2003 toyota corolla basic tune up

[@911mykid]

I do recommend you do only one thing at a time. That way if anything goes wrong, you know exactly what part you changed, that would cause issue.

[@toonmag50]

A very nice and unrushed video. I was changing the brake fluid every few years as you tube suggests, but a mobile mechanic that I had to employ, laughed when I told him. He said this habit is a recent development encouraged by brake fluid makers to sell more oil. My previous car went 200,000 miles and ten years without any interference with the brake fluid. This car died when the timing chain flew off.

[@MARCELOOLIVEIRA-lg2gv]

the problem is the humide weather can go to the oil

[@jamesgomez9185]

Oh no! That really hurts....don't use power tools on spark plugs.

[@ChrisBlagdonIsABoss]

yeah... yikes

[@madrepityu]

Looks like you tore the rubber pipe which goes to the PCV valve when you pluged it back. Look closer at 15:47

[@Bob-tw4eb]

Very helpful, but would it kill you to use a funnel?

[@rbo350]

the spark plugs I will only tighten by hand, easy to strip the aluminum head and hard to fix, and I would not drain the master too far you might get air in the lines especially if you have abs, I didn't see if you bled the brakes.....overall good video

[@stevemccooleq]

Agree, never use power tools to install plugs into a modern day (aluminum) head...not worth the risk to save 60 seconds.

[@stevemccooleq]

He wouldn't have broke that little plastic rail that holds the coil connectors if he would have removed with a hand tool.

[@Bob-tw4eb]

Yeah I noticed that too witht he power tools, shouldnt use it replacing the spark plugs.

[@NorthernRailsTrainsInTheNorth]

Ya power tools shouldn't be used at any point during a spark plug job. Ask anyone who's sheered a spark plug in the head how much of a fun time it is to fix it...lol

I have 2003 Corolla also. For PCV, I also replaced the 2 hoses.

[@sandukanec]

You put the cabin filter the wrong way. The arrow should point down, not up. Also when you put new spark plugs it is a good idea to turn counter clock until it clicks, then tight them. That way they are not going wrong on threads. The spark plugs from the factory are Denso, yes, but NGK are okay if they are made for this engine.

[@regal953]

May I say to you that he placed the cabin filter arrow away from the blower, towards the wind flow, isn't it correct?

[@DougHinVA]

your opinion may be right or not... because it is your opinion it can still be wrong. The directions from the manufacturer are what to follow...

[@reymonti5504]

cabin air filter goes with arrow pointing down

[@kingpin1118]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Definitely saving some time with that ryobi

[@mkphotofilm]

Do not tighten your spark plugs like that! Do it by hand, or you risk fusing the plugs to the cylinder head. You have been warned.

[@KaiMagee19]

I can see how using a drill like that can f it but he's just getting them 90 percent on and cranking them tight by hand, can't be that bad unless you snug em with the drill you know? Or am I wrong? Please let me know

[@mkphotofilm]

@@KaiMagee19 i didn't notice he finished by hand. As long as you don't get too trigger happy.

[@kevinlatham5661]

engine cold, remove and replace one plug at a time, no empty plug holes for stuff to fall into.insert new plug on length of fuel pressure hose and start plug with finger pressure then torque up as usual, no risk of cross threading.

[@JammyCrackcorn]

What a great video…Thanks for showing this!!

[@simonmasson3925]

Great video? He didn't even put the cabin filter the right way.

good job

[@RacoonzTV]

How did you bleed the brake fluid?

[@erwinmelgar9575]

You don't put anti sieze on your plugs? Also electrical grease on your ignition coils? And I wouldn't use a rattling gun for that aluminium block, just hand tools.

[@nocomment8621]

Some already come pre coated from factory

[@edwardlopez114]

This was good but should have included replacing ignition coil boots . Those go bad over time also .

How can you tell if a boot is bad?

El filtro de habitáculo lo has metido al revés, las flechas esas no indican la parte superior del filtro, indican el flujo de aire que es descendente. Has partido un trozo de carcasa de bobinas por desmontar bruscamente con la taladradora. No has limpiado los recintos de bujías antes de desmontarlas. Montas las bujías bruscamente con taladradora y no usas llave dinamométrica. Poco fino a la hora de trabajar.

Wrong plugs; stay with Denso iridium and change every 100K

Even on the 2006 XRS?

[@TheLokoViejo]

@@carloscrod_ iridium is the way to go

[@chocolate_squiggle]

Some people are just fanatical. My 2002 Corolla (same model) explicitly states Denso OR NGK. So it's not just Denso only. I'm sure those Autolites are probably fine, it's not a race car it's a Corolla, and they're easy to get to. My manual, at least, says nothing about having to use iridiums. At least this car is being maintained at all which is better than some.

[@sammieuyere211]

Is it advisable to add water to the coolant? I've seen this being done and also do it when my coolant runs low.

[@ponyotran2996]

Yes i think it should be fine, i also do the same thing to my car when is low on cooling.

Check you brake reservoir, the float might stuck on the botton that why your brake light is on. Just he it couple time and it will come back up.
