Can we use wd-40 spray
Scotty, my car grinds quite loudly while I am releasing the clutch pedal after putting it in gear. It even does so ever so slightly while in neutral. I thought it was the clutch, but turns out it's not...
edit: it's only when partial clutch engagement does it grind... at fully depressed clutch and fully released clutch, she's fine and dandy.
You are a top bloke Scotty.
Hi Scotty.
I've a Nissan note (2010 UK model) that's got an annoying knocking coming from the front drivers side suspension.
I recently had both front wheel bearings replaced, but the knocking has got worse over time.
Any advice would be MASSIVELY appreciated.
BIG respect from a UK viewer.
Your channel is the finest of its kind. Love it.
شكراً thanks

Yup, they come pre rusted from the factory.
Not as rusty as the last 2 Chevy's I've owned. Both off the road in less than 10 years
When I first started watching your show, I wasn't much impressed. Over time, though, I have come to respect your mechanic abilities and your presentations. Many of the items you have discussed,
I have tried or asked around, and you are pretty much right on. I am pleased to say that you are one of the better mechanics, and you present actionable info that I am able to use on my vehicles. So, humbly, I say, thank you, Scotty. You're doing good !!!!
I like all the good advice except when someone say to put a good quality part if you intend to keep the car for years or in other words you can put a poor quality part if you are selling the car . This puts me off. I have always put the part, as if I am keeping the car for years despite knowing that I may be selling my car soon. It's cheating, if someone has two standards: one for self and one for others.!
You're doing well as opposed to you're doing good Mr. PhD
You were right at first! ; ;
@@ECKER-ELECTRICAL He's saying that Scotty is doing good for the world. ie, a do-gooder. He's not saying that Scotty is performing well, though he could say that Scotty is doing well at doing good.
Scotty, your videos are so good, I love all your solutions. You saved me many thousands of Euros the last 5 years (cat cleaning, brake cleaning, ... the list is endless!) 🤗
I really appreciate that you are sharing these well edited videos and saving us many hundreds of Euros a year.
But most of all, I appreciate you for "publishing" your many years of professional knowledge in public, as you have worked hard for your knowledge and experience in the past decades.
You are a truly kind, helpful, good an honest person! Thank you on behalf of myself and all viewers! 👍👍👍
I’m a flight nurse on an EMS helicopter .
The guys ( and gals ) that do the maintenance on our helicopters use that product same as you & on hoses & hydraulic lines. We really prefer not to have failures while in flight. I’ve heard them preach the same message as you.
Thanks Scotty.
Yeah, FIF bad!
Most of those hoses are Teflon steel braided. I would never apply a product to a helicopter without MFG approval bad things can happen. Been a jet mechanic for 12 years.
I’m an instructor at a major Part 142 school... either A.) you’re going to cause, not prevent, a problem, and B.) are wasting time and $$$.
Nurses are the best (wife is a NNICU nurse)
Well I'm a school teacher and e everything said here,. I have no clue about LOL... So use this or not?
Am I the only one at 3am checking my damn suspension because of Scotty?!
😁 I was just thinking about going and checking my power steering fluid and it's 4:50 a.m. and then I read your comment and now I feel nauseous is that that too funny
Nah, it's 0417 in the morning. God, I need to get a life... Thanks Scotty.
2:18 at the moment lol, nope!
Lol naw Scotty got great advice checking everything 😂
😃😂
Scotty has single handedly caused the price of AT 205 to sky rocket! I'd recommend getting a similar product from a different maker.
Amen on the AT-205. Per your video started using it on both my 8 year old car and my 28 year old car. I clean what I can with windex then apply AT-205. It really works just like you say . Am delighted to have leaned about it from you.
maybe if you just clean you will notice the same results
Scotty's memes are priceless!! 😂
They may be their own thing.
rev up your memes

I have mentioned that myself. Although, with time, you kinda get used to it.... Ha !!! Be well, Jonas.
Haaaa
S o true
Yeah, that Check's Out. 👍
Scotty is the Einstein of automobile mechanics. He holds an amazing amount of knowledge and thorough practical auto-mechanical/electrical/computer work experience.
"live free or die" that is really good quote,, I know many people didn't see it!!!
Over the garage door
Preventive maintenance is key for a long journey with minimal problems 👉
This is ultra maintenance though for old cars
It pays to keep your rubber nice and supple.
Scotty, should I spray this on my condoms to prevent breakage?
That's what she said....
@@cronicjointpain1 You'll get more rides. Use daily.

@@nazu5998 Have fun with the aids or unwanted kids you can't care for.
This is great to know. I have been looking for something that would protect the rubber suspension bushings. I thought the AT-205 might be the answer but now that I see this, Hell Yeah! WOO!
That’s what I love about Scotty. He tells u about mistakes people usually make so u don’t need to make the same .
I repaired my rear shocks with that AT205. They had leaked all the oil out from the seals, so I drilled a tiny hole at the bottom and injected
one CC of AT205 into each, and filled the remaining volume with motorcycle fork oil. I then soldered the holes shut and have nearly 80,000km since
doing the repair, with no leaks at all, and they are as firm as new. It's good stuff, saved me a fortune.
Wow, that's a cool trick!
Whoa! That's brilliant!
Except that you've heat effected the metal around your solder joint, and thus have weakened the whole part overall
@@l3urlyi345 80 000km - ya.....it dont matter....hahahaha. Until you crash but by then you will be in heaven....hahahah.
Do you think I can use it on engine bay rubber hoses ?
Mr Scott.
Keep sending tricks.
We all want to keep our car,running good and safe,as long as possible.
Thank U for ur great work.
Have a awesome day.
Scotty, you may want to rethink this advice. The MSDS sheet for ATP Automotive AT-205 Re-Seal lists the liquid's components as 100% glycol ethers. Glycol ethers are a commonly used solvent in paints and various cleaners. I would strongly suggest something possibly silicone-based that is far friendlier to various rubber compounds.
It’s actually designed specifically for use with rubber so I’m sure they have some sort of chemical that counteracts them or something of that nature, but me personally I use silicone spray from pb blaster
funny how mr scotty doesnt reply to your comment about him being wrong...
I'm pretty sure Scotty here knows exactly what's he's teaching about. I'm following his advice
Hi Scotty,
Before you I had never used or heard of AT-205. After watching your video I bought the product and tried it out. I sprayed my undercarriage suspension parts, rubber boots and everything rubber while the car was on the lift a year ago. After checking recently I found all the parts I sprayed still look new. Great product!
You being honest??
@@g35tho11
And YOU'RE not?
@@g35tho11 if you’re unsure just use silicone spray, it’s 100% harmless, can do no harm, if it doesn’t fix it it won’t hurt anything
Samson’s strength was his hair.
Scotty’s strength is that Celica.
Funny
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You are an absolute gold mine Scotty!
Hey Scotty! So I am learning so much from you and I'm grateful for your honesty. I'm not getting that anywhere else. Everywhere I take my 2010 Ford F-150 Raptor SVT I am being ripped off so now I am learning how to do a lot of things myself including just good prevention and maintenance. That being said, for this video should we clean or at least rinse off all of the rubber before putting on the ATP AT-205 reseal? Curious.
Per ATP tech support: The active ingredient in AT-205 is heat activated around degrees 180F, you will see no benefit by spraying it on a rubber object that is exposed to air, it will just evaporate. Also AT-205 needs a carrier to blend with such as engine oil or transmission fluid. We’ve actually done some test on rubber hoses, belts, etc. after a couple of hours the stuff just evaporated and you couldn’t tell it was ever applied.
😭😭😭😭😭😭 I knew something wasn't right I brought two bottles at $27 a piece and what you said where the exact results that I got 🤬 can you recommend a product that would actually work for this situation because I basically just wasted$60 in all of my time😢
This is proof that even very experienced mechanics are subject to placebo.
@@gregs6403 unfortunately this is CORRECT...... AND EXPENSIVE 🎯😝🤬
Great advice Scotty! I've done the reseal process to all my older cars from the past and present. As a teenager in High I worked at a ESSO station performing Oil and Filter changes, and part of my process was lubing those seals and rubber grommets with that same solution or something similair to it.. It preserved all those rubber parts very effectively!
I can’t listen to this blokes voice.
Scotty do more suspension videos! This was very helpful and informative!
Scotty exerts physical pressure on his breaker bar- HUH! Scott’s takes off a nut- HUH! His sound effects and pictures are hilarious! Awesome video
Remember those days when Scotty do that Huh!
If anyone is wondering, The active ingredient is "Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether". BlueDevil Power Steering Stop Leak also is the exact same thing. If you are having a hard time finding it at-205.
Is that the same stuff in Bar's Leaks One Seal Stop Leak? It's half the price of Blue Devil which in turn is half the price of AT-205.
Looking at the SDS for that product, I do not believe it has the same active ingredients.@@gregorymalchuk272
Well, I can say I've personally tried this on my daily driver (I know, very boring compared to the other comments and thier applications, please bare with me) I tried the exact product from the video and I have regretted it and will forever see Scotty K as a joke. Do NOT use this product unless you have researched it for yourself and know it's appropriate (chemically). It's been 2 years since I've done this but the damage its done was visible around 6 to 9 months later. I should've done my homework, and just stuck to WD-40. Don't make the same mistake I did.
@@cristencowan428 What damage did it do?
@@gregorymalchuk272I’m curious confused which one would you recommend?Thanks

What is the best alternative to this at-205
I've been binging your videos non stop and I cant thank you enough for the amount of knowledge you've passed on! I'm quite new to automechanic work but I feel like I've learned a lifetime of invaluable information from your channel and Im excited to keep great care of my car :)
I've found immense value in starting and keeping a google sheet for each car....dates and mileage in the first two columns and ever single repair and part number and tire rotation across. My only regret is not recording costs of parts and repairs.
Me too 👍🏼
You are awesome Scotty! . You are the best grandfather!
Now this is Scotty in FULL HD! love the new camera!
Thanks Scotty always great help gotta do some work on the car to keep it from failing the suspension great video keep them coming been a fan for year's 👍😁
Scotty. AT 205 Reseal is now off the market. I can't even find it on ebay. What is an alternative ? HELP PLEASE !!
Loving these maintenance videos Scotty! Keep it up!
SCOTTY YOU ARE A LEGEND !
303 protectant is also very good when applied to rubber
I agree, I've used both and I think 205 lasts longer and works better for exterior rubber components in my experience
Mr. Scott ! You are simply the man! Thanks a lot!
I've always thought that there should be something to keep CV boots etc soft so they dont crack...thanks for the tip Scotty!
I love watching your videos Scotty, great tips and very deatailed explanation of the procedures to be done. You have a subscriber now!!! 👍
Man, you're the best! And this is coming from a mechanical engineer! It's even harder to find honest mechanics that won't rip you off here in Costa Rica...
Yeah there are a lot of dishonest and incompetent mechanics here in the states also. The stories I could tell......You can't believe everything you hear on youtube but Scotty seems to know what he's talking about.
"Let's get this tire off" that was good
Scotty please do a short series of videos on how to maintain your car, or write a book. Just list all of your tips in one place. I would love to apply your tips and see how long my next car lasts. Such a book or series of videos would make for a terrific high school or college course!
Scott, ok i admit it... I'm now hooked on your vids/tips.
Thanks for helping us consumers out. RUYE!!
WEEKEND AND SCOTTY"S, love your style and content

I recently bought my first car, and I have learned a lot from you.. I wish I had found your channel earlier
I wish we had the internet back in the 70's. Would've saved me a lot of aggravation.
Thanks for the great advice Scotty. Love from the UK. 👍👍👍
Good,solid advice. Thanks for sharing your experience!
You're a Boss, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm a new subscriber for sure!
I called the manufacturer of AT-205 about using it on suspension bushings, and they said it will lubricate for few minutes, but the stuff will evaporate. And they said I would be wasting my money.
I personally would recommend silicone spray, and make sure to stay away from lithium grease and all purpose WD-40 since they are petroleum based. anything petroleum based will destroy rubber.
Thanks Scotty, for the AT-205 tip! Saved my car from the junkyard! :)
Never heard of at205 but always wanted a way to maintain rubber. Great way to keep a vehicle driving like new. 👍 Thank you 😎
Maintaining a car is like maintaining anything else - gotta have the time, money, and desire to maintain everything. A lot of people don't maintain themselves........
Love your videos, keep up the great work. Your fan from Ontario Canada.
Awesome just what I was looking for! I just discovered your channel...it’s been a Scotty marathon for the past few days!!!
He gives some of the best advice on CZcams. He's got a lot of tips and tricks you can't find elsewhere on CZcams and it's from his decades of experience and it is stuff that anyone can do really and it WILL make things last longer.
He's very honest and any customer of his, should hold on to such a Mechanic, as long as possible. Honest ones are worth their weight in gold. He's absolutely right about a lot of stuff and I have heard other honest Mechanics say the same things as he does. It just makes good sense.
Thanks Scotty, I appreciate your info.
AT-205 really is good stuff. Thanks Scotty for saving everyone who hears this - big money.
Yeah but what about Europ what to buy?
Who sells it???
@@Archer28M Vaseline
I use silicone spray on all the rubber parts. One time I was out of silicone spray, so I sprayed with Mother's VLR.
This stuff can be amazing on what it does to rubber & many applications can go way beyond suspension...almost anything made of rubber. I had a 40 year old air pump for fish tank that had bellows that was hard & crispy. Output was weak & treated with AT-205 & a cotton swab. Treated & let cure for 1 week. Output tripled & no fish died. This stuff is also great for car door gaskets!
Thank you for your great Tips 😎❤
You're such a great guy Scotty my friend and I watch your videos in the UK all the time my nickname for him is actually Scotty. Keep up the great work
Is he a Scot?
Not only are you giving great information but the pictures you post up in the corner are hilarious and make the videos worth watching even if you didn't have a car at all!
Very useful tutorial! Great job!
I've used Fluid Film for these applications...is AT-205 a better choice.Thanks for your videos.
Thank you Mr. Scotty for your professional advice!
Pro tip: If you cant get hold of AT-205, silicone spray works just as well. Thanks for the tip Scotty!
And it’s much cheaper than AT-205
The most helpful car mechanic on CZcams. Thank you for all your helpful info & preventive tips Scotty. Merry Christmas & Peace be with you and yours.
yes many times
Thanks my friend ,very helpful videos , god blessings !!
Scottys best video thus far
Thank you Scotty!
Scotty thank you for this tip! Could you also use 303 Aerospace Protectant for the same purposes instead of the AT205 Reseal?
I have for years. Or armour all, whatever is cheapest. Does it work? Absolutely.
Yes that is true, I got some ebay suspensión parts for my weekend car that sleeps in the garage and I have to replace them already because they are cracking, the tie rods specifically, always get OEM.
If I listen to everything you do I'll be working on my car till I die.
James M you mean you’ll be doing some maintenance once a year on car you’ll own for 25 years?
James M Who owns who? Just like owning a house. A retired friend of mine was a major finance officer for Lexus, he only leases his cars. So he always has a newer car and never cares if it breaks-down. I guess it costs out once you get in a certain price range!
James M 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
James M ... and your car will still be running strong long after you’re gone.
@@romanticdonkey468 And the longer I keep it the more I'll be under it.
I'll be sure to get some AT 205, never heard of it until now, Great advice! Thank you sir! 😊 👍
That's a great tip Scotty! Thanks for sharing this.
Love your common sense. Prevention better than cure. Thank you for your very informative videos...much appreciated...!
I found this video to be one of your best (important preventative maintenance) since I've started watching. Thank you Scotty!
Can you use this stuff on door/Window seals?
The wheel bearing rollerblade wheel pic made my day thanks Scotty always the best with truth and humor
seems like good preventative maintenance, what about things like coolant hoses, vacuum lines, pcv hoses etc...?
Coolant hoses will crack from the inside too due the heat. Leave them as is, so you will know when to change them. Otherwise they may blow while driving and you are risking your engine
Sweet Project Cars channel says soak your belts for 10 minutes in 303 Space Protectant and you will never have to replace your belts again, they will never dry out or crack.
Yeah we need scotty to prove it or debunkit.
Sweeeeeeeet project cars
I think he use this because its more watery than 303
303 is very expensive
You still want to replace belts because the ribs of the belt extend. And rub on the bottom and it will throw your belt off.
I don't have a car, but I use a scooter everyday. I replaced my engine bushings twice a year in repair shop but I watched your video and now I take good care of my vehicle, AT205 reseal makes my bushing really last longer. It's been 2 years now.
Wow, thank you, Scotty, my brother!
7:40 I think your Kitty Cat pillow came to life.
LOL
Shop cats are cool. Trying to teach mine how to do wiring. The problem is they think work is a bad 4 letter word.
Naw, the neighbors cat is heading home.
The info part of the broadcast is over.
In Scotty's universe all the cats and dogs drive.
@Brian Johnson, I was just looking to find this comment - I guess it gets the occasional breaks for the "litter pan" here it's going to check out the neighbours garden and maybe a bird or mousie on the way back to his pillow pattern job's afternoon shift.
Soo I'm gonna die before my suspension wears out?
Dealers must hate this secret trick 🥴👍
No they don't, many people like newer cars even if their used one still good
If you follow all of Scotty's instructions and one of your suspension components does wear out, you know it's a sign that your time has come.
Thank you sir, you are awesome. Love from NZ. Whenever I will visit Texas, will surely meet you.

Sad....This guy is a joke....
I've had good luck with 303. I go under the car twice a year and spray all the black rubber I see. Then I do the belts, hoses and tires. Finally, I spray the door and trunk seals.
Российский робот same here. I use that to, but not to sure it’s good to use with blubber with metal contact.
What is the exact name of the product because 303 has many products.
