to find all the ground spots so im not hunting for them

Tip: Undo and remove the upper strut mount bolt and only loosen the lower one. The steering knuckle/hub then can pivot to the exact angle of the lower control arm's ball joint grooved stud. Put a very small wedge chisel (or screwdriver) in gap of the pinch the bolt that holds the lower control arm to the ball joint stud. That makes it even easier. Make sure the groove in the ball joint is aligned to the interior of the car. Once you do that the ball joint stud will slide into the steering knuckle without the use of a jack, beating on it or using pry bars. And you can see the ball joint stud groove and move the control arm up/down a bit such that the pinch bolt just slides right in. I just did one. Had I known this info (versus figuring it out) the job would not have been difficult at all. If the knuckle/hub does not want to move inboard, then spin the disc because the half shaft has become disengaged with the transmission and once aligned (you can feel the gears) it slides in and out easy enough to do the fitment by hand. Also a good time to do the sway bar bolts (not really links on this car). Car drives like new. Appreciate your video and insights and the time you took to pay it forward. Hope this tip helps those doing the repair. Best of luck.

Thanks, Matt, my light just showed itself today, in my 2005. I was kind of expecting this as I am at 149,000. For now, I got the oil changed and will see if I can get that code. Shucks, she really scoots and I don't want to lose her.

Really good video they wanted 1336 for the suspension fix. Really was hoping you would show the back struts or suspension.

I have a 2006 PT and it won’t crank I’m going to get this a try.
