2015 Mazda Miata Coolant Tank Replacement!
Hello everyone! In this video I go over the realistic process of replacing the coolant tank on my 2015 Mazda Miata for the first time. This is a tutorial - but more so a form of trial and error to learn from. I wanted to be genuine in that this is my first time completing this job and mistakes have been made. I hope that you can find a laugh in these mistakes and use them to make your attempt smoother than ours haha!

How to fix HOT AC for FREE! P1 Volvo: C30 S40 V50 C70
Просмотров 32 тыс.2 года назад
In today's video I show you how to fix your AC system. This fix can work on P1 Volvo's and may work for other vehicles with similar compressor designs as well. The fix is accomplished using small zip ties on the AC compressor clutch to reduce the gap between the clutch and the pulley. This gap widens over time with use and therefore will typically occur on higher mileage vehicles, however, wear...

In this video I show how to fix a sticking emergency brake on certain Mercedes models. This should work across a few different types of cars, as long as the cable is accessible from the bottom near the brake pedal. All you need is WD40 and some plastic pry tools!

You do a great job explaining! So helpful!! Thanks!
This is part of my through research.
You could’ve cleaned it ngl
@@brandonulloa4722 I did at the end haha, it was smeared out the package i won’t lie
Been looking everywhere for a tutorial!
Bro this video came in clutch. Thank you and keep it up
Took 20 min and the 3 zip-ties. AC works again! THANK YOU!
THAT LOOKS SICK ASF
Your observations are spot on. I miss my NC, although I wouldn't trade my ND for one, it may be the best generation. Jason Cammisa thinks so and he drives for a living. I also like the styling, it seems more evocative of the old British roadsters.
Any difference between the 5 speed and 6 speed? How important is having a limited slip differential?
I haven't personally driven a 6 speed but have heard there is quite a difference in shift feel with most people preferring the feel of the 5 speed. I would only get the 6 speed if the cruising RPM on the freeway was lower but from what I have seen they are actually the same or in some cases the 5 speed is at lower rpm than the 6! Ultimately it comes down to preference and the spec/price of the car. I didn't care which transmission I got, I just liked the spec and price of this one and went for it. Hope that helps!
I find the LSD makes sliding the rear end around more smoothly and predictable. Open diffs seen grabby to me, they suddenly get traction rather than allowing for a more gradual transition from slip to grip.
Worked perfectly on my Volvo v50 D5 2009 (133k miles)! Huge thanks!!!
I did this trick on my v50 this weekend, and now my AC works. Thanks for the tip.
after 5 years ,you must be happy for the car
Nice spot to play around dude
I have a C30....i have NEVER used premium gas!!!! My car runs great!!! and it's 16 years old!
Took 15 min and the 3 zip-ties. AC works again! Thx for the tip! Volvo C70, 2007
Actually taking a shime out doesn't take much longer 2 do than the Getto fix...

Just bought an 06 same color, going to change out the tank. Thanks for the tips bro!
I loved by NB (Nevada edition), but rust got the better of it; Had an NC after that (I was wowwed by the bright red paint) but it was heavy in mileage; Now have a 2010 NC2 PRHT (why would you not) and absolutely love it (it's only the 1.8, but that says MX5 to me) - the facelift between the NC and the NC2 was subtle but made a huge difference to the look and feel of the car in a massively positive way.
Good luck. Enjoy the process.
Just picked up a 2014 Soft Top Club in True Red 2 days ago and my goodness, am I thrilled with my choice! You're so right about everything brother. This is the car to have for the value 100%!
European car companies just don't know how to engineer. All of them have some problem or the other and are poorly engineered and highly unreliable.
Maybe you have worn-out cluch ?
I really liked your review of this vehicle. I have a 2012 xc60 3.2 6Cyl. FWD. 159k mi. This is my 1st. I love the comfort as well as the interior. I must say, the ride for a vehicle of a "Luxury Vehicle Class" is rough. I can feel the smallest cracks in the road. Also, there is a weird Left hand turn accelerator pause or no response while in the turn. I also have experienced the oil burn you talk about however, I've only had the vehicle for 1 year. This vehicle does have a dipstick for the oil, I have also had to add a quart occasionally. It is a nice looking vehicle and does have great safety ratings. Overall, I feel the performance and some transmission oddities may have me selling this vehicle soon as well.
Nice Video!
I haave a 2013 and I love it. I think it is by far the best looking Miata which is why I bought it. For me it has plenty of power and great handling.
@@user-ss8zw2je3n I’m starting to feel that too! The styling is really growing on me :)
I was looking for a BRZ/370z but then I found my 08 PRHT for a good price and I bought it. Initially i was planning to just do maintainance and fix the paint to flip it, but I cant find anything better for a reasonable price and its growing on me. I was planning to sell it next year, but I think youre right about prices going up in the future so im gonna keep it a bit longer
LOVED THIS VIDEO THANK YOU
the first hose was the overflow. that's just to direct it somewhere when the car overheats and the coolant boils. Also there's hose clamps to clamp those shut, works way better than your tape. 😅 the tank going yellow also isn't an issue, just looks.
Bruh why didn’t you let me know, I got funnels for days😄😅
Just worked for me 🔥
Also, with 3D printers on the rise. What parts do you need again?
Thanks man. It tooks me 10 min only. And I used regular size screwdriver and big zip ties:) Works great!
1:01 pull down the wind deflector and it’ll make it easier to reach for the top. Also helps to have it down when the tops up for rear visibility
Yea those rear view mirrors de-laminate I had to replace the one on mine when I bought it.
@@bubba99009 Ahh delaminate! That makes sense I was wondering what it is!
Subscribed. I have a 2013 GT PRHT I bought 6 months ago. Your video is spot on, The NC gen is 90% of the ND with the hydraulic steering of the NA/NB for 35-50% of the price. Not to mention it has the most reliable transmission compared to the ND. The 2009+ versions have forged internals and increased redline in the MT versions. I bought mine personally because I don't think manual transmissions will be a thing in 10 years and the Miata is one of the most fun cars I have ever driven. Its not fun to rev out a corvette for 3 seconds and be at arrestable speeds. Anyways keep the videos coming and check out my channel for similar NC content.
Basically nothing is wrong with it except the wheel 😄miatas are simple and reliable.
Love my 2008 PRHT. Just a treat to drive and a blast to own.
08 PRHT & Beck 550 Spyder. : )
That's my favorite Miata still, driven and lived with every generation...and the NC PRHT is still my favorite. Especially the Club 👌
e
Test drove a 2007 nc prht 6 speed and had to have it. Love it . End of story.
Pros-total pkg, Lincoln towncar interior, bass boat handling, comes with Gilligan/lil’ buddy- dates with Tina Louise & Dawn wells😂 I’ve owned all 4 this is the best!🎉 Cons-best car I’ve ever had n I’ve had em all at 64! Btw I’ve owned lotta fiats & xwives! The worst😂
Totally agree. I just bought a 2014 GT PRHT 6 speed and I love it. It's not ugly at all; it definitely has aged well. I felt like I paid a little more than I originally wanted to, but I do think they will hold their value well. Nice video; thanks.
Turn radius wouldn't except that in a small car !
I have a 2010 myself (hard top 6 speed) I absolutely love it and I’m never getting rid of it😊
aint got no popups tho
Really well said! I have an ND myself, but I never understood the NC hate. I subbed so I could be your 1000th 😂
Thank you!! I kept checking lol thanks for being a milestone sub!
I just gave it a few hits with a hammer to make the gap smaller.
The NC IS the real Miata. On my fourth but an NC2. Just 1600 miles when I found it.
Im on my third Miata second NC. The ND is too cramped for me.
Thanks to IPD 👍🏾
