Mercedes Battery Drain Overnight (Mystery Solved)
Would water in the headlights cause this issue?
Just watched this and remember my wife cranked the engine dry while i was changing the oil almost lost my marbles as what could have been the trigger
Just had the same problem on my Ford Escape 2018 .... the insurance paid for the repair?
My car tried to start my battery is new it just wouldn't kick over and start I hired a mobile mechanic he hooked up the scanner and said he re did the codes now my car is worse than ever it doesn't have any power. Please help
How do we clean it exactly?
Nice way to FUCK the Bearing and Brake Disc whith only one action. 😅
I have no code wagon r Pakistan asmyble Long term fuel term reading is -12 I have face low milage Can u help
Mine is off the block and it came off the rubber it’s just hanging there
Would this issue cause the smell of gasoline
Maybe … Mostly it’s controlling the oil .. but it will affect the fuel consumption
Thank You 😊 very knowledgeable
Wow… flat rate tech says he recommends not to buy because the engine sounds like it has 200k miles on it. What you are hearing is the sound of direct injectors. Get a clue! I hope people don’t take your “advice” seriously. There’s nothing wrong with that engine. It’s not even broken in.
I bet that customers truck has fuel in the oil because of a leaking fuel pump. I would bet that fuel in oil would reduce viscosity dramatically and cause internal engine damage because the customer continued to drive it because he was told you "fixed" it . Clearing codes without actually determining what caused the code some people would say makes you a scam artist or a terrible mechanic.
Thanks 😊
Didn’t know about the recuirlation button, it was already set right, thanks tho
Just cleared the engine check light on my 2012 VOLVO S80. I just removed the neutral cable for about a minute and finished it. Thank you very much.
Honestly, I could have made a 3 min video with much better content and I'm just a weekend mechanic.

Buick Rendezvous has it.

So I have a 2003 honda crv 2.4. Installed an aftermarket stereo the car worked fine and started fine for the first day parked it from 10pm till 6am the next morning still started first crank parked it again for 4 hrs tried to start it again and only got one click by the starter but didnt start. Tried a brand new battery didnt work did the same one click. I have a new alternator also tried boosting with two different cars and a charge pack all the same click. Stereo works fine same with lights. Tried putting the factory system back in and still the same thing. Tried snacking the starter with no difference. People are telling me the key might have deprogrammed. Could the anti theft device the immobilizer be stopping it from starting or is it actually the starter. The starter never had a problem always started first crank
Lol, leave the shop Needing a new axle and all alignment 😒
the guy that did my oil change didn’t reset it so i came here. very simple and easy thank you man
2010 Toyota Corolla, code P0136, recorded Bank1 Sensor 2, replaced oxygen sensor after converter, 2 weeks later, error code P0138 recorded (also Bank1 Sensor 2), any suggestions
Worked like a charm on my 2006 Ford Taurus. Thanks for the video !
So what's the solution
Thank you. I watch a lot of videos about it and only with you have solution.
Thank you. I'm glad you found this video useful!
this was very helpful thank you! i bought the smoke tester, it's great. found a tiny leak where the intake boot clamps to the throttle, but no change after that was tightened. did a water spray all over the intake manifold gaskets and no steam out of the exhaust. smoke tested the exhaust as well and nothing. my long term fuel trim is around 18% on both banks at low load or idle and drops to around 10% under medium throttle. i did notice my intake air temp was considerably off from actual air temperatures and very slow to respond to changes ( from sitting in a parking lot, hot start on a hot day, to diving down the highway at 55, it changed very slowly and never read the right temp, was always high by about 5-10%) new maf on the way, i think mine is original, 20yrs old, 264k on it. cleaning it didn't have any impact.
Hey man I liked and subscribed and I appreciate you putting this video out I think it's going to help me
Thank you so much for your support! I'm glad you found the video helpful.
Weird thing never heard a engine stall because of a oil thing 🤦♂️ . Question , so if the car stalls because of a oil thing do some parts stop functioning and causes the car to stall or ? 🤷♂️ If so what parts ?.
Great question. It is indeed unusual for an engine to stall due to an oil issue. On this engine oil pressure is used to activate the variable valve timing solenoid. I would say this is the root cause.
Every vehicle owner should have an OBD2 scanner or code reader. Witch, you can pick up on Amazon for petty cheap here: amzn.to/3VPSZFd
I replaced the Maf sensor, the intake gasket, replaced a PCV valve and the tubing and there’s not any other leak, now I have a P0174 code. Should I have to replace the oxygen sensors? Help!!! I already spent $700 pus the parts.
I just replaced both knock sensors 5.3 L with new wiring harness. Sealed both sensor boots as directed. All a/c delco parts. Cleared codes. Drove until all readiness codes were complete, same codes as before. SEL is on. Connector is in place correctly and now wonder why the low voltage code is back. Could the PCM have issues or wiring issue between sensors and PCM?
Is that the front or rear O2 sensor?
This is happening on my 2011 Honda Accord, but the "D" blinked for a while like a couple weeks back, then stopped, then started again but isn't blinking now. I made an appointment but am hearing that it's possible that if it's not blinking the code won't be stored, so I'm thinking of temporarily cancelling. The code tool listed isn't available on Amazon currently, would you know if this MOTOPOWER MP69033 Car OBD2 Scanner Code Reader Engine Fault Scanner CAN Diagnostic Scan Tool for All OBD II Protocol Cars Since 1996, Yellow, would do the job as well? Thank you in advance for any input!
Figured it was the oil cooler because the sludge matched the motor dipstick. Same thing on mine. The only other thing though is depending on the vehicle it may be a water pump?
I installed a new blower motor and it worked for 7 days, then I hit a pot hole and it stopped working. I will try this and check the wires. I do feel cold air, its just not blowing. Could it be the resistor?
You People That Shit doesn’t work is lying
Get yourself a real cheater bar.
THAT DIDN'T WORK EVEN REPLACING MAF DIDN'T WORK FOR ME
Rearrange the molecules in the metal called north south polls if you actually hang at one and we’ll actually point towards north
So stuck on flat rate you didn't find the blown CV boot?
That was the first thing I noticed
Man you have saved my butt!
Why do people do the work then make a video just talking about it? I want to see the work.
I do it all this time with a thick flat head but I never opened the bleeder screw , whats the difference with compressing whit that or a c clap c, u don't opened the bleeder with a c clap
You don't need to open the bleeder screw but it helps to open the reservoir cap
Opening the bleeder (with a tube attached) dumps dirty fluid out of the calliper. When done, top up the reservoir. Simples.
