We give you step by step advanced tutorials to repair automotive problems. We try to have fun and present you with all of the information that you need to do these jobs yourself and hopefully have a few laughs along the way. The cars in the videos are all real cars with real problems that we really do fix.

How do you ensure that the belt tension is correct when installing the new alternator?
Technically there is a tension gauge. But I just feel the belt.
I was driving in the Palm Desert in California yesterday (115°F) and my car threw this code. I’m going to attempt this repair myself soon. My question is, will running the car after connecting the tubes naturally clear air out of the system? Is there anything special needed to clear the system of air after installing the new pump?
Keep the reservoir cap off and the reservoir full while running. After about 5 minutes, all the air will be out and out the cap back on.
Thanks!!
What happen to the ase test prep series? All the videos are gone
They were flagged for copyright violation. We are working on a backup plan.
@@automotiveinsight dang , those really helped me with ase tests, hopefully you guys can figure out a way around the copyright issues
@@48fleetthank you. That means a lot to us. We’ve got a solution. Just haven’t had time to film them yet.
1960s engines are engineering marvels compared to the nightmares of needless complexities that have been added. Glad I chose an S type over an F. Not any more fun to work on but the ride is worth it.
thank you, got it changed today, doable job but needs patience
Could you please tell me where the relay is for this or does it not have one this one that I'm working on it will work when we hit a bump but only when we hit a bump and it blows forever until you cut the engine off looking for the relay I ain't been able to find it so far appreciate if you would give me some help
😮Great Video 😮
On 2:08 there's a black gasket that is not included on any aftermarket starters. Of course an after market is what I have, and I misplaced old gasket (long story). I went on and special ordered a new gasket from the dealer. My question is will it hurt if i put starter back on for a few days before getting gasket (I mean even the dealer found this gasket to be odd, but I'm sure it serves some purpose). Putting starter on and taking it off again is definitely more time efficient than shuttling my wife around for a few days 🤷🏾♂️
This is a really good diagnostic video..love the process!
low volume can not hear what was said
Turn up the volume then???
Nice work thanks for sharing!
Man I wish I would’ve seen this before I did my pump a few months ago. That bracket is a bit of extra work to take off, that bolt that goes to the body is in a tight spot. Not a huge deal but would’ve saved me time to just take off the pump and put new pump on the old bracket.
If you have a Duramax, get one, you won't regret it. It runs both static and driving regen's plus it does DEF quality test and many others.
Thanks
Watched Topscan Review and found one issue with video. You stated it could still read and delete codes after subscription ends in one year and Topdon website says you cant. All other functions will lose access, including but not limited to the following: * Full system diagnostics * Read & clear fault codes * Read data stream * Bidirectional control * Maintenance * IMMO (Pro version) * Software updates
I'm getting P0015 and P0017 on my 2011 camry se v6. But when I accelerate the engine starts to chug like shake a bit. Is it still OCV ?
crankshaft sensor is a common failure on this car, usually after engine is hot. We replace tons of them in our dealership
15 is power with key on, 30 battery power, 31 is ground
Just eliminate auxiliary battery if you’re not using the start stop function. Connect pos to pos and neg to neg battery terminal. Not rocket science. Lol
nice vid, I want to replace all 4 OCV's on my 3.5L like you did, what are the part numbers for the valves?
Great vid. Just what I was looking for. Many thanks.
Thank you for this video
I have a 2011 2.0 Buick. Just for preventive maintenance I purchased PCV valve. I'm having problems locating it. Is it inside the stainless looking tube coming off back of engine? or inline from the intake
Topscan installs chinese spyware on your car and phone
I just changed the abs actuator and bleed the system and the same codes came back, c1256, c1252, c1253. It seems like the booster pump is the part that cant hold the pressure. I never had the C1391 code. I gambled snd lost, lol. Is it possible to replace pump without removing the actuator? I really want avoid having to remove all the brake lines, as one of the brake lines gave me trouble leaking.
i’m just going to change the gasket, do i need to take out the coolant?
You make it look easier than it is..I wish I had a lift and a shop and lots of tools..and knowledge..great job!
Great job. Love your videos
Excellent video thank you very much, great work
The best review of the topdon scanner tool that I could find. 👍
Thank you!
Any reman alternator that does not come with the bushing in the service position is a crap alternator. Also, just remove the fans and forget the motor mount removal.
Imagine being in the UK and having to drop the steering column
I have a 2004-2008 ford f150 5.4L with a p1000 code will it fix it
P1000 just means that the monitors haven’t run. You need to drive it until all the monitors have completed then the code will go away.
I've been working on this car in my front yard and it hasn't moved every time I put it in drive , It's stop the engine 😮😮😮
I have a video if u want to is They keep saying that I need to recalibrate the electric throttle body
Would love to see a comparison between this and the xtool anyscan A30m . The topscan is cheaper upfront, but the A30m is supposed to be the same with free lifetime updates.
If they send us one, we’ll definitely make a video. As for now, we have like 10 scan tools between us and really can’t justify buying another one.
Will this do Airbag diagnosis? Toyota
You can get codes but no data. Check out our topdon topscan video. That tool should work for about the same price.
Great video
You saved me a lot of money at the dealership. Thank you!
Do you need to change the transmission filter?
Do you know what pressure on rail should be i replaced my injectors and my scanner is reading 8660 kpa is that normal or low
Do you have a link for the part you use at the end on the wores that go to the pcm?
think i could slap a 2011 civic vsa setup on my 13 civic?
Good job except when you put the rear part of the shaft back on the rear end you yellow alignment marks were not lined up,these shafts are all balanced and it can make a difference 😮
Your
1:58 I mention that you mark them because they’re balanced. 12:28 on the left side of the driveshaft you can see both of the marks I made. There was some big yellow thing in the right side but that was there before we got started and I don’t know what it was.
2:05 😅big black guy😮😂
Does the tablet allow more pids to be shown on display?
I haven’t seen anyone try the key immobilizer feature. Does it work?
The one we were testing was the lite and it doesn’t have immobilizer functions. My understanding is that the pro version does, but I haven’t been able to personally confirm it.
@@automotiveinsight the lite does have the immobilizer feature I just don’t know if it works. I don’t have a vehicle I can test it on. I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500. I do see the feature I just don’t know if it actually works
My acadia is 2011 it seem as similar setup i havent checked but does every year of these cars 2007-2012 have wires that go to high pressure pump
Looks like a great tool for diagnostics! We sent you an email, take a look.
Great video, guys! Any thoughts on the Topdon Topscan Pro?
Haven’t had any personal experience with it, but I know it will do some keys and has a few different service functions such as tpms programming. I’d say it’s probably worth the $40 price difference.
@@automotiveinsight Yes, thanks again.
WTF do you.. KZreadrs insist on the stupid drop ins... Stop it.
Adjusting the yoke on the master cylinder is much easier out of the car. I did not follow that advice one time and had to do it under the dash.
Where did you purchase this kit?
