Wow how amazing this video is I'm sure glad you made this video it helped me out big time. Thanks Sir.
Brilliant.
I'm really struggling to replace my driver side mirror. I've got the right mirror part but it's like in a casing that I'm baffled by. My mechanic is very good but he can't get the the right part or know how to fix it. There are also two wires that appear to be soldered onto the mirror. My car is a standard 2007 9,3, is there any way I can show you photos of my wing mirror and ask for your advice?
I have an 06 Saab 9-3 1.8t convertible that will crank but not start. It was running fine up until Christmas but then stood for 2 weeks unused, when I tried to start it, it would crank but not start. I have had the AA out to it who said it was the fuel pump, so I changed the fuel pump to no avail. I changed the CPS, also no luck. An electric diagnostic said there was a constant “Alarm not leant” fault and an intermittent “Main relay” error. The car will start with Easy Start sprayed in to the intake, it also started with a direct feed from the battery to the fuel pump. All fuses and relays have been checked. It was running absolutely fine until it refused to start. Can you suggest what it might be? Thanks
Hi any easy way to clean the turbo/vanes on the hot side? cheers
Hi I've got the same fault. No crank traction control failure fuel gauge doesn't work and fuel pump doesn't prime. Tried your by pass but still didn't work. Took the abs module apart and all connections look ok. I'll re solder them anyway but any other ideas ta
I have just bought a nice 2008 1.9 TID vector sport cabriolet - when i go into settings i dont have an option to add a phone - which seems very odd? Anyone else had same issue?
Gping to try this in the morning as my belt has come off completely 😂
How are on rainy days
I change my suspension Today but they only had one mount so they put the same old mount after changing the arms and front suspension 😢
Need an service kit for Volvo Xc60 T60 engine i think fuel injectors are Denso 0620 7G9N-AC if u know where to find em will be great help
Excelente video amigo, tengo una pregunta 🙋🏻♂️, este kit de reparación servirá para inyectores Infiniti 2011 M37.? Gracias 🙏🏻 si pudiera orientarme. Excelente contenido
Thanks for this, I have to do the gearbox oil on a 1.2 polo I bought as an emergency car when my old Mazda 323 failed it's MOT. The gearbox is whining a bit too much and all the suggestions online say that the gearbox might not have enough oil in it so a drain and refill is my first attempt to keep the car on the road until I can repair the Mazda.
My shafts have started to make the popping noise when i turn. Can i repack them and replace the boots or is it time for new shafts?
My car has the system equipped but the setting menu does not come up
This is precisely how an informative DYI video should be done. bravo!
very detailed informative video. Thank you.
great, going to give this a try rather than pull the joint off !
Got to say bud. These videos are a massive help. I've a Citroen C1 myself and you've helped save me alot of cash. So thank you very much your videos are very much appreciated. Thank you for your service
Very good thank you. Now, I just need to figure out what a 'spanner' is ? (Kidding)...
again you video was useful to me. Thank you
Could I do this with super glue?
I have a 2019 escape so the model before this one but my mass air flow sensor does not budge if I try to turn it. It’s not bolted in and it looks very similar to this one but when I try to twist it, it does not move and it seems as though I will break it.
I since discovered that there is a small plastic tab on the sensor that you have to lift up on allowing you to turn it. After lifting up on that I was able to turn it 1/4 turn and then after some wiggling and hard pulling it came right out: I think it was stuck in place a little because of the O-ring on it.
how do i use the headlight washers
Lovely video. Thank you. I have a question … do you have a red wire coming off your positive terminal at battery. ? On ours It goes into a plug that has a green relay (4 pin and it says 03608) on ours the wire has snapped off and the crimp terminal is snapped off the relay In the plug 👀🙈😩 Do you know what this is for? And also I can’t find a relay with that number anywere on the internet ? 😕 many thanks
extra fun when the line is on the car still!
Tryed on mine dont work idk what the heck im doing wrong
Did this recently, passenger rear came off OK, drivers rear one bolt seized, just like your video. Luckily we had access to some oxy propane, Warmed it up and eventually it came free..... But.... If I'd seen you working magic again cyd, I'd have gone down the rivnut avenue. Well done for a nice engineering solution, to rust, time, and lack of a sealing rubber cover. 👍
would plastic cable ties be ok for a temporary fix? or will they melt from the heat?
Excellent tutorial!
--- I have a Saab 9-3, model year 2003, version 2. When I park the car and leave it for 8-10 hours, it won't start in the morning. All the electronics work (like the radio and lights), but the engine doesn't get power to start. To get the car running, I open the hood and connect a cable from the starter relay to the negative terminal on the battery while the ignition is on. The car then starts immediately. After this, I can start the car normally with the key until I leave it again for several hours, and the problem occurs again. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Just buy the good tiers
Just because you whistled, I’m giving you a like 😂
brilliant video - just what i was after, ordered a new pump will take of the old one now, may thanks
Thank you for good guide :) but your overgrown nails are scary me :o
I have done everything as per this video, as my cabin light stopped working, what's looked like due to water leak and corrosion. Ordered a new unit from ebay and still no joy? Any idea what it could be ? Is the fuse blown possibly?
Any idea why my cabin light isnt working. Thinking itvwas faulty, i actually purchased a new unit from ebay with lights in it. Installed but still no joy. Can it be for a faulty fuse?
Merci pour le partage !!!!!!
Found your videos while looking up about replacing our smashed driver side light on our 2007 93 sedan. So 2003 up to 2012 sedan would use the same housing, just later they would be the "iceblock" kind?
I'm not able to push the red locks open on the connector. Am I doing something wrong here? Edit: nevermind! I solved it!!
Hi Cyd, love the vids, would you have any recommendations for greasing or what lubrication is good for car door hinges please?
i just reinstaled my clutch after changing the disc and i forgot to reset the pressure plate, i hope it works, i been told that if u dont reset it u might not be able to disengage from the flywheel
@@junitomaster6689 I'm unable to disengage it too. Starting to think this is my problem cause I did everything else correct
Hi, Great Video, thanks. Did you ever add feedback on how good the spark plugs where over standard? I've priced them up and they are 3 times more expensive, just wondered if they where worth the extra cost? Thanks.
I applied some DeOxit 100 to the pads and brushes for extra cleaning. Mine had some good corrosion on one pad. I put off cleaning the ISM for awhile, but the occasional SCL error, become regular errors. Regular errors turned into multiple turns of key to start, loss of cruise control, and even non-functional turn signals. Its only been a couple days since cleaning, but everything is back to normal. Now its the occasional drip of oil and coolant which I've attempted to fix twice and simply live with now. If anyone has suggestions to address a 2.8T passenger side coolant leak down the side of the block let me know. Ive already replaced the water pump and gasket which addressed most of it, but I still get a drip every other day.
Hi just thought I'd let you know that the key cutting service is no longer available. Thanks for all your help, my go to for trying to keep my Saab 93 aero going 😅
Amazing video thank you
Thank you.think u solved it.thanks
For the vacuum lines only can you use 8mm silicone hose?
