Back in the '80s in the UK when I was in the Boy Scouts I was able to do my Mechanics Badge. We had to know how to change a tyre, check oil, gap a distributor and valves as well as a few other tasks such as change brake pads and oil filter. The poor vehicle we were "working on" was a manual gearbox Mini 850. As far as I remember, it still worked when we were done.
@@DanielCoffey67 I'm 25 this year, i know how to change oil, do brakes, replace parts like radiator (not even mentioning thing like coil / sparkplugs). And I wasn't at "mechanic school".

Teenager (18+ in my country) with fresh license + beating a car while it's still cold = engine damage.

Some cars run the fuel pump when a door is opened to prime the system. Mainly European cars. If the fuel line is disconnected and you open the door, it’s going to spray fuel out. I suspect that video was just clickbait. This channel shows a lot of normal conditions or stuff that is just commonplace and calls it a “mechanical nightmare”.
What's sad is that all those vehicles were probably made in this century. They aren't that old, and yet the amount of wear and damage is indicative of something that has been neglected for decades. So sad. Some people should not be allowed to drive or own a vehicle.

If I’m not wrong, I think that Camry’s engine is the 5S-FE, which is a _non-interference_ engine, so it was able to survive being out of time like it was
It's either the 3S or 5S, but I had a 95 Camry with that 2.2 4-banger and the smog tech said it was 110° out of timing, yet it idled, ran, drove just fine.
I despise seeing some of these machines being treated like this , some of the issues I have seen in there videos is manufacture defect and I know it. It adds fuel to my contention that there is no need what so ever for a mechanic to cheat anyone. With people driving cars like this , there is more work out there than all of us combined can handle and more being generated each and every day. Cars and trucks have become more complex and drivers , makers , and laws have become stupider , not a winning combination.
My 80's Hyundai's dash is split into two. After owning and modding about 15 of them over the last quarter century, a few months ago I took my first dash out of the car. I was terrified of it, truth is it was a ~45 min job. I have to do it again in the spring, as I am swapping interiors out. I think I can have the entire interior swapped over in a whole day, providing enough sunlight and beer.
4:18 instead of turning on the A/C the mechanic turned on the air recirculation system which is different and the last one is broken spark plug. not really a big deal
3:13 isnt really a problem, its just the gps trying to figure out where it is with a very bad signal, it only becomes a problem when its doing the same thing outside.
In Germany we have the "TÜV" and every car has to be presented there regularly and found to be roadworthy. It's pretty annoying sometimes, but I see the point in it now 🤣🤣
@Elizabeth OBrien in sweden ther is a more or less complet check of the cars systems breaks ball joints tyers lights smog rust etc guessing that it isent any easier in germany we got 3 number a 1 all ok a 2 its a minor fault and a 3 major fault and the car isent roadworthy if its a 2 you got 30 days to fix it and get a new inspection if you get a 3 you cant even drive the car from the inspection center and the car has to be towed to a garage or more likely it will get towed to the scrapyard
California CHP used to set up car safety checkpoint roadblocks on highways....many years ago. My mom ditched one while driving me to kindergarten & took the long way around. We were 45 minutes late so she took me for ice cream (to wait out the roadblock) then home. She gave me a note to give to the school and told me to not say a word.
i once had a volvo 940 in the shop that needed a complete engine overhaul just because of not changing the oil-when i lifted the ventcover it looked like the engine was filled whit tar- if that was any other engine than a redblock volvo,it woud have wrecked a long time ago..customer belived that it was atleast 10 years sinse it had an oilchange
Only looking like tar isn't as bad as it can get, a mate of mine bought an ea falcon for 500 bucks and when he took the oil cap off you couldn't even see the rockers for coke.. coke is like soot based chalk and it was completely packed around the rockers and timing chain so we just pulled the engine and removed the rocker cover and sump pan and cleaned it the best we could.. it run for a couple more years until it seized.. when it seized we tried to pull it apart to see if it could be patched up but even the head bolts had somehow coked in and we couldn't remove them
Doesnt mean the engine has 450,000 miles...We bought dead Camry's and swapped engines or rebuilt them..90,000 miles up we rebuilt or replaced them..People pay big $$$ for them so we fixed them together to keep them going.The owners had no clue or idea that we rebuilt the engine,they didnt understand that! They are just oohh Toyota run forever,well repair them all the time,true like any car..Toyota's are just average in reliability..
I had to replace the heater core on my Jeep JK, it was a total PITA, but I was able to do it WITHOUT having to remove the entire dashboard, thanks to some RUclips videos. Saved me $1300 in labor costs, and only cost around $200 for the core and related supplies. I don't know how replacing a timing belt or chain is going to solve oil in a spark plug hole though...
@@jamesplotkin4674 Yup, they go at about the same time. Because the oil seals on the side of the block start leaking at the same time as the tube seals, and they coat the belt in oil eventually breaking it down until it snaps. Mine did it when I have it. Very cheap to fix all of it on those cars, not very easy haha
I really dont get how people drive on damaged tires and think they never have to change them, is it ignorance or do they really think a tire last a liftime long?
People don’t do preventative maintenance, they do reactive maintenance. When the problem bothers them enough, then they sort it out. Until then, it’s not worth bothering with. I suspect this causes u told numbers of accidents and near misses
Here in the UK we have the MOT (Ministry of Transport) annual test. Every private vehicle must be tested every twelve months. Also, a reputable garage can report an unroadworthy car and have the MOT revoked. Taxis and HGVs are subject to tests more often.
i recon probably chewed up or damage wire harness that reverse? fuel pump, its all bit weird because i looks like those leads should connect to something. I think they was and its to show the problem, when you starting the car it prime and pressurizes the fuel system before cranking. It the buzzing sound for 2-3 seconds, but when run continuously it could leak a bit. Usually the fuel system is not build to withstand excessive pressure. Diesel is bit different and some have even 2 pumps since its not suck in but sprayed under pressure. To be nitty gritty there are naturally aspirated diesel but but have so low power output, all diesel from 1930 onwards have injectors and force induction addition (turbo)
6:00 - Oh, it's VSG spark plugs. VSG - Variable Spark Gap. When you step on the gas pedal, spark gap increases creating a larger spark, which helps to ignite the fuel-air mixture more violently and increase power.
The car dumping fuel when the passengers door is open is a lot like the episode of king of the hill where hank tries to turn the ceiling fan on and the microwave turns on instead.
Guy saying "that's not good" sounds Australian. There the steering wheel is on the right. So this makes it a driver's door. Some cars prime fuel system when opening driver's door
I worked as a mechanic for nearly 20 years. Some mechanics (usually the real knuckle draggers) think that they are impervious to any chemical or substance known to man and most of the ones that we haven’t even discovered yet.

3:32 that looks like ATF. I've heard of people putting that and other "hydraulic oils" to top off their master cylinder. Really it should only be done to get you home but then again just keep a bottle of brake fluid in your car
The car that dumps fuel when passenger door open... is that not the driver's door in a RHD country? Mechanic sounds English or New Zealander. If so, the pump is meant to activate when doing this, it just has a nasty leak.
So, the “mechanic’s” solution to the AC not cooling was to turn on the air recirculation? Either they pressed the wrong button in the video, or they’re as incompetent as the customer.
Probably motor oil. DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 are all cross compatible in cars that use DOT 3. DOT 4 vehicles (usually motorcycles) require DOT 4, or DOT 5.1. Vehicles that require DOT 5.1 (pretty much just motorcycles, race cars and bicycles with Avid/SRAM brakes) require DOT 5.1. I haven't even seen DOT 5 fluid (not compatible with DOT 5.1 or others) in an auto parts store, so I doubt someone would grab it by accident, especially since only race cars have ever used it, and it's probably super expensive like 5.1 is.
I am a tractor trailer mechanic. I've already decided I'm not going to fuck with my heater core. I'm just going to take it in somewhere. I do not have a garage at home and can't tie up a bay at work
I despise that some people are SO stupid, so UNlearned in the most basic of things, that they take their car to the shop for service, and all that was wrong was a dial needed to be turned, or a button needed to be pushed, this revealing the true problem with the car; _The sheer, unfathomable stupidity of the owners themselves._
2:06 why you should keep the transmission in neutral too or disconnect the drive shafts when flat towing, the transfer case jumped into 4wd probably on the freeway!!
I never understood how that worked. The ones I've seen were arranged as: 2H 4H N 4L Doesn't that mean you can only put the transfer case in neutral while it's in 4wd mode, because of neutral being between the 4wd modes?
I cannot believe that cars can get that bad in the USA as parts are so cheap compare to Europe ! And as for the thick gummy sludge who was once engine oil, I NEVER seen it happen in Europe either. Must be shit quality US oil !
There are other channels just like this that show exactly the stuff you claim to have never seen in Europe. Take your nationalist-tinted glasses off and see reality for once.
Heater cores?? Generally they put the heater assembly in fresh air and build the car around it. Worse you cannot get the core out of the box without destroying the box. Brake Fluid,, that apperars to be 50 weight brake fluid!! So it has those variable gap spark plugs.
My chevy s10 4x4 had a rear differential that was on the verge of failing completely. I removed the drive shaft while the new rear differential was being shipped to me. And it is pretty common for people to do that apparently.
I never get how some people don‘t care about wear parts I get it if you change it yourself and watch over it its ok… but most of these special guys don‘t even see when they have a flat tire and have 0 common sense …
Who ever is doing the heater core on that ram needs their tools taken away. That dash is the easiest dash to remove. I get excited to do them even under warranty! You don’t need to pull the pad off the frame like they did
Cars today aren't meant to be repaired. They're meant to be scrapped. Any car made to be repairable would be torn apart by auto reviewers and wouldn't sell well. Blame the consumers who demand disposable mechandise.
@@knurlgnar24 All the creature comforts, and safety play into how much stuff is in a car. Then the manufacturer make it easy to repair. If it is too difficult to repair. Third party repair shops and owners will not do it. It goes back to the dealer. More money made.

mechanics buy parts for repairs. shade tree repairs are made with jb weld. theres a reason mechanics have a license that can be revoked for things like that. those were not mechanics you were selling jb weld to
I have a beautiful 68 Mustang I bought in 1977my senior year, lifelong Southern California car, back in the mid 90s, I reluctantly loaned it to my sister in law to use, her car had transmission failure, my brother had been killed in a car accident about 2 years earlier..she was well aware of how much the car meant to me. About a week later she calls and tells me it has no brakes, and by using the E BRAKE, barely avoiding an accident. Yup, my 15 year old nephew put transmission fluid in the master cylinder. New master, 4 new wheel cylinders, new front brake lines, and flushing the crap out of it, expensive repair, but I had no issues when I got it back. Of course, I had to pay for it. Ever since, no one borrows that car !

I cannot believe that cars can get that bad in the USA as parts are so cheap compare to Europe ! And as for the thick gummy sludge who was once engine oil, I NEVER seen it happen in Europe either. Must be shit quality US oil !
There are other channels just like this that show exactly the stuff you claim to have never seen in Europe. Take your nationalist-tinted glasses off and see reality for once.
Some of these people wouldn't notice if their leg went missing.
3:13 YOOOO! They're driving an airplane! Let's gooooo!
heater core in my car is gone im not even gonna bother with it tbh i don't need the heater
Was that honey in the brake fluid reservoir?
1:28 it's been fitted with the new WiFi AWD system.
Vertical video hell
3:32 How do you fix that screw up?
Heater cores?? Generally they put the heater assembly in fresh air and build the car around it. Worse you cannot get the core out of the box without destroying the box.
Brake Fluid,, that apperars to be 50 weight brake fluid!!
So it has those variable gap spark plugs.
Its a Nissan - of course it has tranny probs
3:40 that is not where you put maple syrup.
Correction. Heater cores under warranty*
My chevy s10 4x4 had a rear differential that was on the verge of failing completely.
I removed the drive shaft while the new rear differential was being shipped to me.
And it is pretty common for people to do that apparently.
I never get how some people don‘t care about wear parts
I get it if you change it yourself and watch over it its ok… but most of these special guys don‘t even see when they have a flat tire and have 0 common sense …
I like the variable gap sparkplug.
New variable-gap spark plug...
5:55 the new variable gap system
Who ever is doing the heater core on that ram needs their tools taken away. That dash is the easiest dash to remove. I get excited to do them even under warranty! You don’t need to pull the pad off the frame like they did
4:00 forbidden maple syrup
Audi now has you pull the windshield also to do an evaporator/ heater core replacement.
Cars today aren't meant to be repaired. They're meant to be scrapped. Any car made to be repairable would be torn apart by auto reviewers and wouldn't sell well. Blame the consumers who demand disposable mechandise.
@@knurlgnar24 All the creature comforts, and safety play into how much stuff is in a car. Then the manufacturer make it easy to repair. If it is too difficult to repair. Third party repair shops and owners will not do it. It goes back to the dealer. More money made.
THE WINDSHIELD?! Why?!
That last one is the newest thing. It's the variable spark gap for better fuel efficiency. (sarc)
@2:00 Randomly hearing Jeff Rosenstock in a garage would make me a customer for life.
0:22 my only guess is ford fiesta mk5 with a 1.4 z-tec engine
The best way I found not to lose gas from a lecky gas tank is to drive around on a empty tank
How would I submit photos with the story that goes along with the pictures
Always somehow refreshing to watch your vids
where can I get some self adjusting spark plugs?
Usually would do that I'm talkin about the Jeep Wrangler or any four-wheel drive does that because the skinniest people think they can pull them behind an RV explain neutral inspect not anything to happen with like that they're rich and they're not too bright
Love them variable gap plugs..🤣🤣🤣
Wheel Of FORTUNE!
3:33 perfect song 🤣🤣
Last one is like VTEC - variable spark gap
The radio is working just fine 😁.
That's bad,that's real bad 😔 duh
Love the GPS one
you cant make this crap up...L o L !
I used to work for an auto parts and JB Weld was the #1 product for mechanics to buy 😂
mechanics buy parts for repairs.
shade tree repairs are made with jb weld.
theres a reason mechanics have a license that can be revoked for things like that. those were not mechanics you were selling jb weld to
Wow! Variable gap spark plugs.
Oil in the master cylinder=Cha-Ching full wheel cylinder/caliper/brake hose/master cylinder replacement
I have a beautiful 68 Mustang I bought in 1977my senior year, lifelong Southern California car, back in the mid 90s, I reluctantly loaned it to my sister in law to use, her car had transmission failure, my brother had been killed in a car accident about 2 years earlier..she was well aware of how much the car meant to me. About a week later she calls and tells me it has no brakes, and by using the E BRAKE, barely avoiding an accident. Yup, my 15 year old nephew put transmission fluid in the master cylinder. New master, 4 new wheel cylinders, new front brake lines, and flushing the crap out of it, expensive repair, but I had no issues when I got it back.
Of course, I had to pay for it. Ever since, no one borrows that car !
Not to mention ABS/traction control module on anything built this century
