Excellent video!!!

Great info. I'd only like to add that while you're performing this maintenance, give any grease fittings a shot or two of a good quality grease. 😁

That belt still looked new.. was it do for a change?

@Pen-Pusher Why not switch to a better reliable led bulb replacements, such as sylvania standard led with a 1 year warranty or sylvania zevo premium led with a lifetime warranty? This model may not say u have a bulb burned since it doesn’t have higher tech digital dash screen, even though it will tell u bulb is burned out but it’s not because it runs fine. A sylvania zevo would be a perfect upgrade for ur Jetta and so does the rest of the zevo led bulb replacement for ur vehicle.

Thanks. For the video. Other people's video suck it doesn't explain everything like you do.

Great video! Thanks!

If I want to change all of the bulbs in my headlights from yellow bulbs to LED bulbs how many pairs do I need

That's WAY more work than it needs to be, I used to repair people's steering wheels when they had the exact same problem back in the 80s, I never drilled holes or took the wheel off, I used a needle and syringe filled usually with super glue, I would push the needle into the wheel until it hit metal and then squirt some glue in there, the whole job took me no more than 15 minutes and was ready for use an hour later.

Which way is your head positioned? Is the driver wheel to your left or right?

Yeah if you have baby hands

I need to do this to get at the T-fittings on the coolant pipes to the engine that I just found out have a life of 150 thousand miles or less and mine are now leaking. There ain't much room to get your big hands in there to change the fittings , so this will help.

can you explain how you put the eat down? I have the exact same rear seat design. there are no videos on TH-cam showing how to put it down, nor can I find any information online on how to do it properly. It would be very convenient If you gave an example. It's been a month, and at this point, I'm willing to Rip them out and damage my interior

Mine is doing the same thing and it’s so annoying. I have to pry up to pop it free every time I use the jack. I’ll have to try this.

Excellent vid! I'll be doing this next week. The procedure may be a bit different for my 2005 Sienna, but most of it should overlap. You gave enough info and visuals for me to figure out the idiosyncrasies with the 05' vs the 00'. 👍💯

Did you have to take the cam pulleys off to get the metal rear cover off ? The metal rear cover blocks my water pump from coming off and I noticed that you removed it in the video and didn’t show how you took it off It’s visible in the video at 11:17 behind the idler pully And it’s gone when you go to take the pump off at 12:32

This was helpful

I’m shopping for another car to replace my 2000 Buick Park Avenue that I love because it is so quiet but the driver’s side door won’t open from inside or outside. My mechanic has fixed it, I don’t know how, it quit opening, he fixed it again, it quit opening. One of his customers was selling his 2014 Lexus es 350. I drove it, LOVED it but mileage was too high. So I’m shopping for a used Lexus. I noticed you said, “ Honda's have horrible door and Ignition locks. They use poor quality wafers in the locks that wear out and the key stops working.”. I considered looking at Acura’s. My question, do you think an Acura is as well made as a Lexus? Since Honda has the lock and door problems? Thank you for your advice!

Great video!!!!! Easy to follow, Thanks

You’d think they’d do better in terms of bundling cables and having larger connector junctions so there aren’t so many things to disconnect. This alone could take 30 minutes to an hour. Then again, I suppose it will end up saving hours of work later trying to contort your arms and hands.

thank you for a very good video. easy to follow

Thank you for this clear and well-explained video! I just changed the spark plugs on my 2000 Toyota Sienna, and your video gave me the confidence to do the job, thank you!

You make it look so easy ........ I personally think that VW especially this model is good for the Junk Yard !! I have big hand s and its close to impossible for me to replace this bulb ..

Just got mine in blue, they are badass

Hey, so you have to remove the cam pulleys to get the water pump out?

Wagon or sedan?

Thank you for the details you provided in your video. Specifying the tools at the onset is appreciated. As you progressed, your continued detail is quite beneficial. Your video is well lighted & very professional. Great job!

I’ve watched a few of these videos. This is the best. Thank you for detailed explanation. I’m off to the local HF tomorrow.

God bless you for taking your time for this video very kind of you I'm working on my Toyota sienna 2003 I'm half way there

Nice, simple video

Does anyone know the size of the chain grip needed for this job??

Found one in dumpster and noticed one stuck valve.must be common problem

1- I am from India, but the HEX-NET PRO product is not available here. My uncle resides in Chicago, USA. If he purchases the HEX-NET PRO device for me from the USA, will I be able to activate and use it in India? 2 - Can I perform unlimited car diagnosis, coding, and tweaks with the HEX-NET PRO device? 3 - Is the HEX-NET PRO an one-time purchase, or does it require a yearly subscription? 4 - Do I need to purchase VCDS software separately for it? 5 - What is the activation process for the HEX-NET PRO? 6 - I own a garage. Is the HEX-NET PRO suitable for handling unlimited car VINs? 7 - Does the HEX-NET PRO device come with a cable?

Good film. TU

Bro for low beem & high beem same bulb ?

Thanks for this video. Very well explained. Just 1 question. The coolant sensor down there next to the thermostat is the same part number than the upper one near where the spark plug cable running?

Daytime running light is the hardest one to change. Great tutorial. But VW is the worst for making the most complicated layout for their engine bay to change the simplest things

Mine squeals too whenever I lift it and I have greased everything and bled it out with topping it off with oil and it still does it glad im not the only one experiencing it but at least it works good does yours still make that noise?

This is the most helpful video I’ve ever seen.

Thats is not an easy task !! Specially for people like me with big hands 🥲🫥

They make a tool to remove it

Something to note: 1998-2002 corollas have a major difference that can make this whole different process. On the 8th gen, the thermostat is not easily accessible as it is in the previous generation. Instead, it is mounted on the left side (serpentine belt side) under the alternator. This would require disconnecting the battery, loosening the belt tensioner, as well as the removing the alternator in order to get access to the thermostat. Why this matter? If you have a garden hose and your own driveway to make a mess on, no issues. However, if you don't, you would need to rely on doing multiple flushes in order to get as much coolant out of the engine as possible. You can either do this, with the thermostat in, or out of the car. 1). If you choose to do it with the thermostat taken out, you would need to reinstall the alternator, belt, and tension it before running the car. Since the thermostat is taken out, you can circulate the entire system just with the heater cranked to full, and wait until the coolant gauge is up to temp. Then drain, refill, idle, drain, refill, idle ... with water until it runs clear. And then when you finally are done flushing the system and want to put the old thermostat back in, or replace it with a new one, you would need to remove the alternator again and install it again before filling with new coolant. You also shouldn't drive long long distance running on only water with no thermostat. 2). If you choose to do it with the thermostat in, to avoid having to remove and reinstall the alternator multiple times, you would need to drive in between each drain for at least 20-30 minutes with the heat cranked up. Basically drain and fill it with water once a day and continue with your daily commute until the water is clear. This will taken more time, actual driving, since it's hard to circulate the coolant just with the car idling and waiting for it to get up to temperature for the thermostat to open. So for 8th gen corolla owners (and I think even 9th gen also), if you don't have access to a garden hose and a yard to potentially make a mess on (cause it's hard to aim the drain pan perfectly to not to get some of the coolant/water on the ground), due to the location of the thermostat, your choice is essentially between having to remove and install the alternator and serpentine belt multiple times to flush it quickly to get it done in a day, or having to do it over the course of multiple day or a week slowly with daily drain and fills to avoid having to remove the alternator. Hope this helps.

Best angles, talking clearly, we can see what’s you are talking about. Best video on changing an alternator for this car I could find. Thank you man!

....Wonder how much a used one would have been...Taking it off was 1/2 the job....

Best video ever!!!!!!!

if a fuse was blown, they would not come on at all, intermittent means more likely faulty ground, or relay.

Whew lad. I have this to face because I'm making a cross country trek from Seattle to Miami soon and my sienna has no indication of when timing chain was last done so I'm doing this as preventative maintenance. I want to do the kit for chain and water pump. I've not watched the full video before writing this (about 15:00 in) how much beyond this to do water pump as well?

This guy needed the whole mechanic shop worth of tools just to replace the control arm LOL 😂

Where is the heater drain?

This really helps! The bulb I need to replace, but it’s loose in the headlight cover and out of the socket. Is it easy to remove the cover so I can remove the loose bulb?

Why not take a big bore hypodermic needle and inject some glue down to the steel support core from behind on the steering wheel.
