No HV faults were stored 0:50 Got to love an easy diagnosis 1:05 No point in even wearing it at that point 1:15 I mean they tried at least 1:30 Customer didn’t know it was this bad as it was on the inside of the tire 1:45 I have no idea how it got this hot and was still running for a bit 1:51 Customer states they need an alignment 1:57 When those jobs turn into 12 hours of labour to fix a tiny part 2:15 Those cotter pins really saved this customer and why they’re so important 2:38 What makes it even better is that the car barely drove too 3:19 Battery likely developed a short 3:36 Customer didn’t make any mentions of the horn in their car 3:44 High quality customer DIY work right there true professional 4:10 Yeah I think there might be more than just a little leak 5:08 Engine was already done for and the mechanic just sent it off 5:21 Not entirely sure but that next section would’ve caused electrical issues 5:34 When you need that extra bit of turning radius 5:40 In his defense they didn’t have an acetylene torch set up at this new shop 5:50 Now they’ll never cheap out on parts again 5:56 Customer tried to say that this was happening ever since they did his breaks 6:05 Is this how Bluetooth alternators work? 6:13 Probably saved the engine from overheating to be fair to the customer 6:27 Someone probably ugga duggad it instead of using a torque wrench 6:41 Other shops bad repair of this tire wasn’t even done correctly and it was still leaking 6:47 Smart way to save some money on those music platforms as an added bonus 7:06 Mechanic thought the EGR cooler was going to be even worse 7:16 Going to be a few extra things out of line even after getting this repaired I think 7:41 Another 100 miles later it was the same so unfortunately time to bring the engine out again 7:52 Mechanic noticed a slight squeaking noise and belt slipping and eventually found this 7:58 Not exactly sure why the customer thought these were good 8:11 They had done about 170,000 miles so I’d just replace them while they’re out even if they were good 8:25 I mean that’s a fair response 8:31 Hoping whoever did this from factory didn’t do it to all of the cars they worked on 8:50 Definitely got something hiding in there 9:10 These engines are usually super reliable but it definitely sounds top end to me 9:25 Customer hasn’t learned the stick a piece of tape over the lights trick 9:35 Yeah no patch is going to be able even get close to fixing that 9:43 Apparently a super common issue on these when they start getting up there in mileage 10:20 That alternator pulley is ready to fly off 10:26 That is one crusty and worn out idler arm right there 10:41 Apparently GM has a bulletin for this concern so hopefully they warranty it 11:07 Most owners probably don’t even know this button is there 11:17 Ouch I wonder if that porcelain did any damage or if it just went out the exhaust 11:52 Poor kid they unfortunately couldn’t afford an engine swap at the time either 12:08 Outro Credit to the following people who allowed us to add additional insight and commentary: https://www.tiktok.com/@auto_ss_eurotech https://www.tiktok.com/@jessejohnson1961 https://www.tiktok.com/@mastermechanicmatt https://www.tiktok.com/@nathanwind87 https://www.tiktok.com/@noeg123 https://www.tiktok.com/@thetoyotarob #customerstates #mechanicfail #mechanicproblems
