Repairing the randomly honking horn on my Firebird was too hard
Переглядів 7169 місяців тому
My thirdgen F-Body would honk the horn whenever I used the indicator. So, I diagnose and solve the problem in this video. It was caused by the back of the housing, where the horn contact spring sits in the indicator switch. With age it started to bend backwards, therefore making contact with the back of the steering column and shorting to ground, which causes the horn to honk. Bending that part...
Is the Suzuki SJ is the Greatest 4x4 in the World?

The Suzuki SJ410 is the perfect offroad car for Europe. In places where the tracks are narrow small 4x4s like the Suzuki SJ410, SJ413, Samurai, Vitara or Jimny are perfect. They can drive through places where bigger trucks cannot fit. With a low range gear box and selectable 4WD they have enough capability for country lanes and light offroad. But their most important feature is that they are ol...

Over 8,000$ to fix a coolant leak?
Переглядів 92411 місяців тому
My 1964 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is back! And with it a very big repair bill of CHF 7,500, which is around USD 8,200. What was the issue? Oil and coolant leaks. That's all. It just took a lot of work to remove the seized parts that had been in the car for decades. 42 hours of labour at CHF 160.- per hour adds up quickly. Anyway, the Cadillac should be driveable again.

    lexus suspension height sensors are the same parts as toyota ones (only difference is the mounting bracket) ~ usually can be easily purchased between 40-60usd and a pretty easy to replace as for the 12v battery i’m very highly gonna recommend the oem battery (and make sure it’s the same exact part instead of a european substitute) if you have such issue with battery when starting you get all those errors as not all modules are starting up (and you won’t be ready to engage the hybrid system since not everything is reporting correctly) ~ that check prior to launching the system can be bypassed by pressing the start button quickly twice when you enter the car the dc/dc converter i believe is a pretty much bulletproof part ~ wouldn’t even consider it a failure point

    All hybrids are greenwashing. They're also overcomplicated and carry two power trains which will fail. I call them frankenkars because they are cobbled together from disparate parts. But this one is also cynical. It seems to me that Italian cities claim that they have low emissions zones, but that nobody actually observes the rules.

LMFAO "the gas cap says Nissan" as if it came like that from the factory??? Well it didn't. I've had to Trans AM's in this body style, a 1987 and a 1990 none of them had factory gas caps and spar tires. You're better off buying a new car if you wanna get on youtube and complain about knick knacks on a 30 year old car.

    A front sonar sensor on my 2015 Lexus 450H seemed to have failed about 8 months ago. I sprayed it with WD40 to absorb/remove moisture etc., then cleaned it thoroughly with alcohol without removing it. Then I turned off parking assist for past 8 months and ordered a replacement for about $20 from AliExpress in Asia. A few days ago, just before trying to remove the “defective” sensor I activated parking assist one last time. To my surprise the original so-called defective sensor is now working! Don’t toss the old sensors. They may still work once thoroughly cleaned. But not sure how to test them while detached from vehicle.

    Deine "cost of ownership" Videos sind sehr interessant, aber noch beeindruckender ist Dein technisches Wissen und die Fähigkeit selber Reparaturen oder Verbesserungen an den Fahrzeugen vorzunehmen. Selber besitze ich den SL65 AMG (R230/2004) seit vielen Jahren und mache mir etwas in die Hosen wegen möglichen Reparaturen die einmal kommen könnten - wo der Wurm drin ist weiss ich ja jetzt (ABC, SBC). Vielleicht kennst Du eine Garage bzw. eine Person die sich wirklich gut auskennt mit dem R230 und wo man mal unverbindlich vorbei gehen könnte um das Auto zu checken. Übrigens, auch ich habe eine ZH Nummer an den Autos ...

    • @swisscarguy
      @swisscarguy 27 днів тому

      Danke. Leider kenne ich keine R230 Spezialisten. Denke, dass sich Mercedes Händler (vor allem im Raum Zürich!) gut mit den Autos auskennen. Die SBC-Einheit muss früher oder später ersetzt werden - darauf muss man sich halt vorbereiten, aber es ist noch einigermassen zu verkraften (und sind wir ehrlich: der SL65 ist es locker wert). Was ABC angeht, ist sicher Spülen und Filter Wechseln keine schlechte Idee. Dafür braucht es eigentlich noch nicht mal eine Werkstatt. Ein paar Meter PVC-Schlauch vom Jumbo und ein Kanister für das alte Pentosin sind schon alles. Der Filter kostet bei Mercedes nicht die Welt. Es kann zwar hilfreich sein, ein StarDiagnosis zu haben, um den Rodeo-Modus zu aktivieren und das System hardcore zu entlüften, aber auch alleine mit Auto hoch- und herunterfahren kriegt man das Pentosin wirklich gut durchgespült.

    Hi there - like a lot your video because I'm interested to know the cost of ownership of such a car. Myself I own a SL65 AMG since 2006 (70'000 km) and I can't complain so far but I'm mentally preparing myself for costly surprises (suspension, breaks, vacuum!?) that might show up sooner or later. You seem to understand a lot about the cars and I would like to get in touch with you which should pose no problem as I saw in this video that you'r driving in the region I live and where I drive my cars (4) too. Would be nice ...

    If I can be honest, I own a 2005 CLK 55 AMG so I don't know 100% if the SL is like this but I have the same 5-Speed transmission and the same shift "buttons". It SHOULD let you shift even if you are in Comfort or Sport mode but it won't register it all of the time because the computer does "agree" with your decision to shift gears at that moment. I found out the hard way that if it doesn't like shifting AT ALL in Sport or Comfort(Winter) mode, then something is probably wrong with your MAF Sensor/Tube/Airbox. I found that mine stopped wanting to shift AT ALL in Sport or Comfort mode and in Manual would drop to the tallest gear possible while not wanting to stick with my choice of gear selections until I replaced my MAF Sensor. Then, the shifting went back to normal and now lets me shift in any mode(As long as the computer agrees still of course lol). Just a heads up, it probably wasn't choosing to shift to it's full potential too.

    • @swisscarguy
      @swisscarguy 27 днів тому

      My car being a 2002 had an older (software?) version of the transmission that really only allowed the buttons to work in manual mode. These cars received quite a lot of changes over the single model years and I believe that particular change happened for the 2003 or 2004 model year.
