Shhhh. Don’t tell Audi.

Motorcraft SERPENTINE BELT Part #JK3-211-A this belt is so cheap I recommend the Ford belt.

Zero additional smoothness as my steering is perfect, this is a maintenance step to extend the life of the rack. Hondas and many other mfg use the lowest amount of cheap grease. Remember this part doesn’t spin so a quality plastic ziptie with a metal lock/tongue clamp should work great but most of the metal ones pop off and reform easy.

thanks for the detailed answer. i guess i'll put some since my boot is torn some of the grease dried out@@mrfrankbosh

@@ynonser5804 sad to say it but these rarely rip unless road debris hit it. Be sure you are on the steering rack which does NOT rotate and just has lateral movement connected to the wheel flange tie rods. 👍 rock on and get a boot with color and be all fancy. Ha ha ha

The little plastic gear only turns the glass table and has nothing to do with the safety of the microwave. They also all seem to be the same. So yes the microwave is safe to use with or without the turning gear. Large items may cook unevenly as the reason to turn the food is to rotate it direct past the radiation tube. The entire compartment is flooded, it will be stronger by the tube.

@@mrfrankbosh can I buy a substitute to go in the middle so it will turn?

@@user-xh6cr6qm4j a.co/d/inGdtLY These are usually all the same. Doesn’t mean they are. If the turning gear works then dropping a missing center piece will allow the table to turn. The best way is to go to appliance plus and find your model number find the part number and then part number. Best of luck, I hope it works for your best outcome.

Monolithic slab pours are the worst plumbing repairs. I love it where a jacuzzi tub is installed and then tiled completely with zero access on a slab. Break and retile to repair.

Very nice, thank you, yes, the Lisle tool works great on a Camry engine also.

There are very few Inline 4 cylinders without balance shafts, if you were as good as you think you are you would know this or you believe every major engine builder has poor engineering.

@@mrfrankbosh I know German engineers like to make designs that use 5 pieces to do a job two can and there are quite a few American 4 cylinder American engine's that have no balance shafts. It is poor engineering and the men who built things with no computer were way smarter. That is a wast of time and money go buy a nother car.

There is a balance shaft delete kit for this engine. Oh I have my issues with German engineers, to remove the starter on this car it is recommended to remove the turbo, remove the turbo to remove a starter that falls out the bottom. Because they put one bolt from the back of the transmission into the starter and it is behind the turbo and the down pipe. Cheers

@@mrfrankbosh I was in the automotive industry for 30 years the further you go back the better the engineering.

I don’t wanna risk anymore things and I can’t find a vid with the same problem

@@israel_7589 that would be a very bad bearing, should have been screaming before you ever got there. It has been a long time since I seen one smoke, the pump was frozen and the belt was sliding on the locked pump. Not good at all.

The struggle to stay organized is real, thank you

Awesome: skills +1, fail zero, you da man

It would fall into the oil pan and clog the oil pickup screen. It should not hurt anything but could clog the screen. You will also lose the protection from surging the oil during acceleration. Best wishes.

@@mrfrankbosh thanks. It was a small piece of it. Like the clip part that sits inside

@@mrfrankbosh I’m going to try and find it with a borescope. But if I can’t then I’m just going to run it

@@mrfrankbosh is there a way I could email you. A pic of what fell inside

Photo really would not help, if it is in there, there is a chance. If you drain the oil it may come out or get jammed in the hole where you can pull it out if not it is wedged somewhere and you can just drive it. If it fell in the engine through the oil filter hole it is in the oil pan. If you get an oil pressure light, you now know why, if you do not, drive on. Best wishes, a photograph really would not help a piece is a piece.

The wobble is not normal and indicates a failing bearing. Do not remove the screws with the belt on the pulley, it will cause the farthest screw to strip the soft aluminum hole. This is a cheap easy DIY project.

@@mrfrankbosh okay great, I appreciate it. I’ll cut the belt. buy a new pump and belt. thanks for the help

The belt from ford was about $15. The pump from ford was about double the local store. I got the factory belt not that it makes a big difference and a local store pump

@@mrfrankboshoh alright gotcha, the slight wobble i see is more noticeable at up at camshaft pulley. so the failing water pump will be the reason for it?

Pray that it is. The pulley towards the front is your cam and it is unlikely to wobble as the journals will hold it very firm and should never wobble. Cut the belt and start the vehicle. The water pump will not turn but you can run a cold engine several minutes with no pump. See if it still wobbles. If it does I’d say just live with it. You can also now turn the pump and may feel the bad bearing. If it has over 100,000 and never replaced it is a good bet it is bad or will soon be bad. Also a great time to put new antifreeze in the vehicle every 7 -10 years with long life antifreeze of the same color. Best wishes.

You are welcome

Well said sir. My tanks go 15 to 20 years. Simple maintenance that can save money, odor, taste and health. Thank you for the comment.

@mrfrankbosh Thank you, sometime someone will stumble here and have a light bulb moment even if it just helps one person it's all good.... keep doing what you're doing!

So sorry 😞, this usually is a rattling sound like nut in a tin can…. Soup can. It happens during acceleration or deceleration with the gas engine, so yes it could be your issue. The nice thing about this is even if it is not the cause of your problem, you only have your time and a few dollars in wire and it will prevent this from happing for years to come. Ours was very bad, I can say if it is just starting, it could sound like vibrating metal. Be sure to check the easy heat shields first by putting the vehicle on ramps and attaching vise grips then revving up the engine, if it stops, you found it.

You are so welcome, I just never know what will be helpful.

This rattles with changes in RPM, stopped or moving. Rattles over bumps is most often failed struts. Do not buy Monroe quick struts. Replaced them with rattle in back of car. Replaced all four and they lasted 30,000 miles and replaced them again. Best to keep the factory springs.

I dislike square dishes just banging away inside the microwave; fast and easy fix. Thank you for visiting.

You are very welcome, thank you for the nice reply.

You are very welcome, thank you for the nice reply

The easy way is to place the car on ramp and slide under with the engine running E-Brake set. Use a short 10” piece of wood (ruler or such). Push on the heat shield. If the rattle stops then that is it. A problem is that everything looks right when the car is off - nothing broken. If the shield moves easily that is where the rattle is from. Best of luck the repair is easy but takes time. Use stainless wire if you can find it. Any metal wire will work, true enough, I like stainless.

Best of luck tips
