rev up your engines, kg hall says hey Scotty is the LS 430 a good buy seems
like mixed reviews on the reliability, yes that is the truth they have mixed
reviews and the reason they have mixed reviews is because people love them, they
ride great and nice-looking cars, but as they age that's the v8 version, I like the
six-cylinder ones, those are v8 engines the v8
engines cost more money to maintain, a ton more money to repair and they break
more than the six-cylinder ones do, now that's that if you went out and bought a brand
new 8 cylinder Lexus you probably won't have any problems for 100 something
thousand miles, but if you're buying a used one that's already got 150,000
miles, that's how it's gonna cost you some serious money if you keep it
for years to fix, I just see that my own repair business, the ones about the v6's
every single one of them we're happy, but the
one about the eights some of them were happy and some of them weren't
and that's why they get mixed reviews birdman says hey Scotty do you
have any reliability concerns with the new Toyota's dual fuel injection system
and high pressure pump, it's a new system they haven't had it out for that long I
haven't seen any problems yet like GM with their Ecotec engine they had problems
up the wazoo with the high pressure pump
going bad, I mean there's nothing but problems on those things, now Toyota
generally don't have problems but like I always warn people, don't go out and buy
something when it's new, wait until it's been out a few years cuz you'd never know
even Toyota makes mistakes, everybody makes mistakes and you don't want to be
the one stuck with somebody else's mistake, I always wait years on that
stuff because it's a high-pressure system and that a medium pressure system
it's using both it's a very complex thing, I'd wait years to see what they're
like cuz nobody knows yet until they've been out for years and they haven't been
garzo says are PCV valves important to change and so what are the symptoms
pcv stands for positive crankcase ventilation, when I was young mechanic
they didn't have them, they just had a pipe that went off of the engine and
went to the back under the car and it just vented the fumes into the
atmosphere, well that pollutes it so years and years ago in the sixties they
put in PCV valves so those vapors are now sent back into the intake manifold
and they're burnt instead of polluting the atmosphere they burn them up, I mean
they're still gonna be polluting something cuz they're burning them up
but whatever that's the way it's made, they go bad
go bad in two ways, one if they stick shut then you don't get any vent from
the PCV system and you'll blow the oil seals and it's an expensive mess, the
other thing is more often they stick open, so then you suck oil into the
engine and your engine starts burning oil and sucking oil through it, they
cost so little most PCV valves are like eight or ten bucks, it's a good idea every
two or three years just take them out put a
new one in I mean they're inexpensive and most cars they're very easy to change
too, it's not like it's a hard thing to do, Rikka profit says new Ford Fusion or
new Camry, well I'd definitely go new Camry on that I thought the fusions are
pretty good cars, but of course they're not gonna be making them anymore ford is only
making Mustangs and everything else is SUVs and trucks, so you might not
want to buy the last model of a car that they're not gonna make anymore,
one if you get tired of it the resale value will be nothing, where the Camrys
their resale value is insanely high cuz everybody knows what good cars they are,
and most people don't sell them because they like them so much they drive them
forever so it actually makes more sense to buy the
camry overall anyway, morris says what do you think of BG products do they
work, BG products cleaners and oils and stuff, they've been around since I was a
young mechanic, they make really good products especially their fuel injector
cleaners with clogged up fuel injectors that I put that stuff in and then within
two or three hundred miles of driving they go back to running perfectly normal when
they were misfiring cuz the injectors were clogged, now that said if you buy
good gas keep clean fuel filters in the car you generally don't need to put any
additives in at all, that's something that you really don't have to worry
about, but they do make good products and like if you got an old junker car that
wasn't taken care of, or you body used one it's got a worn engine or dirty
injectors sure the BG products are good products, it's just that if you take care
of a car generally you don't need to add anything except regular oil and
regular gasoline, Tristan spinner says I got an 04
Subaru Forester XT with 158 thousand miles, when I'm on boost the
turbo makes a weird sound similar to that of a supercharger any idea
what could be causing it, they just flat we're out on those things
realizes that turbochargers, those things spin and eventually the bearings start
to wear out and they start to make noise, so you want to keep that vehicle I would
say either take out the turbocharger and have it
rebuilt or install a rebuilt one in it before something bad happens, because
they spin so fast that if you wait till the bearings go out completely and it's
spinning, better to fix that one sooner than later, so if you never want to miss
another one of my new car repair videos remembering to ring that Bell!
