I'm from Houston tx and my 2012 cts has a vacuum leak I really need a good mechanic like you to work on it. I have been to 4 different mechanics and none of them could fix it please help I would be very grateful if you would message me and I could bring you my cadillac, thank you and best wishes scotty
Scotty make a video about Nissan finally going to recall the altimas from 2013 to 2016 that have had transmission problems. Time to bash these junky manufacturers. It was said that these transmissions would go to 20mph while in the highway randomly causing a risk of crash.
What a place for the thermostat! You make it look easy, Scotty...the thermostat housings are not hard to crack when a thermostat is mounted vertically or buried. Love watching you diagnose a vehicle problem!
That's not bad look up the thermostat replacment for a Toyota rodeo the service manual wants you to remove the intake manifold and all the lines going to it... thankfully with some wiggling and swivel sockets you dont have to do all that
Scotty, I took both heater hoses off. They look similar. I do not know how they go back on. It's the top heater outlet to the top outlet on the engine or top to bottom. I have no way of finding this out. It is a Lexus es300 2003.
I'm not a mechanic but I do play one on the weekend and I did notice that someone tried to repair the air duct with electrical tape. That couldn't have been you could it?? Just kidding, great video
Scotty, I though this was your wife's car until I saw how cloudy the headlights were. Someone should make a video on restoring these. ***Horse Laugh Pic***
You wiggle this and pull that. You wiggle this and pull that, and cuss a little. You wiggle this and pull that and move the other thing , and cuss a little more. You wiggle this and pull that and move the other thing and have to take this off because it is in the way, and you throw a couple of wrenches and cuss a lot more. You wiggle this and pull that and move the other thing and take this off because it is in the way and it stuck and won't come off and you throw you tools all over the place and cuss like a sailor for about half an hour and go get a beer and get yourself calmed down. Yep - that's how it done :-D
Excellent video! A lot of work, but if it's once every 17 years I guess it's okay. And V6s from other manufacturers will probably also have difficult to reach parts
Scotty I consider to get myself a Lexus RX 400h an having an engine swap from the 3.3 to the 3.5 just wandering if it will fit? Just asking as being a hybrid is a bit more okward and could not find any information on the internet.
Need to demand cars that can be fixed without computers . Mechanics are now being called tecnitions, it's like our cell phones started tellaporting us . Save all the old pre computer vehicles .. !
@@eljay6578 It looks like his wife's old ES300. IIRC it's a 2004/5 model. Hope that helps. Also you comment is replied under a random comment so you might not hear back from other people.
Absolutely....... Scotty, it sure would be nice if you could refer all of us to a mechanic like yourself, where we live. I trust you even though I'm just seeing you through RUclips.
Yes. As I am getting older, I find my patience is wearing thinner. Or is the cars I have to work on now? An old 60s V8 water pump change was easy. When I did a water pump change in a Saturn, it was 2 bolts from the top, 2 bolts thru the wheel well, (remove the tire) and 2 bolts from under the car. My back wasn't happy snugging the bolts down on the gasket.
Scotty really knows how to cut down on the video haha. For every other video maker this would have been 30+ minutes whereas Scotty done got it down to 6.
I'm pretty sure his wife is the one doing all the editing and stuff. Editing can take hours. So i'm almost certain he doesn't have that kind of time doing all that he does.
This job, for an amatuer like myself, would take about an hour if I was familiar with the engine and had all the parts. I know cause I just did it a few weeks ago during a timing belt/wp change on a 3mz-fe
Joseph1NJ And that's absolutely rediculous för changing a Thermostat! Not Scotty's fault Lexus Engineering sucks! May be reliable but... That's a great way to make the Stealership richer! At least Scotty wouldn't rip anyone off!
Yeah - serious problem #2... those are some seriously dull headlight enclosures/lamps/covers ... or whatever they call 'em these days (cheap plastic crappy overpriced plastic headlight assemblies)...
Almost gone are the days the thermostat was right on top of the engine in the front and all you had to do was remove top hose and loosen a couple of bolts on the housing
Thats a 10-15 beer job buddy. And someone in the comments here mentioned a stripper? Thats another 12 pack easily. All thats left is to get some coke and snort it off her caboose. Then the next day or 2 later after recuperating you can change your thermostat in 5 minutes, probably.
@@deasttn Doesn't seem reasonable to me. The real problem is the designers and manufacturers that create these modern Frankensteins so that you get discouraged and bring your car to the dealer. Thermostats should not be this difficult to get to and this repair shouldn't cost anywhere near $400 - $500 dollars. They are cheap and in the past, very easy to change yourself. Also, the dealership mechanics work on these vehicles all the time and know the ins and outs and can do this very quickly.
At the dealership, a thermostat used to bring 1.25 in parts markups because they were easy to replace. Now it's probably at least 1 hr. flat rate plus the markup. If it were easy, right?
@@FlamingoVlogs I know so many videos how to repair mercedes for low prices. Someone succeeded how to fix airmatic suspension for w220 without changing them. If you buy a repair manual you will save a lot of money instead of going to the dealership or i mean stealership.
I’ve basically been binge watching your videos past few days but now my wife’s a little irritated because I’ll be yelling from across the house to her “REV UP YOUR ENGINE!!!”
Get blue driver scan tool if your worried about high prices for scan tools there always updating their stuff for more codes & cars Scotty also has a video about that as well.
Likely would have eventually set at least a pending code. It all depends on the last time codes were cleared and/or how long its been a problem. As long as the O2 sensors are working the way they should, and I'm willing to bet they are since its not coding, then he should have been able to watch fuel trims on his scan tool to get a good idea of what was missing very quickly.
@Joe Casson Well he should mention that the only true way to prove that would be to put the thermostat into a pan of hot water.. If it is truly stuck, it will not open. The one he showd was at room temperature, naturally it would be closed.

Damm Scotty that was a Pain in The Behind. But now I learned a lot from this video. Great Work!!!!

Yep Ive heard thats what you had to do with those V8 Monzas. Not sure what GM was thinking putting a V8 into that small of a car
If I remember some people cut holes in the fender to get at the rear plugs. It was made for racing and practical wasn't a priority.
Love you, Scotty. You talk to us like my old mechanic mentors used to talk to me.
I see you not showing removing the clips on the coils. Those things always break!
That split hose would be also sucking in durt.

This thermostat doesn’t require a gasket? When I install a new thermostat I include a new gasket on the housing.
Scotty kilmer should have looked for an air leak on all of the rubber hoses including the air intake system first .
Hey Scotty, how dificult it was to bleed the air bubbles out of the cooling system?
Scotty, what was the name of that valve? My gf's Volvo might have the same issue.
