In this day in age, online reviews are a big factor on where people choose to shop. Report dishonest shops!

Anything i cant do myself, repair wise, is usually because of Manufacturer specific tools that are needed. One thing i really hate about my Ford Fiesta, is that i cant reset a lot of the Dash Indicators, because it requires a toggle/dongle that isnt available to 'unauthorized dealers and repair techs'. I can reset my oil change indicator. But when i replaced my fuel pressure sensor, i learned i couldnt reset that alarm in my cars computer, without a special dongle. thankfully my dealership is awesome, and reset it for free.

yeah I bought a Volvo that came with a pile of repair invoices- it had been having heat issues and a Chev dealer charged him $400 to replace the thermostat, I was driving it and it never got warm, pulled the thermostat and found that they had just cut the centre out leaving the ring to hold the gasket, it wouldn't overheat but obviously not good in winter. I wonder what logic that dealer used

I stopped helping people because the last time I did repair work on a car to help somebody out I didn’t even get a thank you.. dude at work needed a starter changed in his daughters Honda , bought the starter,wrong one btw, and was complaining how it wasn’t as easy as his old ford van so I offered to help..took the old starter out, drove to store and got the right starter, installed it, fixed a few other pet peeves like cleaning terminals , etc.. dude and his daughter never bothered to say a simple thank you, as I was putting tools away they got in the car and drove off, and even next day it was like I never even helped them..

Ran into this issue myself with my g35 awhile back. Had overheating and then my coolant reservoir was bubbling like crazy and spilling out. Took into a shop, and had them do a combustion leak test to see if it was a head gasket… they fucking lied and said it was. Figured that out later doing my own combustion leak test. And just going through process of elimination checklist. My car really didnt have any symptoms of blown head gasket.I did further research myself and troubleshooted the issue. Air was in the system. Bled the system and no more issues. Its insane how many people out there are either sloppy mechanics or just flat out greedy scum. Theres alot of people whod just lose hope and go into debt by either getting a new car or dropping 2k on a head gasket job that didnt need to be done. Its sad that people in this profession try to take advantage of others like this. Wish more mechanics out there had your integrity. Keep doing what your doing man, you’re honestly amazing. 👍🏼

It seemed like she had some real bad luck. Our family was from the UK and we moved to upstate New York and we found a lovely mechanic because we had gotten an old car to get around in but one day later it died on us it turned out that it was the catalytic converter and it was shot and not knowing anybody we went into the local shop and his named was Paul and later we moved around US and we found most mechanic's are honest like most Americans willing help and very kind. I really miss The US.

A similar situation: I have a friend who took his car to a shop recently because he was having trouble with it going uphill- it would ping a lot and seem to lose power. The shop told him that the catalytic converters (there are two) were bad and would need to be replaced. He asked my opinion of it, and I asked him what type of fuel he was using. Turns out, since gas is well over $3 a gallon here, he opted to put flex fuel (85 octane) in his car to save money. I told him to never do that again, as his car's fuel system is not set up for that, and to try and offset his mistake with some pricey 93 octane at the pump. Turns out that, a few days later, his car was much more responsive, and I save him at least a grand in repairs.

I borrowed a 2016 Grand Caravan (Flex Fuel-ready) from a friend of mine, the first time I put E85 in it, I had to have it towed home from the gas station (EDIT: refused to start immediately after fill-up) so I could drain the tank; I then advised her to never use E85 no matter what the manual and gas cap say. Which is fine, because she had no idea what E85 is, and it's not for sale at BJ's Wholesale Club where she gets her gas, so it won't be a future problem for her. By 28k she had already gone through three batteries, two oil leaks, seven TPMS sensor failures, and had the head replaced due to damaged valves (thank goodness for factory warranties). The last thing she needs is to tow the dang thing in for service because it is incapable of running on the fuel it is specifically-designed to run on!
@numberpirate
@numberpirate 3 жыл бұрын
Flex fuel is not 85 octane but 85% ethanol and ethanol has a higher octane rating than regular heptane and octane. If a vehicle does not have a flex fuel sensor to see what percentage of ethanol is in the fuel then the ECU will not compensate by adding more fuel as ethanol has less calories per unit volume than regular heptane/octane does. Which means that it has a different AFR value than the regular does. Big turbo tuners use E85 due to the resistance to pinging, it is a cheap alternative to race fuel, but they know to add an additional 15-20% more fuel. So what happened instead was the vehicle was running excessively lean which was heating up the cylinders so much that pinging was occurring due to heat. E85 needs to be run with a flex fuel sensor otherwise not enough fuel will be added which will not work out well when there is a large load, such as going up a hill. Your ends justified the means even though your understand of the means was off.
@gott2641
@gott2641 3 жыл бұрын
@@numberpirate Good call. Now that I know this, it's actually worse than I thought! Putting anywhere between 53% and 85% ethanol in a vehicle not designed for it is bad news indeed... I already ridiculed my friend enough about it initially, so hopefully lesson learned on his part. Just to think that his trying to save a few dollars on gasoline could have cost him a few hundred or thousand in repairs had it really done serious damage.

@@gott2641 E85 is used in tuned cars and a number of racing cars (Or just high performance cars) because it has a higher compression rate than gasoline allowing for better performance without the potential for self ignition due to the higher compression and technically the E85 also burns cooler since it is alcohol meaning the tuned high performance engine doesn't run as hot as it would with gasoline also providing less chance for premature self detonation. You average car isn't going to use or even know how to handle E85 as most likely it is going to be engineered to use 87 octane fuel... unless it is something like a mustang, Camaro or even a v8 Cadillac which needs 95 to run properly because of the higher compression it gives the engine.

Thanks for the video Ernest. Awesome job Brother. I am putting a 2013 Dart 2.0 back together that wasn’t so lucky this week. It probably isn’t worth the repair cost but she is still making payments on it!

The private party who sold this vehicle knew it had this problem - this is why they sold it. There are a lot of ethically challenged sellers out there who don't want to take the loss - but are perfectly fine with passing it on to an unsuspecting buyer.

@@watershed44 True! I have heard it said that a persons true colors are often revealed in money matters. One of the caveats of buying a used car is that you may be buying someone else's problems. The seller doesn't want to pay for an expensive repair, so they sell it off quickly without telling the new buyer that the transmission is going out etc. - they feel no shame for what they know will soon happen.

I think you did a very good job, not only on the car, but also on the voice-over. Never ceases to amaze me (professional mechanic also) how quickly some (upper echelon) people will say: "Oh, it needs a new engine." I never know if they're trying to scare the customer away for good or trying to bleed them dry.

You are a true gentleman and a solid mechanic. Kudos for helping her out and saving that one from the scrap heap. Made a good video series too as we got to follow the journey. I'm a few decades older but I remember putting the rear end of the Fiat X1/9 in the air to burp those cooling system (and the infamous Fieros as well).

@BellefontePerson 9 ай бұрын
I used to have a Dodge Spirit and it had a plug on top of the motor. You unscrewed it and the hole allowed the air to escape when you put in the coolant. Once the coolant was in, you screwed the plug back in, no air in the system. They should do this for all engines

Hey Ernest you can use 3m spray glue to hold the gasket onto the thermostat housing . Also you can help get the air out by starting the engine turning the heat on medium and hold an idol about 2500rpm to 3000rpm until your heat is hot constantly . Great job 💯
