Slk350 Front Suspension Refresh
The wife's 2013 SLK 350's front suspension had some play in it. Found it to be the Cross strut on 1 side and the Torque strut on the other side.

Doing the 1 year update on the Avalon King Armor Shield IX, about 2 months late! But, better late than never! This ceramic coating has been pretty awesome. Durability is good, shine is good, washing of dirt and debris is easier, WOULD RECOMMEND
c6 fuel door not locking repair
Просмотров 56511 месяцев назад
My C6 Corvette's fuel door would not latch closed. The spring inside of the mechanism had rusted away. I found a replacement spring and replaced it. T My spring size was 5/16 inch diameter and I cut it to 0.80 length. The better size spring is 1/4 inch diameter and should be about 3/4 inch in length.
SLK 350 roof leak PART DOS FIX
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Год назад
Well my wife's SLK350 roof started leaking again! I dove into it trying to fix it and finally got it worked out. i ended up adjusting the actual roof and windshield gap. Basically making the gap between the windshield and the roof more square/even. Hope this helps and I think I over explained more than normal, but just wanted you to have as much info as possible! Also, this could help with the ...

Good help video
Thanks Mr Georgia I live in Georgia too
Another really helpful video. My 2011 C6 has this in its future. I would love to see a video of a ride since you have installed the sound deadening. If you already have one would you let me know?
I sold the car, so no after video sorry!
Thank you for a great informative video.
You are welcome and thanks!
After this repair mine cleared after trying before screwing down but then after fixing in place the dreaded lights came back on. I cleaned the ground point below the battery & then ran through an auto bleed (without bleeding) using my scan tool. That worked, drove a couple miles, all ok 🤞
Great video!
Thanks you!
What do you like to use on the large interior plastic piece that frames the rear window?
Some damage under the passenger door on the Daytona Sunset orange panel area.
I can turn all of it off in my 2010 C6.
didn’t work for me, any tips ?
Try again. Leave hit solder iron on pin for approximately 8 seconds and remove and see if that helps.
Why don't you use anti seize on the plug threads ?........Also you should put an old towel or blanket on the fenders to prevent any damage to the fender.
Did not feel the need on the anti seize
According to NGK at least, if you use anti seize then you alter the torque needed so you risk over torquing the plugs and damaging them.
Nice video sir. Thank you
You are welcome and thanks
Will try this I just bought a 06 almost get rear ended the same day because of this stupid feature,just like the “engine power reduce” on other Chevy models.I hope you still enjoying your car thanks in advance 👍
Yeah the traction system is a little abrupt and i sold the car but thank you
Obviously changing this cable is for the birds 🐦🕊️ 🤣
@@RonTimmonsM1 yes!!
I am trying to perform a trans fluid flush on my wife's '19 SLC 43. Do you know if there is a transmission cooler return line that you can remove to flush out dirty ATF while keep on adding new fluid until the return line fluid becomes clean (basically using internal trans pump to push the fluid out). I performed this flush method on many other makes and models (Lexus, BMW, Infiniti, etc). This is going to be my first attempt on a Mercedes 722.9 :)
I don't know about the transmission cooler or return line
Thanks for the review
Thank you so much! Definitely helped me
@@LilCheekoGaming glad it helped!
How often do you change/turn your rotors?
@@tmonie there is no set time for me. If they are warped then change. If i can feel a bit of a lip on top of rotor turn
@@maintainersgarage thank you. I used this video to change my pads and everyone kept telling me I had to change my rotors but honestly it brakes very smoothly so I think we're still good
@@tmonie rub your fingers across the both faces of rotor, if it feels smooth, not wavy or bumpy, you are good
Thanks and really appreciate that you pointed out not having to out the shim that goes into the piston.
@@tmonie thanks!
Have a 2007 Z51 3LT Atomic Orange Metallic coupe. Original owner, 9k miles. The day I bought it off the showroom floor I put a KnN cold air intake on. Game changer. Stock one was / is so restrictive. Nice vid sir...

What if you but a stand alone harness
@@ricardomorales9736 stand alone harness for the EBCM?
It works! A 15 minute easy job thx to you! I previously watched so many “other” videos that focused on swapping out the old switch with a new. I fortunately stumbled onto this refurbish/rebuild and figured why not try it before spending $50. How your video isn’t the top video with the most views on the topic, I don’t understand 🤷🏻♂️. I owe you a beer if you’re ever passing through N.Florida 🍻
Thank you very much for the kind words! And beer is still the best payment IMO!! Very happy I could help!
Get what the manufacture recommends. Not what some numb head on the internet thinks.
I can't argue with that.
Great video, thank you!
You are welcome!
Hello i just disconected the front shockers to evaluate them and them put them back again in place. But, the problem now is that when the shockers were disconected all the suspension fluid from them and the reservoir got empty. After that, we just put 2.5l of suspension fluid back in the reservoir and started the truck but it stayed in low position and didn't get up even to neutral height. We didnt took much care of taking the air out of the system or preventing it from getting inside in the first place. My question is if that maybe be the cause of my system faliure? (Before disconecting the shockers the system was working great) thank you
Maybe it failed or maybe you have a ln air lock in front shocks. Try bleeding againand you can put front suspension lifted in the air to force movement
Cómo te fue ? Pudiste solucionar?
You should do before & after pics. Nice job
Your patience made this project work nicely...good job!
Thanks and patience is hard!!
Aww...your puppy is adorable ❤❤ Those eyes....ty for video...my tear in leather is a v shape on back rest...I know I'll have to do what you mentioned, putting small peice of denim behind it.
Thanks! And good luck!
Happy Friday Bags, thanks for taking the time to post all of your videos Sir. I especially appreciate the LX470 videos as I have the exact ‘04. I frequently watch your stuff and find your videos very helpful. Have a great weekend Sir…
Thank you very much!! Glad you find them helpful!
Use ziplock bag over the loosen oil filter to get it off without spilling the oil.
Very good tip!
Oil looks thick, is the engine cold? Oil should be warm. You should fill the new filter with new oil before installing it. Wear gloves, ditch the watch. Always remove the filter first. It may not want to come off. Mobil1 filters are more restrictive than GM OE filters. I use a PF48E on my 2010. Not that it matters but torque is measured in Lb-Ft not Ft-Lbs.
Fair enough and good point
That ladder in the back ground sure looks familiar.
Ladders do look a like!
Thanks for the clear instructions! Very helpful
You are welcome and thanks!
Does the tool to remove the oil filter come with the filter?
No it does not, bout it from auto parts store
@@maintainersgarage Thanks. I bought one.
In my case the right side is broken, you can't reach it at all
That sux!
2005 corvette. Service traction control came on again. After having a torque converter installed. Any reason as to why?
I was merging into interstate traffic and put my foot down to get up to speed. That's when it.came on
@@jvette38 it could be due to a wheel speed sensor, could also be shorted wires or bad grounds. Start by pulling DIC codes and going from there. Good luck!
So you never need to go inside the trunk and remove the panel to gain access , just the tail light?
Yep!
Great video, very informative! Man no I got to replicate lol.
Thanks!
Great video.
Thanks!
THANK YOU ! My TPMS are dead, in the waiting to change it (maybe it can unlock me the 2 other sports mode that I don’t have ?) I disconnect AH, feel like a new car so good
Welcome!
Great information
Thanks
Great video. Thanks for sharing. I just ordered that kit for my 2011 track car.
Welcome and it's a great kit
Thank you. My 06 RX300h squeaks when telescoping out. This has been the closest video i can find that gives me a starting point. Most videos are for the actual wheel squeaking when moving side to side.
Glad I could point you in a direction!
Excellent video. The lid will not stay up on my SLK center console. Now I will be able to fix it. If only you made a video on how to remove the glove box lid.
Maybe in the future!
Thank you
You are welcome!
Too much chat and bs.
It happens
Car needs jacked up and unhook rack and go lock to lock get old shit out
This was so helpful! I’m flying to pick up my dad’s C6 and driving it home. Good to know how much I can bring!
Glad I could help!
Is it necessary to bleed the master cylinder itself on a c6 if it goes below empty? Or just bleeding from each corner will get all the air out?
If the master cylinder went empty then yes, you should bench bleed master cylinder
Great job, really enjoyed your instruction video thanks
You are very welcome and thank you!
