GOD, you are my favorite person at A1 Auto, this video will make a great training session for young Service Advisers, the way you duplicate the noises and the feeling of a customer complaint is amazing and very entertaining. Good job and well done.
Len, I'm teaching a very intelligent 11 year old some everyday life skills during Summer break and came upon your video. Loved your introduction and will use it but the rest is over both our heads and our goal isn't to fix the mechanical issue (unless is minor) but just diagnose it...just to know if needs to go to a shop or is something simple can do ourselves. So saying do you have a video that is just that ...diagnosing issues using the dashboard lights and the noises and signs something just needs regular maintenance...like fluids, gas, new battery, etc or should be taken to a mechanic like yourself. So enjoyed your comical delivery.
looooll. . ..seriously the sounds he made along with the face expressions in the beginning of the video, I have many times felt my ford explorer did the same sounds and the imaginations of the face expressions are spot on ....
Constantly noises - just focus in suspect areas then shooting them . Intermittently noises - too much time , scratching head or just wait for constantly noises coming . This video is very helpful. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Lol. I love how Len is always driving around with his hood up! I've been told about all of those noises at one time or another, but never with so much animation. I like the person who comes in and says "I have a thump-tha-thump-tha-thump noise as soon as I start driving and as I pick up speed it gets faster." When you go look at the car it has a flat tire obviously. Then you ask if they noticed that they had a low tire at any point? "Yes" they say, "but that's not why I'm here. Could you please fill it up while you have it in the garage though?" 😳
Regarding brake noise.. I was driving from Austin Tx, to Albuquerque, NM. I had a light trailer on board with ram brakes installed.. When i started hearing a hissing noise (on a 2003 highlander), I looked in the rear view mirror to see my back brakes on fire. Turns out that the the brake (I think it's called) equalizer valve had frozen, causing my rear discs to lock up and burn down to bare metal. Looking at the load, i wasn't over load, but darn close to full.. this can cause the rear brakes to lock up and burn down to metal. the fix was to pull the rear calipers and secure them till i was able to get to a service facility.. This was in 2006, but i'll never forget the cost and pain of getting everything fixed..
Wow this was awesome even for someone whos not planning to be a car engineer :D ... srsly I expected to be more views on this Vid, it deserves it! Nice job!!!
"Barking seal" noise from the engine is the most creative one I was ever told by a customer. They started the car it would ideal high then down really low and all while the belt would squeal and well all together it sounded like a damn barking seal. Never again have I heard that.
Lenny is a goof ball!! But I love y’all’s videos! I’ve got a 98 ZR2 and the videos about the front suspension that y’all do with the 4x4 S-10s helped me completely redo the front end!! Thank you and keep posting these awesome videos
Cat was stolen on driver side of my 01 mustang V6. I essentially placed (welded) pipe until I can afford replacement. No o2 sensors were attached, they are on the passenger. I'm getting check engine, after a week or so I start getting a check gas cap light. What is your opinion on what could be an issue?
Hi! I have a 2017 Kia Soul. I was wondering about the power steering. It seems like my car is making an odd whine noise when I turn. Mostly to the left, but just recently once or twice to the right. But not all the time, so I thought maybe it was power steering fluid, but i saw a video that said this car does not have any, so what do you think is wrong with it, possibly if there is no fluid, and how do I fix it? Whats weird is that at first, i 🥳hought it was something to do with a fan. Because when I heard it and turned off the air, the noise stopped. So I'm just really confused.
Vibrating whining buzzing sort of sound when accelerating around 2 rpm. 2020 Elantra 62k miles. It comes Out of nowhere makes sound then stops after pushing to a certain point
I recently had all four rotors and pads replaced on my 02013 CRV (87k). The front end was vibrating while braking (especially when approaching an exit on the highway). Now I feel vibration while driving at highway speeds which I didn’t feel before the recent brake work. Could this be related? Thank you for your informative videos.

My hyundai sonata hybrid 2013 clicking popping noise when I step on break or start accelerate, no is not cv joint axle or brakes calipers. I've changed all that but still making noise.
I can't find any films, where the knocking sound from the engine would appear at higher speeds. The car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I don't know if it has hydraulic tensioner. If someone has opinion about origin of the knocking sound at speeds (starts ~ @45 mi/h) and find time to share it, I would really appreciate it. I've heard that it can be fm/the some transmission problems, like low on fluid, or it can be engine tensioner belt. I hope on that, but afraid it might be smth more serious. Thank you for a great film.
Hello there , i got a Clunking sound from my Acadia 2007 front drive SLE type , coming from Rear Left side of the car , i changed the Rear Shocks but still the Clunking noise comes usually going over bumpy roads , i did check the Front Ball joints and they are Ok. But the noise comes from the Rear left nothing to do with the Front ball joints though ! The Sway bars are okay , these cars have also Spring coils in the rear plus the Shock absorbers . Thank you ...
Ive been getting a metal rattling when i crankk up and it stays. When revving it doesnt go away. Sounds like running a nail against a metal chain link fence, just started today before replacing an alternator.
Can you help me with the Corolla 2015. When I press the accelerator there is a sound like old truck coming from front right side . Only happns on Drive mode and acceleration. We checked the wheel bearing is perfect . The sound is comes from only front left side . The sound is just as the old truck’s acceleration.
I have a question when I put my 2012 Jeep Patriot Sport 2.0 in Drive and Slowly Accelerate the Gas Pedal I hear some sort of Ticking Sound that goes rapedliy while i Slowly Accelerate the Pedal. What would you think is causing this Sound and what would you recommand on fixing to solve this issue ??
That funny noise I hear coming from the trunk is a stow-away rat that's been living there for 4 days now and I haven't been able to remove him. I don't want him dead because his dead carcass will smell badly and I'll have to tear apart the inside panels and upholstery which I don't know how. I've tried peppermint tea bags which were offensive to him but the smell drove him forward and away from it. I leave my trunk open as much as I can, but it's time restricted. So, how does someone remove the carpeting/panels and replace them in case I have to physically have to chase him out?
What if your vehicle makes a ch noise and the vehicle stalls for a second. It only does it every once in a while, but has been doing it more recently (it’s an 86 Chevy).
I have a 1994 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder. It started running rough , power isn't bad going up hill , noticed a tear in the inlet hose to the top of the motor,. ( No check engine light on yet ),. I was going to try and duct tape the split part but it turns off I put the other section of the hose back on it tightened it down , but now the check engine light is on and it didn't improve anything, seems like it's getting worse , when you press the throttle it makes an odd noise. Any idea ? I have comment on other channels but no response, I can't afford to pay someone else to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I get it, these videos go back to 7 months ago others a year ago or more.
I have a 2011 Camry that only squeals when in reverse from the back brakes. I have tried running it in reverse (1/2 block) with the brakes applied to clear the brakes but nothing helps. Any suggestions.

I have a Honda SUV. It recently started making noise and it sounds like a moped. My check engine light goes on and off, it doesn’t make noise when it’s sitting just when I accelerate, what could it be?
I have a "eeeeeeeeeee" sound while stopped when car was hot for a while, very subtile can only hear it while outside the car or with window down in a very quiet place
I need help here. When I accelerate slowly I notice my car seem sluggish when moving with a boinling sound in the car engine section but when I accelerate fast, everything runs smoothly. This doesn happen often and it is worse when AC is on

Great video, thanks!
Nice video man, but I would like to see a video with no start and the many issues that can cause it and how to solve it
At :59 what would the diagnosis be for that? I think I missed in the video
Love this channel and A1 auto as opposed to rockauto has customer service with rock auto you’re on your own.

Hi. Is it true not to leave both cars running.. Both alternators can damage either car?

My hyundai sonata hybrid 2013 clicking popping noise when I step on break or start accelerate, no is not cv joint axle or brakes calipers. I've changed all that but still making noise.
Any ideas on why my car creaks when I accelerate? I having a feeling it’s because my shocks are bad but I’m not sure!
Funny but educational video. What causes electric side view mirrors to chatter when they are being adjusted?
It’s just where it pivots it’s dry and rubbing harder.
I can't find any films, where the knocking sound from the engine would appear at higher speeds. The car is 2003 Chevy Cavalier. I don't know if it has hydraulic tensioner.
