      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.

      I recently had both front wheel bearings replaced, but the knocking has got worse over time.
      Any advice would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

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.!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

      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.

    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.

      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.

    • @humanandroid8099
      @humanandroid8099 Před 5 lety +1

      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
