Rev up your engines, bb says I got an 05 acura, the window when
you roll it up and down it doesn't wipe the rain or water anymore and makes it hard to
drive when it's wet, is this my weatherstrip going bad, yeah you know it probably is wearing
but here's something you can try first and I've had some pretty good luck with it, I
use silicone lubricant spray on window seal strips, it's really good for lubricating it
and making them work better, and if you find that you do that and wipe off the excess and
do it a few times and then it starts wiping better, hey great, and you might also get
some of what I use and I've had the greatest luck with that is, instead of using stuff
that you spray on the windows that's suppose to keep them beading up and stuff, I find
that if you use a polish instead, and I use this polish it comes in an orange can, and
you polish your paint with it too on your car, but I also do the windows and the windscreen,
and whoa it beads up the water much better that way you might try that, I've had really
good luck with that, muller says I got a toyota aygo the catalytic converter fails every 200
km any ideas, ok catalytic converters unless their built wrong, volvos years ago built
them wrong and the substrata inside the shell would break and it would rattle and come apart,
that was a manufacturing flaw, well they generally go bad because there's a problem in the engine
and that ruins them, like if you have a car that burn oil, the oil burning carbon gets
stuck in the little holes and it ruins the catalytic converter, or if you have an engine
that runs lean, a lean engine makes real hot exhaust gas, then the hot exhaust gas ruins
the catalytic converter, so you got to find out what's ruining the catalytic converter,
and odds are you got a problem in the engine, or in the engine management system where it's
running too rich or too lean, check that out because the catalytic converters can't go
bad that fast unless something is burning them out, daniel says scotty good morning
from Montreal hey a lot of people from Canada today, which do you think is better, a manual
transmission or an automatic, I was always a manual transmission guy, cuz I always drove
motorcycles, and there's only one automatic one I've ever seen it was a Honda 750 automatic
transmission motorcycle and it was a piece of junk everybody hated it, but today the
automatic transmissions are much better made than they used to be, and I was impressed
last year when I got a mustang for a week and it had the new 10 speed automatic transmission,
it was actually better than the manual transmission, it was faster it got better gas mileage, cuz
the computers are made these days that they can shift faster than you can if you put them
into the sport racing mode and they can get better gas mileage than you can in a manual
by putting it in economy mode, everything is computer run, now that said their going
to cost a fortune to repair when they break I'm not arguing that, most people if they
drive in heavy areas, your in Montreal I've been there a lot, and man people drive like
maniacs there, and there's a lot of traffic jams, so most people probably want an automatic
transmission, and you get something like a Toyota that they rarely break in, most people
are going to buy an automatic transmission, cj says hey scotty is a 1988 super sport monte
carlo a run around daily car, thanks for all you do have a bless day ok, gm quality meh,
but that's 1988 and back then they were making the things better, there's no arguing it,
if it's in good shape and doesn't have too many miles it could be a fun drive around
car, but realize you're talking about 1988, what's that mean a 31 year old car, I got
customers that drive older cars, and most of them realize their good toys, but as for
daily cars meh, their old stuff's going to break and leak and the ac is going to break
and if you live in Texas your not going to like that, now if you live in Canada or something
where you don't really need ac you don't care so, but you'd want a mechanic to check something
like that out before you buy it, just to see what kind of shape it's in before you even
go, hm says Mr. Scotty I got a mustang and lately when I fill it up the gas tank capacity
has decreased by 2 gallons what could be the cause of this, if you've got one of those
weirdo readouts that says you know how many gallons you have left, those things are highly
inaccurate as they age, that's just what happens to them, and if you got one of those systems,
it's just breaking down and normally it's the sending unit in the gas tank being off
a little bit, meh you know I'd kind of live with it because like everything that's electronic
as they age they often get off a little bit, you know I mean even my computers, sometimes
they just say oh not connected to the internet, I know their connected to the internet cuz
all my other internet stuff are all working at the same time, they get old weird things
happen sometimes, meh as long as it works ok I'd ignore it I wouldn't pull the gas tank
off to change all that stuff inside there, it really isn't worth it,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
