When I bought the Tundra started using the local Toyota dealership and over time (5 years), started seeing, (the Toyota service department) was shorting me one quart of oil on every oil change and the color of the oil was darker than the Toyota W0-20 pure synthetic. Sounds like cheap bulk oil to me. I told the manager and he said he would make a note of it. Ended up buying extra quarts of Toyota oil and topped off after each oil change, switched dealership and on the first oil change was one quart low…

The 2022 is rated for 87 so much cheaper at the pump. Plus with the used car market going up in price I got a good trade in deal. as long as you keep up wiht the maintence and don't beat it to harshly it should last you a while based on the experiences of the rest of the guys that have mk7's that I know.

Hey Scotty, i am looking for a toyota yaris 1.0 from 2015. Is this any good car and do you got any tips for buying these cars? Is there something to pay attention to buying these cars?

@@dadyking1210 okay, that sounds good! i am now looking for a yaris under 80k miles for my mom. She first got a Citroen DS3 from 2013 with 60.000 miles on it and it was a disaster! The engine blow up so i now want my mom to have a solid japanese car where she can drive more then 200k with it with hopefully no problems!

Valentijin. From experience of owning a Yaris, a 2015 I can tell you it is a really great and reliable car. I bought mine with 55k on it and sold it with 155k. Never really had any issues other than the heater would not come on time to time but it was just a bad switch. Other than that, it ran solid, got great gas mileage and rode pretty nice. If you get the manual trans it can actually be a lot of fun to drive. Hope that helps and if you have any questions let me know.

The only problem with the extra sensors is they could probably tell on you if you push it too hard and wreck.

Scotty, did VW design this engine with a catch can? Just wondering how they prevented the carbon buildup on the back of the intake valves?
@tkcs88722 жыл бұрын
There is additional manifold injection. So the intake valves are washed clean by the gas.

the top of the dash is textured matte soft plastic material. The trim around the instrument clusters is piano black. Driving around with the tint I have I have had no reflection issues.

Funny how 100,000 miles used to be the end of the world for a car. Then some manufacturers started getting 300-400,000 miles out of their cars. Meanwhile, there are still a lot of car makers who seem to be aiming for 100,000 miles as the target life of their vehicles.

I do understand it is a cool car because I had one of the original old Gti's and that thing f****** flew.... I think it was like a 86 or a 87 before they discontinued them. But I swear to you right now and Scotty is just enthused in his old age with the new car but he knows in 2 years it'll cost $10,000 or more and Volkswagen will reject the warranty work and the car will fukup, it's guaranteed.... Scotty does understand that what I had versus what is out now are two entirely different Volkswagen corporations.

It's funny how you say he'd probably get rid of it by the time it hits 40k miles (60 000 km's) Back in the day ('70-80's) you wouldn't dare buy a vehicle with anything above 60 000 miles on it nor would you keep a vehicle with that amount of miles/km's on it.... Nowadays, that's considered as a new car.. barely broken 💔 into!!

Hey Scotty I love your videos brother. But I think you drank a wee to much coffee on this one. Because you said if Catalytic has 3,4,5psi its ok. But then you said but then you said if it has 3,4,5,6+ its clogged. Not knocking you whatsoever brother. I love your videos. I really do. Very informative big time. I do exhaust for a living. And anything at or almost 3psi is giving you problems or close too. 3+ or above is considered clogged and has a po-430 code. For catalytic inefficiency. Which you know that. Just wanna share that code to people. Scotty keep up the awesome videos. And one less cup of coffee. Lol joking. ✌🍺
