When my 93 MR2 needed a timing belt I took it to the Toyota dealer and they also replaced the serpentine belt, pulley and other stuff including the Hose from Hell as well as the Other Hose from Hell. They didn't have to pull the engine, everything was preventative maintenance and I don't recall the exact cost but it was not overly expensive.
I took my 91 MR2 to Toyota and they didn't even know what they were looking at. I had to tell them things that needed work, finally said give me the damn car and got it out of there before they screwed it up.
Hey, this is not a crap engine. Been trough many 3S-GE and 3S-GTE in MR2's and Celica's. Never had any problem with the hose from hell either. If you build a 5S-GTE hybrid with upgraded rods and pistons you are good for a quite a few ponies as well. If I am not mistaken the 3SG(T)E platform are quite popular to use in other cars and project for an reliable and strong base engine.
I’ve had a dozen of these engines too from lowly 135BHP all the way to 400WHP and the engines have always been 100% bulletproof for a minimum of 1/4million miles with limited maintenance.
The engine was designed to be in a Celica. It’s easy to do the timing belt and the hose from hell with the engine still in a Celica. In fact, if a job takes an hour on my GT4, I assume it’s going to take 3 hours on my MR2T. I’m never wrong on that.
Don’t get one if you’re not a rocket surgeon or can not afford one. I’ve got one I’m trying to keep stock but I can’t keep it running, or at least my rocket surgeon gave up on it.The car is refurbished excellent I can’t get the damn thing running worth a shit. But when it’s running, it’s a testosterone filled little beast. It was a bad ass little samurai in it’s day.Know any gurus in Central Arkansas or surrounding states?
@@mitchmcswain5166 You’re not terribly far from ATS Racing. There’s no one in the middle of the country that comes close to their experience with the SW20. I’m lucky they’re extremely local to me.
@@padraigrab08 I ended up picking up a SC300 and swapped it with a Soarer GT-T Twin-turbo engine. This is as close as I’m likely to ever get to owning the “3 Brothers”. Supra prices being what they are in the States these days.
Why not use a silicone hose? Its more resistant than rubber to all the fluids and heat , plus its more flexible and the cost is miniscule compared to the effort expended. The rubber hose may be OE but you can guarantee that Toyota shaved the last cent off the price. On this the price is not the issue, reliability is.
Toyota put a lot into r&d and building things better, take the hose joiners on the oil cooler and vvt line on the 2GR-FE they split and did Toyota opt for a cheap silicone replacement to patch it up on the cheap? nope they now make full metal units now so it neever happens again why do they manufacturers still use rubber? cheaper, easier to bend, easier to manufacture which all keep the cost down, Good fixing characteristics with metal, they have used rubber for a lot longer than silicone so they trust rubber to not leak or slip off iv used silicone hoses intercoolers and radiators, works great on intercooler pipes with decent T-bolt clamps (iv found you really need to clamp silicone hose down hard to stop it slipping off pipes), when it comes to my bikes i still with oem rubber hoses as i cant get big clamps on all the hoses, its a better fit and i can trust they won't slip off or burst while riding
Ant does not show the procedures like Edd did. This job is not so hard to do as he shows. This is very common job every mechanic is used to do. Ant just talks and talks and talks instead of really telling us HOW to do the job. It looks that somebody else has removed the components and Ant just lifts them off. Ant, please show more details instead of talking all the time. After that the new WD would give much more information to home mechanics. Remember why WD was originally made. It was a teaching program for home mechanics how to buy a car and how to fix it at your home shop. This new WD is more like those American muscle car building shows which are completely nonsense. Ant, I’m sure that you can teach home mecs if you just slow down and stop talking so much. You are a showman and that’s why it is hard but it would give us much more valuable knowledge. And when you don’t know how to do something or it needs special tools, do as Edd and ask the specialist to show it.
This is why we have Anthony now, rather than Edward. Anthony isn't hard to listen to, but the process stuff? Was a shame to lose it. Seems the show has taken that predictable dive....
They wanted to dumb down the mechanical segments. Edd wasn't happy with that so he left. Basically what they have tried to do is to make a niché show mainstream. In doing that have hacked off the niché fans and still haven't attracted the mainstream fans.
The production company for the show changed, the new one 'Velocity' felt the mechanical segments were too difficult to film and wanted to cut them down. Edd didn't want to dumb the show down so left, in my opinion the argument of the new production company that it was too difficult to film was utter BS! The previous one had managed it for years, no I think they wanted to cut costs and make it more like other generic US mechanic shows. Far cheaper to farm out the spanner work and have it done off camera. I don't watch TV based car programs any more, they are all pretty awful these days. I have switched to watching RUclips based shows like 'Bad Obsession', 'Mighty Car Mods' and 'Motortrends' which all show the actual work being done on the cars in long form...you know all the stuff that this professional production company says is too difficult to film! Ironically Edd has setup his own RUclips channel and is producing new content with detailed long form spanner work.
I feel like Ed could have done the exact same thing in the exact same way and no one would bat an eyelid. Also remember the presenters aren't responsible for the shots that get used in the show the producers/editors are. If you want the show to look different, don't talk to the monkey talk to the organ grinder.
Watched the show once with this new guy. Will not be watching it again. I imagine viewing figures have dropped since Edd left. Mikes a nugget and this new guy is trying to be something he isn't. Or Edd just set the bar so high that no one else can fill his boots.
The cam belt should be changed at a set interval, 60'000 or 100'000 miles so I guess this part is designed to last long enough until that service interval. Just change it with the cam belt and the water pump.
Bring back edd this guy is a good mechanic but lacks knowledge then contradicts himself saying the hose was a terrible idea to have placed there then later saying how good toyota are and he will use the same pipe next time. Makes no sense to me.
HotHatch Fan I noticed that too!! I honestly thought he was going to put some type of better aftermarket one after he said it was a horrible design and material, then he practically says he loves the hose and design lmao
It is very difficult to redesign such an assembly once it has been entered into production though... the best that could be done afterwards is to install a silicone hose instead of the original OEM item, which would eventually fail.
scott c my car had a recall for the rear trailing arm bushings failing prematurely, and they offered a metal insert to go in the hollow bushing and make it last much longer.. a mini heat shield around the hose mounted to the head or block would be a solid fix
Mike & Ant should find a 2000-02 Toyota MR2 Spyder/ Roadster with a blown 1zz-fe engine. Catalytic convertors tend to detonate in these cars. It's a common problem. Then, try to get it back on the road with a 2zz-ge engine swap.
Had to help a friend with that hose line on a parking lot with he's celica once. It wasn't that bad we had to pull the engine out but that hose isn't that fun anyway. A GT Four is a damn boring car to work on. Buy a Nissan s13 or S14 instead. Working on them is like working on a volvo 240. Simple and good.
Simon Leyman, he was an armed officer in the tactical firearms unit, they don’t let just anyone handle firearms. Plus he’s a mechanic with a reputation for rebuilding cars that go for world record sums at auctions. People forget that when they want to hate on Edd not being here anymore.
Perfect example of how things can escalate quickly.. hose from hell instantly turned into a HG/WP/Timing belt job🤣 my hose from hell started leaking recently. I'm just going to suffer with it for the summer (2022) and start prepping for a 3.5 2GR swap in the fall.
I feel sorry for this guy, he's obviously a good mechanic and he seems like a nice guy, but unfortunately he's got some very big shoes to fill - literally.
Its easy, take cat off from turbo, start by removing cat mounts from engine from underneath once exhaust is off, then turbo heat sheild, undo 6 or 7 nuts from cat elbow on turbo, remove cat temp probe and lambda, drop complete cat an elbow out from bottom, you can now get to oil cooler and change both pipes, while there do both oil seals on the oil cooler, one seals aluminium spacer to engine block black rubbery gasket, the second is an orange colour and seals the actual cooler to the ali spacer, job done, cambelt is doable too with engine in but you need to remove engine bay fan intercooler, air con tensioner and pully (compressor can stay on) enging mount and hanger cambelt end, blip crankshaft pully bolt using starter motor with dizzy disconnected, position ratchet in undo mode agsinst cross member literally a second on starter, she pops right undone, use trolly jack to lift engine slightly to aid removal of engine mount and hanger, drop engine to pull off crank pully (once timed up) rest is easy from them on, either replace tensioner or check its good and reuse, fit new idlers, change water pump but undo the countersunk screw first which is a pig if it won't budge you will need to take waterpump housing off inc thermostat etc, replace 2 o ring seals on hardline pipes that fit to WP housing, if this it done, its a pain in the ass but ive done it 3 times now on all of my sw20 turbo MR2s. Worst part is getting 2 x 10mm bolts out bottom of intercooler these hold the bottom bracket to intercooler and need to be undone ells it won't come out unless you remove A/C compressor.
Does anyone know a round about cost from Toyota to fix the hose from hell? I'm looking into an MR2 and I don't believe the owner has had this changed yet.
Hmmmmm ... ya know I’d have to flip a coin between Ant & Edd ... great voices, emotions, insights, background and engineering facts about cars ... as a Detroit boy born and raised in the 50’s & 60’s ... WD is so nurturing to my simple mechanic soul to listen, watch and just down right enjoy masterful mechanics making me happy ! ... terry on boys !.... ahh the wonders of the WWW.
@@dahorn100011 I've watched *"Wheeler Dealers"* with *Edd China,* and I loved Edd. But I also love the most recent seasons, with *Ant Anstead.* He's my new favourite. :)
Edd China certainly would have offered an alternative or two to simply replacing The Hose From Hell. However, can anyone tell me why you couldn't totally eliminate this hose (including a silicone hose) by welding-in an ID-matching piece of similar steel tubing? Does there need to be some flexibility where this hose exists?
To be fair to Mike; Wheeler Dealers was Mike and Ed ; Mike did the bits Ed couldn't be bothered with (sourcing the cars ; getting parts via his extensive network and selling the end deal) which left Ed to do the oily bits as he put it. It was a perfect partnership that made a great show . It just doesn't work without Ed it's just another Overhauling or Chasing Classic Cars . Mike should have followed Ed in walking away and doing a new show together. I think he'll regret the split. Ed will be back .
Ant Do you need Edd to come and help you LOL . Out of breath Edd would have done that in his sleep , But you can see why he went sick of working on heaps of crap
You know what...? That guy is good. You can see passion and exite when he talking. Plus, He have now more thought mission. We all member ED... But my first look. He`s good also guys... If You have problem, ask maybe Director or producer why You didn`t see this or that. Believe me, I`m Car mechanic from many years. Making swaps, tunning and lot of other things with cars. I know what I saying (maybe my english is not good enough but only this) It`s something similar that you say....I don`t trust mechanics that wearing for all time handgloves....
Gates makes a Kevlar reinforced 100% blue silicone replacement hose set for just this job. there is a 4 week lead time to get it, but it's well worth it. NEVER have a hose fail again. on a turbocharged engine, where a single overheating will kill it, why take a chance?
Ant is good but the problem with him on the show was that his work was too difficult and steered away from the DIY format. I remember the first season he was on, he would drop the engine on every other car. Some of the viewers realistically can not do that. So it became a show were the we watched him do the work and not learning on how to do it.
I like this new guy but yea he is no Edd but I think he is fine. I laughed a little when he was doing the belt, he was like "I'll put the engine TDC so I don't have to do it later" *removes belt without camshaft lock in place, camshafts rotates 1/5* xD
Years ago, I was also assisting a local Wheeler Dealer buying and selling cars. He bought a similar MR2 at the local auction, claiming it would be a hot seller. Whole thing turned into a big can of worms. Hated working on that car.
I don't mind either, Edd got too big for his boots and was dropped. Ant runs a very successful car restoration business and is good at what he does, as a mechanic, watching you can see how people handle tools, to me Edd looked amateur and Ant doesn't . I recon Ant and Fuzz from car SOS would be the best pairing.
Don't see why he didn't change the hose to a upgraded one that's more heat resistant... surely you want to save the headache of taking the engine out and changing that hose again
The show revolved around Edd showing you how to tackle jobs yourself, this new format has not so much chopped up this section but actually butchered it. Well done Discovery Channel, another good show ruined, you have really got the hang of doing this.
All this hate for Ant!! I’ve watched all the latest series up to date and the guy can wrench ( to use the ‘merican vernacular) He does quite a bit of metal fabrication, the mercury Capri bumpers were a particular triumph. Yes he is no Ed China, but he and Marmite mike work well together and make an entertaining programme. Bit of shame that it’s no longer UK based.
I think a great car show would have three great mechanics Ed China, Fuz Townsend and Ant Anstead completing a restoration project over 10 weeks. Oh yes and no gobby MB.
So funny how one little troll Farina Marcina thinks it's cool to add his obscenities to any comment not in Ants favour and no-one else agrees! He must have a huge man crush on Ant. Waiting for the obscene reply now.....
Should have routed the hose-from-hell to outside of the engine, or replaced with solid pipe, give the next guy a break. They always sell the cars too cheap. Edd China did an MR2, refinished some wheels.
Mike slagged off Ed and for the wrong reason.Ed left cause the producers wanted to skimp on certain things.Ed did take out engines before but they wanted that to happen more often.
@@Boycacc Yeah man ! You and this guy have the same carpenters square precision quality in common ! Stick to your hubcap detailing I bet you are good at it.

It was a perfect partnership that made a great show . It just doesn't work without Ed it's just another Overhauling or Chasing Classic Cars . Mike should have followed Ed in walking away and doing a new show together. I think he'll regret the split. Ed will be back .
Great work !
What does kaiser mean ?
Ant Do you need Edd to come and help you LOL . Out of breath Edd would have done that in his sleep , But you can see why he went sick of working on heaps of crap
Farina Marcina
Are you twelve?
Shut up Fannyina :) Ed didn't want to continue taking out junk basically and i don't blame him.
Whats funny is there is no way in hell ypu got the block surface that clean and flat with a rubber bald lmfao !?!?!?!
AHAHAHHAHA right?????????
maybe 3 litres of paint thinners too
You know what...? That guy is good. You can see passion and exite when he talking. Plus, He have now more thought mission. We all member ED... But my first look. He`s good also guys... If You have problem, ask maybe Director or producer why You didn`t see this or that. Believe me, I`m Car mechanic from many years. Making swaps, tunning and lot of other things with cars. I know what I saying (maybe my english is not good enough but only this)
It`s something similar that you say....I don`t trust mechanics that wearing for all time handgloves....
This is not an easy work study. Likes 👍
I need to replace the head gasket on my Porsche 944 non turbo please make a 944 video
Am sure he's griff rhys jones brother!!!
oooh so true
Leverage has a long first E, it isn't levverage. It's just an extension of the word lever.
Gates makes a Kevlar reinforced 100% blue silicone replacement hose set for just this job. there is a 4 week lead time to get it, but it's well worth it. NEVER have a hose fail again. on a turbocharged engine, where a single overheating will kill it, why take a chance?
Yeah, and not a grease smudge on him. I also believe in fairies...
Blame velocity....they ruin all car shows
I like this mechanic, becoz Ed always use new parts so the easy way, this mechanic fix some parts by himself.
If you have a lift it’s not to bad. Took me 4 hours the first time I did it
Mike Brewer is a good guy, people just jump on any hate bandwagon
What does kyzen mean? No idea if that's spelt right?
I'm not the biggest fan of this bloke and will only watch WD if Ed's in it.
Also, why are you doing another MR2?
Ant is good but the problem with him on the show was that his work was too difficult and steered away from the DIY format. I remember the first season he was on, he would drop the engine on every other car. Some of the viewers realistically can not do that. So it became a show were the we watched him do the work and not learning on how to do it.
pretty poor description of the video. he isnt 'fixing' anything. he is simply replacing a hose (albeit a horrible hose to replace)
Try the intake breather on a Thor spec Rover V8.. steel pipe into alloy intake... thanks BMW....
I’m sure mike will fall out with him. Where’s edd? Haha
as a celica man myself i fear the day i'll need to put in a stronger headgasket
the hose from hell......... it really is!! but only the 1st time hahaahahaha ;)
I like this new guy but yea he is no Edd but I think he is fine.
I laughed a little when he was doing the belt, he was like "I'll put the engine TDC so I don't have to do it later" *removes belt without camshaft lock in place, camshafts rotates 1/5* xD
"Its hard to see how something so small can cause such a big problem"
People pay child support all the time mate
Years ago, I was also assisting a local Wheeler Dealer buying and selling cars. He bought a similar MR2 at the local auction, claiming it would be a hot seller. Whole thing turned into a big can of worms. Hated working on that car.
What Japanese saying was it Kaizen and ?
'weak part of the engine'
Lasts 100k 🤣
That shit is weak for 90s toyota, first thing to break in corolla is around 300k
@@DuBstep115 True
100k is fuck all really if you actually bother to drive often.
and to think..all these years I've been pining to own this generation. Not now after watching this vid.
I don't mind either, Edd got too big for his boots and was dropped. Ant runs a very successful car restoration business and is good at what he does, as a mechanic, watching you can see how people handle tools, to me Edd looked amateur and Ant doesn't . I recon Ant and Fuzz from car SOS would be the best pairing.
Don't see why he didn't change the hose to a upgraded one that's more heat resistant... surely you want to save the headache of taking the engine out and changing that hose again
I WOULD ONLY TRUST 2 MECHANICS IN THIS WORLD
1. EDD
2. ANT
He worked hard..
Why hose you can insert some metal alternative instead
He knows his onions. But he could gurn for England. Fair do's though, must have decent eyesight to check the block for wear under a straight-edge.
The show revolved around Edd showing you how to tackle jobs yourself, this new format has not so much chopped up this section but actually butchered it.
Well done Discovery Channel, another good show ruined, you have really got the hang of doing this.
I like that I mentioned Kaizen.
What is kyzening or what ever it is he’s saying?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaizen
Mini engine had a similar hose.
All this hate for Ant!! I’ve watched all the latest series up to date and the guy can wrench ( to use the ‘merican vernacular) He does quite a bit of metal fabrication, the mercury Capri bumpers were a particular triumph. Yes he is no Ed China, but he and Marmite mike work well together and make an entertaining programme. Bit of shame that it’s no longer UK based.
Why has Griff Resse-Jones replaced Ed China?
I think a great car show would have three great mechanics Ed China, Fuz Townsend and Ant Anstead completing a restoration project over 10 weeks. Oh yes and no gobby MB.
You've never changed the bottom cooling hose on a Peugeot 405 Mi16 then.
Only some one from England will say 3S GTE is horrible engine, come on guys..
So funny how one little troll Farina Marcina thinks it's cool to add his obscenities to any comment not in Ants favour and no-one else agrees! He must have a huge man crush on Ant. Waiting for the obscene reply now.....
Hey I got trolled by Farina Marcina I had to mute him lol
2:32 It's not so hard to believe, Ask my Mrs. 🙄
Should have routed the hose-from-hell to outside of the engine, or replaced with solid pipe, give the next guy a break.
They always sell the cars too cheap.
Edd China did an MR2, refinished some wheels.
Haven't watched WD in quite a while. Where's Edd?
Brandon Adkins he left the show after the new producers of WD came in
Mike slagged off Ed and for the wrong reason.Ed left cause the producers wanted to skimp on certain things.Ed did take out engines before but they wanted that to happen more often.
At 4.16 why has that cover got Yamaha written on it I wonder.
nope i dont watch it anymore, im waiting on this guy doing some drawing from art attack or something lol
Why wheler dealer never upload full season any more
That head gasket was fine........I am out of this B.S. show !
You better do that you really dont understand it all do you😆
@@Boycacc Yeah man ! You and this guy have the same carpenters square precision quality in common ! Stick to your hubcap detailing I bet you are good at it.
You can say also that, Second World War was fine.... Jesus, You don`t know nothing about mechanic. You are dump idiot with mechanics cases. Maybe you know how change tire, airfilter or wheel. Thats all...
The 1988 super charged version of the mr2 appear to be easier to work on than than this one.
