Car Mechanic Simulator 2018 (PC) - Episode #5 - Pulling to the Right

[@a09ndy75]

Hi Squirrel a handy tip when doing an order is once you know what needs replacing a star appears next to the item(s) on the order summary if you click them it highlights where the part is in disassemble mode. And when hovering over a part or missing part you can right click and add to notes which then will appear on the shopping list in the stores. Really enjoying the series hope to see more :)

[@SakaGames]

A tip, the star next to the check mark or "x" on the part list shows exactly the position the replacement needs to be with a blue outline in examine mode. Very handy when only one spark plug or ignition coil is busted, the new or repaired part must be in the "broken" part's previous position. If the far left ignition coil is broken, the far left coil needs to be the one that is new.

[@JJScene]

Thank you so much for this tip you saved me.

[@kingnfs1]

"MYYYY GOOODDDDD SQUIRREEEELLLLLL YOU UTTER IDIOT" I screamed that when you buy the new timing cover, put wrong parts at wrong place and take-off the "ticked parts" and re-buy unnessary parts. lol

[@AM-12345]

u had brand new brake pads already and u re-bought them again and the reason it was not ticked in the car status its because u took them off and it un-ticked and then u re-bought the brake pads again lol

[@xanbell7723]

Just watching through this series all these years later and waiting for you to find the shopping list XD

[@edwardkay]

Yep same lol I'm watching then all as I bought the game on steam for £5 and just trying to learn all about it but I have found the shopping list and I'm waiting for him to find it too lol

[@Electricfox]

Recall helping my Dad with his Land Rover replacing the leaf springs with coils, and the rubber bushings on the drivers side were pretty much welded to the bolt, so we had to get a neighbours angle grinder, take the top off the bolt and then use a blow torch to burn out the rubber enough to knock the bolt through. Bloody nightmare in what was up to that point a relatively easy job.

[@killz4money]

I was laughing at how easy rubber bushings come out in this game. In real life they have a 99% chance of being an absolute torment that you have to take angle grinders / blow torches to - and that's just to get them out. Nothing said about getting them back in. Just like ordering parts - here you look for it, you click on it, and you have it. In real life you can spend hours researching which part will fit your car, then which part will not break within a couple of months (this means plowing through internet fables, horror stories, half-truths), and then you'll get it a week later and it's probably not even the brand you ordered in the first place... I guess I should ditch the youngtimer hobby and just get this game instead. ;)

[@AaronShenghao]

I don’t know about you guys, but I found it very amusing when squirrel messes up and waste money XD.

[@playerx240]

You should click the star next to the red x on the part it tells you to fix. It highlights the part it wants you to fix. It would save you so much time and money from having to 1. hunt down that part and 2. get frustrated and fix everything you dont need to.

[@TheBleachfan123456]

Bought this game last night and i still watch your walkthroughs.

[@AnonGolden]

Just as a tip, just click on the star in the list of parts you have to replace, it will highlight what you need to change. I had the same problem and i was just putting the new one in the wrong side of the car

[@jjp9992]

This helped me so much, Thank you

[@OzytheSage]

Try clicking the star next to unfinished parts in the car status menu. It'll help you determine which parts exactly you need to fix. Also, if you click the option in the top left of the pie wheel when looking at a part you can add it to the shopping list. Then when using the tablet/computer, click the button in the top right and you can just buy the parts from the list without having to go back and forth. You still have to search for the parts manually, haven't found a way to 'auto buy' parts. Finally, you need to be level 7 to unlock the next tier. You can see the level requirement at the bottom of the column.

[@Ozobsit6969]

Thats an i6 (inline 6) engine not 16 like a number

[@forevercomputing]

It DOES look like 16 instead of inline-6

[@MadHappyPlays]

it does a little bit look like a 1 but if you look close enough, you can see the I

[@looniegaming9419]

But still it IS an Inline 6B NOT a 16B

[@TallulahSoie]

Squirrel fixes parts is like Jezza. Hammers solve everything!

[@3xit116]

In the repair list, next to the tick or cross, there is a little star. If you click on that star, it will highlight the particular part you need to replace. Saves you the trouble of taking off all 10 rubber bushings if only 1 is broken.

[@thomasamorsen2119]

were im the only one who wanted to smash my head through a wall when he had problems with the brakepads and bought 4 brand new?

[@ashtonsova]

I really like this series!

[@faszikellemeszene]

I love this game so much

[@firzen3697]

Throughout I was thinking 'That car wont be driving for too long anyway'

[@shirishag75able]

hoping you will keep on doing the series.

[@madmac7773]

As an actual mechanic, i will say, replace front and rear components in pairs. If one side goes south, then the other side isn't far behind. One rotor and one set of brake pads, won't fly. Notice that ACTUAL brake pads come in pairs. LMFAO!

[@islamtanzil]

Please take note to what I'm about to say. Trust me on this. By following this you will save time and money in the game. As others have already mentioned, when given an order like this where there is a list of parts given that must be fixed, or you have found all faulty parts on the car, your best option is to first go to the shop and buy all of those parts (NOT ALWAYS REQUIRED. ALWAYS REQUIRED WHEN MINIMUM REPAIRED PART CONDITION IS 100%). Then begin disassembly of the parts from the car. In this instance, squirrel removed a total of 10 rubber bushings when the job requirements stated that only 8 needed to be replaced. What you should do is place a 100% condition bushing in the location of where one was removed. The next part is vital. YOU MUST ALWAYS CHECK THE REPAIR STATUS. Seriously. If you find this bushing ticked off, you have successfully replaced this part. However, if there is no tick, it means this bushing did not need replacement. You should then replace this new bushing with the old one. Continue going through the remaining 9 removed bushings until you have all 8 ticks. Another point. Sometimes there is no need to replace a part. Simply swap it with one from another part of the car with a percentage condition equal to or higher than the one stated in the car repair status. You can swap brake pads and callipers around the car. Remember to check the repair status for the ticks. Also, in this video, squirrel spent extra money buying 4 extra Brake pads, 2 extra Brake callipers and 1 extra ventilated brake disk. What went wrong was that squirrel looked back at the repair status and saw all of these unticked. This was because squirrel placed the new callipers he had bought in the location of the already good ones. He placed the old ones where the new ones were supposed to go. He then removed all of this, then saw more unticks. The reason for this is because the parts were not mounted on the car. Squirrel then bought all these parts again wasting more money. What should be done is as I said before: Buying all the parts at the beginning. This way you know if something is unticked, the reason is that it is simply in the wrong place. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I hope that at least one person can read this comment and benefit from it. It would help if squirrel could see this as the videos could be done quicker with less money wasted and more jobs completed in one video. What else can I say. Thank you for reading, Tanzil Islam

[@MutantToaster]

You helped me thx now I can save me some moolah

[@kiryukazuma88]

Hi squirrel! How you going, I've been a long time fan for years and I love your my summer car and car mechanic 2018 series, I have many games like you do, Ive got car mechanic sim 2015, ets2, train sim 17, project cars, almost every forza, I had flight sim 2002 and more

[@Breagle]

Squirrel, you made a bit of a derp because you removed the brake pads you already bought to replace the old ones. The game doesn't count the parts you have bought to replace the bad ones as "done" until you put them on. It marked the brake pads as being "not done" because they where not on the vehicle due to you removing them. You also already sold the old bad brake pads, so you bought more brake pads then you needed.

[@W.HiltonLimb]

Sometimes you have to swap the side that the brand new stuff is on, like say you put the brand new brake disc on the left sometimes it might want you to put it on the right (it's a glitch in the game)

[@Meckmester]

The 16 B you keep saying is actually I6 (i6) meaning it's a straight or an inline 6 cylinder engine. Don't know what the "B" is for though, maybe just something used in the game. You also have "V" for the engines with two banks of cylinders, and "W" for engines with three banks of cylinders joined at the crank. I've also come across some sites, people or magazines using "B" or "F" to refer to Boxer/Flat engines, where the banks of cylinders are horizontally opposed.

[@marcossalomon3865]

even a renault magnun is faster than the second car you fix kappa. i really enjoy the video and were pretty fun the video. keep with the owesome work.

[@samstears5772]

Squired if you use the stars in the job menu next to the parts it shows where stuff needs to go

[@astrosteve]

See those gray stars next to the part names on the repair bill? Click those and it'll highlight the part you need to repair. Makes it much easier to finish your repair job.

[@lorenzopappatico]

You didn't need to repair the timing cover, that's how to spend money uselessly... and minimum percentage condition is referring to ONLY the parts that need replacing, not all the car components in general. When you have that kind of problem with rubber bushing (or similar situations) you don't necessarily need to replace them, but simply take note of where the need-to-be-replaced part was and place there the new one and the worn-but-not-broken one where it wasn't broken to begin with

[@AM-12345]

he was just showing how to repair parts

[@BrandonStephensrs3guy]

You're correct. He could have just swapped the front brake discs and would have been fine. Same with the bushings but good luck remembering which ones needed the replacement afterwards.

[@66lwmorgan]

Absolutely agree, it's a frigging sim guys. Don't be so serious

[@anthonyfaulkes9047]

if u click on the star on the parts list, it highlights the ones that need replacing.

[@66lwmorgan]

I'll try it, thank you

[@bluubaloo]

If you have multiple of the same parts and one is faulty replace them all or you will have to remember exactly where the bad one was. Trust me i have made a killing off of buying parts that "don't" need replacing. You have to think out of the box not actual real world. love the videos!!! #Nutz #CMS18

[@lk8181]

It may have been a bug in the game as well because I noticed that the videos aren't using the newest patched version. I have a Sell Junk and Sell All button in the bottom of my inventory list. I agree with other commentors that clicking on the stars in the car notes list highlights the parts and really helps with some of the more complicated jobs. The flip side is those are pretty generic parts so having extra of those isn't bad since you will reuse them. Has anyone noticed if buying a tool creates more jobs where you can use that tool? Wondering if purchasing the tire tread tester would give me more tire jobs. Haven't had one since that early story job.

[@CristiNeagu]

If you need to repair, say, the FL brake caliper cause it's at 10%, while the FR caliper is ok at 80%, and you need a minimum part condition of 100%, buying a new caliper then mounting it on the FR, and the FR 80% one you mount it on the FL, it will obviously not count as fixed.

[@snapmoto1344]

Another great video keep it up really proud

[@CaydeSmax]

This video shows why you should do one area at a time not rip everything off at the start and then going for a logical refit in one area, also don't sell parts untill you've fitted them as that's how you ended up with new brake pads. The brake disc was 80% so on the wheel it came from it was fine but you probably put it on the 'wrong' hub, and since all parts replaced need to be 100% it wasn't acceptable. The brake pads should've been fine, so they might've bugged out.

[@twocvbloke]

If you click the Star next to the part name in the list, it'll highlight where it is on the car, saving the need to take things to bits trying to find a couple rogue parts... :)

[@abortedkitten]

Dammit Squirrel! How could you not hear me yelling through the video? You gave him a free timing cover. It wasn't on the list. You tried repairing it, well, just because. smh Another great video, my man.

[@EverythingK21]

It only gives you a green check mark when you put the item on the car

[@kcfacademy2496]

Story orders work a bit differently from regular jobs; they require 100% quality (brand new) replacement parts. Which means, particularly with parts that can be put in several places like bushings and brake components, you need to remember which ones needed replacing. Because those parts need to be 100%, you cannot put parts that are "ok" in those specific spots. Which can trip you up, because you will end up with parts in your inventory that are "bad", "ok" and "brand new". The "brand new" ones HAVE TO BE the exact part locations you discovered. An "ok" part will not work.

[@66lwmorgan]

Does anyone know of video that actually shows what to do from the beginning, how to buy parts, install parts etc. Example, at 2:16 what icon did squirrel click to bring up the car info. Then he goes to the lift, clicks once and the car raises all the way up. I can only get mine to go up a little then the second click lowers the damn car again instead of going all the way up. Every video I watch is clicking here, clicking there so fast and don't explain crap about what icons there hitting or explaining which each one does. These video's are great if you already know what to do.

[@andrew20195]

As a mechanic in real life, those rusted parts were too easy to come off. The game should require the old "blue tip wrench" to remove rusted parts.

[@jaskajokunen3716]

andrew20195 you also shouldnt be able to float trough the car.

[@krazy4baja]

Yeah, l did the same thing, lol on this job. I spent more money trying to figure out where I went wrong. I leant now to do one wheel at a time or at least one area otherwise I would forget where the part was that needed replacing, lol. So even if I buy all parts needed I will always double check where the damaged part was. This one job was an expensive lesson however I did make money but could have made more if I hadn’t got extra new parts installed. I love your vids by the way. Your a great streamer

[@CarnivorousVegan1]

You took the 100% brake pads off of the car, removing them from the list of completed parts. You then saw that they weren't on the list anymore, so you bought 4 more 100% brake pads, leaving you with eight.

[@michaelpierce826]

Yh u bought 4 more break pads didn't need to it's u took them of that's why it didn't tick

[@brantregare]

I am at 39:26. At the possible expense of restating the obvious, you were asked to replace faulty parts, under 55% with 100% parts. If you have a ventilated disk on the right that is faulty and a left front disk at nominal (55%) Then you need to replace the right front disk with a 100% part, you can leave the left alone. When you reassemble and replace the right disk with the 55% part and the right with the 100% part, you have missed your goal. All you really need to do is ensure the 100% part goes on the right (this one needed replacing) and the 55% part in the left (it did not need replacing.)

[@forevercomputing]

If it's red, it's the part that needs replacing. If it's orange - it's not that. He sold an 80% front disc. Bought 4x sets of new pads.... The job list goes to green when the correct part is fitted in the correct condition. Once that part is removed. It is not fixed and is a "remaining" job

[@vprjls102075]

If you played cms2014, one of the more irritating aspects of the repair jobs was that you had to repair specific parts to 100%. In cms2015 jobs rarely needed a perfect condition and you were told a specific percentage health that all parts had to be above to successfully complete the order. In cms2018 the job system uses both of these older requirements with the story jobs (blue highlight and no expiration time) using the older 2014 style so need to know or utilize the blue stars on the status page to highlight which parts need to be replaced; and the other randomly generated jobs (with an expiration timer) using the much more forgiving 2015 style where the replaced parts only have a minimum.

[@widxx235]

ah squirrel you have come up on the bushing fun you bought the right amount first time but you didnt put them back where the original broken one came from you have to put any new stuff back where the broken stuff was and if you are wondering where an unfixed issue is press the star it will highlight it on the vehicle

[@mitchlacher6466]

long time since you did this video but the disc issue maybe due to the difference in condition of the front discs. Seems to me they better closely match in condition to avoid pull during hard braking if the condition of each disc is very much different.

[@kraven4444]

I've only seen car mech 14 I think it was, but damn the graphics are nice on this one.

[@widxx235]

so amusing the problem is that if a part is broken when you replace it it has to go in exactly the same spot to be counted

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

i swap my parts around the 4 wheels and it worked, as long as it meets the requirements.

[@David_C_83]

You bought more brake pads than you needed but other than that, I think you pretty much had it except for the calipers and the ventilated disc. But as for the list growing, it grew because you started taking apart the parts you had already fixed, like the brake pads.

[@mitchelllake7627]

I played my way through this job and it took me way more time than Squirrel. It was an odd one..

[@liamclune8405]

It is i 6 b squirrel! Inline 6 for the type of engine not 16b. Great video keep up the good work :)

[@M4TRIX99]

Congratz with 555k subs Squirrel, although it's been a while I guess... Anyway keep up with the good content!

[@jonathansrum9685]

When you take off a part, it will pop up in the top right hand corner of the screen, with it's name and condition in brackets.

[@MrCoolbat]

is the mechanical fuel pump really labeled as thermostat in the game?

[@xandercunningham363]

MemeboySli

[@jean-marcrocher1463]

You couldn't select skills from the new column because that column requires lvl 7. The later skill perks keep skipping levels (they're labelled lvl 9, 12, 15, 20, etc.) so you have to select perks from previous columns.

[@kuba8718]

squrriel the parts that u need 2 replace have to be at least the condition of the customers request so for u don't always need 2 buy a new part

[@Pillock25]

In your opinion is this version different enough to warrant buying on top of the other two mechanic games.

[@boingleboeing]

i so love your intro

Oil filter needs to be changed from underneath because most of the time, oil will come out of it and you don't want to spill it.

[@armandorodrigues144]

frech news, PayWay (CMS publisher) as announced on steam «Tank Mechanic Simulator» "coming soon", there's already footage of it and everything

[@Pacodius]

I think a problem you ran into when you had only 3 things wrong then suddenly 6 was that you took repaired parts off the car. The game then sees that the item is not fixed because it's not there. At least that's what I think

[@user-md5tc4hf9x]

Look into Machine World 2 that game looks real nice!

[@juice4895]

They just released a patch to add in the Race track and Car salon, either you are running an old version of the game or your game is glitched.

[@andrewbaines8760]

The new parts must be put where the damaged parts were removed, also when you stripped parts off the car again they were not classed as repaired due to no part fitted

[@maharshipurohit5984]

I'am unable to put timing chain on the very same mission. I'am stuck on the same car due to it. If u can help how to do it?

[@Jay_Dee420]

If its any consolation the same thing happened to me.. one of most frustrating things for me about this game is the inventory management and the buying of parts, I think it would be easier if we were given a split screen at the computer with both inventory and shop rather than having to constantly switch between the two, I mean come you've gotta have a bloody good memory to remember all the parts you need, the parts list is also useless really unless you can access it in the shop.. also they should have the option to trade in used parts when buying a replacement that would make things much less confusing.

[@adamjackson4522]

it wants the good stuff in the right place you placed damaged parts where it wanted brand new parts.

[@johnturley6918]

It always throws up other parts to replace after you think you have finished when in story mode

[@PearDBear]

Why did you sell the yellow items? And the green caliper.

[@bigbadmower5283]

Hey squirrel what's ur opinion on this version of cms

[@NorthernUlvenKi]

Ok will there be a ep 6 of this serie? It's a 50/50 chance.

[@velopearson9370]

Can you do more my summer car they have updated it

[@imaginationplay3382]

it ticked me off how they call the fuel pump a thermostat on the i6 and out a eletronic fuel pump in the tank. they didn't evenhave eletraonic fuel pumps at that time.

[@ssgt3620]

It matters _where_ in the car the old parts came from and where the new ones go, that's just the way the game works (i.e. "part X on the front left is broken, so that _exact_ part needs to be replaced"). If the ventilated disc on the left of the car needs replacing you have to put the new one on _that_ side even though you can leave the old one on the other. If you put the new ventilated disc on the right side, and the old disc from the right side on the left side, the game will think you haven't replaced the ventilated disc on the left with a new part (although if the disc from the other side is above the minimum part condition it doesn't matter). The only way to be sure of where the new part needs to go is to replace the parts with new straight after you remove them (for the most part you can get away with only working on one corner of the car at a time but even then things like bushings might trip you up). That said, when working on real cars, you should really replace pairs of (i.e. left and right) discs/pads/axles/bushings/suspension parts at the same time anyway.

[@alberich3099]

Nice series love the simulator games, but could you "reverse" the playlist orders so one doesn't have to click through them but keep them running ;)

[@joshrosen6033]

It is fairly realistic to remove the oil filter from underneath, at least for the cars I've done oil changes in

[@joshrosen6033]

Mushroom man needs a new car

[@Aristoprat]

Squirrel, you might want to upgrade the game. You're on 1.1.4 and I think it's up to 1.2.0. There is now a "Sell All" and a "Sell Junk" button which are useful plus the sort by problem has been fixed. On that last job you fell foul of something I've noticed. As far as I can tell the items that require replacing are red, the yellow and green can be kept irrespective of the minimum replacement condition. You cannot replace a part marked for replacement with one that is not marked for replacement but is below the minimum replacement condition. For example, you replaced the duff left front disc with the one you removed from the right. If you had just swapped the discs over that would have solved the problem. For this reason I now fix each quarter (FR, FL, RR, RL) individually to avoid this problem, or at least minimise it. I regard the minimum replacement condition as the owner's aspirations regarding future replacement of the part - the higher it is the longer she wants it to last. I think you will spot the error regarding the brake pads but why did you sell the ventilated brake disc with 80% condition? That part would have been useable on future jobs.

[@hugon811]

love your intro

[@olihill5219]

affirmative oguH his video introduction is bare fire

[@JamesH321]

Its not 16, its I6 as in inline 6 cylinder

[@loubsher]

Yep he made the same mistake in 2 videos now where he puts the new part on the wrong place. but still likes his vids. I fix one wheel at a time not to get confused. Takes a bit longer but the job is done correctly without extra spendings.

[@xander44225]

THE Numbers in THE toolbox under is what level you Need to inlok that row

[@brianhoole4180]

from what i could see. it was a broken part location issue..... you was taking off multiple parts and losing the place of the broken part. so even though you replaced the broken part you put it in the wrong position. ive found that the game itself recognises specific positions for broken parts but dosent tell you what i do is if theres 4 parts. (pads) and 2 broken.... i just replace all 4.. you get xp from it and a profit anyways. you just have to have the money to purchase the part you get it back when the customer pays.

[@billysavage8674]

You have used your tablet squirrel

[@johnturley6918]

Hi Paul as you progress through the game you will see that the story mode jobs always throws other parts wrecked after you have completed the job so sometimes after you have replaced all the broken parts on the list the game will find something else you need to replace scumbag game as you would say.

[@richardg6983]

Afternoon

[@loganlandon3187]

U should have kept that 80% brake disc

[@kjemradio]

Squirrel have there been any patches to the game since you recorded this?

[@maniackillah8534]

yes is now on 1.2.0

[@thomjap1120]

Hey guys could anyone help me ??? I did the exact same thing as squirrel but when i want to put the tires back on it says that there are no parts to work with in the first story misson

[@operationyellowknife3721]

Are your wheels balanced?

[@thomjap1120]

Operation Yellow Knife yeah i already figured it out but thank you anyway

[@maniackillah8534]

You did something wrong indeed use the STAR icon in the repair list so you can see witch part you need to replace ps. and update the game :p

[@sotamies1990]

Silly squirrel, the I6 refers to the engine, meaning Inline 6, not 16

[@sexymanacez]

Yay! Another video!

[@Bergerboy1000]

I see how you got confused squirrel, whenever you took something off, the list got bigger, because it wasnt on the car, i dont understand why it didnt give the green orignally, but after that, you just kept taking parts off and re buying them, when you probably (not 100% sure) didnt need to.

[@Dormy69]

there was nothing wrong with the brake pads you took off the 2nd time, it came up as not done because you removed them

[@Crbn46]

hey squirrel! nice video! but i was wondering what mod packs i should get for euro truck, i cant decide if i want TSM and rusmap or if i want promods, do you prefer 1 of them? thanks :D

[@nesanmichael7040]

Do you need to have nvidia or can u use Intel hd graphics

[@BenjaminLWJ]

Nesan Michael intel hd graphics in the best gpu out there and can run everything at 500fps :)

[@eaveskc]

It was looking for a new disc on the front left, but you had it on the front right. Had you just swapped the two sides it would have fixed it. I think that is what stumped you on the last Car Mechanic play through, which was tires on a fake Jeep if I remember correctly. The list got longer because you were removing parts, therefore the new parts were not "fixed", which is what the check means. At the same time, I understand that while on camera, mistakes and oversights happen, which likely come to you as soon as you stop recording...
