First off, love the show. I know it’s kinda fun and funny when the “rules” are broken but it’s been multiple times over 2 seasons that it’s not even been close with the target price. Enthusiast watching the show like myself like to see what deals are out there from experts like you guys, not 30k Tesla’s or 100k Ferraris. 3 cars under 30k is an awesome idea and so far, oddly enough Ed is the only one that’s managed that.

The Lexus valve cover gaskets. The oil leak at the valve cover gaskets can be the result of at least three things. 1. Over pressurization of the crankcase due to excessive cylinder blow by. 2. Stuck pcv valve. 3. Bad valve cover gaskets. 1,000,000 miles would cause blow by. 25 plus years would cause degraded gaskets. Still have to admire a 1mil mile car that still runs and drives fairly well. Won't start..."you probably should just take it to a scrap yard". Best repair advice ever!

Regarding the ABC suspension, I would just replace the one leaking strut, all the accumulators (including pulsation damper), the ABC filter, and inspect the ABC hoses for any chafing or damage in the transmission tunnel area. This should be doable for around $3000 USD by an independent mechanic, $2500 if you use a reman ABC strut from Arnott. Spend another $800 or so parts and labour doing valve cover gaskets, motor mounts, and transmission mount. The W220 should then be good to go for under $4k. You don’t need to replace everything on ABC if one part fails, it’s only an issue where continuing to drive with faulty parts can cause other parts to fail. You don’t need to replace the pump if it’s pumping fine and not making noise or leaking. You don’t need to replace struts if they’re damping fine and not leaking. Accumulators are an inexpensive wear item, so I would replace those, and a bad accumulator would be the cause of the warning light over bumps. I’ve owned two ABC-equipped CL classes, and love the suspension system. It handles way better than Airmatic. It’s not too bad to maintain either if you understand the system, keep on top of preventative maintenance, and fix little issues before they become big ones.
@littlejackalo53263 жыл бұрын

@sultanqasim3 жыл бұрын
@@littlejackalo5326 No, I said $2500-3000 to fix the suspension depending on whether you use a new or aftermarket rebuilt strut to replace the leaking one. Valve cover gaskets, motor mounts, and the transmission mount are all simple repairs with relatively inexpensive parts, so I estimated an independent mechanic should be able to fix those around $800. Even if you need to replace a suspension bushing or two, the necessary repairs for the car to be reliable and comfortable transportation can be done for under $4k US. The M113 engine and 722.6 (5G-tronic) transmission are very reliable units. As for gizmos like massage seats and soft close doors, I don’t know if they work in this car, but the car will transport you just fine even if they’re broken.

Not much of a car guy myself. But I don't know why I love watching these videos so much. Loved this series. Feels like It's a perfect mix of information and fun. Just pure entertainment. Keep these videos coming. Love from India

First off, I absolutely love the Car Treck series, so much fun! Secondly, sorry to disagree with Ed and Tyler, I would most certainly love a (nicer) LS400 and a Supra (although I like the Mark 3 version better) in my garage! Now, I could tolerate the Mercedes and Porsche, but the Tesla and that other “thing” are a very hard “No”. I have owned multiple BMWs and still do but my favorite car to drive right now is a Toyota 4Runner with the venerable 2uz-fe. 😉

Had covid in October, and have a cold now. Seems like whenever I'm home sick there's Car Trek to watch. I don't watch a ton of YT, so when I have the time, I love catching up on these 3!

I love the CarTrek series....but it is pointless to have a budget if each season someone goes over it :p
@edwardjbarton3 жыл бұрын
I was going to say the same thing. This would have been a great series if they actually had to go buy the cars instead of pulling them out of their garages, buying them from friends, and saying "well, I get it for $1". Next we will see Riptide Blue back... And use the darn sponsor - Autotempest - to find the darn things. C'mon guys...

To be fair, when Top Gear did a budget challenge they never stayed within budget. They said they did, but they blew past it every time
@logicreversed18t3 жыл бұрын
I agree. I'm entertained, and I watch the episodes, but busting the budget isn't funny any more. This would be farrrrr better if they stayed in budget. Sure, maybe harder to film. It might impact the script, as the cheaper cars would be more likely to break and cause real, unscripted problems, but it would be better content. This trope will get tired fast, and they'll lose us eventually.

@@edwardjbarton I got my Supra from AutoTempest. You can see it in the reveal I did a few years ago. All of us, other than my Lexus which was personally given to me, have used AutoTempest for purchasing and finding cars.
