Automotive DIYers can use my channel to get the help or inspiration to work on their own cars. I am not a mechanic, nor an engineer. However, I have been fixing most issues on my cars for all my adult life. I do so because it gives me great satisfaction to save my hard-earned money. And mostly because I am a gearhead and a perfectionist. I also realize that there is a lot of “simple” fixes that you might need to do, that don’t have good videos out there. Let me know what you think and ideas for videos that you’d like to see, and I’ll get them done!

Have the same truck, is this the same when I put my truck into reverse?
My rear brake refuses the bleed and the caliper doesn't do anything, front works. What could be my issue? Bike had sat for 10 years and recently has been getting full service.
10 years... cylinder is probably frozen in the caliper. You need to rebuild it.
I also just bought the plus2 co.ing from a ms808
I'm happy with mine
Why not just replace your standard Halogen bulb with an LED bulb? I did the mod as soon as I bought my bike and the difference is between night and day. No need to buy the sealed beam bulb and adapter just to get a better headlight. Just a bulb replacement is all that's needed.
Led bulb in a halogen housing causes a lot of glare to oncoming traffic. It's great for you and terrible for everyone else.
@@dcfgarage Wrong. Mine has a sharp cutoff line and does NOT blind oncoming traffic. I noticed alot of the spendy Daymaker lights are blinding so don't even think they are superior.
Excellent video, thank you!
Thank you!
So i changed mine i got the code back now i dont know whats wrong ive done the one in engine bay aswell
Evap leaks are hard to chase down. If You're confident the purge valve is working and you have a new OEM gas cap, you can also replace the orings in your charcoal canister. Of course... check if you have a leak in any of the evap hoses.
@dcfgarage I haven't tried a new gas cap yet I cleared my code p0446 waiting for it to potentially come back if so I'll get a new gas cap next
Not to get weird, but a little spit will help it go on easier and when it dries, it’ll help it stick better. So to speak.
Weird
Hey Boss...i have a question ....what about doubling the gasket instead of putting silicone?? Thanks
Should work
Hey is this something I (a female) can do myself, I have a 2003 E320 and I’m having some of the same issues I’ve seen in all the videos you’ve posted about your vehicle! Please let me know.
I had a hard time connecting the upper control arm to the knuckle. But maybe if I used the jack it could have been easier. I guess it's about using leverage and the proper tools, not strength
How did you take the seat out?
There are 10mil bolts on the sides
I have a 2002 1800c, I bought new and it still runs great. I did the de-smog long ago. I also use a k&n filter, but never put on a aftermarket fuel control, it may run a little lean but it's really fine. I have noticed on mine the best way to prevent the "popping" is to make sure when you let off the throttle, make sure you let it off completely, if you hold it even slightly open it will start popping.
That's a great tip!
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks!
I have a 2004 E320. I think the alternator failed today on it. There was a rattling noise at idle this morning, but when I drove the car in the evening the sound returned and with the headlights on I started getting flickering of the lights and I started getting error messages on the instrument cluster. Nasty whirring noises. My questions to you: 1. Does the voltage regulator come integrated with the alternator? 2. How do I know for sure that it’s not a pulley seizing causing the belt to slow on the alternator? 3. If it’s the alternator, do I get the 150 or 180 AMP variant? Thank you.
So. In mercedes the regulator is external. However, if you heard rattling, it's probably a bearing that went out and you need a new alternator. Or get yours rebuilt. I don't know the amps spec. I would double check with the parts store.
Thanks! A great refresher since the last time I did it 😂
Thanks!
I have an 06 R500 with 184k miles. Literally going through the same process of fixing all of the problems caused from deferred maintenance. So far the engine itself has been reliable it’s only the suspension that seems to be the issues. I’ve also encountered a problem with my panoramic roof where it’s stuck in tilt. Good luck!
Thanks! These m113 engines are bullet proof. Transmission normally goes out first.
Does it stand off on anyone else too ? Like the gasket on the new lens is too thick
Does it do milage correction?
It might. Not entirely sure
"Save" or "destroy" ? 😂😂😮
As long as you're stationary, it's fine :-)
Had this same problem .. couldn't get thru emissions becaue car wouldn't connect to their tester. Each female contact has a square opening and a "ramp" inside that has to make contact with the male contact part of tester. The male contacts are flat blades that could be in the square but not hitting the ramp. Gotta make sure that ramp is angled so the testers' blade contacts will make a connection. If you mate the tester frequently, you will more likely encounter this problem.
Thanks for the tip
Great video and explanation
How were you able to pull the hose off ? The hardest part
U just pull it
It’s an expedition not a truck
If you have a differential "wine" even after a fluid change, add a little Liqui Moly M0S2 gear additive, works MIRACLES.
Nice tip

P240b ?
My 2019 had the ‘updated’ blue check valve and replacing it still solved the problem. Drove the truck over a year with the strange intermittent noise thinking it was nothing, probably started at only 40,000 km on the truck, had no idea this could be damaging the hubs. In my case I wouldn’t even say it was a grinding sound, just a weird noise at lower speeds, especially when cold, either during a shift, when letting off the gas, or under load at low rpm. Honestly didn’t think this would fix it but for the cost I tried replacing it anyway. This should be a maintenance item in the owners manual.
prob saved like 4600 bucks by not taking it to the dealership
So true. Simple things cost 1k bucks at the stealership
Thank you so much! 2017 Ford Expedition, tried three different inspection stations to get emissions test in Texas. All three said that their scanner would not connect, and I may need to go to Ford dealer to get the ECM reflashed. I found this video and this was the exact issue. Adjusted my pins and now my car passes the tests.
Happy it helped!!!
This isn't a review. It's some dude with a noise meter wasting our time.

LOL @ “Jeff’s store”

How long was you medium length 19 mm socket?
Roughly 3 inches
Would installing a grease fitting effect the ballance of the shaft?
Probably at high speeds
My 2007 F 150 king ranch makes a clunk sound at 42 MPH and then again maybe at 52 mph when I drive around town. If i am getting on the high from a dead stop to 60 + no issues at all. I recently turned my overdrive button off, and it stopped, any ideas?
Try looking at the u joints
Nice video, but please give me complete details for using it please
Thanks, Question; How to know when to replace this valve? I mean what symptoms should we get.
They tend to last 100k miles. When you start seeing oil consumption, the pcv valve/system can be one of the causes
I have code P0455 and p0497 what do you think it would be
Where did you order your parts from?
Either rockauto or fcp euro
“Nice video! Thanks for sharing. Does this same method work for a CLS W219? I thought I would need to drop the entire disc brake assembly to replace the lower arm, but can it be done this way instead?”
If it's not the central arm that attaches to the knuckle, I think you can get away with not removing the rotor
Great video. Good content and excellent video work. Very clear and enjoyable to watch. You must have spent a lot of time in the editing room. Great job.
Thank you! It does take a lot of work to edit. I plan on doing a last video with everything else I fixed. It's just hard to find the time to edit hours andhours of content.
Nice video.From where the engine gonna breathe?
From the engine intake. The Secondary air system is just for decreasing emissions at start up.
Baster is in the South. We just pronounce it different than the Notherners
LOL. Thanks!
Rrrrrrr this car is just all over
It's an endless source of things to fix
fantastic work
I prefer a key in the keyhole
Cool
Thank you so much. This is exactly the noise I'm hearing!, now I know what to do and the best part is I can replace it myself!
Happy it helped
Push to start is the biggest wank in automotive history
Hold the key close? That beats the point
Just for the first time. Then you don't need to have it close
Literally already knew this -smart gang
Lol!
I did not know that. Do you have to get a Mercedes button or can you use a kia one? Because it appears those kia parts are pretty universal I read on the Internet.
I bought a "mercedes" button from AliExpress for $2.94
