1st: Thank you for *always* giving the metric units as subtitles! You really care for your *international* audience! 🤗 2nd As always: some ppl shouldn't be given cars! It's a pity for the BMW with the unnecessary engine demage at less than 65,000 km without any oil change! It's a waste of resources of all of us. Sidenote: less than 35 years ago you changed your oil the 1st time at 1,000 km, then according to the service plan. 3rd: Cardboard and "silicone". The idea isn't fundamentally wrong. If you have an oldtimer or a sealing isn't available, the DIY solution is an option. But you must do it right! Take a thin sheet of sealing material (rubbery paper-like) or thin and high quality leather, cut the shape as precise as possible with a very sharp knife or scalpel or scissor, use a paper template and a pen. Check the fit several times. Then use a special sealing paste out of a tube and apply just a very thin layer of it on both sides of the material. Soft, soaking cardboard? 🤪 Maybe for 10 to 15 min for reaching your home. But not as a "permanent" solution. 🤭

That’s what you do is get another car to get work just in case the other car’s one weekend repair takes a week or two because you don’t want to rush or break things and you might be giving the wrong parts or the new parts fail instantly,many jobs that seem simple can turn into a nightmare quickly,like breaking bolts off or not having the right tool.
I'm an old guy had many many cars in my lifetime, some 300,000 miles, always change my oil religiously. My reward is I've never replace an engine or had any kind of engine problem with any of these cars, changing oil is the best insurance for your car engine.

I’m a retired technician that was in the trade for over 45years and ran my own business. It never stopped amazing me how many people I met that had that special kind of stupid quality about them.
2:06 Spray foam protection to rodent vulnerable hoses and cables, might actually be the closest we've come to a useful application of spray foam to cars. It nearly worked.
Left-Right confusion syndrome is pretty common and not dangerous. Visual queues like signs and map directions are no issue. It’s usually verbal instructions that get mixed up. If my partner says “turn left” will very confidently take the right turn sometimes. Is annoying as hell lol. Having the L and R notes on the dashboard are very helpful. You can drive safely with this condition
2:10 Possibly the most reasonable use of spray foam on a vehicle I have seen, although for it to be effective you would create a nightmare for future maintenance.
@@novarat4089 Reminds me of the saying from a contractor that if someone is constantly trying to show off their car then they likely don't have much else and you should get paid up front.
That BMW has an N55 engine and it's #6 rod bearing is VERY susceptible to infrequent oil changes. They're known to spin that bearing and you should change the oil more often than BMW recommends, use proper long life rated synthetic oil, avoid jackrabbit starts and fast cornering that will reduce oil pickup from the pump. If you're smart, you'll have your shop change all the rod bearings when you go in for an oil pan gasket leak around 100-120,000 miles since the real expense is getting the oil pan off. The bearings aren't much more to do. Ask for ARP bolts to replace the factory rod bolts, they'll torque more accurately.
how do we screw up the simplest things? weve been making bearings like that for what, a century? and now ze germans cant keep theirs alive unless the oil is changed every 3 weeks... sometimes we move backwards.
If we learn anything from these videos is the old DIY days are over. I'm a retired 35 year auto mechanic and diesel mechanic. Recently bought a late model car, looked under the hood, I decided if I ever had a problem with this car I would take it to a qualified mechanic. I guarantee if will be done right by a qualified mechanic. You are going to save lots of money, because if you do it yourself and screw it up, the mechanic is going to charge you to undo your mistake, and charge you do the repair correctly.
I used to be a master certified mechanic, back in the day of carburetors, when electronic ignition was new. I quit doing anything, besides oil changes, brakes, and front end parts, long long ago.
If you're ever in a pinch for a gasket, you can use an old school manilla folder. It'll last a lot longer than cardboard! A trick I learned from a civilian counterpart when I was a vehicle mechanic in the Air Force.
i am zero at mechanics but at least i can pronounce 'please replace this tie rod' or 'yes, i need a new brake line, how much is it?' or 'i need an oil change on my 50 grand bmw'
I'm not much of a car mechanic, but I try to do as much as I can to save money, I've never gotten myself into any of these wild situations. If I truly can't do something or can't find a tool I need from a friend, I just pay someone to do it. These people are crazy! On a side not, I would love to see some motorcycle clips. I service all of my motorcycles myself, but I bet there a lot of hilarious motorcycle videos like this. Maybe a dedicated motorcycle channel, you can call it, Just Wheelied In.
I’m following this channel from Western Europe. I’m finally glad that here we have a yearly mandatory technical control of our vehicles (starting around 4 years old for cars, or as from the first day for heavy trucks). Germany is one of the more exigent, but they also allow you to drive without speed limit on some highways. I’m a DIYer and take care of all my toys, but I have been rejected for my trailer that had a brake activation problem that I did not notice. I also remember in the 80’s that we were used to do the yearly check in Belgium, but in France it started only in 1992, and before that date you could see some garbage on the road.
1:48 The L/R signs on the dashboard are for people that often transport a passenger that is mute. The parent of a mute child might do this, as well as some Uber drivers.
Learn something new every day! We saw this in an older video but it was L/R on the steering wheel so I thought it was maybe the same thing (they didn't know).
That's the dumbest thing I've read today. You have to be paying attention to them to even see what they're tapping on (L or R) which makes it useless. Once they do get your attention, they can simply point left or right. This is also ignoring the modern world of gps (Uber drivers would have no use for that as they have to use the gps anyway).
@@wbfaulk depending on the driving situation, depends dude. The point is, if you can see in your peripheral that someone is point to one or the other, you can see their fucking finger point to one side or the other, the l and r are useless. If you can't see them becuase you are looking right for example, then they are even more useless. Try again
@@BoredLikeHelI Yes, because it's way too hard to hear somebody tap the dashboard, and then quickly dart your eyes to the side to see what they're pointing at.
I think that is for the benefit of the navigator with a map. ("You said LEFT" "I meant RIGHT") You would think a Sat Nav would be a better option but I have known my other half argue with that too. Knew an old Mariner, he was useless with left and right, but spot on with Port and Starboard!
I may not be the smartest person in the world BUT I know the limits of my knowledge and when it comes to automotive wiring and electronics I happily take my vehicles to the local mom and pop auto shop in my town!!
They went through the work of removing the thermostat housing and chose to put a piece of card board? Hell at the very least if your gonna half ass it at least use just the silicone gasket maker what did they expect the cardboard to do?
The snake got the job done. Don't have to worry about the mice chewing on the wires. I have heard that mice chew on the wires because the insulation for the wires are made from soybeans.

@@pecheur1951 Mine was a 1988, pretty much one of the last ones made. Back when I had it (end of the 90ies) it was an unattractive and old fashioned car mostly driven by old men, for me as an university student not really desirable. But it was cheap, reliable and very economic
I always like the "Palate Cleanse" photos at the end. Also, what the hell is the logic with all the spray foam use? In no universe will spray foam fix anything on a car!
In case of the Fuel line chewing, they tried to prevent rodents to walk outside over the tank to the fuel pump, because that area is not shielded from the outside world.
That funnel might actually have been left there by another shop. I once had my oil changed only to open the hood a few days later to give someone a jump and found that the oil cap was missing and I had to buy another one. During that time, I had driven through very heavy rain. I'm amazed the car still drove after that to this day.
I deal with a lot of bs in my line of work but I've never once been expected to find someone's missing snake they let loose in their car. I will be so much more thankful for my job as long as I can remember that.
1:47 I think that L & R is for the passenger who is giving directions. It's on the passenger dash, not the drivers side, after all. How many of us have been told, 'Turn left here.", taken that left & then been told it should have been the other way, after all? Looks like that driver got sick of it!
@@bige.3474 I know a guy who put tape with L & R on the top of his ski poles so he could get them in the right hands. He then told me that when he looked at them after wards in his hands, he realised they were his initials.

@@sidecarmisanthrope5927 That's a good one lol, I'm stealing that.
Thanks for the eye-wash at the end! 😊
2:25 tom and jerry fix is wild
That car had an *ecosystem* in it
Roaches and Big Mac wrappers count too…
another reason you don't let your significant other work on your brakes!!! fuel line and hose clamps to fix the brake lines. yep!
She has a good life insurance policy maybe haha
Honey, I fixed the car just remember I raised the policy to 2 mil so drive real fast.
I'm genuinely shocked someone with the knowledge to use fuel hose properly would think that would work. Or somehow miss all the leaking brake fluid.
I’m a retired technician that was in the trade for over 45years and ran my own business. It never stopped amazing me how many people I met that had that special kind of stupid quality about them.
Daaaaaaamn, 2:26. I have a rattle noise near pedals. 😂😂😂
Loved the one with the snake still having it's lunch 😂
2:06 Spray foam protection to rodent vulnerable hoses and cables, might actually be the closest we've come to a useful application of spray foam to cars. It nearly worked.
Left-Right confusion syndrome is pretty common and not dangerous. Visual queues like signs and map directions are no issue. It’s usually verbal instructions that get mixed up. If my partner says “turn left” will very confidently take the right turn sometimes. Is annoying as hell lol. Having the L and R notes on the dashboard are very helpful. You can drive safely with this condition
And on the passenger side like that I would say it's for the benefit of the passenger giving directions.
Some people really need to just use public transportation!!😞😞😞
Well, they *did* ride the short bus to Remedial Kindergarden...
Indeed. Let someone who knows their left from their right drive you places.
I mean, logically, everybody would benefit from MOST people doing that with a much better public transit system in place.
Schools should have a mandatory car care class. I mean they can't read or write or do math any longer... but they can still change their oil.
Unless you can do it with a joy stick or your thumbs......not likely
@@hotpuppy1 I was trying to be nice .😂😂😂
If kids can’t figure out what gender they are when they wake up in the morning, you think they can figure out how to change their oil??
Especially for that customer who needs to have labels in the car for left and right. It would probably be a nightmare asking them for directions.
@@ryanm4013LOL 😂, they wouldn't know that the " dipstick " goes into the hole.
2:10 Possibly the most reasonable use of spray foam on a vehicle I have seen, although for it to be effective you would create a nightmare for future maintenance.
Nevermind "Snakes on a plane", I got 'em in my dash!
Always makes me laugh when people have a $50k+ car, but cheap out on maintenance.
I think it’s more that they ignorance out
thats how you can tell someone spent their entire bank account on a car just to look rich
@@novarat4089 Reminds me of the saying from a contractor that if someone is constantly trying to show off their car then they likely don't have much else and you should get paid up front.
Is it even being cheap with a BMW? Don't they include free maintenance for a while with new cars?
@@counterfit5 That still requires you to go to the shop and have it done.
Sometimes I think "another shop" or "my friend" means they are too embarrassed to admit it was they who actually screwed up.
The snake repair was hilarious the best of boys
That BMW has an N55 engine and it's #6 rod bearing is VERY susceptible to infrequent oil changes. They're known to spin that bearing and you should change the oil more often than BMW recommends, use proper long life rated synthetic oil, avoid jackrabbit starts and fast cornering that will reduce oil pickup from the pump. If you're smart, you'll have your shop change all the rod bearings when you go in for an oil pan gasket leak around 100-120,000 miles since the real expense is getting the oil pan off. The bearings aren't much more to do. Ask for ARP bolts to replace the factory rod bolts, they'll torque more accurately.
how do we screw up the simplest things? weve been making bearings like that for what, a century? and now ze germans cant keep theirs alive unless the oil is changed every 3 weeks... sometimes we move backwards.
Even easier, don't buy a BMW
snake eating a mouse inside the car - that's definitely something i've never seen before
That’s something I NEVER want to see when opening the door!!
that snake hahahhaaa
Another JRI video makes a great start to the weekend. Thanks guy.
Have a great weekend!
If we learn anything from these videos is the old DIY days are over. I'm a retired 35 year auto mechanic and diesel mechanic. Recently bought a late model car, looked under the hood, I decided if I ever had a problem with this car I would take it to a qualified mechanic. I guarantee if will be done right by a qualified mechanic. You are going to save lots of money, because if you do it yourself and screw it up, the mechanic is going to charge you to undo your mistake, and charge you do the repair correctly.
I used to be a master certified mechanic, back in the day of carburetors, when electronic ignition was new. I quit doing anything, besides oil changes, brakes, and front end parts, long long ago.
I think a lot of us are in that same boat with these newer cars. ☹️
The timing of the beep in the second submission was absolutely perfect!
Well, the snake may have been hard to find (for the owner only, it seems) but it knew the job well enough.
I would not trust these customers to maintain a bicycle 😂
Or a shoe lace
If you're ever in a pinch for a gasket, you can use an old school manilla folder. It'll last a lot longer than cardboard! A trick I learned from a civilian counterpart when I was a vehicle mechanic in the Air Force.
i am zero at mechanics but at least i can pronounce 'please replace this tie rod' or 'yes, i need a new brake line, how much is it?' or 'i need an oil change on my 50 grand bmw'
$50k, better look again !
Must be a used BMW.
No I said I wanted to drive a VIPER!
Where do ya take a snake ??
@@practicalplinking6133 Dodge ball practice
2008 Viper Super Snake
I'm not much of a car mechanic, but I try to do as much as I can to save money, I've never gotten myself into any of these wild situations. If I truly can't do something or can't find a tool I need from a friend, I just pay someone to do it. These people are crazy! On a side not, I would love to see some motorcycle clips. I service all of my motorcycles myself, but I bet there a lot of hilarious motorcycle videos like this. Maybe a dedicated motorcycle channel, you can call it, Just Wheelied In.
I’m following this channel from Western Europe. I’m finally glad that here we have a yearly mandatory technical control of our vehicles (starting around 4 years old for cars, or as from the first day for heavy trucks). Germany is one of the more exigent, but they also allow you to drive without speed limit on some highways. I’m a DIYer and take care of all my toys, but I have been rejected for my trailer that had a brake activation problem that I did not notice. I also remember in the 80’s that we were used to do the yearly check in Belgium, but in France it started only in 1992, and before that date you could see some garbage on the road.
1:48 The L/R signs on the dashboard are for people that often transport a passenger that is mute. The parent of a mute child might do this, as well as some Uber drivers.
Learn something new every day! We saw this in an older video but it was L/R on the steering wheel so I thought it was maybe the same thing (they didn't know).
That's the dumbest thing I've read today.
You have to be paying attention to them to even see what they're tapping on (L or R) which makes it useless. Once they do get your attention, they can simply point left or right. This is also ignoring the modern world of gps (Uber drivers would have no use for that as they have to use the gps anyway).
@@BoredLikeHelI You can't see the passenger side of your dash without specifically paying attention to it?
@@wbfaulk depending on the driving situation, depends dude. The point is, if you can see in your peripheral that someone is point to one or the other, you can see their fucking finger point to one side or the other, the l and r are useless.
If you can't see them becuase you are looking right for example, then they are even more useless.
Try again
@@BoredLikeHelI Yes, because it's way too hard to hear somebody tap the dashboard, and then quickly dart your eyes to the side to see what they're pointing at.
The legendary "another shop" strikes again 🤣😂😅
Poor snake, he didn't get to have enough private time to enjoy the mouse. Caught in the act!
I love the way these clips always end with a classic or a professionally done resto-mod - love them!
Already looking forward to seeing a LOT of these in the end of year best of video!😂
He ran out of snake oil . Why not get the real thing ? 😂
Dale Gribble mouse removal 😂🤣😂
Thanks for posting pics of our cars. That made our night 😊
1:47 Gerstmann syndrom or a more general left and right weakness is actually a thing.
I think that is for the benefit of the navigator with a map. ("You said LEFT" "I meant RIGHT") You would think a Sat Nav would be a better option but I have known my other half argue with that too. Knew an old Mariner, he was useless with left and right, but spot on with Port and Starboard!
I may not be the smartest person in the world BUT I know the limits of my knowledge and when it comes to automotive wiring and electronics I happily take my vehicles to the local mom and pop auto shop in my town!!
I mean the snake is an out there but practical solution
Using nature to fight nature. There's nothing more practical than that! 😀
I have a feeling someone told him to use a cereal box and make a cardboard gasket, he went another Amazon box route.😂
Cereal box no good, must be milk carton
Cars keep getting more difficult to work on and customers keep getting dumber. Thanks for sharing buddy.
That garish mess in the final clip deserves it's own 'Customer declined repairs".
They went through the work of removing the thermostat housing and chose to put a piece of card board? Hell at the very least if your gonna half ass it at least use just the silicone gasket maker what did they expect the cardboard to do?
I've been known to make gaskets out of heavy paper, but why would someone think that corrugated cardboard would work?
The snake got the job done. Don't have to worry about the mice chewing on the wires. I have heard that mice chew on the wires because the insulation for the wires are made from soybeans.
Long time subscriber, love all your vids! The snake though? Wow!! Keep em coming bro!!
2:24 We have a winner here! In all categories too! The perfect balance of stupidity and awesomeness, and I doubt anyone can compete with this in the future.
There is a lot going on with that last car.
🤣🤣 That snake one is HYSSSSSS-terical 🐍🙈 sorry!! Have a great weekend my friend 👍
😂😂 you as well! Enjoy your weekend 👍
I can only speak for myself but I'm so happy that the universe brought spray foam and idiots together. Free entertainment, everybody!
I always show these videos to my wife and always tell her that these are people on the road beside her. She is always scared to shivers.
I really like the end where he just shows relatively and normal car
It's called rinse
the snake eating the mouse takes the cake, that's a new one
3:20 rare to see an Opel Ascona C nowadays, especially on a channel that is mainly US based.
If you were cool in our town back in the day you'd own an Ascona. I'm 53 now 😅
Glade you like it, that's my car, we still have a few driving around in The Netherlands :)
@@pecheur1951
When I was 19 I got my father's Ascona C and used it while I was an university student. At the time it was an old and unattractive vehicle, but quite reliable and very economic.
After 400tkm / 260k mls it was rusted too much to pass technical inspection
@@pecheur1951
Mine was a 1988, pretty much one of the last ones made. Back when I had it (end of the 90ies) it was an unattractive and old fashioned car mostly driven by old men, for me as an university student not really desirable. But it was cheap, reliable and very economic
That snake clip is like something out of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. At least it's a friendly python.
I always like the "Palate Cleanse" photos at the end. Also, what the hell is the logic with all the spray foam use? In no universe will spray foam fix anything on a car!
It solves the what do I do while on drugs question !!
In case of the Fuel line chewing, they tried to prevent rodents to walk outside over the tank to the fuel pump, because that area is not shielded from the outside world.
Reminds me of an old aviation joke.
Complaint: mouse suspected in cockpit.
Repair: Cat installed.
Snake: she swallowed a spider to catch the fly... I don't know why... perhaps she'll die...
1:53 to be fair, that looks like something done by the customer's kid
Holy stickers, Batman!!
That funnel might actually have been left there by another shop. I once had my oil changed only to open the hood a few days later to give someone a jump and found that the oil cap was missing and I had to buy another one. During that time, I had driven through very heavy rain. I'm amazed the car still drove after that to this day.
I LOL'd so hard at the snake.
😂😂😂 I knew there was gonna be at least 1 spray foam video. 😅😊❤
I love JRI Fridays!!
I love the mouse snake approach xD
Customer states they hear a buzzing noise coming from the seat and it follows them when they leave the vehicle 😂
I deal with a lot of bs in my line of work but I've never once been expected to find someone's missing snake they let loose in their car. I will be so much more thankful for my job as long as I can remember that.
The snake idea was ingenious 😂😂😂
1:53 that's a navigators helper so they can tell you the right way to turn, "no the other right" get tiring fast.
1:47 I think that L & R is for the passenger who is giving directions. It's on the passenger dash, not the drivers side, after all.
How many of us have been told, 'Turn left here.", taken that left & then been told it should have been the other way, after all? Looks like that driver got sick of it!
My cousin tattooed left and right on the back of her hands to help when driving. She was dead serious.
@@bige.3474 I know a guy who put tape with L & R on the top of his ski poles so he could get them in the right hands. He then told me that when he looked at them after wards in his hands, he realised they were his initials.
