    nice. a mechanic is replacing these on our suburban today. It is hard to find a decent mechanic that can correctly diagnose suspension issues. There are a lot of really sloppy mechanics out there from what I am finding out. Even at new car dealerships, they can not be fully trusted sadly. The world is changing to where sloppiness and halfway work is acceptable. It is important to discuss expectations with salesmen because they don't always intend on delivering quality service to you.

    Just 2 constructive points...Why torque down a oil canister housing? Just snug it in..like a spin on oil filter...Why did you use used motor oil to lube the new O ring on the canister housing? New Synthetic Grease on O ring and threads before install..Please show everyone the details properly....

    I need this fix on my 07 911 Targa 4S. The question is, since my mechanics never keep in stock the Bosch starter, nor do they keep in stock the wiring, if I don't want to do the entire replacement and just do the wire, to then see whether my car also needs a new starter, how do I avoid wasting time and money?

    Fact is, once the cap flange touches the housing it's tight enough. The large o-ring is what seals the filter. When he says "bottom out" That's tight enough!

  • @fsfsci9156
    @fsfsci9156 Місяць тому

    For the 2011 Corolla, there is an inexpensive workaround. I bought a quality brand 1/4 in torque wrench. It generally "clicks when it's supposed to but I was so paranoid after cracking my first filter housing I arrived at a simple workaround that gives me the desired torque, without overtightening. I also do not require a torque wrench. First ... when removing the housing, as gently as possible, unscrew the housing. Do not yank, grab, jerk or wrestle the housing off. Gently, gently unscrew the cap until finger loose. Remove normally after that. When tightening, gently tighten the cap towards the housing (base) surface. Just before you've tightened it fully, ensure you can insert a 0.15mm feeler gauge between the cap and the base. If you have a snug (not tight) fit. You're good to go. But I repeat, gently, gently tighten the housing down to that gap. More and you risk cracking the housing a few months later when you change your filter. Generally that is when the caps crack. This has worked without issue for two full oil changes without leaking and the housing was easy to twist off without an initial jerk or tug to loosen. It just immediately began to twist out as soon as I put the faintest pressure on it. That's it. Guaranteed "decent" accuracy of torque without overtightening and without a torque wrench. Best of days to all.

    Yes, that would be bad for the wheel to come off. What size nuts? Does the wrench come with the car? What's the torque setting? Do you use anti seize? How about some detail a real mechanic would know and share. But, yes, you don't want the wheel to come off. Thanks.

    Just had this happen to me. On a DIY oil change, noticed the teeth on the cap was broken. Tried to remove and it was so tighten that it cracked on barely touching the opposite teeth end and oil went everywhere. Had to replace with a metal one. Took me just about all day. I’m a bit happy that I did the work myself because if they’d use an impact wrench again it would have been cracked and leaking at some point.

    @RodrigoSantos-jl3pc 2 місяці тому

    It's funny how the Porsche road cars are much weaker and sensitive to stupid stuff than their racing counterparts... I worked as race engineer in Porsche Carrera Cup Brazil and people always torqued the center lock nut with the car on the ground, with someone braking, because the car doesn't have a parking brake for obvious reasons... Also, their snow flaky ceramic discs make me think it's just a gimmick to sell the car at a higher price. The Porsche GT3 Cup car uses steel brakes, and they certainly produce far more heat, and have a hell lot more braking power than the street counterparts... I see absolutely no reason why they'd need a carbon composite brake that is super fragile when the racing version of the car uses steel brakes...

    Mine is the 2014 Cayenne S. got CEL on with no error code at all, but still I have to 'clear' DTE code to make the CEL light OFF. It happens every time I fuel gas, the CEL on and message says check the gas cap. I think my issue is exactly what you described with that vacuum line leak at the rear of intake manifold. I did a job to replace the coolant vent line before this CEL issue popped up, and I recall that vacuum line to that value makes install the intake manifold very difficult, and I tried multiple times to install manifold while keep the vacuum line connected. I thought I did a clean job, guess it's not , that explains why the CEL on issue right after I've done my DIY job.
