how about Tyler Hoover's voice "Weeeezerd!! I bought a 7 series Weeezard!!"
That's got to be a scary noise for the wizard.
Wizard: no get it out of here
Probably a mix of fear, feelings of embarrassment for Hoovie, and the prospect of hard but probably profitable work
@@markiangooley basically winning a lottery.
Wizard: Take that mess out of my shop! That's what Car Ninja is for!
The scariest sound of all is the sharp intake of breath from the mechanic when you ask how much will it cost.
And the sight of your mechanic looking at luxury watches and yachts online...
LooooL
My favorite was, do you have full coverage on this vehicle
That's why I'm my own mechanic
That's when you know you need to turn around, walk out of that shop and never return.
Honorable mention.
Torquing a bolt down hard, hearing a snap and the bolt gets looser
well, that's for the mechanics, not for the average driver to hear.
He said scary, not soul crushing
THAT is a terrifying sound
Done that but with a M52 bolt. Each 20 minutes job is just one broken bolt away from a 2 weeks ordeal
I love it when I go to tighten a screw but it never gets tighter, just goes round and round and round
A scary noise whenever working on a vehicle is dropping anything in the engine bay and not hearing it hit the floor
Hey, I finally found that 10 millimeter socket you dropped into my engine 2 years ago. It's in the cylinder now.
Literally had this happen yesterday with a 15mm nut off the shock assembly for an FJ Cruiser. I put in new Bilstein 5100s for the coilovers and the third fastener is in the back of the wheel well. When I got it loose I didn't stabilize it properly with the other hand and it dropped off the back and into the engine bay with a non-metallic "plop" meaning it either landed on some kind of boot or trapped dirt. I eventually found it though with some help. Someone flashed a light at just the right angle and happened to spot where it landed.
On BMWs there's a lever to the left of the steering wheel that makes a sound so scary the owners refuse to go near it
The optional turn signal package...
BMW engines make scary noise all the time.
*tick,tick,tick,tick,tick,tick*
*sound of BMW owners screaming in the distance*
They just burn through that blinker fluid
They don't want to see the Check Blinker Fluid lamp because the fluid apparently costs more than the car.
I am dressing as the Check Engine Light on a Porsche. Nothing scarier than that.
Bently..Aston Martin terrorists
😆
Let me introduce you to the mid 2000s BMW V8s and automatic transmissions.
You instantly feel light both lighter and light headed. The light feeling is your wallet giving up the ghost.
Bmw bearings even more scary
I’m an engineer and sadly very few women choose to join my profession.
When a female voice say “interference based engine”..... I teared up a bit. :)
Scariest sound i hear is the cash register at the auto parts store going cha-ching cha-ching everytime my car breaks down.
Repair it yourself and the noise looses it's harm.
@@JohnDoe-zr6bk if you meant to type loosens it's harm I'd agree with you, parts can still be hella expensive 😂
Still cheap compared to parts + labor
The scariest sound is when you ask your mechanic if this repair is going to cost a lot, and then he starts laughing.
Cop: are you drunk?
Me: naw just checking the wheel bearings.
do it in a empty parking lot you don't need much speed.
@@CotyRiddle yeah ik, it was a joke
@@smallengine i know but stupid people might take it literally.
@@CotyRiddle yeah 😂
It's very rare to find someone as genuine as you are on TH-cam. Keep up the awesome videos!!
That's why I subscribed 2 him, the best!
Lets not leave out Scotty Kilmer.
@@johna.4334 Definitely won't leave out Scotty 💪
@@johna.4334
Clickbait Scotty
That Acura’s rod knock scared me more than any haunted house.
Being a bmw fans, most scary one is..
"Ding" warning from the dash....💸
Stop, you're scaring the children
I thought the scariest noise a BMW driver could hear is the turn signal flash noise.
Most expensive***
@@AmericanStig-3 i saw a BMW driver with a turn signal on the other day. He wasn't even turning.
No the scariest is the mechanic saying here’s your bill.
I would have guessed Fart can muffler or Turbo whistle for the worst sounds a car makes. Honorable mention: under watt subwoofer distortion.
fart cans never sound good.
Those aren't problems just stupid crap they put on their car
I’m gonna watch this video and treat it like bingo.
Edit: I only got 2/10, I’m pleasantly surprised.
Damn, gonna call it now! Had em all, currently only a squeaky bush and a slightly noisey UJ
4 out of 10 brake noise... Audi... Timing belt snap.. Audi...$8,000 for a 1999 .. glad I did not pay for that ... Cam phasers... GMC Acadia.. power steering... GMC Acadia.... Luckily the power steering was just the radiator. Bursted...
Yeah, I got the other 8
When the car wizard is stumped on diagnosing a mechanical issue, he asks Mrs. Wizard for the proper diagnosis. Mrs. Wizard will not be taken by any crooked automotive repair shops, she knows her stuff.
I had a terrible whining in my car, checked everything I could think of..
Turns out it was the wife.
Oh shit
Lol
Yep that's women these days.
just replace it and all is good,,,
@@rfmonkey4942 😂😂
Just needs a good greasing, make sure you rub it in good.
I once described a noise to a mecanic as "when I let out the clutch it sounds like a washing machine full of bricks" tranny had grenaded at 8000km
AAAAYYYUPPPP I know that sound all too well. I described it as marbles in a coffee can, or when it really got bad on the way to the repair shop more like a couple bowling balls in an old style metal garbage can! That was also the sound of around $1600 leaving my bank account for a used transmission from a wrecked car with allegedly "only 32k miles" and all I know is from how worn the 2nd gear synchro was, it was either in a car driven by a person completely new to stickshifts or something more like a million miles! I guess careful shifting and occasional double-clutching was livable compared to the cost of a new transmission.....
Damn someone drove that trans hard
the 5.4 Triton 3 valve dilemma grows new legs and now has a gambling problem.... brilliant...
I think the car wizard should do some automotive Halloween scary poetry. A dark shop, a single light, a hood open, and the wizard trying to scare us!! OoooooooOOO!!!
scariest noise I've heard a car make was a simple "clunk".
A clunk then your oil light coming on is the worst.
I'm chasing clunks in my suspension right now. Not sure if it's a half shaft or a suspension issue.
@@porthose2002 suspension clunks are sway bar related 99.99% of the time.
@@getchasome6230 in my experience, after market shock absorbers two years after they were fitted.
@@MrDuncl yes, tie rod end links can also make a clunk sound. My point was almost everytime you hear one, its sway bar related tho
You forgot the sound made by a turbo failing, especially when it has not enough oil... it's a high pitch strong metallic sound of the propeller of the turbo going sideways against the metallic tube
Awesome idea for a Halloween video. Hands down best idea for us car guys. Cheers Wizard. Have a great Halloween! 😎🤙
Looking at your ”you tubes” from Sweden. I really do like your advises and I do want to say that Mrs. Wizard is the real star !
Keep on, do continue, let us amatuers get good advises...... even if we do not drive Labos, Ferrearis, Bentleys, RR’s etc.
My best wishes for the both of you.
You can also find a bad wheel bearing if the center of a wheel hub is warm, hot, or glowing red
"Was the pumpkin watching me the entire video?" LOL! Actually clicked back on parts of the video to see. It's moved at each different angle change. That's awesome!
VT247
Death wobble on a solid axle front end truck/jeep is pretty scary too. The shaking with the "clack, clack, clack" noise.
a very Loud Rod Knocking noise, on a Dark Rainy Deserted Highway, Passing a Graveyard, Just at Transylvania Parkway exit. And Oh, just past a Hitchhiker carrying a bloody human head. A second later you hear a very excruciating BANG from the Engine,. and roll to a stop.
....roll to a stop in front of Pleasantville Sanitarium.
18:00 I've heard this one so many times I immediately know what is happening. And it makes me cry every time.
Love when mrs wizard chimes in with more specific questions
The sound that really scares me is an engine throwing a rod
You know, RRRRRRRRRT RRRRR PRR PUF BOOM
That last one was very scary!
You left out #11, the sound I hear every time I start my Subaru in winter: piston slap!
The scariest sound I hear in my car is my wife telling me to stop driving in circles and use the GPS already.
Lol or in my case my friend
more like, when you hear your wife start your car
For me is when my wife tells me "Slow down your going too Fast"
Yeah, in my car it's my gf telling me "watch out!" when without fail there's nothing to actually watch out for. And vice versa. No bearing on reality at all.
@@ArKritz84 ok, so that's just not my wife? She flinches everytime we come within 20ft of something.
The best thing about your channel is that, you are a very talented mechanic. You try to make your channel as educational as possible, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.
Scariest noise for Wizard is after fixing a POS $500 Mazda the owner refusing to pay.
18:27 - actually gave me an adrenaline rush and goosebumps
I love when Mrs. Wizard chimes in.
Gambling sometimes is an addiction.
Some people can't help it.
Half-way between Phoenix and Tucson, Kerpow and the sound of the engine shedding shrapnel, then the engine sounding like an ancient International tractor. Thought I'd somehow lost the exhaust. Turned out the 3L Escape had launched a spark plug into the aether. Drove it home as a very loud 5-cyl.
The loud single death squeak when a motor seizes for lack of engine oil.
How about the sound of no sound at all? (Won't start completely dead)
Scariest sound? You ask mechanic how much and he says "Keep writing zeroes on the check until I tell you to stop.."
Very good video, Wizard. Always wondered about various engine sounds. This is a good reference video. It's a keeper. Thanks!
LOL where's all the candy gone,,,i ate it all 🙂,,Thanks for all the great content Mr Car Wizard, excellent work, please continue. Bless 😇
I think this is my favorite video you all have made. So useful. Thank you both!
Great video wizard! Thanks for all the info, very helpful.
Thank you, mr and mrs wizard. happy Halloween to you both.
Thank you for sharing
Kudos to you Wizard!
You are very pedagogical in your videos. It makes it easy to follow and learn. You seem like a very humble mechanic. I bet there is sometimes a lot of stress in the chop, but you seem to be able to carry that load.
Be safe and take care,
Best regards from Västerås, Sweden. 🇸🇪🙋🏼♂️
Brilliant video 👍 great information for everyone. Love it!
Great video wizard. Very educational, and thorough. Nice to Mrs wizard at the end. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
This was an amazing video! So useful! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Scariest sound i ever heard was "the brakes dont work" as we were doing 80mph down a motorway in a merc 190E , wheel bearing failed and the wheel ended up snapping off as we had no brakes or steering, about 3 miles of no control at all before it stopped
I've seen people running down the road before right before this happened. flames coming from the wheel or rear diff. Then the axle with the wheel slides out silently like you pulled a pin. Then the fun starts...
Also, rear brakes will always work - with the e-brake. Though you may just about pull a muscle in your arm trying to stop a car at speed with it by yanking on it, since you have to keep the button pressed in to use it manually like that.
No emergency brakes? for emergencies like the main brakes failing?
@@plektosgaming yeah didnt want to risk the handbrake as with no steering control as the wheel was wedged under the wing everytime it shifted the car went side to side across the lanes at its own will, so didnt use it as could of made the car lose traction even more,
Potentially putting a little pressure on the handbrake could make the front of the car lift or lighen the weight that was holding the wheel to the ground, the wheel could of been released and completely drop that front corner on the ground which could catch and flip the car, and it was 6 pm on a busy motorway
I just replaced the bearing on my car, this is extra scary for me
@@Veikra normally 2 circuits on car brakes so if one fails the other can still work, however like with us if the brake pipe has been ripped and repeatedly pumping the pedal drains all the brake fluid so no hydraulic pressure to operate them, handbrake should still work but some situations its more dangerous to use it rather then not,
Unless its a electric handbrake then it wont engage at all
This was definitely the scariest thing I saw all weekend! Great video, will definitely come back to this one (Hopefully for just friends cars, and not my own)
Great video. The fact that you had the actual sounds was very helpful.
Brilliant! Thanks!
“Minor to moderate repairs”.... like pulling the engine out of a Murcialago.
or trying to fix Turbo R for year
As Scotty would say, “Your old engine was used, so why not get another used engine to replace it?”
Another scary noise almost every driver has experienced, is a small child in the backseat who says "I feel sick".
Also, Wizard seems to be in a great mood in this video and that's awesome. I love a happy Wizard.
The scariest noise I ever heard was not actually all that bad to fix. I was driving my Hyundai in winter and floored it away from the lights (don't worry its an underpowered car to start with) and this terrible very loud multi-frequency noise started. Anyway, it was the AC clutch, has sheered the rubber drive part. When the AC was off the loose centre part rattled around creating the noise. When the AC was on it was quiet.
OK, that was great dude. Day off and up late and I find your channel. Good start into 2021...
this video should be one of the most helpful videos you've ever made, great job
Well done. Good tips given on cautions as well. Happy Halloween!
Can confirm that every Ford from 1990-2001 has a whining power steering pump. They don't seem to break or not work properly, they just all whine constantly. lol
A scary noise for me would be a rod knock from that ford 302 I rebuilt during the last year, I wasted so much energy on it and it's not mine. And A scary noise I herd is a tic/knock noise from a diesel truck I have that I started using starting fluid along with propane, yeah..., to wake it up from many years of being parked. I have work to do before I can use it, and it's a vt275, an engine derivated from the powerstroke 6.0! Mouhahahaaa!! Happy Halloween!
Awesome video Wizard, I replaced the Idler pully on a 5.7, that sound was identical
Thanks for sharing 👍
Yup on the ford power steering pumps - 86 Ford Taurus back in the day- power steering pump seized up. Drove it with manual steering for months (must have been a separate belt). My dad came out to help me change it one day - thanks dad.
ASMR is cool.. Whenever I hear Wizard and Mrs. wizard talking, I think of Kermit the frog and Miss Piggy!!
That last one is the reason I won't own a car with an interference based engine which is getting hard to do. I do wish people would quit buying cars with those engines so manufactures will stop making them. Come to think of it, I'm not buying CVT or Dual clutch transmissions either. I've got a growing list of cars not to buy because of long term mechanical issues. It's like they are making these cars to fail. If I buy a car I should do so with the confidence that at some point in time I can reasonable repair it without the fear that something simple can total the entire car out. Perhaps I will switch to all electric or maybe even go classic to the point I can just fix it myself.
Very helpful and useful info. Thanks Wizard & Wife
The scariest sound when you hear the price to fix it. Lol
Lol
Yea that sound can give you a heart attack
Worst car noise I ever heard was my 1973 VW Thing suddenly blowing a cylinder right out of the side of the motor. Inspecting the engine, I found pieces of cylinder head and cylinder wall cluttering the engine skid guard. I was only a few blocks from a VW repair shop (this was around 1988 when such places were common), so I risked driving the Thing to the place (amazingly she started up and drove). The noise from backfires and the cylinder arm slapping in the remains of the motor were horrendous and the smoke was comically thick. I drove in to the repair garage with the mechanic looking to see what the racket was from. "I think there's something wrong with my car."
MR. and Mrs. Wizard are great.. Love the videos!
I had a 99 ford escort zx2, before it died. It made both of the 2 scariest noises. You explained perfectly how that car died at 70k on the motor. The shop I was taking it to were patching problems instead of fixing them entirely. It's a shame, I really liked that car when it ran well. It had the ford 2.0 ztech, just for reference. That was only 4 years ago.... Damn shame.
Thanks. This was another brilliant idea for a video.
Love your channel Car Wizard!
I'll add a couple from my own experience. Failed center bearing on a Audi Quattro AWD rear drive shaft. Sounds like a machine gun under acceleration. Needs to be addressed, but not nearly as scary as it sounds.
Second, and most scary. Brake dust shield rubbing on the inside of a brake disc. Absolutely terrifying, but largely innocuous.
Honorable mention goes to the braking system vacuum line fed off of engine vacuum on an Audi 2.0t that sounds like a rod knock when the rubber hardens.
Great video!
This was exactly what I was looking for. Found my issue and fixed it. Bad wheel bearing. Thank you sir great job and I subscribed.
An EXCELLENT video Wizard!
My 1993 Ford Mondeo (Contour) makes the classic Ford PAS pump noise like that!
The scariest ticking from a Toyota usually means seafoam haha (07 avalon)
yeah... or blown piston rings on a 2.4 liter engine
@@melvingibson4525 or the vvt-i cam chain stretch
Or just change the oil more often and never hear engine noise in the first place.
@@Dcc357 ya that's true don't get why people treat engines so bad
Mrs. Wizard is a gem.
youre the best, i love all the dorky content no shame! you the wiiiiizard
Power steering wines on my 98 Ford contour 🤣😂😂
A brand new OEM power steering belt on the Toyota 1MZ V6 has to be adjusted super tight or it will squeak when cold. Has to be tighter than what I'm comfortable with for any belt.
Kick ass video Wizard!
Thanks for a great episode! I just recently subscribed to your channel and always leave smarter. I could have added one : the sound of an amateur dropping a pcv valve into the engine compartment and trying to fish it out with a mirror and a magnet - adult language warning !
I know this sounds crazy but I had a jacked up Chevy truck come in making the wheel bearing noise one day. I put it on the lift and the second it left the ground the wheel fell completely off of the vehicle. The only thing that was holding the wheel bearing together was the weight of the vehicle on the bearing. I asked the guy how long he had been driving it like that and he said oh about six months. And this guy was on the road with the rest of us. Terrifying.
My "88 Turbo Coupe's power steering pump whined for 260 thousand miles. Thank you Mr and Mrs. Wizard! I understand you dont need to make these videos but I am glad you take the time to produce them.
Had a 2000 Ford Explorer come in with what sounded like the worst every power steering pump. Ended up being a bad idler pulley bearing. Sounded JUST like a bad pump
Cool list. I didn't know about the Ford 5.4 3 valve.
Great video Mr. and Mrs Wizard
This noise is really scarry... Then Mrs Weeezard speaks...too funny.
Excellent Thanks
Really enjoy your youtube channel. Happy Halloween / Daniel from Sweden
Couldn’t stick around for the whole thing, but it the “Wizard” is and what he says is right on the money. You should make up a real course on this Wiz, about 10 minutes devoted to each sound and the expected origin and circumstances.
Nothing quite like losing a front wheel on a BIG overloaded box truck going down Ranger Hill (Near Weatherford, TX) at 70 mph. The “Pucker factor” can scale up to the range of a night carrier landing.
Keep on making these YT Vids Wiz-you’ve reached the level of the best public service advisories!
🇺🇸🚗💻🔧💡=Genius=Wiz!
Thank you Carwizard for the tips and hints.
Hey wizard, could you please do full on tutorials on you're grand marquis? I have a 85 and while i have a mechanic i trust who fixes things with a discount, i would greatly appreciate it if you could show the whole process of working on it when you need to. I can't find videos for my model year, but i can find how to videos for any over body style of grand marquis. Also i love you're yacht. I hope one day i can have one like that but with slightly more room and an weather tight enclosure for piloting the boat. Because it doesn't always rain in Arizona, but it would be my luck to be on the lake and it pours when i need to dock. lol
Wizard I love your videos, what model is the flashlight that you use and where can I purchase one? Thank you
