Very good guidance. That last bolt is almost impossible to find without some to show you, a scope or a good manual.

Just wanted to thank you for the video. Changed my LH mount in about 2hrs and lots of water in the Texas heat! Only thing I did different was to remove the steering shaft first and didn’t have to remove the support beam. Just carefully jacked the engine behind it. Otherwise, went step by step with your video.

I HAVE A 2010 FUSSION WITH ABS OPEN LOOP PROBLEM, FORD SAID NO RECALL!

@tacoman6720 Ай бұрын

go to the ford website and type in your VIN, there is a list of "recalls" and then a list of what they call "Customer Satisfaction Programs." Ford really fucked people on this as they never notified anyone about it as it wasnt a "recall" so you basically have 15 years to get it fixed. I just found out about this and my car is out of the 15 years so they told me to go pound sand. you're car should qualify but you have to use the secret phrase "Customer Satisfaction program" and mention the "Hydraulic control unit one-time repair"

@excelsiorautoservices 6 күн бұрын

It was a TSB that should have been a full blown recall. I don't know how many Fusions I bought at the auction that had front end damage due to this problem.

Total noob question, but does this apply to all VW cars? I have a Fox from 2005 which gives me the 2279 error code now. When I accelerate I can clearly hear a whistle from the engine room.

@malikbonnicksen5510 4 ай бұрын

And basically it idles a bit rough but not nearly as much as the one in the video. But the EPC light turns on mid drive and it goes limp and it usually seems like it's when I'm going at a steady pace and not accelerating.

What brand was the second alternator? New or reman? I would only trust a new or reman Denso brand, the original equipment supplier for Toyota. I used to trust Bosch, but I recently installed a defective Bosch reman starter in a Honda Accord. My 2008 RX350 appears to be on the verge of needing its first alternator replacement at 135k.

Hey, is this your personal car? If so, did you replaced the engine coolant pipe? It’s a rubber hose that is notorious for breaking. They did a recall to replace it to metal. It’ll gush out oil when the rubber breaks!

Thank you for the instruction, and thanks for keeping it real! I loved your daughter photo bombing the beginning of the video and seeing your stool slip out from under your feet; both things I've actually experienced! The steering shaft made all the difference for me (2013 4x4 Avalanche). If I had done that in the beginning, I think I could have shaved off an hour or more from this job. Thanks again!

I'm not sure but aren't those bushings made of rubber? I believe something like Sil-Glyde would be better, or something silicone based, because they contain petroleum, which eats away rubber... And if you went that far, why not just replace the bushings? That one looks pretty squished. Thanks for the tips

This job was for a customer that was just trying to get by until pay day. We ended up redoing the job a few weeks later with the MOOG bushing and a few other components needed.
