rev up your engines, 6 outlast 30 something do you think top tier gas is
worth pursuing or is the detergent most gas adequate for injectors you got a
normal car regular gas is perfectly fine by law in the United States all the
gasolines have to meet certain standards so this top tier thing is something that
the manufacturers decided to make up and of course the gas companies are more
than happy to sell gas at a higher price and oh you got a normal car corolla
or Ford Focus or something they're made to run perfectly normal on regular
gasoline and you're not gonna have any problems with it a lot of that stuff is
just marketing I mean I remember years ago on my father in a Texaco gas station
the high test gas cost a whole bunch more than the regular gasoline it still
does and so my father said hey how come it's so much more he did some research I
found out that back in those days the first guess was cheaper let's say it was
35 cents a gallon more for the high test than the regular turns not only cost them
like 2 cents a gallon extra to make it better the rest was their profit extra that
they stock in back in those days it went the whole way to the United States
government gasoline manufacturers just said oh well watch our ads we only
advertise our high octane gas so we get to charge more because we have to pay
for our advertising then the government said ok that's cool they let them do it
and that's one of the reasons to cost so much more little history factor Davos s
Connie what's the cause of fuel smell in a car when a tank is full ok if it
smells mainly when the tank is full then you've got some kind of a fault in the
event system now the first thing just find out a gas cap it couldn't be that
simple it could be that it's not sealing and the fumes are coming out of the gas
cap originally cars are made so that they did vent out the gas cap but that
was ages ago when I was young in the sixties when everything's just vana
vented to the atmosphere they didn't have PCV valves there were just a little
tube and it just vented right out under the engine try gas cap now if that
doesn't fix it it's often the evap vent valve because when you fill it up
there's all those fumes and if the evap vent valve is stuck open it
there it's supposed to be close but when they break if they break open you'll
smell it so help mechanic check the evap vent valve it's on the canister charcoal
canister laflamme says Scottu love your vids I want to ask you if you buy 2009
Audi a4 2.0 turbo Quattro sedan no those are horrible cars my neighbor had an
older version of that was the biggest pile of junk
it was a standard transmission you'd think hey it could last the
standard transmission actually exploded when he was driving a pieces came out of
it they're endless money pits do not buy especially a 2.0 turbo Volkswagen or
Audi it's the same engine they're just terrible engines as they age they burn
oil I the turbos burning air conditioners right they're just endless
money pits if you ever wanted a car like that lease one and then you know how
much money you're wasting your waste anymore and if it's new you don't have
to pay for repairs cuz it's under warranty don't ever buy one
Billy G says I gotta a 08 accord and the crankshaft sensor was replaced with
the Honda OEM part but I still have the code what could be wrong it's 11 years
old the most common thing I see on that the timing chain is worn as they stretch
then the data that comes off these sensors is often skewed and so the
computer doesn't know it doesn't have any way of measuring how long the tiny
chain is but if the time you changed stretch the data coming to it from the
sensors is gonna be off and it often still trip the code even though there's
nothing wrong with the sensor itself have a mechanic check to see if your
timing chain is stretched if it's not that than generally it's the wiring
going to the sensor or the main computer has a problem in the circuit if the car
was ever flooded out it's probably the computer just it can break the driver
circuit and then it'll never give the right data because the computer is frying inside
in that particular part belly Ziggy says are all CV transmissions bad
well not all equally bad originally yes they were in my grandfather's day he was
a mechanic they had built some CVT transmissions and our garage isn't loose
to New York and you had to go down the escarpment which is a giant Hill that
used to be the edge of the giant lake the trunk and turn to Lake Ontario and
those you could go down the hill but you couldn't make it back up again they slip
so much but that was a long time ago now hey they're not better than they used to
be but as far as I'm concerned they're still not perfected the best
ones that I see out there are the Aisin ones that toyota manufactures the worst
are the jackal ones the Nissan owns the company so I'm still not happy with it
they got him down pat but from what I see the best ones out there
Toyota's my son's got a Corolla that he bought brand new when he loves it he
says he gets better gas mileage and there's more pickup then the thing was
even rated for so if anybody makes them still but I'm still not a fan I wait
until they've been out for a really long time for I'll buy one I am a box I ask
say Scotty 104 Ford Falcon a v8 you must live in Australia after five to six days
to leave and it won't start better you can go there quickly shouldn't know you
got you got a parasitic drain when a car shut off it's draining the battery I got
a video how to fix my battery draining your fire watch that it explains it all
but basically all you got to do is get a test meter and get a variable resistor
put it in line check the voltage reading and it shows how much amperage you can
have something's drain it and when you do that test you see the drain then
start pulling fuses and when the drain goes away whatever that fuse runs as a
problem then you either fix that or you leave that fuse out if it's something
you don't care about like maybe interior lights you don't care about you leave it
on but you got to find what's draining and then take that fuse out and when it
stops either fix it or leave the fuse out a pheromone 1919 Scotty I got a
Mazda Protege five the clutch pedal sticking even though I changed the
master and a slave cylinder okay there's only two things gonna be wrong pray you
didn't bleed the air out because if you didn't bleed the air out it'll still
stick and it won't come up the whole way but if you got all the air out of it
then you're gonna have to pull off the transmission cuz you're gonna need a new
clutch when the clutch itself wears out it won't come back if the clutch springs
are breaking in you want to pray then it doesn't have any internal transmission
damage that's making it do it but 99.9 percent of the time you got air in the
system or you need a new clutch when you buy a clutch you buy the whole set my
clutch set throw out bearing the clutch plate the friction plate and if it's got
a carrier bearing there to change them all they come in kits and they're not
all that expensive so if you never want to miss another one
