0:00 Intro
0:04 I think he likes to accelerate hard at traffic lights...
0:20 Put your guesses below!
0:35 Engine got oil in the coolant Mechanic said its probably a cracked oil cooler
0:59 Customer States "There’s nothing wrong with the lower ball joints. I just greased them a few weeks ago”
1:13 I think they got her a little hot
1:33 Introducing the all new BMWTF
1:39 Customer States "I just need a oil change, don't try to up sell me". Terrifying
1:58 This is why you don't buy flood vehicles folks
2:16 Customer said “the tire exploded and there are wires showing”
2:25 This mechanics CV Axle exploded while they were driving at 25mph leaving this mess
2:39 This piston wanted some extra air flow it seems
2:53 Customers gearbox grinds every time they try put it into reverse
3:00 2012 Chevy Equinox has this oil waterfall whenever the car is on

4:18 Customer States "Is this repairable?". While it is repairable its definitely best to just replace it
4:34 Person sent in this video trying to identify this rattling noise hopefully its just a lifter but it could be worse
4:53 Just a "slight" coolant leak
5:05 Customer used a lug nut to hold in their tie rod...
5:10 I have no clue what this is... weird intermittent knocking noise
5:43 Customer States "My truck has trouble starting and staying running... it sounds like a lawnmower"
6:04 Customer States "Is this a normal amount of play?"
6:17 Outro

The Sonata one is a broken Radiator fan. Its hitting something, shutting down on overcurrent protection and tries again after a few seconds. Had this with some other brands too
For sure!
Nah! Someone installed an old rotary dial telephone that keeps trying to make calls.
@@martinscott-reed5379
That's better than my theory, a woodpecker.
@@danwiley7936 Do you have to fit a new woodpecker or could you use a different bird?
0:30 It's not important - manufacturers add excess metal to replenish lost metal in the oil, just place the metal back into the pan and give it a hard test drive, keeping the engine at red line throughout the process to recirculate the metal.
🤣
😂😂😂
So then the metal melts into the oil? Cool.
Hey there - thanks for the laugh. Nice to see people can have a good sense of humor and can be imaginative at the same time. Have yourself a great day !
Obviously, that thrust bearing isn't needed.
The mystery sound is the radiator fan turning, getting stuck, turning itself off, and then turning on again. Car was probably in a front end collision where the radiator got pushed back or the fan is broke off its bracket.
Oh good, easier repair than what I was thinking.
To me it almost sounded like a cvt going into dealer mode
My hyundai will occasionally open and shut the butterfly valves a few times after a long trip (and the motor for that is easily heard with the engine off) to "calibrate" the position or whatever, so to me it sounded like the servo for it was busted and skipping.
0:21 : Thrust bearing bits. You got problems.
Thrust bearing is now a trust bearing.
Trust me bro, us bearings still good.
In the 1970's I was working at a Dodge dealership when a customer complained of a noise coming from the engine when stopping.
It turns out that the crankshaft was not hardened, and the noise was the torque converter bolts hitting the transmission bellhousing cover.
The thrust bearing journal was worn away, allowing the crankshaft to move forward and backward.
@@user-vx1wo3fs7v I love seeing people like you in the comments. Real guys with real knowledge
Another perfect example of what the real mechanics deal with on a daily basis dealing with people who shouldn't even beable to drive. Yep the customer always knows best.
Thank God for real mechanics. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Don't you try up selling me!😂🤣
I don't really even miss the junk people call a "good car" that just needs a couple little things.
Most of this could be avoided by simply installing a lift at home and taking a few years of autoshop. Sure, some of the folks probably spend more on tattoos than their car. I have a theory as to why 10% own 90% of everything.
@@fuffoon I don't know how to reply to your sarcasm without accidentally coming off as serious.
Not sarcastically, it is silly how easy some things to do are, and people don't even do them. Like, just listening for a new noise. Hell, now you can even easily record the sound to compare later.
The last time I heard a sound similar to that it turned out to be several zip ties that mysteriously got wrapped around the driveshaft of my Lieutenants new truck.
That's a good one, we never went farther then Rock in the hubcaps
The block with viewing ports is ready for I DO CARS. Eric loves disconnecting rods and malice in the combustion palace.
LOL I thought the same thing! "Oooh, inspection port!" and wondered what sort of magic was in what was left of that oil pan
Hyundai Theta 2 goes boom again, probably ran it low on oil…..usual cause of death.
@@DasYorgo4000 They are bad engines alright
Those wrist pins are all fine.
@@kivulifenrir lol...the one thing
Yep, many of these cars do not need expensive repairs, because they were suppose to be crushed in the local scrapyard years ago. What blows my mind is when some drivers bring their cars in for something simple, but upon inspection it is clear that the many of these cars is beyond saving and a disaster waiting to happen.
The WTFs per second rate was really high on this one, especially in the first half. Congratulations! I think...
What was in your oil pan? A thrust washer. Your crank going bang bang bang
2:57 looks like Mr Piston hit the escape button and ....well...escaped !!
Freedom!!
Wow. I thought I was a bad car owner letting it go 1k past oil change specs. Now I feel better. 🤣
Lol, back when my Ex was just my GF, I was driving her to a friend in her car. As we slowed down for a red light the transmission started to seize up and the check engine light came on. Fortunately there was a gas station on the far corner and I pulled over to check her oil. The dip stick was bone dry.
I asked her when was the last time she checked her oil. Her answer? Her dad checked it last time he changed the oil. I asked when that was. Answer: “Last summer.”
It was the following Spring. Nine months.
Isn't it every 3k? Idk I change mine as soon as the car maintenance light comes on or if the oil is diluted
This channel is the best place to get mechanical advice. Mechanics of all skill levels watch this channel.yet another way this channel is awesome.😃👍
This is why an annual safety inspection is so important
I’m old enough to remember when oil was a $1 a quart for the “good stuff”. Now that oil is $5 + a quart … and oil is still cheaper than an engine!
5$/quart is sh!t oil. Good synt one is at the very least twice that. But still I change it every 5000 miles on my car :)
@@AlessandroGenTLe I get a gallon of Mobil One for $35... right at $9 per quart.
I can remember switching gas stations because the one that I was using ran the price of Leaded 100-Octane Premium up over a dollar per gallon.
I'll forever be bewildered by people with bald tyres and threads showing when they tell not to upsell them... 🤦♂️
Maybe he was going to sell it to a drug runner. It was a "burner" car.
4:03 - When changing your oil, are there supposed to be pits ? 🤣🤣🤣
Pits? That straight up looked like the engine was pooping out its oil. Talk about constipated.
3:45, that car ain’t draining oil, it’s taking a dump!
Forbidden milkshakes for the whole shop! 0:55
Mmmm, good!
It about time the USA had the MOT test like we have in the U.K.
I think they do mate, they call it an annual inspection I think 🤔
@@ballsack4321
Ten States have that.
No they don't!!!
Ok 🙂 my bad
@@mariom.9472 I think only 4 states have that
What did you doooo? LMAO 🤣its wasn't like that when i dropped it off to you....
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
That dude with the bmw rims beat me to it. I wanted to put those on my old mighty max. The bmw lug pattern is close enough to chevy and the Toyota is just like ford 5 lug. He must have had adapters. Cool videos 👍
When "Ill need you to sign this waiver stating we warned you" is a greeting at the shop
You can't force a customer to sign anything to retrieve his property.
Fuel, air, and fire. If it ain't one, check the others. 🤷♀️
Don't forget compression.
it should be illegal for cars with bald tires to leave the shop. driving on hope and luck
I’m not a big fan of government or shops telling me what I can and can’t do with my car. But when it gets to THAT point you’re right. It’s not a matter of if but when w
If it leaves it on anything but a Tow Hook than yes it should be very illegal to drive vehicles like that.
It is illegal to operate on bald tires... What do you expect the guy working at the repair shop to do about it?
@@rayharris5097 Report it of course.
Hate to say it, but I'd rather have all these idiots on the street at once than have the government dictate what I can drive.
0:53 that sound perfectly summarized my reaction
Love the channel. Reminds me of days working in service station right off Interstate 5 in San Diego in 1980s. Would love to see Year-Make-Model-Engine on vehicles highlighted in videos.
5:07 that's not a bad tie rod, its the wrong nut, and they bottomed it out, preventing it from being fully tightened.
I'd check the car's wheels; that nut has to have come from somewhere.
I thought I saw some BS in the military. You guys see stuff that makes me wonder LMAO. Keep the great vids and outstanding work.
0:40 Oh wow, that car comes with the optional Expresso maker.
when I see cars like this I'm glad, that we have the two years main inspection in Germany by law...
Some US states do, some do not. South Main Auto, in eastern New York (streets are salted in winter), shows quite a few vehicles that do not pass inspection due to rust and never will. Here in Arizona we have a cowboy approach: y'all kinnec up thet thar lat bub wit bob war. (You connect that light bulb with barbed wire.)
I'm in a state without vehicle inspections (Colorado). Having a classic car I do all my own work on, this does make life easier for me, but I also worry sometimes. Not so much about my own work, but the fact that anyone else out there could be "maintaining" or "repairing" their own vehicles in very improper ways. Or, worse, not doing so, totally unaware that there's even anything wrong.
We have inspections in americs also...but they are simple to beat, irnjust throw them 40 dollars and be done.
In Britain it is every year.
@@flagmichael I am now reminded of the Bailing Wire exhaust hangers and accessory brackets from my youth. Also some unique body work performed by unhappy Angus bulls.
"Holding up your end" takes on a whole new meaning when the task involves stringing barbed wire using two guys and a shovel handle. Still have a few scars from getting lazy and letting that spool slide too far my direction.
"I just need an oil change, dont try too upsale me"!
"Ok, but you do know you can't postdate life insurance"?, "cool no problem, that'll 86dollers plus😅
4:00 Damn. That legit made me stop eating. Thats rough
How have I driven over 100 miles a day, 5 days a week, for 35 years and never been blessed with a mess like this? 😄
2:00
the price of that repair turned him into Hank Hill
4:11 When your car has "eaten" something bad and goes to the morning toilet visit the day after...😮💩
2:47, that’s just an extra air vent for the engine. Perfectly normal. It’s one of them fancy “air cooled engines”
I once had an engineering professor in an engines class refer to throwing a rod as "ventilating the block." It is similar to the Rocket Science term "Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly," though I've seen engines do that as well.
Yoo-Hoo as coolant? Yum, yum!
Crankshaft Thrust Bearing was in your oil pan.
@4:28... Now there's a job for some 'j-b weld'
I don't know why they don't sell the stuff in tubs.
I just want to take this time and thank my father for showing me how to work on our cars and do maintenance I know I hated it and argued and made it hard but now that I’m older I’m so thankful for all the crap u made me do and not pay for anything.
0:29 thrust bearing. What do I win? 5:23 I'd start with the AC compressor, it sounds like it's cycling on and off with internal damage or a bad clutch on it.
Another installment of "This person should never be allowed to drive any motor vehicle for the rest of his or her lives".
5:12 Sounds like an a/c compressor kicking on then off.
And this children is why I work on airplanes and not automobiles.
As a diesel technician, I saw more money in breaking equipment(operating) than I did repairing. That's why I'm a truck driver now 😂😂😂
4:24 I had a Sonata that did this, resin tank cracked. It held with JB weld for a couple days, but in the end I had to do a mid winter rad swap. Yay.
People watch like 4 videos about how some mechanics can scam you and assume every mechanic is out for your money xD
I am not a mechanic, so some context would help on many of these clips. Just because you can take a chunk of metal and move it, that doesn't explain what the metal is or how it should look.
I didn't know they made pudding oil for cars, lol!
0:25 that would be a spacer for your crank (very important lol)
@05:30 could be the pinion drive on the intake secondary butterflies as it uses a multi-path intake manifold. I had one that would cycle like that, had a CEL, subject to warranty.
plastic rads they say....lol
At 1:40 an oil change is the least of the problems with that one
0:53 i need a beer or 3 to fix that
that look of, when oil meets coolant.
0:32 Crankshaft Thrust Washers . Also In The UK You Cannot Repair Flood Damaged Vehicles .
00:59 My Upper ball joint was waay worse than that and I drove it to Missouri and back till i found out about it when I got home and started hearing clunking when stopping and turning.
All of these vehicles are just fine.. 😁🤦🏾♂️
Unbelievable that America doesn't have a roadworthy certificate requirement.
1:55 At least they are changing the oil.
I don't want to go into details, however, it is nice to see that there are some people out there tat are not afraid of getting their fingers and hands dirty! When I see a guy putting on gloves just to clean his windshield makes me sick. A bit of dirt hasn't killed anybody yet!
Just cleaned my vehicle, time to watch some goof ups.
4:29 - Must be one of those radiators from Advance Auto. They often leak worse than the radiators they're replacing...
The US is a great example on why a yearly MOT isnt such a bad thing
Some people don't deserve to have cars
Diving is a privilege, not a right.
@@timsiemssen1148 🏊❔
Bro had a crankshaft side bearing in his pan
The 2012 hyundai sonata. Is that the intake runner actuator acting up?
Your business must be beside a bunch of trailer parks. You should ask the customer have you been on the Jerry springer show
Must be one of them EV thingies, with them dern electric tires. 😂😂
Ah the forbidden milkshake.
Must be a bad head gasket
The groan of "now I have to deal with this" was powerful
2:19 that feller there certainly had that tire over 100psi. that's a semi level popping right there.
that weird knocking sound sounds like me toad
recent replaced a cv axle i might have left a liiiitttle too long. considering that, after the 200 mile drive home, i had literally no tread on both front tires :^), worn wheel bearing, chips in the rotor, and a nearly destroyed ball joint. just uh, maintain your car when it needs it kids.
88K kms: Changing the oil is just a scam
I would have given you a thumbs up if the video's were in landscape. Do these people turn their tv on their side to watch it?
People need to learn how to drive a stick shift before buying a manual transmission vehicle. I learned how to drive in and old farm truck with a three on the tree, the linkage was so loose you had to roll the shifter around neutral to hit 2nd and straight down for 3rd.
Me too. '76 F100
We had a customer back in the 70s drive in his Pinto and complained about an engine noise. Pull the dipstick and....no oil. Looked at the side of the engine and the oil flilter was painted the factory blue. "When was your last oil change?" Blank look. He drove the car 64,000 miles without changing the oil. That's roughly 11 oil changes he skipped.
My father graduated with a degree in physics engineering. The company lent him a car at his first job, and he drove it until the engine failed. He didn't know cars needed oil changes.
In the oil pan was your thrust washer.
88k KM is 55k miles... not 45k miles
So THIS is what we are paying $50,000 + for!!!
We?
The man, who groaned I felt his pain.
My guess on the oil pan contents:
Clutch friction plate.
I had a crack in my rad last summer on my supra. Luckily it happened with my engine bay open and my friend noticed immediately. We ended up crazy glueing the crack and I drove it home like that then upgraded to a full aluminum rad
If you find something else worng with the vehicle that you are working on, and declines the extra work that's needed. Put it in writing and stating how long before that job that they declined before it becomes urgent. Then have them sign the report. Be sure to have vehicle vin number and rego number on the paperwork.
That's the hyundai type writer special edition.
0:57 The sound the tech makes is so familiar to me.
I just tuned in to "The Nope Show".
1:41 I don't think they can even legally let that leave the parking lot again...
They can't legally prevent it.
@@flagmichael they actually can force you to sign a waiver that you were informed that a car was catastrophically unsafe. They can also can the police of you try to leave with the vehicle since it is a hazard which will end with the car impounded
For the sonata - bad motor for the radiator fans?? I have no clue, not even a little that’s just a guess. But it seemed to be coming from that area
rattlesnake!
2:54 maybe there should be a driver there and he should be using the clutch
Looks like right hand drive
The guy who didn't want to get upsold later came with an exploded tire and wires hanging out...
Doing an oil change on that vehicle was a huge upsell.
5:10 - #1. IT's a Hyundai. #2. Timing components/adjuster.
0:22 bye bye thrust bearing. That's gotta suck.
That mystery sound is a 2011 Javier Baez/Cubs rookie card stuck near the radiator fan. Easy one. Rescue that treasure.
Too late. It is now empowering my bicycle spokes.
Well that was definitely what was left of your thrust main bearing in the oil pan.
2:54 almost looks like a piss bottle on the floor board
0:16 Dutchieee
5:10 that is a relay check so all distributor's works i did hear the same sound on my sister's car and it did and it did go away after changing the not working out (ended changing all)
Some people do not deserve the mechanical privilege of automobile ownership.
wi-fi connecting rods kool!
