Hi CZcams ! I'm Jonathan , I've been wrenching on cars ever since I was old enough to do so. Everything I've learned about cars came from much research and hands on experience.With a passion for fixing vehicles I decided to attend school for it. I was interested in mechanics but I figured I "knew" what I was doing more or less in that field so ended up attending collision repair classes . I started with a class of nearly thirty students and at the very end I was among one of the three students that graduated . I worked in the collision industry for just over two years and decided to take a break from it . I'm glad to have the knowledge and experience as a collision repair specialist but I found that I really enjoy the mechanics side of the business. With my third child on her way into this world I took a job outside of the automotive industry . Now I make these CZcams videos out of my garage on my free time. It's very difficult to balance everything but my subscribers keep me going.

Rusting pile of Junk Like Mine
Hi i got same problem how much it will cost to have a idea to fix it ..time and parts?
I finally got my headlights replaced. Helped a ton, but also turned out I needed glasses lol 😂
Duuuuude!!!! I love your work and attention to detail. I’m in awe and have a huge smile full of appreciation. Pieced my car together to get it to run and now I will go back and redo a lot to your standards… just need the right tools to make it happen 😎🤙
Thank you, I appreciate the comment 💪 . Nice! I'm trying to get mine started
Pls I had the same issue with my own hyundai santa Fe 2011, I have changed the fuel pump with the crank switch sensor, but it is still not starting pls what could be the fault?
I was hoping this was the problem with mine...but I got in there and mines not broken where I can just put a zip tie on it it's still connected but doesn't move when I turn the vent selection switch. I guess it's the switch itself? If anyone knows what it is I'd appreciate it if you could please let me know. Thanks.
Did he seriously say LT on chevys mean LITTLE TURBO? lol that is a new one but I like it and will use it in the future for people that do not know much about vehicles
have had bmw 87 reg 318e carb. never changed oil in 3 years just added…and engine undel valve cover was clean as cats balls
Hey bro is this the same as the 1998 saturn sc2? 😅
What wheel bearing brand you put on? trynna get mine done.
Not sure I remember. Probably a Timkin
In Europe we dont have this sludge problem. We ran engine oils up to 15k miles all the time. What a trashy fuel you have!
The high pressure fuel pump tapet installed upside down. The roller in the tapet should ride on the exhust camshaft.
I talk about that in this video or the next one.
I need to replace my rear bushings on my bu and I’m dreading it. Glad you posted this video to show the slotted case for it! Great idea
Awesome in-depth video. Thanks brother! 🤙🏽
23 nm is the torque specks the Mercedes Sway Bar Link Kit - I got the info from FCPEURO.
love your thoroughness,need to do all this to my Altima,but the lighting in your video was poor ,need to find another instructional video thanx for the upload.
Nice touch Jedi. ..very nice
Awesome video! I've been facing the same frustrations and worse with my 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, which has almost 265K on the clock. Only thing is, I DID break off a spark plug in the cylinder head. But in your case, your perseverance paid off! Thanks for the tip on re-tapping the cylinder head. I should have done that with Cylinder #4... Another tip in a different video recommended tapping on the top of the wrench with a small hammer or even a rock. Maybe I'll try that too. Great job! You have inspired me to press on!
Great. Best video I've seen so far. Very clear and helpful. Thanks!
This is watching art in motion
The part you got the arrow do you have part number I need one
How much can a job like this cost?
Thank you !!!! Very informative!!!
Thanks great video.
What fitting did you use for water pump and what hose did you run ?
Well presented video. I got my Patriot when my dad passed and the rear bearings are howling on the highway. (He was hard of hearing) I may need that astro tool set.
Your good I like it vary good simple lov it
never seen that much trash in the engine
Yeah it's crazy
WD40 worked great, thanks! I used that along with a blue non-scratch Scotch-Brite sponge. No soaking or waiting required!
I would never buy a Nissan again just because of this..to change a headlight is a full day’s work
Where is this link?is there a recall on this?
super awesome 👌🏾
May I ask you your opinion on the rear left light assembly on a 2015 Altima SV . So I swapped all lights to LEDs in and out the car . Good quality LEDs. So I replaced the led new and still didn't work so I ordered the harness that's attachable I hope that works . I changed the fuses they were blowned and still didn't work . May I ask what do you think It could be I hope what I ordered works???
Take out the LED and put in regular bulbs. The car was designed to use regular bulbs
@@themechanic6117 ok ty for getting back
One of the best instructional DIY videos on CZcams!! Thanks for this 👍🏽
Sweet channel! What was your sub frame solution?
What do you mean? What's wrong with the subframe ?
Genius idea, well done too! And indeed, the birds know their stuff it seems LOL Congrats on the new place!!!
🤣 , thank you !
I’m going to check the fuses first then move on to the pump. I was thinking about doing the hammer method but I’m just gonna but that tools to remove the ring

dealer techs get paid half what they normally do to do warranty work. once you know that, it makes sense. that system is messed up, how is it on the tech at all when a part fails when they had nothing to do with it. sure maybe if it was a comeback and they were working on it but not manufacuter defect.
I agree with you
These cars have EASY FIXES. I don't blame her for keeping it.
It is a relatively easy car to work on 👍
That Bim extension looks the part. Gonna pick one of those up in the future 👍
It's been very useful. Wish I got it sooner
Coolant leak in a Chevy Cruze?!? 🙄
I know right ... 🤣
I can see how a tech who wasn't paying attention would make that mistake, there are two top sealing surfaces on that water pump, not just one. He carefully cleaned the bottom one but forgot the top one. One thing I've noticed about reman pumps from NAPA is how many come with the cheapest paper gasket. Lately I've been ordering the gasket separately and the quality difference is amazing.
If that person works at the dealer they should be familiar with this job . I'm sure the person missed that sealing surface but how that happens is beyond me lol . Yeah I'm not a fan of these paper gaskets but they can be beneficial if the sealing surface is pitted (with a thin layer of RTV) , a metal gasket wouldn't seal on a surface like that . That's a good idea . In the future I need to look into buying a second better quality gasket if it's available. 👍
Omg same problem never would have figured it out without your post thanks so much
Dealerships are the worst. I had a timing belt and water pump replaced at a dealership and they messed up the timing and the car started misfiring and the check engine light came on. I went back to the dealership and they said it wasn't their problem and something else was wrong with the car. Since then i have never gone back to dealership for any kind of service. The most dishonest people work in Dealerships.
Wow that sucks, it can definitely leave a sour taste
Yeah big time. Since then never been back to dealership in over 12 years.
I hate going to any dealer. They talk to you like you're dumb and always try to sell you a car 😅
Yeah they do make you feel like your dumb and very deceptive with the pricing of the car.
It's egregious, outrageous and preposterous! I blame flat rate for crap like that. Good job fixing it properly. Now go to that ladies house tonight and swap the springs back lol
One could argue it would have been cheaper to have me fix it the first time. ....yes, I want my damn spring back ! 🤣
I would hope she gets her money back for the bad service twice!
It was under some recall so she didn't pay anything. If she had paid for that service it would have only made everything worse.
May I ask you I installed last yr leds on the entire car bumper to bumper. So the left rear brake led doesn't work I replaced it still don't work I was thinking of replacing the the wire harness that's attachable . I replaced the fuse that didn't work either. may i ask What do you think it could be. Yes I have a 2015 altima sv .
That leaking water pump story showed just how much of a waste of time and money poor work ethics can create. I am glad you found that spring, that would have drove me crazy.
Exactly, had it been done right the first time ,it would have spared a bunch of wasted time and money. I'm glad I found it too. It's good to get the car running but there always that doubt in your mind about what happened to the spring. It all worked out in the end.
