Rev up your engines!
Mr Grape says, Scotty what do you think about Mitsubishi are the new ones reliable and how
about the old ones, do you think the brand will ever make a comeback,
ok here's the thing, Mitsubishi always made somewhat cheaper cars, that was their thing,
they sold cars that cost less, now if you don't mind a standard transmission
they can last a long time, I've had customers get 200-300 thousand miles with the ones with
the standard transmissions, but they make terrible automatic transmissions
and they break all the time and they still do,
but if you want a cheaper car, and say you're going to buy a brand new car and you're the
type of guy that buy a new car every 5 or 6 years,
you go out and buy a Mitsubishi you probably won't have too many problems the first 5 or
6 years, go ahead and if you're going to buy another one, there's nothing wrong with doing
that, but if you're cheap like me, and you want
to buy a used car like I do and buy a 10-12 year old Toyota and then drive it for another
200-300 thousand miles you won't be happy with Mitsubishi,
Steve Bait says, I have a 2000 Toyota Sienna with over 200 thousand miles, the timing belt
has never been replaced should I replace the water pump and tensioner and seals,
well if you're planning on keeping it a really long time, yes that would be a good idea to
do, but at the same time, realize that is a non-interference engine, and if the timing
belt ever breaks, nothing is damaged, so if you want you can just wait and if it
breaks, tow it to a mechanic and have him fix it, it doesn't hurt anything, but if you
want to have trouble free driving, yes I would change the water pump and the seal and the
tensioner and the timing belt with that kind of mileage on it,
but if you don't care and you just drive it around town when it breaks you can just tow
it to your mechanic and have them do the job then,
it will not hurt anything, Eddy says, I'm working on a 1997 Dodge Ram
Van 2500 it has a belt tensioner that rattles when it's on, but it's solid when it's off,
do I need to replace it or tighten something up, replace the belt first, it could just
be a bad belt, when the belt is worn the tensioner will go to as far as it can go until it can't
tighten anymore and then it's going to rattle around,
it might just need a belt, now if the belt doesn't fix it and it still
rattles, get a new tensioner and get an OEM tensioner, don't go to a discount auto parts
store and buy the cheapest one you can buy because those things, a lot of time they rattle
even worse than the one you had so, don't go too cheap buying a tensioner if you need
one, Abraham says, Scotty my car has recently been
displaying the check engine light and the car would hesitate, based on this what do
you think it is, ok I' not the great car mechanic that can
forecast the future, check engine lights come on in your car if
means there's a trouble code set, there are over 2,000 different trouble codes
it could be, so the first thing you want to do is, go to
like Auto Zone if you don't have a scan tool, you can buy a scan tool for like $20 now a
days, but if you don't go to Auto Zone, they'll scan it, they'll give you a code, then you
go to my website, scottykilmer.com and to go the ask scotty section and give the code
and I can analyze the code for you, but I can't guess without having that code because
there's over 2,000 different ones and there's no saying what it is without that actual code,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
