Hello Frank, thankyou for taking the trouble (as it surely was, at least in editing) to highlight the issue of the TCM for owners of automatics. I would have been half-way through the job before realising that problem existed. I somehow doubt I would have easily worked out how to detach the TCM to provide easier access to the filter housing. I don't recall any other RUclips videos on this subject highlighting the issue. As it was, I managed the job without any drama, although it was a bit awkward, space-wise. Interestingly, when I got there, I discovered the previous labourer had used an OEM filter but there was no sign of the foam padding across the top of it. It's perhaps instances like this when one realises that sometimes, doing DIY tasks can reveal short-cuts taken by workshops which skip key stages of procedures. The owners are none the wiser. Your series of videos is a great help to encourage me to tackle these routine maintenance tasks. Thankyou for doing it! Kind Regards.
Thank you for your kind word Mark. there really is a argument for both ways of working when it comes to things like cars. On one hand, you want the job done by a pro that knows what they are doing, on the other hand, there's only one way you can be sure that the job IS done properly.
Yes it is but it's accessed from above. You need to take the wipers off and remove the cowl from the lower edge of the windscreen. If you are adventurous, you can add the additional CAN bus lines to the ODB2 socket so that you don't need to remove the ECU to tune it.
Nah, it's fine. I think every car has it's quirks and awkward to get to parts. on the plus side, the Cabin Filter isn't something that needs to be done every year.
