If you turn you 5L bottles sideways the fluid will flow out in a smooth stream, rather than glugging out as it does when you tip it in held upright. Makes a big difference and is much easier to pour also.

Apprentice Toyota mechanic here, definitely a well done job there, just letting you know I’d definitely recommend replacing the Cabin Air Filter. Judging by the original state of the interior, the filter would look the same. It’s just behind the glovebox where you remove a plastic cover held in by 1 or 2 clips, super easy to do and better air quality :)

House neighbours of my parents got a red Nissan Micra K12 and seem to care very lowly about it, it's not looking too dirty but the paint is beginning to fade and look dull compared to my A1 (also red and now almost 10 years old), in winter I don't drive through a car wash monthly but at least clean up bird poo soon and pressure wash it from time to time. But it doesn't make me wonder too much, they got a ton of empty cardboard boxes and other almost trash stuff in the attic and the upper two stairs (but they now reduced that because it's an obvious fire hazard). IMHO the car hasn't be to be too clean (washed engine bays are often suspicious) for sale but damn, give it a good clean outside and inside (so that it doesn't keep you from entering) and it can increase the value massively (I guess it usually gains more resale value than cost you had for the car wash and some cleaning stuff). It reminds me of Ratarossa, he got a Nissan Navara for very cheap in March of 2020 with a bunch of issues but especially the interior was literally contaminated... If it was used in a company, why didn't they pull out a trainee every few months and give him a vacuum cleaner or 2 Euros and drives it to a vacuum cleaner (here nearby me is a car wash and you pay just 1€ for the vacuum and can literally use it for unlimited time (the spots have like metal detectors in the tarmac so it shuts off when you're driving away)).

this car holds a special place in my heart as it was my uncles and he drove me and my sister around when we were kids, it had custom leather seats and is still working to this day

I love psiverwi’s videos so much and I have for several years! Thanks for the entertainment, man!

fantastic video, it was informative and fun to watch :) we had Echos in the states for a few years but only in sedan and coupe style . it is always nice to have fresh tires and fluids in a vehicle

Some hints to people who got inspiration from this video: First of all, never spray any sort of cleaner straight to the area you are going to clean if you are not it's compatible. Spray it onto rag/cloth and test it in somewhere inconspicuous spot near the area. I have seen automotive interior cleaning stuff melt rubber coated buttons, smearing printed text and even causing color from the cloth to transfer into seat upholstery. Second thing. Use gloves when ever you are working with dirty oil, that stuff is really nasty on skin and it can cause rash on some people. Oil from diesel engine is even nastier... Safety goggles are also good thing to have when working with liquids under the car, or anything mechanical when there is risk of stuff flying around you. How about cabin air filter?

I love seeing these car videos; I really like maintaining older things (both cars and computers) so seeing both on your channel is really cool! 😎

Love this automotive content so much! It was called the echo here in Canada as well, though we got the 1.5 litre version. The generation after became the Yaris here and both are very popular for deliveries as well!

I've got the same car (well, its one of my two). Honestly, its a reliable little runabout - and no matter how badly I treat it, I can't kill it - it just won't die. I've had it since about 2011 and its starting to show some problems - for example, the window regulators sometimes get stuck, and the boot latch sometimes doesn't work - but mechanically, its A1 - to the point that my local mechanic asked me if I was ever interested in selling. I said no. Its just too reliable to get rid of.

This is a nice video and good work on this car whilst keeping costs down. One thing that is cheap and easy is polishing the head lights, which was perhaps done, but not shown in the video.

I'm watching you from Tanzania🇹🇿 Africa, where we love toyotas due to their endurance & cost of ownership. Please keep making videos of this little toyota vitz as i plan to buy one for my daily drive

Your videos are informative and also really chill to just sit down and enjoy, keep up the great work!

This is such a perfect example of never judge a book by its cover as this little car, from what I can see and hear, is both mechanically and structurally in excellent order after you guys did all that work. So nice to see folks fixing and keeping these little cars going. :D

I own a 2002 Toyota Echo sedan and I love it so much!! Been following your content for a while and you always make quality videos.

I love the car videos almost more than the technology videos, keep a mix of them coming!! ❤

In Japan, it's always been known as Vitz. The US has had a similar sized sedan and notchback that has used the Yaris and Echo names.

Really great vid! I’ve gone through a similar thing with an echo for my partner, and have recently got one for myself as a daily. The thing about ours is they are both a 1/3 known echo’s in Australia with LPG… takes “cheap to run” to a new level. They certainly do “keep on going”.

Loving these car videos psivewri. Keep it up 👍.

I just have a big sweet spot with these little Toyota echos . I had mine from junior year of high school all the way through college and my first three years at my I.T workplace and even tho my friends back then gave me shit for buying what they were calling "a beater shitbox" and they all had their parents buy them their cars I pulled my ass to buy mine for also 1500 bucks here in the US and it never let me down and gave me such a huge sense of freedom . I have a 2022 bronco sport and yeah I love it so dearly much so I had no use for my little echo so I gave it to my youngest cousin who got her driver's license not too long ago and with 201k miles in the odometer and such a detailed and meticulous history is service and care I reckon it'll go, just like Vanessa Carlton says "a thousand miles" more

this is such a reliable car! if you go into the engine, you should definitely clean the air flow sensor with cleaning spray and change the air filter. You will see a huge difference after that

Hey, great video! I drove a Yaris for about 5 years. That replacement engine was definitely reconditioned, given NZ engines with high KMs burn oil due to the piston rings failing. Before it gets to winter, a quick little bit of advice I would give is that the foam seals on the rear lights tend to fail and lets rain pool around in the boot floor. Toyota sell a new revised gasket for this issue new, but if you apply a strip of silicone between where the light and the body meet that will also work just fine.

One of those relatively cheap Bissel spot clean wet vacs is really great for getting old seats looking near new again. Did this for a few of our old company utes before selling, had to do quite a few passes before the extracted liquid started looking less brown, but overall made an insane difference to both look and smell of the utes (one was a smokers ute), and made them a much easier sell.

I was hoping you'd have a go at those filthy seats with some soapy water and a wet-dry vac (one of the most useful yet most overlooked tools there is). All the best with the new house.

Great video! Plugs did look to bad, good to keep for spares. Also, I usually fill up my filter with oil to help the engine on start up, but only can be done if the filter is vertically upside down. Also, council and recycling depots can take the old oil and coolant too.

Hi! I just couldn't resist opening your video since I had the same car here in Europe, with manual gearbox, it had pretty much same bonnet problem a bit less than yours btw 😂 and way less kilometers, that was my first car and it was a very nice one for the means you've pointed out mainly! Very little maintenance was required with it. I kept it for 5 long years and I was a little sad when I swapped it for a brand new car. But I guess it was time. I'm happy they are still around, you're definitely going to enjoy it 😊

Seats; STEAMER! I got a REALLY gross Fiat Panda and got the seats perfectly clean. A cheap steamer also doesn't cost much, and you will probably use it again in the future (great for removing wallpaper)

At first glance I thought it was the 99' Toyota Vitz listed in the ''Used car dealer II'' in Gran Turismo 4, but no its an Echo, I realized that its just another name plate for this generation and market but both are the same car 😂

Your car videos are amazing! Looking forward to more car videos in the future!

I loved the simple set up and process you went through, makes me feel like I could do the same. Keep it up!

I have bought 2 BA Falcon one tonners this year, both of Facebook marketplace, both for roughly the same amount of money, and both of them have been cleaner inside than that car, and both of my utes were used by tradies. My first BA actually has around 650,000km on it and has been a tradesman’s Ute all its life and besides dog smell, and some dog hair, it is like a Rolls Royce compared to that!! My second BA is only a baby, she’s got 230,000km on her but it got it detailed as soon as I bought it because it was a smokers car. Had to put 3 little trees in it to get rid of the smell. Oh and btw, going by the look of that interior, I’d be swapping over cabin filters as well. No doubt it’s holding a large amount of stench.

I've watched a couple of these videos now. When pouring from oil or coolant bottles, try pouring with the bottle sideways, it helps with the bottle 'glugging' and making a mess, also means you might not need the secondary pouring jugs - otherwise fun to watch and good production quality, keep it up

From 2000-20005 they are called Echo in Canada too. These cars are tanks! Reliable, fuel efficient, roomy, easy and cheap to repair. Probably the favorite car I ever owned, here cars will rust cars to death within 10-15 years on average.

Awesome video! It strikes me how perfect all the metal on that car looks. Good thing you don't live somewere like that uses road salts like we do here in Toronto. It's a little disheartinening how cars waste away from the rust, regardless of how you care for them. My family's bright green 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid was in perfect mechanical condition. 340,000km and not a single leak or engine problem. Even the 15 year old hybrid drive system worked flawlessly! But despite several undercoats and other preventitve measures the poor thing was made of mostly rust by the beginning of this year. One fateful day it was driven over a particularly large downtown pothole, which took out the rear right shock mount. After the impact the shock was only being supported by the structure of the wheel well. That car was so tough that we drove it for a week before the noises and vibration got noticeable, and even then it got us home. R.I.P to the big ol' shrekmobile.

My cars front weighs nearly 900kg this is a whole car,by the way i just found this amazing channel where have you been,keep up the good work!

Look into a coolant funnel, it helps burp the cooling system. Also, what i'd do is run distilled water flushes until it drains clear then fill with 100% coolant. Most times you have enough water in the block to even out to a 50/50 mix.

Another great video, but omg id burn this to the ground lol. Btw i love that you are buying junk cars to practice painting on, it's a great idea and you can always resell the car, even a cheap clearcoat is better than no clearcoat. P.S. Psi, you should get one of those coolant funnels you can keep filled, it helps bleed cooling systems so much easier and they are CHEAP.
