@Scotty Here in the UK our government hasn't reached their promise on EV chargers for 2023 😂 But like 90% of our motorway service stations do have 1 or more installed.
😊😊😊😊
Word is GM is still trying to figure out how to make the EVs leak oil.
What's crazy is ford and GM literally takes a piss on their customers and they do not care.
Shut up and take my $$🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
💀😭🤣🤣😭😭😭
Dealers would still be like: "bUt Oh ThAt'S nOrMaL"
😂😂
Give them time. They will figure it out.
Scotty is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs....
It's funny how we went from 70s cars built with metal to a mix of plastic became it was cheaper but the cost for us went up then they went to 90% plastic so cost to build cars came way down but the cost for us to buy them went way up and now they want us in EV's because its better but it's double the cost of a normal car, The worse the cars are the more they cost,
It has nothing to do with the type of car, its corporate greed.
Tem muito a ver com a agenda ambiental. Essa maldita farsa tocada por ambientalistas e militantes financiados por algumas pessoas que não tem na verdade preocupação nenhuma com o meio ambiente (e sim com os bolsos deles).
Chinese workers are being paid way more now. Ahahahahahah.
ya, it was once get some crap for less, n now it's pay a lot more for all that crap.
CEOs pay went up 5000%...
We love Scotty in Ontario, Canada! I tell everyone about him and not to buy a vehicle unless you check it out on YT with this adorable, bright and honest man!
Also watching Scotty from ON!
I remember how excited I was as a teenager to get behind the steering wheel, and now, people want to let the car do the driving for them? That's a crazy and dumb concept on so many levels. As a 66 yr old man, I still want to drive my own car.
Gimme a 74 Judge or Road Runner
@@rogerpenske2411❤ absolutely. Any day. Mine got 3 gas stations to a mile. 😅
They never perfected it all the way that is the problem 😂
@@rogerpenske2411The Judge was only made in ‘69 and ‘70 with roughly 300 ‘70s actually titled as ‘71s.
Get a motorcycle, they will never make them "selfriding"..
I appreciate your hard work Scotty.
Me too.
I wonder if the useless engine beauty covers were designed to contain the engine heat? What do you say Scotty?
your a dip
Eu támebm. Parabéns, Scott. Você presta um serviço de utilidade pública incrível e totalmente necessário, que infelizmente poucos estão dispostos a fazer.👏👏👏
When your engine begins to start harder and slower than normal, especially when it's colder outside, start looking for a new battery. It just happened to me. Starting was fine during the summer and on warm fall days but then became weak on cold days. My old battery was over 8 years old so I was pretty sure that was the problem. Installed a new Optima battery and now it fires right up.
I've got an '06 Chevy Colorado and l have swapped batteries to charge them many times while its running. Never had a problem with the computer.
I'm from Brazil, not a mechanic but I like a lot your work! Thanks...
Scotty,
Something I’ve noticed in your videos is that you’ll occasionally drop a line or two with some important information specifically about buying a new or used car like checking the country it’s made in (despite the external label). Do you think you could make a video or a spreadsheet/document centralizing a lot of these points? I saw you have made a few videos about buying new and used cars but they’re over 10 years old now and I can’t help but wonder how the automotive scene has changed since then.
Last summer there was hundreds of these self driving vehicles in san francisco driving around, i have to say didn't see one golng thought stop signs or red lights
Were you at every single stop 🛑 sign and red lights when all of the hundred or so of the Tesla’s crossed each of those intersections?
This channel is focused on older, gullible people that watch FOX news and dont want change lol. I still love Scotty though, but he has a clear bias against EV's and autonomy.
@@CrossWindsPatliberals you mean.
It doesn't destroy anything I test alternators all the time removing the battery terminal.
Imagine if Ford and GM put that ev money and effort into improving their ICE vehicles?
Why should GM woryy about money when they got a government bailout over $100 BILLION. They'll get another one.
That might depend on who is president when it happens
No they didn’t.
@@TT-qo9dv…. No they didn’t what?
Your numbers are wildly inaccurate…
*Taypayer bailout. The Government doesn't have any money to give.
Friend,I love your outbursts🤣😂😍🐍🤗what I love about my cars are:autonomy,900 kms for example, only 5 mns to fill up,reliability,and A minimum mandatory NOISE,otherwise I could go to sleep!...and when I walk,I HATE these gadgets arriving close to my butt without hearing them coming!!!apart from tire noise at the last second...have my best wishes for the new year!!!
I must say I enjoy your content Scotty. My biggest worry about a electric car is if the battery goes bad it's major
new battery for EV costs $ 20,000.
might as well chunk / junk it, n get
a new(er) I.C.E. vehicle for that.
If? You mean when, which is generally no more than 65,000 miles.
I did a wet semi synthetic trans fluid and filter change @130k miles on my 1998 Sienna, installed a 3500lb hitch, added a 12"x12" cooler, and changed the radiator before I was forced to pull a U-Haul in an emergency rescue, moving contents of a house across South New Jersey. Thank God the land if flat as a pancake! I pulled at least 3X the 1000lb towing capacity 75 miles and 5 trips😂😂 My new Posi-quiet brakes were useless until I was 45mph or less and the fade was scary😮😂. 5 years passed and I have 170K mileage, and another set of MOOG control arms and ball joints now, and it shifts like new. 😃
GM is very aware that the government is going to bail them out. In other words Mr. Taxpayer will pick up the tab. Done it before!
Better yet change your transmission fluid on a regular basis. There are two schools of thought on this. Every time you change your oil you suck out a quart and put a new quart in. OR every 30,000 to 50,000 miles do a complete fluid and filter change. In a perfect world do both. people complain that is expensive but it is 10 times cheaper than replacing the transmission. (side note dodge and others are selling no maintained transmission, do not believe them. If you go look up the OEM manufacture schedule nothing has changed. They still need regular service.)
We went through a stage here n Sydney where cars were pumping out a Sulphur smell. Turns out the fuel being sourced from Asia was responsible.
I'm an old Kirby guy.. Rainbows better for asthma but the renovator attachments are unbeatable on the Kirby...and the Kirby has always had a dual winding motor...two speeds ...low speeds for the regular vac and highspeed for the hose and other attachments .. 180 fpm.. unbelievable and no other vac but a big shop vac has that power . So the electric cars ? Is it a dual wind motor for a Tesla or some other electric ...it's insane acceleration and I hope you can hang on cuz most people find the only tree in the county at 240mph
Hey Scotty, happy new year btw, WHAT IF the battery fails while we are driving in such a way that it results in an internal disconnection (the same electrical result as a disconnected cable) ? I suppose it could result in a destroyed computer too.... just wondering ???? I like your very informative videos !
It doesn't necessarily destroy the computers but it can vary from no noticeable effect (if the alternator regulation is REALLY good), to the car sputters or shuts off (voltage regulation bad but not terrible), or possibly damage to the computer(s) or sensors (voltage regulation is getting out of hand without the battery there to stabilize it). This happened on my Grand Prix and it landed in the "car sputters or shuts off" bin.
The longer the problem is allowed to persist, the higher the chances for worse effects.
That doesn't happen and it wouldn't fry the computers either.
The batteries are put in parallel such that if one of them connects like that breaks, then you'll just have slightly decreased power and range, like 1% lower
What IF the engine dies in such a way as to lead to a loss of power in the drivetrain and electrical systems.
🤔 Just makes you think
Scotty, I'd love to see you do a video on the Ford Model T. I like them and I think it's earned a spot as an antique highlight if you're able to make time for it!
@@maj8301 what makes you qualified to say that exactly?
@@TheLittleTrombone_01 because he's full of 💩
@@maj8301 They were slow but they were not unreliable, you could easily work on them. Think of history, this was the first car in history to be affordable for many americans. Its hard to find as A. many of them became hot rods in the 1950s and do not think about today, think about how revolutionary it was for so many americans.
@@xeneomorph Model T was like the Commodore 64 of cars.
@@xeneomorphModel T cars are not all that hard to find and are really not all that expensive to buy. Ford made over 15 million of them over 20 years.
18,000 views in an hour. Not bad Scotty
Autonomous EVs are a total joke.
Totally agree.
Autonomous driving itself is a total joke. We have hands and feet so we could drive. Handicaps shouldn’t be driving. I have to laugh when Tesla claims “full self driving”, then says “well, you need hands in the wheel and foot on the pedal”…like isn’t that NOT self driving? Crazy.
You're the joke, EVs are the future with or without you
autonomous driving drives car into a wall, ditch, and/ or off a cliff.
@@driver4011 those issues will be completely resolved before it reaches the masses
We've already seen some EVs get bricked from OTA firmware updates. They are rolling computers. And just like computers and phones, can be royally screwed up by updates.
Good stuff Scotty.
I've said it many times. Mary Barra and the board of GM should be fired and replaced!
Love your tips and advice.
7:56 hey Scotty, i think he probably meant, why does his car idle rough AFTER I disconnect the battery. If thats the case, its because you reset all of your adaptive fuel values and the computer has to relearn them. Usually only takes a couple minutes idling to relearn
i stopped by a chrysler jeep dealership today to look for fun , they had a grand wagon for 114,000 yes that much , lots of diesel trucks 2500 were 105000 to 112000 thousand dollars just wow . CLOVIS CALI
Code reader says knock sensor low voltage, can I put in new sensor to fix ? I learn a lot watching your videos 😊

Hey Scotty what brand battery do you use in your Toyota Celica?
Scotty Kilmer always on point with his questions and answers
Hi Scotty...did I understand you correctly........typical mechanic labor rate in the USA runs around 150 to 200 USD per hour?......I'm thinking of buying a old motorbike or car to do a US road tour this year.....
The EV joke is on them😂
Or their large back lot of unsold cars ; )
is a oil catch can worth it ? as there's alot of vacuum when you take of the oil cap off? ( when i accidentally put additives in (Ametech etc - i blew the cam seal /o-ring ) as the oil was already at Max B4 hand ? Q - would a breathable Catch can stop this from happening . . . ? Cheers Scotty . . .
My opel corsa utelity..rough cold start .rev goes high
Scotty what’s your thoughts on the 2006 4.6L V8 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition I’m loving it
Scotty should fill the gap on the NPR car talk!!!
Thankfully, that old saying "the economy goes as GM goes" no longer applies.
Oh yeah. They got me. I just brought a 2022 Chevy Silverado pick up truck. With 56 thousand miles on it. And it’s already leaking transmission fluid.) I only had the truck. For 2 weeks.. !! Never again 😡😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬
Scotty My Catalytic Converter on the Right Side of my (2008 V6 3.5L Nissan Maxima SE) is getting Red Hot and i dont know why,It also has a Burning Smell to it,I changed my 2nd Cylinder Ignition Coil but my Engine still drives rough & Idk What to do
@scottykilmer I have a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport (in Colorado) with 211K miles that I bought for 4500K. When I turn the wheels all the way to the left or right with 2WD it is just fine, but when I do it with the 4wd it shakes the stearing wheel. If I just do a regular turn (like a corner street) with the 4wd it doesnt shake. Jeep doesn't have dead wobble.
I charge 2000 for a consult.- Scotty
Thanks Scotty, always good information 🛻
In the UK they are changing the no road tax for EV to either 6p a mile or £400 a year coning 2025.... they wear the road more.
God I had a 94 e300 had 120k miles bought it in 2014 sold it in 2017
Straight 6 and rear wheel drive only issue I had was a radiator replacement and had a horrendous time getting a regular garage to replace the radiator had to sign a liability release for garage to get the job done
"God I had a 94 e300 had 120k miles bought it in 2014 sold it in 2017". I bet that you will not tell god if you get an EV lol.
@@johnlesoudeur3653 lol wouldn’t own a EV a hybrid I’ve had. Those make sense
Scotty,
My 2000 4Runners CEL came in with codes P0125 P1135 and P1130

Plus...THEY'RE ON TRACKS! I don't trust anyone else's driving as it is. I'm sure as hell not going to let the car drive!
Never. Unless every single vehicle on the road is controlled by one central computer. Too many variables. But if that ever happens, it wont matter though, we'll have lost.
I remember how excited I was as a teenager to get behind the steering wheel, and now, people
Scotty, I have 2008 Chev Malibu 3.6l. I keep getting a P0017 code. Tried the cheaper options: changed Crank sensor, exhaust Cam sensor, and exhaust VVT Actuator. Cleared the code each time. The code remains off regardless of miles driven until next on/off key cycle. Then code comes back on. Car runs great, idles great, no misfires. I’m confused on what to do next. I’m afraid it’s something regarding the timing since I’ve read GM had issues in the past but that can get costly. Any thoughts or ideas on what to check next?
PS love your content!
Alright I know evs aren’t the favorite here but I do drive an EV and I like to drive and the safety features are cool but I don’t like having a car drive for me. I feel people who get anxious on the road use autopilot/similar software to take control, I get nervous around those drivers because you don’t know who’s driving
Hey Scott do you know how to reset the keyless entry code on a 2013 Ford escape?
Scotty enjoying a cup of coffee at 6:01 🙂
Once a battery gets older then 4 years old, you might consider replacing it.
How many modules are in an electric car & how much does it cost to replace battery?🤔
For those of you who don’t know how to tell how if it’s highway miles?! Look at the oil change or last service and the current miles. And the dates! If it’s putting 500-1000 miles bi weekly in city the car would run like crap most likely near dead even best kept wear out fast in city drives stop/go
Back in the day Scotty would have been ranting on Henry Ford. "This assembly line stuff is a waste! Give me a good horse and buggy any day!" 😅
Flex pipes are a dumb idea. They wear out and are expensive. My Chrysler uses a hollow ball joint. Works great for decades, cheap to make or replace.
Scotty's the best! Loooove the graphic at 9:32! LOL
This is a little off topic, but what's the deal with GM going in and closing up dealerships? We had a state of the art GM dealership in my area, which was a great place to go to buy an awesome service department, and it makes me wonder about the stability of GM ?
“General Motors bought out roughly half of Buick dealers across the U.S. due to their reluctance to sell electric vehicles as the automaker looks to transition to EVs. About half of GM's 2,000 Buick dealers accepted the voluntary buyout.Dec 21, 2023”
Not one of GM smartest moves….
OMG.. this might sound crazy. I just brought a 2019 Chevy Silverado pickup truck. From the local dealership in my area. They just recently remodeled their. 3 months ago. And now they’re closing down. !! I couldn’t believe it. It’s been there since the beginning of time. !! Big red flag. !!!!
GM just had a patent application for an engine with hemispherical cylinder head cavities rejected. Cars and trucks powered by it were to be batched “HEMI-POWERED”. Unfortunately, Belgian car maker Pipe beat GM to it in 1905…
Is there also a true gear for reverse on that Toyota CVT
1:23 Do hybrid motors have an easier life?
Loving the mechanical rotary injector pump timing from crank and vacuum situations.
Absolutely a beautiful situation.
I’ve watched Scotty for many years, this vid is very good, many misc problems’ solutions delivered in his normal 10-12 min video, well worth jotting down in your “Scotty Notebook”. What?? You don’t have one?? 😱!!
Thank you Scotty
Scotty you are a couple of years older than me, but when I was young most cars had generators and not alternators. Always having to check the carbon brushes. Plus the Voltage Regulators!
Self driving technology only works if everyone on the road has it. It won’t be able to avoid accidents with other drivers who drive conventional vehicles.
I have a Hyundai Sonata 2011, new battery and starter. But everytime I cut-off the engine for a couple of minutes it doest doesn't start. What could be the problem?
I need your help Scotty...😢
Thanks Scotty
Why do people fix cars when they are running great just because the computer reads a code something is wrong. My oil change light stays on. Did a random oil check no light was on . Was low on oil a little and no light I put oil in and oil change light came on. Who knew !
today i learned there's a CVT implementation scotty doesn't completely hate 😅
Scotty: Talk to an aeronautical engineer about RTCA. It's RTCA, not the FAA that ensures aircraft safety, both h/w and s/w. It's a long story, but simply put, every line of code in an airliner undergoes independent verification and validation (IV&V). This is one reason why airliners are so safe. I asked a Tesla engineer, does you code undergo independent verification and validation? Answer was a sheepish, well... no. And cars, unlike airplanes, have to deal with pedestrians. Okay.. In 1942, Asimov created the Three Laws Of Robotics. Does anybody designing robots or self driving cars do ANYTHING to incorporate The First Law Of Robotics into their systems. Oh, h311 no! Keep up the good work, Mr Kilmer!
Corollas dont last longer than honda.....my last honda was an accord it had about 370k when it was rearended...still ran perfect... the hondai got after that, is a 5 spd civic SI, that has a little over 300k..and runs perfect..these 2 arent my only high milage hondas either...my hondas, mazdas and fords have all ran good over 300k...
Oh really. My Toyota Corolla has 4 hundred thousand miles on it.. with no issues. 2013. ! Best car ever made !!
on the topic of vehicles running hotter. my 06 gto boy oh boy does she like it hot. 220+ always you can burn yourself on the crossbar under the hood. but its within opporating temp and gets 26 mpg on the interstate
I'm 26. I can't afford anything
Hey scotty , do you know anything about the Toyota Town ace.?
Love your advice and shows.
I hate them nasty hot springs
I wish Scotty was a master medical doctor⛑️ as well as he is a master mechanic 👩🏻🔧
Self driving cars are going to be a boon for personal injury lawyers.
When Scotty makes a video, I feel obligated to watch.
I found out that i really like espresso. I'm very upset nobody told me how good it is til this point in my life.

Aloha Scottie! Love your content
I was told change the engine oil at 1,000 miles for the very first oil change in a new car. Is this true?
Read your owner's manual it says it in the how to break in your new car section
Change it as soon as you get it.
..without a doubt; Scotty is a gifted car mechanic of our time..
Didnt the car industry move to cheaper labor, but did the price of vehicles go down? HELL NO!!!!
Why have you dug three holes? Well, the first two were too small.
