This Is Why We Do Maintenance (Dealer Lied To Us...)
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 07. 2024
- We need to get the BRZ up to spec so it is reliable, The dealership told me that all maintenance was up to date on the car and well that's clearly not the truth here. So here we are digging through the car to get it good to go. We still need to do the brakes (Pads and rotors), gear oil and spark plugs. Also the previous owner did some weird electrical things in this car..... why you do this....

can't wait to see this channel at 1M.
Appreciate the support 🔥 would be awesome to see that one day 😁🔥
my buddys evo blew up from oil starvation because he trusted the dealer....2 weeks after he bought it
Oh god, I would be so pissed 😫 hopefully he was able to rebuild or the dealership played some part in the repair
@@Smeedia after 2 weeks of arguing the dealer paid half the price of the motor but yeh he was heated
i think that wire is for a dash cam, try looking at the overhead thingy by the rear view mirror for the other end of that wire.
It has something to do with the fog lights lol, after unplugging it the fogs no idea longer work
Where did you buy the brz? This information is a must.
Not going to throw the dealerships name out, it may have been a 1 off for them but I'm still talking to them when I grab my plates
Brz looking cleaner after some work
Much much more to come for the BRZ 😈
That rectangular thing is a intake air filter
Found that out, guess I have an extra now 😅
I just bought a wrx from a dealership and I was in the same situation, the cabin air filter was super dirty and I also had a mystery wire behind the glove box, I still don't know what it is 😂
All the mystery wires 👀😅
The subaru dealership in Brooklyn park Minnesota tried to sabatoged my rear differential and tried to say it was all good. So happy I know cars and I'm under my car alot
What did they do?! 😳
@@Smeedia they were suppose to replace my differential fluids for my front and rear. Instead they loosened the fastener around the cv boot and tried to tell me my cv boots were tore. They didn't know that under more than anyone. So I know what I'm looking for
That filter you change in the intake looked like a foam filter which takes oil on the filter and a aerosol cleaner to clean
It was they just used the whole can 😅
Oil cap on the brz is always hard to take out even whe you put it on not to tight
Can't say I've had an issue following this one. They've always come off relatively normally
The sole reason I do things at the dealership is if something goes south I’ll cuss them out and make them fix it
I bought my 18 WRX this past October 2021 and my cabin filter was somehow worse.
ENEOS vs MOTUL... which is better?
The grease in the intake, only thing I can think of is it's a washable/reusable filter and they massively over did it with the recharge kit.
That's the only thing I could think of, but the consistency of it seemed thicker than the reapplication oil for the filters 😫
@@Smeedia why would you need a cozy on the master cylinder unless you were racing??? The oil maybe has 75 hours(not miles) on it. At full throttle. This whole car seems like someone that thinks they know what they are doing but actually has no freaking clue.
@@BlazeOn88 its ridiculous, I'd be fine with doing the maintenance but rather not have the dealer lie to me about it 🙃
@@Smeedia now I'm starting to worry about my 2 month old WRX I just got. I'm going to need to change everything on/in it now......
its probably just been sprayed a bit too much with filter oil, the sponge filters are supposed to have oil on them
Yes they should, but I don't think to the point where they are soaked 😅
I've had similar experiences with my dealership.
Ended up doing everything myself umless I dont have time. Then it goes to a local shop that I trust.
Ive seen the cavalac plate in person like 15 years ago here in pennsylvania.
Lol for real?! 😅 the Ohio plate?! Small world 🔥
@@Smeedia i remember saying to myself. That plate says what? Its a cavalier. Lol
Not only you should not trust stealerships with used cars fluid changed or maintenance but also ur new car u buy of the lot. They change ur fluids or maintenance on ur car to either not tighten enough or break something else loose so ur car can have problems latter on. Like my mazda they maintenance the coolant flush but left the battery loose and almost had those metal pieces in my engine! Always double check their work or take it to someone where u can watch them do it!
Great advice, if they do any work it never hurts to make sure it was done right. That's another reason why I do all of my own work
dude your channel is the shit. period.
Great stuff. I can only guess but the red is a power wire. But not to the battery and to the cigarette lighter? Lol. Wow that was rigged. Check your trunk if their see any hanging wires. If their is, then their was a subwoofer there. Please solve the mystery. Lol
So I think the wires went to the fog lights somehow..mom I unplugged it and now somehow the fog lights don't work 🤣 it's so rigged
@@Smeedia dude? that's nuts. That was my second guess of some sort of lights, perhaps interior. But fog lights to the cigarette lighter? man that sounds so Honda, LMAO
I got trust issues with dealers too, no bueno,lol
Glad I am not the only one 😅🙏
Not gonna lie. I had no idea there was such a thing as a cabin filter. I should know these things but apparently I learn stuff every week.
Glad that there was something to learn from it then! The definitely make a difference in airflow and the smell inside of the car of they get too dirty
Oil can go black petty quick
Not withing 70 miles though, it would still resemble somewhat translucent. Couldn't even shine a light through the oil
@@Smeedia 70 miles is a lot of rotation within the engine, im not saying your wrong, just saying it can black quite quick.
I work at subaru and the microbe all they do if you accept it is change the filter and they have to spray the cabin filter and where the air comes in. Something subaru has us do. Because it starts smelling really bad sometimes if not. If that is what they were talking about. But dealer ships in my opinion with all of them are shady because they will make there money back over being honest then after you buy it and get a warranty they can fix it after it breaks on the customer for free instead of throwing money into before so then its all profit. Cause it can't be warranty untill its sold. I got a 2020 wrx every used wrx or sti I looked at had been changed back to stock for the most part but trans or engine was not to healthy at the dealerships near me so didn't want to take the chance.
I bought it from a small mom and pop dealer who said they already applied thr anti microbial coating and tried to charge me for it after I declined it. Was a 20 min battle with them to drop that charge 😅 thres a few good dealerships still out there though
Before you find the secret wire is it the sound delete hack that people do to try make it more quiet in the cabin?
Potentially 😅😅😅
@@Smeedia I think it might be lmao
Wen I bought my Perrin short ram intake on my 03 Wrx the filter was greasy
I think it's just an over application of the filter cleaner stuff but still not 100% 😅
Just so you know if you get a dash cam or the rock that chipped your window from the rock truck that if fell off of. The dump truck company has to pay for your windshield by law. Bc it’s unsafe load.
I actually did get the plate and have it on my dashcam footage! I'll have to give them a call 🔥 appreciate the good looking!
This dude literally just said : shout out to peoplr who use strap wrenches. Translation: I too am a pussy with no grip strength that bought a Scion and am excited to do my first oil change!! I hope I don't get my oil filter dirty!!!
I'm in the market for a car...I'm hesitant to buy a used car because of shit like this. I'm not knowledgeable enough about to cars to go through and just find and fix shit like this guy does.
I would find a reputable shop in your area and have them perform an inspection on the car. They will be through when going through the car to find anything that may be a potential issue
Don’t yank on wire until you know where it is attached my dude. Just thinking of your safety man
Dealerships no mas no go ripoff unless vehicle under warranty
Some Valenti taillights on the the BRZ look really nice
I've looked at them, there were a few that caught my eye!
I saw a pair on this website that kinda look like Ferrari taillights almost from Intec www.ft86speedfactory.com/intec-carbon-fiber-tail-light-with-clear-lens-2013-ft86.html#.XkbVxSVOnDs
been off and on about the cobb shift knob. Anyway you could possibly do a side to side comparison
? I dont want a huge shift knob
Its about the same size as the factory knob, but feels a little better when holding it. The Duralon has a nice finish on it but I can show it in an upcoming video also
@@Smeedia Ty for the response good sir!
@@jaysimpson6285 anytime!
How much was the windshield cost to replace ?
Have not done it yet but probably around $400-$500
not sure if you have made a video in how to oil change an sti if you don’t could you please ?
I've touched on it in other videos when i had to drain the oil out but next time I do it I will cover the steps 🔥
The W in an oil grade means winter, not sure if you know this and you just say weight but thought I’d let you know if you didn’t
You are correct out if habit I just called it Weight 😅 do appreciate the feedback though! 😁
Hi from Utah! If I were you I’d clean off your MAF sensor due to all of that air filter oil might mess with idle! Keep up the great work!
Not a bad idea! Going to knock that out 🔥 appreciated the input!
As others said, I don't understand how you're not at a subscriber count with such highly informative and quality videos .
On the other note, I'm happy you got a BRZ. I drive my brothers WRX every once in a while and it feels like a boat after dailying my BRZ for the last year. Looking forward to seeing what you do to yours :D. Keep it up!
Love the feedback! And it just takes time to grow. But the channel grows everyday! Have two BRZ installs this week on tomorrow and one on thursday so should start seeing some BRZ Content mixed in with the STI stuff too 😁
Wonder if you can do a engine swap with the brz?
Oh I can do an engine swap in the BRZ. The question is, can I afford it 🤣
Did you ever find out what the wire was for
Oddly enough... fog lights 🤣
Bro I feel you I did all this when I bought my wrx used just because I have trust issues with dealerships lol
The trust issues are real with dealerships 🤣 they say they do one thing and don't expect us to actually look....
Smeedia yeah my local subie dealership is pretty shady which makes me sad but this is also why I do my own car work 😂
Captain Buff The Third 👏 heck yeah man!
Recommend getting a cap style oil filter wrench. They fit right and don’t slip.
I have ones for the STI need to get one for the BRZ lol but yes I agree 😅
Love this channel...”Oh god I can pull on it” haha
Lol I just can't help it 🤣🤣🤣 appreciate the support!
I had to put a TOB on my friends FRS a while back on a garage floor it took about 9 hours 😬apparently they all fail early. Maybe we will get to see that on a future video lol. Good vid as always dude 👍
Hopefully it doesn't go out but if it does we will definitely record it!
If your tail lights are leaking you may need to check your blinker fluid. It really sucks when the seal on the tail light break and you run out of blinker fluid and you can’t signal you are doing a J turn. Sumdum Gi makes a great synthetic blinker fluid. It’s better than the Subaru OEM fluid, and 100% organic pure hydrocarbons. I use it on all my Hot Wheels.
Don’t even have a brz but I watched anyway bc I love the energy man 👍🏼
Eyyy thank you! Gotta keep the energy flowing! The support is greatly appreciated!
Toyota dealer took out my wife cabin filter and never replaced it
They just took it?! Lmao I'd be pissed 😅
I found out my wrx i bought had a gps tracking device mounted on the stearing column i found out because the previous owner showed up at my work asking for it back 🙃
Lmao wtf?! 😅 what happened?!
@@Smeedia i took it to the dealer had them rip it out and never saw the guy again i mean its his fault for not removing it and for not telling the dealership about it
Lol I would be so confused if aome random person showed up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Smeedia at first I was very confused but he had his phone showing the app with my car located and he gave me his card of business was very nice and just asked to give him a call when i get it out....i asked him questions that the dealer told me about the owner like how a son and dad bought it and the son went to the army and had to sell it back with 4k miles on it he was correct on everything soooo
LMMAAOOO. Your reaction to all the dirty things is hilarious.
Literally everything 🤣🤣🤣
Omg. Pls do a seperate video for that wire thingy ! I am way too intrigued now XD
Lol I will give updates on the secret wire 😂
Man that oil looks like the last imperial stout I brewed lol!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Captain Buff The Third 🍺🍺
Haha the first time I changed my oil everything torqued down so hard it had me second guess if I was just really weak. The dealership just tightened everything as tight as they could.
Same 🤣 had to use a pair of vice grips just to pull the oil fill cap off lmao
i suddenly have an idea why they do this...
they don't want people browsing for cars
easily open up stuff and check (or possibly worse throw in sugar)
I'm guessing those wires are for a GPS device. One way to wire them up is with power and ground through a cigarette lighter adapter. There may also be another wire going to a ignition source. Either way, I'm excited to see what it is.
Also was going to buy that same filter from Apexi this weekend
Works as it should and not a bad price for it!
Guess I’m gonna go check the filters on my STi now 😳
Not a bad idea 😅
I greatly appreciate your Peter McKinnon-esqe energy......omg the previous owner didn't know what a cabin air filter was.
Thank you! Glad that you know who he is! I learned a lot of my editing techniques from him! And for real 😅
When I first got both my Mazdas (Mazda3 2.0 and Mazdaspeed3. I own both, but bought at separate times) the shops that worked on both cars tightened the bolt WAY over 23 ft pounds. The 2.0 was stripped, the Speed took too much effort but I got it off lol. The filter on the 2.0 was fine but the filter on the Speed was tightened by hulk, I couldn't believe it. Took me way too long to change oil on both of them the first time. FFS!
How did you like the speed?! Been debating picking one up if I can snag in for a good price
@@Smeedia It's great!! I'm used to the 1st and 2nd gen Axela platform so i'm used to all the troubles lol. But so far, I have had no issues. It's fun to drive though kind of annoying to work on (to a degree). The only qualms I have with it is the clutch (at least mine) is like an on and off switch, space in the bay kind of sucks (it's much better with the 2nd gen that I have now than the 1st gen), and the high pressure fuel pump and valvetrain is pretty noisy. Took me a while to get used to that!
Did you ever find out what the wire is for? 😆
Lol fog lights 😅
Love your Channel man
Thank you! I appreciate the support! 😁😁
From my understanding engine oil in the air box is a sign of engine damage was it running all the way down to the intake and does the car feel down on power more then normal if so I would say dig deeper I had a buddy who’s car had that problem and I talked to my automotive teacher he said it was due to piston ring damage and intake valve damage from the time my buddy overheated his car I hope that isn’t the case but also love the videos and I am saving up for a STI at the moment can’t wait to get one and join the subi family
Overall the car feels normal. I think the last owner tried using the improper cleaning oil on the filter and over applied wayyyyy too much. But teguardless still digging deeper. Appreciate the advice and feedback!
First, I love this channel, I watch frequently! 2and, the oil is from the PERRIN filter! I promise, not from the car in any way, my Perrin filters come saturated with oil from the factory.
They sprayed lysol on that bird's nest.😂 ya right.
used car used oil.... Nice vid.
The anti microbial package is they use an ozone machine to get rid of some odors and kill any pests that might hang around. A cheap $75 machine on Amazon.
They tried charging me $400 for it 🤣 it was called drivepur or something like that
@@Smeedia yeah they will give it a fancy name for it. With the machine it takes about an hour to kill any odors and pests. I got my STI from the stealership and changed all fluids and filters 3 days later.
WOW! That shit was gross! I never believe anything dealerships say to me about a used car. Then again, I stopped buying cars from dealerships a while ago. I go through a broker and have never been disappointed or surprised like what you saw on this car.
BTW, your reaction to that cabin filter was hilarious! that was shocking. I'd hate to see what they would have done if you did pay for the microbial flush. LOL!
Also, did you do a video for the headlight build on the BRZ? Did I miss it somewhere or is it not out yet? So many questions.
Open up the oil filler cap before draining oil so it will not create vacuum, making it hard to open. Same at the oil filter, it will be hard to open if you drain and created a vacuum already.👍
Totally spaced on that, normally with the STI I pull the filter off while under the car 😅
Smeedia Also wanted to add, might help spraying/cleaning the MAF sensor since previously it was used with oiled air filter. Idle RPM improves and added 3-5mpg on my brothers Legacy. 👍
I’ll have to give Eneos a try. I’ve always bought the liqui moly molygen. Oil is green if you haven’t seen it, check it out.
I'll have to take a look at it! Never heard of normal green oil 🤔
Smeedia ya it’s got a friction modifier, that’s the green. Good fuel economy with it too from what I’ve noticed. Go to liqui moly website and look into that oil. Pretty legit formula.
What's the purpose of the lock out?
To keep you from gling into reverse when shifting into 6th
@@Smeedia oh interesting, do you only need it when going to 6th?
Only need it when going into reverse 🙏
@@Smeedia good to know, thanks
Every youtuber has their thing and yours is "ooohhhhh" hahahaha
It was completely unintentional but has grown and stuck! OHHHHHH 🔥
What’s the BEST maintenance for turbo longevity?
Oil, keep ontop of oil changes. Driving style will also play an important factor wouldn't recommend high load at low RPMs
Check the banjo bolt screen for debris clean or remove .this is the turbo feed oil line. If you have one
i am a new wrx owner, do you recommend any maintenance manuals? can I get Subaru maintenance manuals?
Tou can get all of the maintenance schedules online, I also made a video Delaer Vs DIY cost on the channel that covers the cost and what every service interval is 🔥
@@Smeedia the Subaru's are the only cars I've had, that I didn't get manufacturer service manuals, for them. I hold that against them. thanks for the prompt reply.
"If you want something that feels good in your hand... Get yourself a COBB Knob" 😭😭
I run 0w 20 in my wife's car an by the oil change interval it was burning up a quart in a brand new vehicle. Moved to 5w 20 never had a problem. Think this car will burn any ? Have to add to by the next oil change interval
Going to find as when we so the next oil change. Only about 4.5 qts came out of the car but idk how old it actually is or when it was changed...
Remember that I found out I had a cabin filter like a year after irking my car lol
Throw a dryer sheet in that cabin air filter !
That's actually not a bad idea 🤣
@@Smeedia I've had a few Subies that had smoking owner's and that dryer sheet makes it smell all purdy again !
The BRZ doesn’t make STi power but it does have enough power for what it is. Stop saying it makes no power.
It makes good power for the chassis weight, but in reference the the filter a drop in filter won't make any power differences and T bolt clamps on an intake is overkill lol
Did you ever find a engine oil cooler to mount on the STI? That didn’t have fitment issue with the FMI.
I got some SS Braided AN line so we are going to custom mount it. Just got the parts from Vibrant last week! 😁
Smeedia love your videos, can’t wait to see the install on the oil cooler!!
75 miles on the oil... riiiight. Looks like it came out of a diesel after 6000 miles.
Also, decided I’m likely doing a rebuild on my 08 wrx since my 4th cylinder doesn’t want to magically fix itself.. unless you wanna send me that sti ;)
The STI is out of commission for a fee days until I tune the new airline 😅 what happened with the WRX?! Ringlands I'm guessing?
@@Smeedia no idea, bought it used, found out a few months later that cyl 4 barely makes 25psi. Not mechanically inclined enough to diagnose and rebuild it on my own so gotta throw some money at it
@@insomniacicu4447 totally understandable and sorry to hear, on the bright side it opens the idea for more power and a built block 😅
@@Smeedia ehhh can't afford that right now. Thinking more along the lines of stock internals and stage 1
Hey bro leave the drain plug out while you remove the top mount oil filter. I little bit of oil will drain into the pan as it's locked in the anti flow back. Not a bunch but enough for my oil OCD! Lol
Good to note for the next change! Lol these top mounted filters are weird to me still 😂
@@Smeedia Yeah pull the plug let it drain till it drips. Then pull the filter on top and watch how much drains into the pan. No big deal really but good practice. Keep it up man!
Yupp, dont trust dealerships either. After getting my sti last week, I changed my oil, cab and air filter yesterday. Oil wasn't too bad but not new. Cabin filter was terrible and old k&n air filter was in bad shape as well so I just got a new one even though I couldve cleaned it
Always have to verify to make sure what's said is done is done
I would like to hear what the dealer has to say after your discoveries.
Also: will a BRZ burn the rear tires on dry pavement?
Once I get my plates I'm going to talk to them, but as for the tire question, we can find out 😉 lol
Drop the clutch and find out.
Run a lab test on that oil. To see how it does.
Oh God I should lmao
The mystery wire looks like a ground for an audio system. Weird place to put it, but kind of convenient incase it comes loose from excessive rattle. That being said, it shouldnt ever come loose sooo previous owner was an idiot.
The wire went to the fog lights somehow, nkt sure why they worked it that way but got it corrected 🔥
Top 10 reasons why I refuse to buy used cars: _this video_
Dude for realll, they were at least all fixable
@@Smeedia Also I decided to scale back my expectations! First car, STI or WRX might be a bit too much. Going to get a BRZ and that's the final decision
Still a very good choice 🔥😁
Filter looked like it was over oiled.
That's what I thought, the oil seemed thicker that the cleaning oil that normally goes on them 😫
@@Smeedia Seriously? Like it was oiled...... With engine oil......?!?
What rear spoiler will you put? OEM STi?
Probably leave it wingless, kinda like the cleaner look of the body 🔥
"I gotta drive this to work tomorrow" ... *yanks mystery wire out of dash* 🙃 zero fks given.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you have a discussion video on uel headers vs el headers?
Not yet but it is on my list to shoot 😁
Hell yeah. Love the content man and what you do. Keep it up 💪💪💪💪
I know I’m hitting you with lots of comments but use a pair of channel locks to take the oil filter off. You can actually get a grip on it.
I don't have a big enough pair that would fit lol, the strap wrench worked okayish.... lol
All else fails stab a screwdriver into it and twist
@@SuperMuddybuddy wouldn't be the first time I've had to do that 🤣
Looks like you got a OEM Engine Air Filter not Cabin Filter
Yup ordered the wrong part 😂
OoOoOoOo....that’s a dirty little girl.
All I could think of when reading this was the Bobby light song from rob and big 🤣
Lmao 🤣
Wow I would 100% call them out on that. That's not only disgusting but super dangerous to your engine if you believe their lies and let that oil go another 4-8k like normies sometimes do.
Very true, when I go and pick up my plates I'm going to what was up and why they didn't do what they said they did
@@Smeedia so how did it go?
13:38 i hear a little didoo wanting to come outside
Lol he always wants to hang out in the garage 😅
Stealerships are mean. Never ever ever trust them
Do you only record when its dark outside?
Lol no I do a lot of recording when I come home from work and it normally gets dark out around 5ish 😫
Yeah screw dealer service. Those were terrible finds.
For real, I would have at least expected the oil to be done
@@Smeedia That's the most important maintenance procedure, I can't believe it wasn't done. That's their way of getting your money of it breaks. Smh
Name the kaka dealership
It’s not the dealership it’s the sales department service does tell sales what the vehicle need and it’s up to sales to approve or decline what the tech recommended
Techs should have priority to deem that a car needs to basics done over sales having the power
Smeedia will the reason I know is I’ve both a tech and now a service advisor and when I’ve brought the recommendations to sales and was told don’t or don’t worry about it and inform my manger they there is nothing you can do about someone like myself I’ve quit the job because I don’t feel right
@@luciosanchez9416 I just don't understand the unethicalness of it all. Car sales is a customer service business, I totally understand having to make profits but are what point is it alright 😫
Smeedia majority of the dealership that sale use vehicle only think money others think customer what I’ve been telling my customers before signing the paperwork ask for the use car inspection sheet or ask to have vehicle inspected with vehicle on the lift.the moment that they give any b.s. they are trying to show you something or something is not right with vehicle
It’s sad for me to be in dealership business and know that some dealership will do these things to customers
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
🙏❤🙏❤
I want that coozie 😂😂
That thing was ripped and torn 😅
Smeedia wack. 😂
Dealers lie it’s insane how much they can get away with even though I have a bmw I would rather teach myself how to work on it myself then ever ever take it to the dealer
100%! And dling all of your own work saves so much money as well 🙏
