I absolutely agree
Why I do my own brakes
Just think of it they r dumb, cheap and uneducated.
Im absolutely shocked. This is a job that can be done by anyone thats not disabled. If it were just the pads thats a 2 hr job for a noob. Insane.
What a Jack ass with no Jack mode thanks 4 the tip
A 120.00 dollar fix is now 1000.00 or more! Hahaha 😂
Yep i do believe so
Lol 😂😂😂😂
if i seen that i person and seen the driver i would deadset walk up to them and question how stupid they are to leave there fucking brakes like that 😂😂
Wer bremst verliert
That seal is a fail safe for stupidity
I agree people are getting dumber. But people are also getting poorer. And the cost of running a vehicle is astronomical now. I had a broken piece of plastic on my van door. They wanted £130 to repair it. A piece of plastic 2 inches long. 1 new tire costs £120 on my van. Sometimes after giving my right leg to pay to live in a house I don't have enough to do repairs. And if I just give up my van then we're all homeless and starving. while I agree people are getting more stupid. I would also implor you to think a little differently. So, so many people are clinging on for dear life and don't need to be called stupid.
@@jameslove1645 I wouldn't call them stupid if this was someone poor, trust me it's not the case here. All though in saying that if you are really poor in our country, the government will pay to get your vehicle repaired. This however is a 2 year old vehicle worth about $50,000, belonging to someone who will have plenty of money to maintain it, they just rode around with no brake pads either not really thinking about what was going on or the consequences or it wasn't convenient to bring it in.
No it's a money issue
In a lot of cases it would be. Not in this case though, think it was probably more a getting around to it issue, especially because it's a farmers vehicle that needed to be bought into town for repairs.
The sad part is they probably didn't have the money for new brake pads. Now they need a complete brake system 3x or 4x as much.
In a lot of cases money would be a major contributing factor. Not in this particular case, but yeah it's unfortunate for people who can't afford to deal with problems early then end up with bigger problems like this. Another common issue we see, is their mate tells them it's just a stone in the brakes, it will fall out eventually.
Alot of times it prioritizing money. My best friend would buy new gun parts or new plusb toys for his girlfriend, but not a even a $20 fire extinguisher to keep in his truck that's leaking gas.
Mechanical incompetence is a public health crisis!
I'm sorry but this can be done easier and probably faster. You can get it out from the engine bay with the car on the ground. This can be done in any parking space without a lift of any kind and probably fewer tools. It may take a bit of arm strength because of the leverage you'll have on the alternator working on these angles but it's quick and fairly easy. This seems like a lot but it's really just three main steps. Steps to: 1 remove the air intake between the engine and the bumper. 2 remove the electric cooling fan' 3 remove the alternator. Then of course... Reinstall All Be on your way. Can be done any where it's safe to work. No need to lift the vehicle. No need to remove the bottom plate. No need to remove suspension or control arm elements. No need to remove the power steering pump. No need to reinstall all of the above. This is for the alternator that is not oil cooled. It's for the one shown in the video. I have never removed an oil cooled alternator. Disconnect the battery. Remove the air intake and air box. and the plate that holds the hood latch assembly and turn it to the side, Leaving the lines connected. Remove the cooling fan/oil cooler assembly and protect the open end of the oil cooler lines that you disconnect from the fan assembly. this is the only place they are to be disconnected. make sure nothing gets in them (It's two lines, one bolt each). One of the lines connects horizontally near the top. If you look straight down in the same area, you'll see a connection on the second line that when disconnected pulls straight up. No need to disconnect that line from the bottom. The Assembly has a tab that is hinged on the driver's side. It allows to clear parts on the radiator. Hinge it in away from the radiator and it should lift straight up, no problem. Be careful how you handle the assembly since the cooler is full of oil. try not to drain it. Keep it upright or place in a large garbage bag to protect your work area from oil. Disconnect the upper radiator hoes at the radiator and bend it out of the way. if needed raise the small electric coolant pump it attaches to off the frame rail and to the side. Removing the fan assembly gives plenty of room to remove and install the alternator and moving the lines out of the way helps give arm clearance to work. If you want to you can place a sized piece of plywood to protect the radiator but it is not needed if you're mindful and careful. Remove the alternators idle pulley. It can be left on but it really gets in the way of an easy reinstall. You may have to feel for the alternator mounting bolts, unless you want to get cute with the phone camera, but they are easily located. Once they are removed you can rock the alternator forward off of the pin, It won't move far, you'll just feel its weight and it will want to settle onto the car structure below it. move it down and to the right and turn it so that the alternator clears the mount. when you do this, you can then remove the electrical connectors and remove the alternator. Make sure the battery is disconnected. The large cable taken off the alternator is positive and will short to any metal part of the car and can cause damage to electrical components and potential fire if flammables are present. This has nothing to do with this method. its just electricity and how it works. Take a picture of how the wire attaches before removing them, if possible, the correct orientation can seem wrong when putting the large one back on. Make sure the battery is disconnected or there will be sparks. When reinstalling, attach the wires first and feel the mount area to remind yourself on how it fits in. it won't go straight back, you'll have to put it so that the screw holes fit between the mount' It's easy to forget and try to just force it backwards and end up fighting with it. Once it's in and fits in position lift the alternator up into position and use the longer bolt on the top hole, (it doesn't belong here but acts as an assistant). Screw it in by hand to support the weight of the unit. It doesn't have to go in far. Then rock the alternator back into place and onto the support pin that should be there but can't be seen. then remove the long bolt and either install the correct short top mount bolt or place the long bolt in the bottom hole where it belongs then install the top bolt. Alternatively, you can support the alternator by hand and put each bolt in its correct position starting with the long bottom bolt (it's easier than the short top bolt then try to rock the alternator back onto the support pin that should be behind it on the mount. You'll know its in place before torquing bolts because the alternator Pully will be in perfect line with the other pulleys and not be angled in anyway. Reinstall everything. Now reinstall the alternator idler pulley, Coolant lines the fan assembly. Remember the hinged tab near the top and that the fan tabs in at the bottom. Gently pull it back, it should not move away from the radiator at the top or bottom. if it does check and reseat it. Now reattach the oil coolant lines. Then the belt, (remove and reinstall the belt without getting Coolant on it). This can cause a permanent squeal when the engine is running that can only be cured by replacing the belt with a new one, easy but avoidable. Now install, the air box and air intake and top plate that holds the hood latch assembly. This is structural so get it right. You may need to top off the coolant. If you do it without removing the coolant lines and they are in good condition, then no coolant loss or top off will occur or be needed. This seems like a lot but it's really just three main steps. Steps to: 1 remove the air intake between the engine and the bumper. 2 remove the electric cooling fan' 3 remove the alternator. Then of course... Reinstall All Be on your way. Can be done any where it's safe to work. No need to lift the vehicle. No need to remove the bottom plate. No need to remove suspension or control arm elements. No need to remove the power steering pump. No need to reinstall all of the above.
@@SEllis-wd9nx you've just spent all that time explaining a more complicated way to do this. You don't need to remove fans or oil cooler lines. The way shown in the video is much simpler and can also be done without a hoist of you don't have one.
@@gettingitdone1 It seems complicated because I went into detail as is my way. And the lines aren't removed from the car just disconnected from the fan/ oil cooler assembly. I guess I should correct that if it's not clear. It can be done in maybe 30 minutes to an hour.
@@SEllis-wd9nx yeah sorry mate. The way shown in the video was much faster and easier than that. I'm a professional mechanic with over 20 years experience, we don't things any more complicated than the need to be, and find the fastest possible way to do these things. Again no oil lines need to be disconnected and no fans need to be removed. The removal of the bottom plate and the power steer pump (again without disconnecting any lines) is super easy and fast.
@@gettingitdone1 I know but all that pro tools time and experience is something us amateurs don't always benefit from. When i did my first on a BMW it was a 545 the engine bay worked fine. And I didn't even have jack stands. So, once I got my 2010 550, I pretty much did the same. And the only video I found on it at the time the guy took his driver's side suspension apart to make it work, that made no sense to me, so I kind of took it as a challenge. There had to be a saner way.
@@gettingitdone1 In this video (ruclips.net/video/3kH2hhcBR-c/видео.htmlsi=xrTtgAGeNm4Hdby- ) which I just ran across because I need to solve a driver's side oil leak (which is how I found your video) I believe its associated with those oil lines or the alternator mount seal. however, it shows my technique for getting at that alternator around @2:07. it's not better just different. I don't remove the second oil line from the bottom as he does but from a connecting point about half way down shown in the video @5:07 right near the copper line he's using as a transfer pipe. I also don't remove the cables from the top plate. i just rotate it out of the way and let it sit near the strut mount area.
Is there a way to reset the transmission fault code?
Some codes will reset after disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. Otherwise you will need a scan tool. If a fault is present in the system, you won't be able to reset it until the fault is resolved.
Thank you so much! Would you recommend a website to purchase a new throttle body online? Also does the Jeep compass 2014 have a specific throttle body or its the same model regardless of the year of the car ? These are the error codes: P2110 P2118 Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited RPM Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range/Performance Thank you for the video! Loved it 🇦🇺🇦🇺
tried that and no dice, i've tried everything bar prying it open, any other suggestions?
Just make sure the central locking is working. Try unlocking all doors. Try listening to it while unlocking to see if you can hear it unlock. Also try unlocking with the key.
This method works on 2019 3.2L auto 2wd with V band clamp all done from top with wiper cowling out, took me a leisurely 2.5h to remove.
Awesome find
Thank you
has the front bumper and crash bars been removed as others seem to do this
@@honorkemp no, everything you need to do is shown in the video. The people who take all of that off are most likely dropping the whole subframe. We do it just by dropping the rear of the subframe down.
Hello "Getting it done" I saw that in your channel have some problems. For these problems your channel is not much growing. Not getting much engagement. If you can solve these problems, Your channel will get more engagement. If you can give me permission I can tell to you about these problems. Can I tell here or email? Okay?
Thank you for the info.
Perfect video! Straight to the point and complete. Cheers from Costa Rica!!
People who don't know basic principles of how a car works, shouldn't be allowed to own / drive one. If it isn't already, it should be part of the driving test....
Fuse
Definitely not a fuse. Although they were one of the first things we checked. The fault is in the generator itself, in the transmission.
It's not working, nothing changes/does not start flashing?
make sure you are releasing the button after the screen change, so hold it down so it shows you time left of service interval, release the button, then hold the button down a second time and keep it held down until the flashing stops.
What a waste of time...can't see anything
it's very hard to show you something that barely be seen in real life, as the video explains to you. It at least shows you where you need to be looking.
Does this work on the newer models as well 2017 onwards?
Not sure if they have the same set up or not. If it is the same cooler set up, it will probably work.
Thanks for this! I own a citroen c3 picasso 15 reg and its the same filter. Other videos are completely different. I assume its because its a shared Peugeot part? Anyway, thanks!!
Could well be the same filter and housing on both of them. Glad we could help you out ☺️.
Why do my local suzuki agent not stock or even properly list this part? (New Plymouth New Zealand) part number 24727-82kn0 apparently
Dealerships are pretty useless, we recently did a D23 Navara and Nissan told is that didn't have a trans filter, so we went a bought one off the trans specialist down the road. If you have an auto trans specialist in New Plymouth, they'd be the people to talk to. We're in Napier.
What did you do get it to work..I pulled the brake unit box...and see the wires but what do I do next. Someone said use a paperclip?
You could use paper clips to connect in to the terminals. Just to clarify this video is showing you how to disengage the park brake when the switch mechanism won't do it. Watch the video from 1:20 where it explains that you need to apply power (12v) to the terminals and which way around to do that. Make sure you are doing this on the park brake actuator side of the plug, not on the plug going to the control side on the car. You will need to get power and earth from a jump pack or battery.
Thanks for this. It's working.
Will wd40 do it?
Possibly, but also possibly not. Oil is what we know does work. You could try WD40, but may just not be thick enough.
for those of you stuck on the power steering pump there’s a hex bolt on the back of it
Hello! I have the same issue as yours except it is a Honda Vezel. Just to summarise what you did is to get a second hand gearbox and a new clutch set?
Yes, so you can check for voltage at the phase connections to the battery as shown with all the appropriate safety equipment, and if there's nothing there it's in the transmission. So this was a second hand transmission including the clutch assembly. Just the calibration was the real hassle on this one.
@@gettingitdone1 thanks for your advice...by the way, did the specialist mention why the flywheel flex plate needed to be locked?
@@charleslee1989 just for the purpose of installation, it should release itself with centrifugal force once the engine is revved.
@@deanwilliams568 I see! Thank you for your advice!
I'm asking for the guide line for opening the door panel of Nissan blue bird
I cannot get reverse in my 2015 bt50 manual , how do I adjust , cheers
5:42 is where we talk about the bass line adjustment, but it is a bit of trial and error. you need to adjust it so that reverse can be selected, but so that the lock out ring has to be lifted in order to do so. So if you can't get across to select reverse, you may need to loosen the bolt on the shaft, move the gear stick to the right slightly (away from reverse) then tighten again. Also check my other video on the bush that fails in the selector housing as that can also cause selection issues. ruclips.net/video/W-uno_Q4hLY/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Gosh! Who would have thought that with all this advanced tech there are still problems? And boy, are those problems ever so mysterious - needing a computer to tell you what is working or not - and even then it's not necessarily what one would think but could be something completely seemingly unrelated. .
Oh yes, being a mechanic is super complicated these days. We seem to see more problems with the hybrids than the full EVs, but that's likely just because there are more of the hybrids in our market.
I saw a frantic woman at the gas station with this problem and it totally worked!
Awesome that you could help her out, great to hear that we made someone's day a little easier.
Same! Old man approached me and this video helped
Great video, is smoke from the exhaust ALWAYS a sign of bad glow plugs (Motor in good condition so it is not rings etc) Trying to differentiate from glow plugs or battery in cold weather.
Another common cause of smoke on start up would be a blown head gasket or cracked head. A failing battery would cause it to turn over slowly, but unlikely to cause smoke from the exhaust.
So I have a doosan d18 motor that I replaced the injectors on and now the lift pump portion on the fuel pump all new feed/ return lines etc. It definitely loads up the motor with the IMV valve disconnected and runs great. Issue I am experiencing is anytime I shut it off after running it will not restart but if I let it sit for a few minutes it fires right up. Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Do you need to vacuum bleed the coolant system afterwards ? I had error codes for the pump after I replaced my egr , there was no code thrown up before I replaced the pump and there was coolant in the egr … everybody is saying it will need bled through again ?
We had no issues with bleeding the system or fault codes. You can try running it without the cap on the bottle for a bit incase it has an air lock. There is another comment below that had similar issues to you. You could ask them what resolution they found.
Lock clicks on and off endless.
A very rare car over here in Blighty. But the same rules apply to any car with the same kind of set up. Of which plenty German cars do 👌👍
We are in New Zealand so have heaps of them here. But yes same thing applies to many makes and models.
I have same issue but I also find there is an oil leak on the ground but no overheating.... Could it be anything else ?? Or should this fix it ??
You could have a separate oil leak also, or it could be coming from the cooler. If you have oil in your coolant though, fix this first.
Many thanks for the video, im planning on having the egr cooler replaced on my everest 3.2 as it is nearing 90k kms. Is it recommended to also replace the egr valve when doing this or just the cooler?
Normally we would only replace the valve if it was faulting. However, EGR valves can often give trouble, so if it's a high mileage vehicle you might consider doing it while you're there.
@@gettingitdone1 Appreciate the answer. When getting both replaced, are there any gaskets that have to be replaced on the tubing connections?
@@Marex14 there will be gaskets at each connection point, it's better to replace them with new ones, but not vital as they will mostly be steel gaskets.
Seen your video on EGR cooler replacement .There is even a more easier way to carry out this repair I am ford tech and the trick is to remove both wiper arms,the plastic cowling held in by plastic clips just need a flat blade screw driver for these clips .Once top cowling is removed go for the metal plate that holds the wiper motor assembly remove all the 10mm bolts disconnect the wiring loom to the wiper motor note if you have fender indicators cut the wire which goes to right side only will need re-soldering when refitting.Should give you so so much more room to get all the bolts that hold both the EGR and cooler.I split the EGR away from the cooler to make it easy to remove cooler as you did on the left side And for more excess remove the 4 torx bolts that secure the EGR motor I believe the bolts a E25 or E30 1/4 drive ratchet,extension bar. or try a torx Allen key. This method applies to both BT50,Ford Ranger 3.2 auto or manual 2WD or 4wd.This method gives greater access and the whole job should take between 2 to 3 hours.
I have one on my hoist at work and I was looking at it today saying how the fuck. But this makes total sense thank god I came across this comment. Just to review so I can get it done fast as possible for the customer, - Wipers off - Window cowl panel off - Wiper motor off - Is cutting the indicator wires a necessity for removing everything? - split valve from cooler and remove then remove cooler. Does this work the same ways for the auto 3.2 that has the metal pipe that is held to the bottom bolt of the egr valve? Also, will the px3’s go into limp mode after the egr is blanked or do they just display an engine light. Cheers in advance mate this comments a massive time saver
