Tesla Model S; Leaky Coolant Valve Replacement

Howdy folks! In this video I'm actually working on my personal car, a 2015 Tesla Model S 70D. When preparing to go on a trip last weekend, I discovered a small puddle of coolant under the car and found that one of the coolant valves under the frunk was leaking slightly, so here's the process of replacing it.

Tesla LDU "Speed Sensor" Check (For Model S and X)

มุมมอง 2.3Kหลายเดือนก่อน

Howdy folks! In this video, I demonstrate how to remove and inspect the rotor encoder sensor (aka "speed sensor") on your LDU equipped Tesla Model S or X. This is a critical inspection that should be performed regularly on all LDU equipped vehicles, unless of course yours is equipped with a rotor coolant delete manifold of one sort or another. For reference, essentially all 2012 through early 2...

Tesla LDU Rotor Coolant Delete Install (Model S)

มุมมอง 18Kหลายเดือนก่อน

In this video, we install a rotor coolant delete manifold on the Large Drive Unit (LDU) in this 2014 Tesla Model S. Almost all LDUs are prone to a failure of the rotor coolant seal, which ends up leaking into the motor with the potential to cause catastrophic damage to the drive unit. The LDU is equipped in pretty much all RWD and/or Performance versions of the Model S and X from 2012 to early ...

Howdy folks, this is a little bit of a different video from my recent typical repair content, but I've had a few requests for an ownership update on my 2015 Model S 70D, and didn't really have anything else to upload this week, so I threw this together pretty quick.

Nissan LEAF PDM Replacement

มุมมอง 8K2 หลายเดือนก่อน

In this video, we get to work on replacing the Power Delivery Module (PDM) on this 2013 Nissan LEAF. The original complaint was that the car couldn't charge on AC (L1 or L2), but that it could still DC Charge, and had allegedly been previously diagnosed as needing a PDM by a Nissan dealer. I was ale to confirm that the issue was indeed with the onboard charging unit inside the PDM, and get it s...

Howdy folks! In this video, we get to work pulling the battery out of this 2019 Smart ForTwo EQ in order to remove the BMS and send it off for to have the contactor cycle counter reset. The contactor counter getting glitched to 0 cycles remaining is a "known issue" for these cars when a digital logbook/mileage tracker is used. As far as Mercedes is concerned, when something like this happens, n...

How to tell if your Tesla LDU has issues.

มุมมอง 3.6K3 หลายเดือนก่อน

In this video, I show the two common issues/failure modes for the Tesla Large Drive Unit. This applies to of course the RWD and Performance variants of Tesla Model S and X from 2012-2021, as well as the 2012-2014 Toyota RAV4 EV, and 2014-2017 Mercedes B-Class ED/B250e. The most important thing to do on these at least once a year is to inspect the rotor encoder sensor (aka "speed sensor") for si...

Model S CCS Retrofit

มุมมอง 7K3 หลายเดือนก่อน

In this video, I retrofit my 2015 Model S with the proper hardware to be able to communicate with 3rd party CCS/NACS chargers. Basically all Teslas built prior to 2021 did not come with CCS communication hardware from the factory, and require a retrofit in order to "unlock" that capability. For most models, the parts to do so are available over the counter from Tesla, but for Model S built befo...

Howdy folks! Here's the link for Part 2: th-cam.com/video/FPHFoGy0ZDY/w-d-xo.html In this video, I pull the Tesla Large Drive Unit out of this RAV4 EV and get it torn down for a rebuild. In this particular case, an internal coolant leak started to cause a buildup of rust/corrosion in the stator housing, which was causing excessive friction to spin the rotor. Thankfully, the corrosion didn't get...
