Hey scotty...do another video on the 98 vw beetle.. Hilarious..😅
Why do old mechanics take tightening spark plugs so lightly. I have always been afraid to mess with spark plugs because they are easy to overtighten and if they are not tight enough then they can blow out. How do you know when it is just enough? Also my dad always used anti seize on them if the car has aluminum heads. Do you do this too scotty?

Preach…Amen
Scotty you are the only honest mechanic. There aren't any out here.
Nah, they’re out there. Just gotta look and ask around.
even when you go to a mechanic or shop with great ratings, they're still either trying to fleece you for unnecessary work or they never find anything wrong with it and still charge you for nothing
That’s why I do most mechanical work myself.... we have information at our finger tips
@@danefer08 unfortunately good tools to do the work cost lots of money, and finding time to do the work when you're working overtime every week to afford to survive in this economy makes doing the work yourself pretty difficult
Scotty, or somebody, should make a list of good mechanics. The "Scotty Kilmer Seal Of Approval" sort of thing.
"Take off the stupid beauty covers" never gets old. You're not wrong Scotty just gets in the way and some of the better cars of days past never had one.
as he breaks plastic pieces 🤭
Besides, I drive with my hood down. So the beauty covers are for whom? The spark plugs want bolt-on eyelashes?
Putting googly eyes on my cold air intake has been one of the car mods of all time.
Old engines looked more attractive. I guess it's cheaper to make a dull valve cover and cover it with it tacky plastic cover.
This is why older cars are cooler, the engine is just that, an engine, a hot piece of metal moving a hot piece of metal, nothing pretty about it, just pure efficiency.
I truly love it when Scotty says get yourself a manual transmission, it will hold up better than the automatic. Indeed it will go for ever.
Yep. But what about your clutch ???😃😃😃
@@prestonwhite5613 Damn, what a shame. if something goes wrong I MIGHT need to replace my clutch which is a fraction of the cost of a new auto trans. Use your brain, man.
Clutch can slip and replace it I remember my clutch was slipping so I had to replace it
@prestonwhite5613 if your clutch slips, you can replace it. If your torque converter goes out in your automatic, 9 out of 10 times you need a new transmission
@@prestonwhite5613cheaper than fixing an automatic transmission
I'd recommend avoiding O'Reilly for any electrical components. I had purchased a tuneup kit for my Dodge. Three two-way coils. Coils sit atop the plugs on the driver side. Wires go to the passenger side. Bad rubber on the coil side insulator allowed spark through and prevented firing in that cylinder. Destroyed the catalytic converter on that side.
Oh no. I just bought a AC fuse from them. It cost $50.00!
I'm not a mechanic, and I dont particularly search for your channel, but you just keep popping up on my feed. Your content is so entertaining to watch, and the way its like you're having an actual conversation with your audience just engages me. Keep it up man!
RIP beauty cover screw 0:43
I just noticed, Scotty is a real mechanic because he doesn't use power tools, especially on top of the engine, he probably has a feel for torque specs within only a percent or two.
Every time I go into any shop they drill everything on like crazy! 5x torque not even a power tool gets them off sometimes I need a breaker bar and a hammer
Do you think he found the bolt for the beauty cover?
@@williamalexander1743 I didn't notice that, but is a good question?
With spark plugs especially, you *can* use a torque wrench. But it’s best practice to use a normal ratchet and turn till it’s tight then give it a another 90 degree turn. Which is what Scotty did in this video.
@@bobborosso3665 No, it's best practice to use a torque wrench. It's "old mechanic who thinks he knows better than he actually does" to do it by feel.
My grandmother had a 1989 gran marquis slate blue with Crome and black half top built like a tank and owned it for 30 years and was still in show room cond

Fond memories on that car she had it from time I was 5 yrs til I was 27
Never a single problem
And amazing only had 120k miles when I was 27.
I can't sell a car knowing it has issues. I mean, engine wear is natural but when the bearings are so worn that you can actually hear them that much, i have to replace them first. It just doesn't sit well with me to sell it like this.
As a former mechanic myself (I became disabled) we do need more guys like you around, There's only one guy I trust to look after my cars for me, If I need work done on my Renault Grand Scenic he will do it and not look for more, it's not because he knows I know my stuff but because he's honest, Keep up the great work!
A Scenic (ptsd of checking fuses on my sister's Scenic), opening the hood of a Scenic is so depressing. You better beach that thing in a volcano rather than spending any money on it.
Do yourself a favor.
@@Orvect I know what you mean, I trained on both Megane's I had with electrics 🤣🤣
Former mechanic and you bought a Renault?😮
It’s hard to find honest good people like you that will tell you the truth,I wish you lived close by
Mine had the same symptom. Starts hard when the engine is cold, sputters etc. I thought my engine was burning oil. Had it checked by a mechanic, they said that it didn't. I changed the oil, spark plugs, filters and what not, still the same. Checked the vacuum lines, no problem. EGR no problem also. Replaced the fuel pump, same thing. What solved the problem was the computer scan. It showed that my camshaft position sensor was busted. Changed it and now it runs like a dream again
I could've saved a lot more if I had it scanned the first time.
Not only is he honest, but he takes the time to REALLY figure out problems ‼️Thank you for all your valuable information 🙏
yeah but i want a mechanic who will tell me how to fix my old car , not tell me to just junk it and get another one . thats like your doctor telling u that u should kill yourself because u got sick too many times last year .
@@marleonetti7Don’t give them (doctors ) any ideas!! 😂😂
When I was in college way back then I knew a guy who had a car that burned some oil, the rear main seal leaked, and it had a small radiator leak somewhere. He just checked the level of everything and added oil or coolant when he needed to and kept driving it. The engine and transmission were still good so he just lived with the leaks.
That guy must be African 😂😂
Leaking oil and burning oil are 2 totally different things..

White smoke can also be a sign of failing pcv valve. When you change head or rocket cover gasket, it should be good practice to change pcv valve and grommet.
I'm not a mechanic, but my dad is. I have some experience with cars, so when my wife's grandparents asked me to go check out a truck, I ended up smelling coolant as soon as the hood was opened. I also seen the coolant low, but both her grandfather and cousin said it was probably nothing. After driving around, they made up their minds and decided to buy the truck. I stayed back, popped the hood and looked all around. Found that the radiator was busted. The coolant looked new so I assumed it leaked a lot. Despite my warning, they bought the truck, and a few months later, it turns out the engine was warped before they bought it.
Why would they have you check out a car with them to just disregard your advice. LOL
@@Winner3ty I guess they just really liked the look of the truck. 😅
how did you know it was warped?
When I first started buying cars it was common practice to have a "Pit Boss" inspection done on a vehicle before buying it...nowadays it's rare to find anyone (even a mechanic) who knows what that means.
The problem with older Toyota cars is that you don't even know they're broken until it's too late. Some asshat drained all my oil once, I drove the car for a few weeks before I checked my oil and noticed it was completely empty. Fill it back up and it didn't leak so I just went about my day. It took over a month for that car to die from the damage it sustained. The thing is it ran fine until a cylinder blew.
I put my radiator fan on a switch on a 1990 Chevy Beretta I had. For some weird reason it just refused to work on its own. New thermostat, new fuse, everything I could think of. But it worked fine with wired straight in, so I just did that and installed a toggle switch on the dash. Turned it on while driving it and never had an issue. Cheap, easy fix for a really weird problem.
I had the coolant start to boil on me two years ago when I had the balancer switched out on my 09 Dodge Nitro. The shop I had taken it to didn't rebook the cooling fan. Nitro is still running happy for that.
I have a 2020 Chevy Trax - it has 31,000 miles and the oil for it's fifth oil change is sitting right here in front of me.
I took it to a local Valvoline last time.... $116 for an oil change! 😡 I just checked it and my oil has NEVER been that dark.
Lesson learned - I will keep up on my oil changes now 🙄
Heh, funny. In Finland that car would fail MOT (it's annual for cars over 4 yr old or something). Worn bearing is pretty much automatic fail - and if you fail MOT, you are not allowed to drive it, meaning we have to somewhat keep our cars in some sort of condition...
3 signs you car has a serious problem

THANK YOU SCOTTY FOR YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC.
I wish you are my mechanic... So hard to find one that is truly good but even harder to find one trustworthy... I am always afraid to let anyone work on my car. I took my car to the actual car dealership for a recall repair one time where to replace the part, they had to take off the front bumper. As a habit, I always check everything after I get my car back and I found that they didn't not even reinstall the front bumper correctly and this is the actual car dealership who works on nothing but that mainly that brand of cars..
I have a 1995 Saturn wagon 124,000 miles, burns oil, shifts into 2nd, 3rd hard, 26 average mpg, paid 1800$ late 2021 with 116,000 miles and the transmission was smooth as ice when I test drove it, 3 weeks later it’s shaking the floorboard, I’m happy it’s lasted this long and hoping to make it till 2024
26 average? jesus, the 01 coupe with the single cam I had still put out 35+ mpg about 4 years ago, shame I had to get rid of her, was a fun little gokart
@@CaptainRascowhat did you get next?
@@CaptainRasco the transmission hurts the mpg, most Saturns shift up at 2,000rpm but mine will not shift unless I’m 2,400rpm. Idk if burning oil effects gas milage but definitely not good
Mr Kilmer....you totally ROCK...WE NEED MORE MECHANICS LIKE YOU
I once had a Honda Civic that burned a good half a quart or so of oil a month. Had about 300K miles on it. Engine fired up first try every try no matter how hot or cold it was. Ran great. Never let me down. The only issue was the smoke screens left behind at stop lights in the summer lol. Not sure how many miles it ended up getting since I sold it (I regret selling it).
My favorite thing to do in this channel is hear the customer complaint and identifying the possible problems before he starts diag. Im at about a 90% success rate with the actual problem.
I just purchased myself an 08 Corolla and my heart sunk when it was diagnosed as an oil burner. I love mine so far. 98k miles with good service records. Hope i got a good one.
I had a coworker who bought one brand new in 2002. By 2004 it was leaving long blue smoke signals everywhere he went (then began rusting).
I remember this because a cousin who worked there had an imported from Germany VW with 400,000+ km and it had only recently begun smoking and the Corolla was something like 90,000km
I have seen this on repeat over the years
Corolla and blue smoke everywhere.
Almost never any from other Toyota models, just the Corolla
There were some dud Toyota engines due to faulty low tension rings from factory, Toyota released a revised ring kit to fix the problem but it requires tearing the engine down still
@@neiliewheeliebin no issues here. No oil burning, no smoke. Runs like a champ. Great car
Scotty, the thermostat opens to let the coolant flow OUT of the ENGINE into the radiator, NOT out of the RADIATOR.
It's funny how humans know they have a problem so they sell their problems for 3,000 to the next guy.
Another problem with the Toyota Corolla, is the yellowish/cloudy headlights. You should not ignore that because it makes it difficult to see at night as less light can shine through the lens. Also, in areas that require a safety inspection that could fail the inspection
Yellow means the car has jaundice.
@@phatgringo2.0 yup, when your car has jaundice it’s common practice to squeeze a few lemons in the oil and coolant to give your car the citrus vitamins it needs. It’s a very overlooked part of maintenance
No, it has cataracts..
Nah... safety inspections are overrated.
No good having 100% lights with 30% eyes.

i dont know, my mazda's auto trans went out and it was about $3,600 for a shop to replace before that i was looking at other cars that were from 8-12,000 and they all looked pretty rough or had some collisions when i checked carfax and some had more miles than my car. i just decided to fix my mazda3 because it was just cheaper than buying another car that really i could of also had issues with down the line, atleast i know whats wrong with my car. 10grand doesnt really get you that nice of a used vehicle anymore.
most likely issue if it runs different based on engine temp is intake air temperature sensor. your engine needs to know the air temperature for timing adjustments and fuel injector spray adjustments
Yep I bought a Toyota Camry 2013 standard edition with 200,000 miles on it from a private seller. After buying it and driving 50 miles, the check engine light came on and needs a new catalytic converter. And I paid way way too much for it about 6 months ago. But it was so pretty! 😍 Two mechanics told me that I shouldn't even worry about replacing the catalytic converter and just live with the check engine light on...? 🤷♀️
Yeah cats in all honesty are non essential . Its only for emission purposes (filtering what you emit into the atmosphere) you’re totally fine driving it like that forever. Just stick a piece of tape of the engine check light so it doesnt annoy you lol
I wish all mechanics was like you
So, in this video, the person is trying to diagnose and fix issues with a used car that they bought. They start by checking the spark plugs and the coolant, and then move on to inspecting the radiator and the cooling system. They also discuss the importance of checking the coolant level and the condition of the spark plugs before buying a used car.
The video then moves on to a case where the car's coolant is leaking, and they demonstrate how to replace the radiator. They also discuss the importance of having a mechanic check the car before buying it, as they can spot issues that the average person might miss.
Next, they talk about a car that overheats, and they use a pressure test to check the cooling system. They also discuss the possibility of a blown head gasket or a faulty thermostat. They then check the car's fans and condenser to see if they are working properly.
Finally, they discuss a car with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) issue, and they demonstrate how to use a scan tool and a tire pressure gauge to diagnose the problem. They also mention the high cost of fixing the TPMS issue, and they recommend using a tire pressure gauge instead of relying on the TPMS.
In summary, the video provides a step-by-step guide on how to diagnose and fix various issues with a used car, and it emphasizes the importance of having a mechanic check the car before buying it.
Scotty has a different perspective on what to expect from a $3k car these days.
I got a 04 camry high mileage on great condition for 2.7k back in 2018, there are definitely still reasonable sellers out there just hard to find sometimes
@@kibbles57242018 and 2023 car markets are like.. MASSIVELY different. Night and day.
For real. If it turns on its usually worth at least 5k or 6k. At 3k it's a steal if it turns over at all. We aren't in 2009 anymore.
Bought a dented 2007 Honda civic lx sedan with 170k mikes for 3.1k 😂 kinda feels like I got ripped off bc after a week or 2, the brakes were squeaky and the transmission felt kinda odd
@@Theunworthykidzyou bought a lemon
How do you take a used car to a mechanic to check out when you haven't bought it yet? If you're dealing with a stranger, why would they trust you with their car to take it some where to do who knows what to it unless they are willing to take the time to go with you? Any suggestions?
I don’t think there are too many sellers out there who would let a prospective buyer start dismantling the engine to get to a spark plug.
On a boxer engine maybe but most of the time it's right on top lolz no dismantling of engine
@@zacharypeery4082 Uh still, many parts have to be removed to get to the plug: engine cover, ignition coil, fuel rail (on some engines) have to be removed. Don’t think too many sellers would be ok with that.
It’s incredible you’d do that work with that coat on. You’re a genius at not getting yourself dirty.
Sometimes it's a sensor issue, the crank position sensor is the heart of the ignition system.
Am willing to pay for mechanic's advice if I could find 'A guy like you' that would truly go thru it like you do.
That was more insightful than 2 years at technical school LOL. Thanks my man!

Learnt more in the first five minutes about cars than any other channel!
Super-Clever idea to resolve these annoying dead battery-powered TPMSs that are always in Scotty's videos:
1. Put a bracket with a permanent magnet somewhere on the wheel struts: Put a coil inside the TPMS. Every time the wheel passes the magnet, it charges up a few micro-amps.
2. Might be able to do the same thing with some kind of "gryoscopic" or motion-based component inside the TPMS alone... like Rumble Packs inside game controllers, only in reverse.
I already own the patent
I think i'd rather not have them to be honest
@@honorablewiz7447that's not how that works lmao
i bought a used 2009 chevy cobalt and these videos are helping me take care of it
I found that with my previous car, the reason it didn't start very well was because it was made in Italy and I wanted to start it in -30 C. Turns out, the main problem was battery running out over the night, but I doubt the car would've liked being run so cold.
So I built a shed for it. In the shed, I installed an electric heater.
I'm not a car person but something about the way Scotty goes about explaining and working makes it all really interesting!
Scotty hates those darn beauty covers 😂
Like a German shepherd with a toy!!😂
They aren’t just there to look nice they help reduce the engine noise in the cabin and keeps dust, water and other crap from getting all over everything also provides insulation for the engine on many models they put special foam like coatings on it for that reason.
0:40 first time i heard scotty cuss 😂😂😂
Man, solid advice. I got involved with a Toyota Corolla owner who was burnin my oil, and I've been stuck with that car for nearly 20 years now.

@@jonnyjazzz so your wife has a skillet drained the oil cooks it to death then returns it back to the car and this car lasted 20 years...evil, just evil.
As an ASE certified technician, I can tell you that the first thing I would do is plug a scan tool in and read the numbers and check for error codes lol. I definitely would not start pulling the engine apart first thing lol. Come on Scotty. Why don't you teach these people the right way we do things it in the shop?
I am wondering now if Scotty had already used the scan tool and began diagnosis before recording this video.🤔🚗
Used to have a client with a Mercedes that burnt 1 quart per 20 miles, that was fun.
I would've been suspicious just seeing that it hasn't been through an inspection since 2019 😂. That's a Texas registration sticker for 2020
Thanks Scotty i have changed spark plugs on my diesel engine car and it runs great!
I started watching your show not that long ago. I really appreciate it. You are a wealth of information and you’re very entertaining. Thank you for everything!

If the body is in great shape, who cares if anything else is broken. I just bought nice cheap Neon R/T, perfect body, replaced everything back to front and rebuilt the engine and transmission. Only cost 2 grand in parts. So for 2500, I have a new car.

I pray that I can find a mechanic like Scotty, my loyalty to a trustworthy mechanic would be generational
Hey Scotty, I have that exact same car and the exact same problem. 2007 Toyota Corolla S with 261k miles and I have 2 check engine lights: PO420 & PO171. I’m only worried about PO171 because air is leaking in and making engine run lean and I can’t found out why! Any suggestions besides using a smoke machine? I don’t want to spend $200 if I’m only going to use it once. Also cold starts are very bad. Cranks for about 4 solid seconds before barely starting up.
Did you figure out what your P0420 is? I’ve had that code on my 2003 Corolla for 2 years lmao
Dude it’s your fuel injectors
You seem to have a drop-down issue with leaking injectors. Next time you cold start. Try starting in flood mode for like a second
@@HEENDOOOI have a gas cap code on mine. I you tubed it, they said change your gas cap. It reads that code, I believe when gas cap is bad. If not cap, the sensors
Here I am watching this video while owning 2 corollas. My 03 is a 🗑 but it runs. The idle is crap. The transmission shifts slow. The acceleration is that of a turtle 😂 but I have already put close to 100k and only paid $2500 for it. Only a work or throw away car for me. Hardly any maintenance and it still lives. I also have an 05 that's past 500k but I maintenanced that from the day I got it from the lot. But your right about people not even checking norm stuff. I was always taught to check fluids monthly especially on used cars. I have submitted my subscription sir!
Canadian fan here! Just bought myself a 2013 Honda Fit with with only 60k miles because of your love and good advices for the car 😉
I learned something new about the tire pressure sensors from this video I have a 2010 subaru forester and the low tire pressure light won't go off regardless of how much pressure the tires have I'm not going to worry about it and just check my tire pressure manually
Check your head gasket first and you might not want to change your radiator. Check for the white smoke out your exhaust pipe!
When I worked as an engineer with a couple of auto companies, finding and solving common warranty problems, I saw Chinese knock-off radiators palmed off as genuine radiators (obviously, replaced from front end crashes, and the panel beaters wanted to keep the cost down). To an untrained eye, they looked like the real deal, even having the correct supplier's name moulded into the header tanks, but were they good enough? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! They failed very quickly, and often the transmission oil coolers would crack, destroying the transmission and filling the engine full of ATF. They were an absolute mess! When the inlet spout broke off my radiator, I replaced the radiator with a genuine one. I had seen too many cheap and nasty knock-offs to risk buying cheap and nasty rubbish radiators!
i bought a 2002 accord and its nice! all it needs is a converter and o2 sensor, an oil change and ima get a tune up for it and alightment even tho it probably doesnt need it
There should be a standard “Used Car Checklist” offered at every garage. Would be super useful when people were trying to decide on buying a used car

I’ve been watching Scotty for years and i don’t think I’ve ever heard him cuss until now 😮
Love your videos. Could putting in a heavier gauge oil help the oil burning and engine start problems?
Scotty always says to always put in the oil rated for ur vehicle
No, there are small cavities that the oil travels thru to increase pressure in specific areas, like the crank and cam bearings. Flow rates can decrease to catastrophic levels of the oil is too thick. If the oil is too thin, the pump won't be able to move enough of the fluid because the tolerances in the pump are designed for a specific viscosity range. Basically, oil that is too thick will mimic the properties of a very dirty oil, which is what caused the damage in the first place.
Scotty is literally a legend , EVERYONE knows Scotty Kilmer and his love for his celica, a role model and Teacher for us unfortunately without one at home .
the black stuff on the end of the plug isnt always oil, could also be a soot from the air/fuel ratio being off or the plugs arent buring hot enough. the plugs in the video didnt seem to have burnt oil on them tho
Большое спасибо, я с детства сторонился двигателей внутреннего сгорания, теперь теория даётся мне тяжело, потому что я получаю какие-то разрозненные знания, а системы нету. Это видео помогает сформировать какую-то стройную систему восприятия двигателя.
лично я в детстве не просто сторонился двигателей внутренного сгорания я был просто в диком ахуе от двигателей внутренного сгорания
Oh yeah radiators are easy to replace usually lol except for in the case of my 2016 Dodge dart where I had to remove the entire front bumper along with some other crap just to get the radiator out there was absolutely no other way to do it
Hope you're doing well Scotty! 👌🏽🇨🇦
Just like 90% of cars today that have an
"emergency
brake"...and
have observed folks pulling up in parking lots on a less than level grade...the car rocks forward...IF the transmission part that holds the avg 4000lb
breaks....😮!!
