Scotty Kilmer @ 4:20 you forgot to insert a picture of Toby Maguire with a grin.
I'm from Houston tx and my 2012 cts has a vacuum leak I really need a good mechanic like you to work on it. I have been to 4 different mechanics and none of them could fix it please help I would be very grateful if you would message me and I could bring you my cadillac, thank you and best wishes scotty
The ( so far) 82 dislikes are from Lexus engineers....
Seems like 2 to 3 hours, curious to know what the labor portion of the bill was, as I’m thinking of buying a similar model.
I have FORScan to locate my alarm issue, however I'm having to get some help to locate which lock is the issue.
I love these problem solving videos that you go through steps to find what's wrong from a customers car! Closest to hands on in a video format haha.
No kidding.. The best ones, nobody teaches this stuff anymore but everything can be found here
Best format
Love watching someone with years of experience do their thing👍🏼
My most favorite videos of his, for sure!
You still got it man 👨
Uhhh.. Scotty. It looks like someone tried electrical tape on that old air duct trying to "fix" it.
we need more mechanics like you in this world.
Hey I've seen you on family sized reviews I believe
@@texas3258 hello
once upon a time , there were more. most of them either retired or dead by now.

Save all the old pre computer vehicles .. !
@@livingintongues - They get more and more difficult to get past emissions.

Removing the starter for a thermostat. That sucks.
What a cry baby. If it were up to you the engine bay would be 50 feet long, because you know better than the engineers.
It’s not too bad on this specific engine

Would you settle for a well used thermostat?
The Lexus is fixed,but Scotty looks like he's overheating now...HAHAHA!!.😂👍
Scotty needs to top off with some nice ice cold iced tea!
hahahahahaa so true!
@@SpiritBear12 And a new thermostat.
🤣🤣😂😂
change scotty’s thermostat. Pull down the pants pls
The car is no longer over heating, but you sure are Scotty!
Man, hats off to you for the patience to do this job Scotty.
Yes it would drive me crazy. He has so much experience I'm sure this is nothing for him.
Absolutely....... Scotty, it sure would be nice if you could refer all of us to a mechanic like yourself, where we live. I trust you even though I'm just seeing you through TH-cam.
Scotty edits out the offensive swearing. The third drip of sweat in the eye is worth at least one G dammit
You really HAVE to enjoy it to do it for a living
Yes. As I am getting older, I find my patience is wearing thinner. Or is the cars I have to work on now? An old 60s V8 water pump change was easy. When I did a water pump change in a Saturn, it was 2 bolts from the top, 2 bolts thru the wheel well, (remove the tire) and 2 bolts from under the car. My back wasn't happy snugging the bolts down on the gasket.
Those headlights needs restoring or perhaps replacement, so Mrs. Scotty can see better while driving at night... Seems like the next video 😊😂
Yeah - serious problem #2... those are some seriously dull headlight enclosures/lamps/covers ... or whatever they call 'em these days (cheap plastic crappy overpriced plastic headlight assemblies)...
You make fixing cars look easy and entertaining to watch
I was with it until getting the thermostat out. Yikes.
I'm guessing 3 to 4 hours on this job, not including video attention
Joseph1NJ And that's absolutely rediculous för changing a Thermostat! Not Scotty's fault Lexus Engineering sucks! May be reliable but... That's a great way to make the Stealership richer! At least Scotty wouldn't rip anyone off!
+Lightbrand most older cars have it in far more accessible places dont worry
Remember the good old days when you could change the ancillary components on a car without disassembly of half engine?

Man Scotty I need you in my life, I feel like driving all the way to Texas so you can fix on my car, but I am in South Carolina!
I can fix it for you but I'm in Nigeria.
Worth driving there
Gotta find a good guy to help out with that stuff. I used to have fun fixing that easy stuff.
take 95 to I-10 and head west😁
Just imagine what that repair would cost at the dealer. Yikes!
In fairness, you can see why the dealers charge big bucks for some repairs.
Thermostat repair = $475... WTF? Watch this video.... OK, seems reasonable
@Sam Sguanch true dat
@@deasttn
Doesn't seem reasonable to me. The real problem is the designers and manufacturers that create these modern Frankensteins so that you get discouraged and bring your car to the dealer. Thermostats should not be this difficult to get to and this repair shouldn't cost anywhere near $400 - $500 dollars. They are cheap and in the past, very easy to change yourself. Also, the dealership mechanics work on these vehicles all the time and know the ins and outs and can do this very quickly.
@@deasttn Yeah, they give the job to a kid and pay him $10.
@@wholeNwon the kid passes it to a toddler and gives him a dollar...
'Take the stupid thing off etc'
LOVE IT !! 😂😂
My old 84 Toyota Truck thermostat would be a 5 minute job....MAX or 10-15 minutes given adequate beers.
Nice!!!
Almost gone are the days the thermostat was right on top of the engine in the front and all you had to do was remove top hose and loosen a couple of bolts on the housing
Thats a 10-15 beer job buddy.
And someone in the comments here mentioned a stripper?
Thats another 12 pack easily.
All thats left is to get some coke and snort it off her caboose.
Then the next day or 2 later after recuperating you can change your thermostat in 5 minutes, probably.
Things that are meant to be serviced should be designed and located to be accessed easily. It’s a Lexus, not a Lambhorgini. For cryin’ out loud.
@@MrTheHillfolk LOL
Scotty really knows how to cut down on the video haha. For every other video maker this would have been 30+ minutes whereas Scotty done got it down to 6.
Pervy damn right and right to the point!
That's because it's a 6 min. job in capable hands.
Pervy that job take like 3 hours.
I'm pretty sure his wife is the one doing all the editing and stuff. Editing can take hours. So i'm almost certain he doesn't have that kind of time doing all that he does.
This job, for an amatuer like myself, would take about an hour if I was familiar with the engine and had all the parts. I know cause I just did it a few weeks ago during a timing belt/wp change on a 3mz-fe
Well somebody knew that boot was ripped it was electrical taped
Honestly, I would go as far as the first screw before giving up, I admire this man's tenacity.
hes amazing, has such patience
I’d have an xtra screw 😳?
Not only do you learn how to take care of your own car problems, but there is something super entertaining about watching Scotty work on a car
Time for me to get a lexus and get rid of this german money pit that I have

I know so many videos how to repair mercedes for low prices. Someone succeeded how to fix airmatic suspension for w220 without changing them. If you buy a repair manual you will save a lot of money instead of going to the dealership or i mean stealership.
Wow Wow and this is why a good mechanic is worth the money. Labor intensive jobs!
Seventeen years is a lot of cycling of that thermostat, not bad.
I thought those engines would grow air cooling fins by then..
my 2001 sierra still has original thermostat ,waterpump ,starter , alternator, radiator only compressor for air and fuel pump gave out 2 months ago .
@@rayt5520 you just jinxed yourself
not worried been fixing my cars since early 90s because I couldn't afford a mechanic.@@dean6708
My 94 Cobra had it's original alternator finally go out a few months ago.
I miss my 1971 Ford F100 with a 302 Windsor. That thing was a breeze to work on compared to these newer engines and cramped compartments.
all that to change a thermostat!!! your right Scotty, "they don't make em like they used too"
And thank the Lord they don't...
At the dealership, a thermostat used to bring 1.25 in parts markups because they were easy to replace.
Now it's probably at least 1 hr. flat rate plus the markup. If it were easy, right?
Eh I'll swap some convenience for some survivability anyday
@@gerryrockwell8758 I checked at a website called "your mechanic" they say dealer cost is $237.00 for an 05' Lexus ES330
Had one car where it took me 5 minutes to change a thermostat. Last one, took me a few hours. No room to work.
Scotty you're such a good person. We need more people like you in this cruel world
I’ve basically been binge watching your videos past few days but now my wife’s a little irritated because I’ll be yelling from across the house to her “REV UP YOUR ENGINE!!!”
Same! Haha
My wife loves Scotty
Same 😂😂
Same 😂
🤣😂
I wonder what will happen if you tie Scotty's hands behind his? Will he be able to speak??? will never know ;)
4:39 “sure is one giant pain in the a**” 😂😂😂😂
Funniest part is, if you turn on captions it will say, "Sure is one gigantic pain in the butt".
Showing a thermostat from a cold engine, of course it'll be closed.
@Joe Casson Well he should mention that the only true way to prove that would be to put the thermostat into a pan of hot water..
If it is truly stuck, it will not open.
The one he showd was at room temperature, naturally it would be closed.
I took your advice and bought a new Toyota Camry XSE. I have always driven GM products.
Damm Scotty that was a Pain in The Behind. But now I learned a lot from this video. Great Work!!!!
17 years for a thermostat is pretty darn good. On my old Mini my thermostat built into the plastic thermostat housing didn’t last 6 months.
Hearing you say ‘one big gigantic pain in the a$$’ I almost fell out my chair. Cause lord I know how it can be a pain with some parts
But I missed the over-the-shoulder pic of the donkey's a$$
@daniel strayer - hahaha
Imagine not having the fancy scan tool. That would suck when it comes to troubleshooting
Get blue driver scan tool if your worried about high prices for scan tools there always updating their stuff for more codes & cars Scotty also has a video about that as well.
The scan tool didnt help him in this case,he figured it out on regular troubleshooting

Thanks!!
Seriously give me an old truck plenty of room under the hood. THAT was a piece of work for a tstat. Thanks Scotty, here's my credit card.
Yup.
I can stand in my engine bay and use my legs for leverage in my 97 Dodge Ram
Yeah lucky he got his hands back without dialling 911...😄😃😂😁
Just get a 4 cylinder Tacoma
I'm sitting here wondering what the hell was going on in that engineer's mind when he signed off for putting the thermostat behind the starter.
I worked for a company where the design engineers had to rotate into a production engineer role when the design/product went into production. Serviceability & ease of manufacturing became a top priority.
The starter and thermostat lasted past the warranty.
toyota junk
I always thought since the designers/engineers did not have to do the work replacing parts they did not care. Similar Popular Example: Chinese knockoffs products sent to U.S. "can't see it from my house and can't hear you when you get ripped off"
It's a lexus they had to make it more difficult so the average Joe cant just fix or replace a part in 15 mins kinda like how some bmw motorcycles have oil filters hidden behind the case.
These practical fault finding/solution vids are my favourite. Gives you a real insight into how fiddly some of these jobs are as well as the role that good luck can play (coming across an obviously damaged part early in the inspection)
Thanks Scotty, I have a 06 Camry with the same engine so I know what to do when it eventually has that issue. So far so good with 204,000 miles.
I just noticed that the hose was put in backwards. The notch did not line up..... just my OCD. Good video though.
yep, I saw that too. If I saw that on my car I would be pissed - indicates lack of attention to detail.
But it makes no difference...
Does Not Matter
Well I guess I can wait another 10-Years to change my Lexus thermostat. Too much labor!
I love the random grunts 😂
New camera? Very nice video quality
@@Kamal_AL-Hinai I was on 4G, think scotty upgraded
(This video's) Proof you're still one of the good ones out there, Scotty!
Scotty why didn't the lean mixture throw a code from the oxygen sensors?
It was behind the map air senser!!
Because it was behind the map air sensor ,not in front of it!
Should seem like the downstream sensors should have been out of whack, fuel trims off...
Likely would have eventually set at least a pending code. It all depends on the last time codes were cleared and/or how long its been a problem. As long as the O2 sensors are working the way they should, and I'm willing to bet they are since its not coding, then he should have been able to watch fuel trims on his scan tool to get a good idea of what was missing very quickly.
Scotty: "the customer has a problem with this car" Translation: "My wife has a complaint that will help me make a good video."
I think his wife's Lexus has aftermarket headlights
That's not how wife's Lexus. You can tell by the headlights and the interior carpet.
Wow! All that work to get to a Thermostat? Scotty I'm glad there are folks like you that like nuts and bolts... I'm a Hammer kind a guy
Thanks Scotty- Good Teaching Skills.
It’s Scotty-o’clock
Idea whenever the need to censor comes up, dub over a revving engine!
Lexus does have a serious problem. Lexus and check engine lights go hand in hand like Santa Claus and a "LIT" up Christmas tree. BUY a 94 Celica!! Problem solved.
Man that's a lot of work I'd forget which screws go where.
Absolutely 😁
No surprise of how old it is though. Is that almost the same Lexus your wife has Mr. Kilmer?
Sorry Scotty, but you make everything look easier than it really is.
Lexus engineers didn’t do anybody a favor where they located the thermostat…❗️
What a place for the thermostat! You make it look easy, Scotty...the thermostat housings are not hard to crack when a thermostat is mounted vertically or buried. Love watching you diagnose a vehicle problem!
Who else was trying to guess before the end result? My money was on head gasket until he checked the antifreeze....
Did Scotty just cuss? First time I’ve heard that man cuss
I thought the SAME THING!!
@@33Skygazer He did, but he made it seem like the natural thing to say in that situation hahaha!
With that job's detail & Houston's humidity from hell, I would give Scotty much grace. I would have blown the car up after smashing it to hell with a sledge hammer.
Yet, that Lexus was a simple job when compared to the stupid "engine out" jobs for routine maintenance in Porsches, Ferraris, etc.
@@sleepyhollow783 And some VW's!
Steve Kilpatrick, Believe 231.
You said that he "made it sound" like cussing is the natural thing to do when repairs are not proceeding as planned. What are you talking about? Cussing IS the natural thing to do. You have to show it who is the boss. Sometimes, when you swear at it, it fixes itself.
Taking off the starter to get to the thermostat.....???? I hate newer cars. Points, plugs, filters, belts, timing, battery, water/anti-freeze, oil change and go, go, go.
Scotty how many 10 mm sockets do you think you have lost over the years?
How about per year.
It seems like 70% of the bolts on metric cars are M6s (M6 bolts of 10mm heads).
I am sure Scotty would rather work on cars from the 60's when you didn't have to take other components out to replace a simple thermostat.
1980 Chevy V8 Monza... disconnect engine mounts, lift engine to change back spark plugs.
Yep Ive heard thats what you had to do with those V8 Monzas. Not sure what GM was thinking putting a V8 into that small of a car
If I remember some people cut holes in the fender to get at the rear plugs. It was made for racing and practical wasn't a priority.
Love these mechanics videos. Reminds me of my dad working on his 81 VW Rabbit diesel. That thing ran to well over 500K miles and it was my first car too. Dad sold it still running in 98 when I was away in the military. Thinking about it my dad was a genius mechanic cause that car had some mad electrical gremlins. Dad even had to bypass the ignition switch and put in his contraction of push button start switch even before push button was the norm.
Excellent! I've off and on worked on cars for over 50 years, and it would have taken me a lot longer to figure this one out!
I love these videos! Gets the noggin joggin when things go wrong.. I would have taken a month to figure what you figure in an afternoon
Scotty: this Lexus has a problem
Also Scotty: *WAIT. THAT'S ILLEGAL*
😂😂
Been watching your videos for a while. Shopping for Lexus RX 350, do you recommend 2nd or 3rd generation for ease of repair. 2nd gen 2008-9 going for about $8K and 3rd gen 2010+ over $11K in San Diego ... the newer ones have that push button start and more tech
I was gonna go for Lexus also but that repair turned me off. If thermostat was that difficult its likely other things will be difficult due to poor design.
Ls430 with 180000 miles , planning to use it everyday and run around 240 miles a day .. what's your opinion in terms of mileage and reliability?
Hamza Jaffer i have the same car. Check the catalytic converters(2),coolant hoses, fuel injection, and the trans. The milage isnt super high but still high. I have 117k on my 2001
All depends on how it was taken care of! I have several customers with 5 to 7 hundred thousand miles on thier LS.
Its a reliable car but like scotty says the V8 will not last as long as the V6 his wife has. He did 1 or 2 vids on the car a while back
What Scotty would (most probably) say:
"OK, Lexus makes good cars. But I'm not a fan of those 4.3L engines. They turn into endless money pits as they age. The V6s are much better built. And realize, it has 180,000 miles, that's a LOT OF MILES (enter laughing horse meme). Get it if you want it as a weekend toy, don't expect to drive it daily. But don't pay much. "
Hamza Jaffer GET THE LS400, it’s way better built
"A lot of wigglin!" Ha, ha!
Damn you fools are Johnny on the spot with checking these videos
Who in the hell decided to stick a thermostat in that god awefull spot?
On my Toyota's I've had two failed thermostats, they both failed in the open position, so actually it was overcooling come fall/winter.
I have changed thermostats many times to japanese car's and they were always stuck in open position.
Maybe those parts are designed that way so engine doesn't overheat and possibly get damaged.
Use factory OEM?
That did not make sense. How come the unmetered air did not cause the too lean code?
Wow all that work just to replace a thermostat. That's why we pay the Scotty's of this world the big bucks to do all that.
Great video Scotty!
Yeah Scotty has done that kind of work a long time,and the way he edited the film,it you want to call it that,any way,THAT'S SOME HARD WORK WHEN YOU GET OUR AGE!!!!!!!
Why is it not giving a code?
If MAF is not getting any airflow then there should be a code right?
There is still air flowing through maf.
@@NisBussin bmw will trow a code for that. Maybe thats why toyotas are more " relialible". They simply dont trow cods.
@iKratosx10 well i know u dont know about cars. Toyotas dont make engine out of diamonds. All cars will blow if u drive when engine temp. Go to hight
@iKratosx10 i always put castrol in it. Fix oil leaks. All do it properly. So why dont u expect that? And. By the way. , at this moment i own a e46 325i cabrio. And on top of that i go very offten in germany to go over 200+ km/h.
@iKratosx10 and hopefully the oil and spark plugs!
Scotty needs an electric ratchet and a stubby impact wrench.
How much such a job could cost at a mechanic? (if i may ask)
Damn Scotty, you make it look effortless (and I know it is not).
Keep the work videos coming.
I love these kind of videos. The process of elimination works wonders.
I gotta say scotty your consistent I like that
I love me some old Scotty. the guy never disappoints....
You make it look so simple. I want to do jobs like this they are simple because of videos like yours. Thanks Scotty
From the Lexus Haynes Book.
Replace the thermostat in Three simple steps:
1) Remove engine
2) Remove and replace thermostat
3) Place engine back in.
Thank you for posting DIY ES content!!! 🙏🙏✅✅
You can test them just put them in boiling water
I wouldn't touch a Lexus they are to over rated in my opinion and they have alot of expenses to keep them on the road. RIP Lexus
New ones sure, old ones? Immensely reliable. I've had to replace the wheel bearings and hubs (pricey) but other than that ive had 25k pretty trouble free miles on my 2000 gs400. bought at 230 and its at 255k miles now. Try that with any other luxury brand lol. Plugs, oil, filters, just needs an evap canister and o2 sensor.
@@brendanbray6164 you are so right the older ones are top notch my friend :)
Money according to every reputable automobile source, and according to NUMBERS Toyota/Lexus are ranked #1 in reliability and #1 in resale value. Those FACTS prove you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. Facts and numbers aren’t a matter of opinion.
@YungGBone124127134 true but they cost a fortune at dealerships when stuff goes wrong.
3:40 only $16 for a new thermostat but... $800 on labor. ;-)

One of the few times Scotty forgot to edit out a cuss word 😂
Not really a cuss word ...
I would have said worse
@@markallison8108 same 😂😂 I'm sure he does as well
Oh no he's actually putting down a Toyota
Awesome job scotty!!! Love lexus vehicles. I have two Lexus vehicles. Only buy Toyota vehicles.
Ha HAAAAAA
I love when Scotty finds the problem. It makes me happy why he is so successful. He starts from the basic to the hardest.
Thats how the repair manuals diagnose as well! From the easiest fix to the hardest and most expensive last. Haynes manuals have saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars
