Hey you can fix it! That's right, you can fix stuff around your house and your car too. The main ingredients required are common sense, a willingness to learn as you go and common sense. On this channel I'll try to share common household and automotive repairs with an emphasis on doing a good job even if you don't have a lot of big $$$ tools.

As far as the leaks take a bucket of really soapy detergent, really soapy detergent water and start the Bronco up with all windows up and your blower on high heat to pressurize the interior and apply detergent water to roof! Or even a can of shaving cream around roof rack fastener locations! You see bubbles comming you know where your water leak is comming from! Good luck
Everything you described is minor and can be replaced or fixed over time! You got a collector desired vehicle you can work on both mechanically and body wise! Would you rather spend $ 60.000 for a New Bronco made out of plastic! Not me, I got a 89 & 90 I can get parts for and I love those thousands in DA BANK !
This I can't program chips 47
I have a D8S, the options are different and its not working.
There have been several software updates since I posted this. No doubt things look different.
I've been working on getting my '86 automatic B2 into running condition, I can't wait to see more of this!
Do they make a product for removing the crud if not can i suggest a name Evapo-Crud for a future product 😊
Looking forward to your next video. Currently have an automatic 89 that I'm working on. I have all the service manuals so let me know if there's any information I can look up for you.
Very Helpful! Thanks!
Great video! I just bought a 2011 Countryman and was wondering what that sound was. Now I know 😊
I cannot stress this enough, please share what you do to this Bronco on your channel. Bronco 2 content is not as in-depth as other vehicles and we could really use it on here!! When do you anticipate the next video to drop?
I have most of the next video filmed. It does not seem like an exciting topic removing and cleaning/lubricating the door latches, but it was a more work than I expected. For a relatively simple task I wound up waiting on parts a few times and also the combination of days I had free which were also warm/dry outside. I think I've come up with a way to refurbish the original power lock actuators which I might make a separate video out it. The aftermarket ones available range from total junk to Doorman junk.
I found it here. www.sopl.us/uploads/1/3/0/1/1301029/high_security_specs_from_greg_bryant.pdf
Great job figuring all that out! The pdf link seems broken.
Thanks for pointing that out. I just uploaded it to archive.org and updated the link in the video description.
Very impressive had you used any other method likely wouldn’t be any tool left lol.
Interesting.
When programming minis remotes its always best to make sure you use a battery support unit to maintain 13 volts. Very risky and can wreck the car without it
Hey Birt! I’ll be looking for more B2 content. I’m working on an 89 at the moment. Mine is an automatic though. Share some knowledge on it. You seem like a pretty knowledgeable guy. Good luck.
If you have proximity keyfob, you definitely need to spend another $600 for KC501. Don't buy cheap Chinese keyfob either as many cars have aluminum keys and many Chinese made keys are steel which is difficult to cut and ruins your cutter. Bottom line, unless you are locksmith, just get it done at dealer or find a good locksmith. This advice applies even more if you have European made cars. D8 by itself is useless for making keys on a newer cars 2019+.
As I mentioned in the video...I asked XTOOL if the D8 would do what I needed, i.e. allow me to program in FOBs and reset the VANOS adaptation for this 2011 Mini. Programming in 3 FOBs almost paid for the tool. Every key I have seen, that gets inserted into a lock, has been brass with a nickel plating. I have never seen an aluminum or steel key, neither would make sense unless it was a non-contact sort of lock.
The problem that I’m having, I have the same set up that you’re using. I did not update the vehicle so I am going to try to update the cas. But I don’t have any key fobs. Do you have a video programming BMW or mini with no key fobs?
Usually an 'All keys lost' programming of new FOBs is different. Some cars require a programmer that can connect for the car manufacture's network to do some sort of validation. I think XTOOLS can do this on their own, i.e. figure out the unlock code on their own but it is a service you have to pay for per vehicle. I would send them an email and ask if your set up can do this. It is the Chinese New Year now so you won't get a replay for a week or so.
Interesting for sure but since you don't remember the condition and there is no before pictures it's really hard to say what went on.
That is true. I suspect if I had used a mild acid there would have been a different result.
Will be fun to follow on this journey!
I asked CRC, who makes Evapo-Rust about this. They said they have not done any long-term tests and don't recommend treatment longer than necessary. They also said that soaking metals with a higher carbon content will pull that to the surface. After watching the video, they thought it did not look like the wrenches and punches were affected in this way. It was nice of them to respond. Of course, don't leave your tools in ER for 8+ years like I did :)
Great job! Nice repair! You treat your mini very well 🙂
How much for the key cutter equipment?
It is not really 'key cutter' equipment. The Taig CNC mill set up I have is about $2000.
How much would you charge to do my keyfob
I only make my own keys.
It is all great but i don't have a cnc milling machine but i know G programming so i ve to buy a fob from the dealer and program that with the console is this make sense to you?
You might be able to find a locksmith in the area who can cut the key (what Mini calls the 'blade'.) If you buy the FOB from the dealer you will pay $200. Buy from eBay for $20, and have locksmith cut the key. If you have the D8 and KC100 you can program the Mini to accept the new FOB.
This is a great video showing a real life exaple of what it's like. You had the confidence and know-how to do it yourself. Anyone saying that you were screwing up or making mistakes apparently has never worked on a car before because even simple repairs can come with snags. Great video.
Great video!!, Where yhou buy the remote keys? I want buy for BMW 114i and I can't find, if you can help me I will be grateful.
I bought my FOBs from eBay.
I'm gonna start cutting keys and making moneyn
Good luck :)
Thank you for this Step-by-step tutorial. I have A Lexus and an acura. That I need to make keys for. I guess my first step is to contact x tool to see if their unit is compatible
Some manufactures do not like letting third party scan tools do some functions. Some makes/models require paying the manufacture a fee to access a PIN code to program keys. XTOOL and Autel can often handle contacting the manufacture's computer for you but you still have to pay for it.
Thank you Mr. Good information, I will save to buy the d8 so I can program my keys car.
Oh this was was dangerous if it failed your car would be screwd. You gotta supply 13v and you need to do backup just incase
I did make sure I had a fully charged battery before starting. I think anytime you do any programming on a car it is a risk.
@heyyoucanfixit Oh, there is really no risk on cars that are meant to have keys programed. This car isn't your downgrading the cas this isn't supposed to happen. This car, like almost every European car, is made to have keys made without the vehicle present because all keys are preprogrammed when the car is made. So you're manipulating the data on the computer and, in this case, downgrading. You will see that eventually, 1 will fail without a power supply, and you will have a mess in your hands. I mean, I do this job, but I use a power supply every time you need a clean voltage of 13.5
What do you hook up to power source with 13 volts? The Xtool?
@Bluesstreetrods A power supply to car battrey your downgrading the computer if it fails your in trouble.
@segounlocks5029 thanks for the info. My spouses vehicle is a volvo with intermittent keyfob problems so I may use this tip.
Hi, have you generated a BMW E90/91 key by any chance?
Nope, just the Mini and a Ford.
Nice
*Time Well Wasted yes i said that* !! . tool does not stream line the fault code pids for what you wish to view there for you are forced to go throw pages and pages and pages of pids you dont want to find the pids you do want . not very efficient yous of my time .Having to look up more than one ERROR code becomes tedious and tiring in a garage setting .
I use the search function to find the PIDs I want. Very quick and easy.
Way back my parents had the dealer make them a second key for an Explorer, they were charged over $100 and got an aftermarket key....yes, an aftermarket key from the Ford dealer. I then ordered an OEM key from ebay and programmed it, once you have two working keys you can 'self program' more keys, similar to how you can program additional remotes. They wanted almost $100 for a remote and programming...no thanks. I always tell people with this era Ford to keep three working keys so that if they loose one they can program a third and never be stuck going to a dealer or locksmith for programming.
On some vehicles you can program in new keys if you have 2 or more. If you want to disable any lost keys you need a scanner though.
@@heyyoucanfixit And on some, before '98 I think, you only need one working key to add more.
What a lousy design. And the mechanic that replaced my timing belt because it is stretched showed me all these worn out parts that you have replaced in your video. So he just replaced him and I have to worry about it at least for a few more thousand miles. What a stupid car it was my wife’s and she loved it but she passed away from cancer so now I promised her I would keep it because we spent so freaking much money and time with it but I’m about to get rid of it regardless of my promise to my wife on her deathbed. Somethings just have to be done for the living to save my sanity again stupid car I must’ve spent $50,000 after interest and no repairs and I couldn’t get five grand for it probably they would just tell me that I needed to keep it because it’s not worth enough to even trade it in again stupid car have I said it enough? No, stupid car!
It is odd that once they fixed all the problems with this 'Prince' engine design they quit making it. The whole car is like that, a lot of good ideas that were never fully tested before production.
Messing making keys can cost you big time is why the waring. I would take it to the dealer. They screw up they have to fix the mess. Also you made a lot of errors you had to clear. One mess up could cost you a expensive part. Newer cars are really not worth the chance. Dealership has the special factory scanner that we can't get. Around about 2017 its has gotton a lot worse. Sad thing is with these scanner you can find out whats wrong but you need to connect to the factory internet and pay them to get software. Also you need some more stuff to connect to the factory. Unless you do this for a living you are screwed. With the xtool it lets you sorta no what wrong so they can't rip you off at the dealership or a good mechanic that knows his stuff. You did a good job but it took a lot of time.
Except I showed how it can easily be done...
grate video can you please tell me where to get the tool cutting machine?
It is a Taig CNC mill. It is not a dedicated key cutting machine. It can do much more but required more effort on part of the operator. Checkout my website www.soigeneris.com
Is this scanner a stand alone tool ? Does it require an internet connection to program keys? Other than the free updates for 2-3 years does it require a subscription to preform the higher functions ? Thank you I know after free updates end you have to pay for updates , however if you don’t pay for the updates can you still program keys and write ecu for the models already on the tablet ?
I think requiring an internet connection to program keys depends more on the vehicle than the scanner. For example, on the Mini I was working on here if I did not have at least one key I would have required connecting to some service (guessing through BMW). Same goes for programming VIN codes into modules and such. On some cars you have to use a online service from the manufacturer. One HUGE advantage, other than updates, to connecting the scanner to the internet is that XTOOL can download a log from the scanner for a car you had problems with. They did this several times when I was trying to do the Vanos reset/relearn on this Mini. They were able to download the log from my D8 and figure out what the problem was.
@@heyyoucanfixit I recently started researching scanners and found out launch scanners sold on amozon are made for other countries and not for the US market Launch USA does not support them and with launch USA it requires a subscription for the higher functions like key programming and ecu operations. Reviews range from I reprogrammed the space shuttle to big waste of money LoL trying not to waste my money
Do not buy the X tool I bought a brand new D7 straight from X2 it did not last a year I opened it up to see why it quit it had been repaired in three different places and they solder joints were so hot they screwed up the board ribbon cable holder came off the board was not even soldered good junk if you don't believe me go to my KZread you will see
GREAT VIDEO!!! what cutting machine would you recommend to get starter on doing keys? i work at junk yard and we get cars without keys would love to get more into that already own a d7 been great so far TIA!
I do not know anything about actual key cutting machines. I used the small CNC mill I happened to have which required more effort to draw a 3D model of the key, calculate the key cut based on keycode and generate the GCODE. AS I understand it a professional key cutting machine just needs to know the key code and type of key and it can figure out the rest automatically.
How many keys can be programmed
I suspect that will depend on the specific vehicle. They all seem to be able to hold a different, fixed, umber of keys.
You think it can let you code or program remote engine start on BMW’S that didn’t come out with it using the key fob for such BMW’S like the 2017 430i F36 gran coupe BMW ,,, that will be interesting😮
It is best to email XTOOL and ask. They also have a Facebook group and directly answer questions there.
I have a 2007 tundra and it won’t program the Fob.....I have reported it to stool for months and no help! Buy at your own risk!
You shoul try onboar programing Check the videos in KZread Excuse My English
I have always gotten a prompt response from XTOOL. They have a Facebook group, you might try joining and asking there.
I know this question isnt pertaining to the D8 but could you tell me where you were able to purchase your weathertech floor mats for your Ranger? I've recently purchased a 2011 and have been unable to find anyone who has them. Thanks in advance
I got them about 7 years ago. I checked my email and found I got them from AutoAnything dot com. It looks like they might still have them.
@@heyyoucanfixit I found them thank you very much.
Do you need the kc100 to program keys or just the D8 by itself? There is nothing stated that says that you need the add on part to program key fobs
It depends on what sort of FOB you are working with. When I did my Ford Ranger I did not need the KC-100 to program it to accept new chipped keys. For the Mini, since it uses an RFID type FOB you need the KC-100 to read the code off the FOB so you can program it into the car. You can contact XTOOL and ask about your particular vehicle. They are really good about answering questions quickly.
You use kc100 to precode keys for European cars
Hi with this xtool scanner can you add keys to a mini cooper that doesn't have any keys at all
Have you attempted this with the D-7? I just ordered one, and it’s advertised as doing the same function.
What do you mean by readaptation for VANOS? What kind of readaptation are you looking for ?
When you replace parts in the VANOS (variable valve timing) system you need to reset/relearn the VANOS adaptations. The D8 will do this. The prompts were a bit confusing, but they were very receptive to feedback and have improved it greatly.
@@heyyoucanfixit Thanks subscribed! Which one would you recommend D8 with KC100 or Autel MaxiIM IM508 with XP200?
Great video, I just ordered the scan tool, excited to see what it can do.
