Bravo to your daughter for putting this video together. It is many Crossfire owners’ experience that mechanic shops won’t touch them or those that will aren’t familiar with MB engineering. She pushed back the fear factor for some to tackle this job on their own. Thanks for not taking the video down. I found it useful!
Thank you for your kind remarks. She has 10 Crossfire videos posted to this channel and she was part of many remaining car videos I created. You may not see her, but she is there with me or my sons. The only video I posted that I built alone was the brake booster video. I did that repair between eleven PM and two AM. I think It was a school night, but don't hold me to that. I'm old and my memory is shot. Originally she created her videos for her channel, but she got so much hate that she deleted them. I suggested she let me post them here, and she did. I know she recorded several more videos, but due to the RUclips hate, they may never seen if they still exist. Thanks again, Cheers!
@@Sirrom0206 Great stuff and again, Bravo to all of you, including your daughter! I do my own maintenance (who is more careful with my car than me?) and read procedures, but seeing someone else do it helps a great deal. And all of these instructional videos take time to film, edit and post. I appreciate it. Have your daughter stick with it and settle into her style. And there will always be haters out there no matter what one does. Head up and onward. Will check your other xf videos as well. Take care and keep up the great work!
Great video. Did your upper PCV canisters leak shortly after? The previous owner replaced the valve covers and the upper canisters with RTV within the last year. Just the bottom valve covers have a small drip/leak on the exhaust manifold. Thanks for sharing.
It is your choice. Some of my dads peers pride themselves in not using any adhesive. My dad uses RTV on most of his gaskets including this one. He says what happens if you still have a leak? You have to do another rebuild. But if you use RTV, you only have to go in one time and you are done. It's fun listening to old master mechanics boast about their skills.
I guess that was on the missing SD card she mentioned in the video. She performs her own maintenance & builds her own videos. I just post them to my channel.
Your car maintenance instructional videos are so useful for the experienced and novice shade tree mechanics. Use of the female animated voice is a different approach and step up to reach the viewing community. The Gen Z - X slang, voice tone and volume helps capture the attention of the viewer and ease any building anxiety about performing car maintenance. The younger generation, and even some seasoned shade tree mechanics can appreciate, identify with and relate to the instructions and the car issues after reviewing this video. What did a memory card have to do with the valve cover maintenance?
Actually I didn't make this video. This was my daughter's creation. She made these car videos (there are five videos in total) for her channel without my or her brothers support. However, she was badly bashed by her subscribers & viewers. She actually thought about deleting them. I said I will post them here. Oh yeah, the voice is hers. Thanks for watching.
Great video with good detail and camera work. Especially good detail on how the various clips work and where connectors and screw are located 👍🏻
Thanks.

I have to ask my daughter, this is her video.
Loved the video. Just one question. Does it need gasket glue?

Do you have the part one video for the driver side?
I guess that was on the missing SD card she mentioned in the video. She performs her own maintenance & builds her own videos. I just post them to my channel.
