Thanks Michael 😊👍

😁👍

You're welcome. They have put it in a tricky place 😉

You're welcome Charles, you're right - all these Bronze, Silver and Gold services are nonsense for people who know something about car maintenance :)

This is something that some mechanics forget to do when they do full service.

Nightmare, my dad has Nissan X-Trail, left hand drive.. Also difficult.

That's insane.

You're welcome

This comment also helpfully, I have repair handbook and it's based of a right-hand drive car, mine is left so surprise again when I tear down the glowedepartment to get better view there is two ac lines that is in the way for the hatch...

Thanks Rob :)

Yea I’ll never be doing that again ! Good vid👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks David, glad if it helps 🍺😊👍

Good exercise though 😉

You're very welcome Katie 👍

Thanks :) Glad if it helps.

Cars are easy once you start DIY. You're welcome 👍

Thanks :) That thing is automatic, so no clutch change - sorry..

You're welcome :)

You're welcome 😎👍

He forgot to do it, but didn't forget to charge for it... So typical 😏

You're welcome :)

But, keep in mind - if you have automatic gearbox, gearbox oil has to be changed every 35.000 miles. I'll make a video about that as well at some point.

Same here! If I go buy a car that has no main stealer servicing and history/receipts of private servicing then all the better...I'd buy it. The dealers don't do what they say they do...they cut corners and don't care. I had my S Max in for a partial service (just oil and filters)...they over topped the oil by a good half again...plus they curbed the passenger front wheel resulting in a repair of wheel and new tyre. They fixed that but I've heard too many stories like this. They care about selling new...not looking after old! I can do a full service on my S Max for £130 using Mobil oil and decent parts. I know its done. Bit of time but lots of learning too.

I remember when I first bought my S Max, second hand, I said I’d keep up the Ford dealership service on it which I think was £250, left it with them, they rang me a couple of hours later to say the water pump was knackered and would cost £450 including labour + servicing @ £250 totalling £700, luckily they hadn’t started the service so I told them no to touch anything I’m taking the car as I had a gut feeling something wasn’t right here, I brought the car to my own mechanic who I’d used for years and he informed the pump itself was fine and just need a simple seal replacing, plus his servicing with bulbs and everything included was £120, big difference eh, so I too don’t care for dealership stamps, there a bunch of rip-off cowboys.

Thanks Bob! Glad if it helps :)

You're welcome 👍

Glad it helped

Yes, thanks. lots of people or even garages like to ignore pollen filter as part of the service.

You're welcome 👍

You'r e welcome :)

You're welcome 👍

You're very welcome 😷👍

You're welcome 👍

Knowledge is the power 😊👍

You're welcome 😎👍

You're welcome 👍

Sorry, that car has gone, and I don't know 😔

Thanks 😊 Glad if it helps. May the force be with you 🛸

Pretty much 😏👍

Thanks :)

Thanks 👍

You're welcome :)

It all depends how dusty is the region you live in. I would replace by 48.000 miles - it's not difficult or expensive.

Thanks :)

In Tesla you have to fight a final boss before you can change the cabin filter.

😁 I wish I could make a video on that one... Not my league unfortunately

You're very welcome 👍

It is possible, but economically not reasonable if you want it to be done properly. Because it's not only steering wheel and dash, it's pedals, brake lines, few bits under the bonnet... Better sell right and buy left-hand drive ready.

The best thing would be calling Ford dealership or specific part shop and explain what you are looking for. Alternatively, I know one website listing parts with part numbers, try this one, have a look in menu, they have Ford: www.lllparts.co.uk/en/

Do you know that PowerShift gearbox need service (oil and filter change)? Whan was the last time gearbox oil was changed?

I find it pretty easy to replace that filter with all wires still connected to fuse box. But if you need to disconnect it completely, I don't think there's much wrong with that - just a lot of hassle :)

No idea, sorry. Probably, could be something similar.

I have watched few times, I even watched the original file - I can confirm that new filter I inserted with the arrow pointing back, the correct way. Thanks for your comment 😊👍

Thanks Mr Michael 😉

@@wawayltd I replaced mine today following your video. Lucky there was previous ford pollen filter fitted correctly.

Depends how dirty is the filter. If dirty, then changing it makes huge difference - tonns of fresh air with little effort from blower motor

@@wawayltd well my s max has done 76000 miles and unsure when it was done, if ever!! So would you recommend doing so?

How many of those miles are yours? How is the air flow? If you had the car for a while and not sure when it was done - definitely go for it. They are not expensive. However, if you are getting decent air flow through your vents - might as well keep the old one :)

@@wawayltd Only recently bought it. I will have a look tomorrow air flow wise! Thanks bud

@@Jaaammmbbbooo You bought a car for however many thousands and you're skimping on 20quid. What's wrong with you? Looks like you're buying car you can't afford. You should always do a full service on any car you buy to be sure.

Yeah, these gearboxes can be sensitive and require regular servicing, oil change.

There's a special frying pan in hell for the designers of this 😁

Lettischer Filter in meinem Fall :-P

Obwohl Fahrer dieses Autos ist Litauisch ... Es ist nur ein Filter!

WheelsAndMotors i Know ... joke

😁

You're welcome 😉 As for harder - Nissan X-Trail T31, left hand drive is real fun for pollen filter, you have to make a butterfly before putting it in swerving around pedals..

😁👍 Every little helps

I do like my VW better, but some things on Ford are not too badly designed - fuel filter for example..

Yeah fuel filter does look fairly easy....doing that today I think...wish me luck - S Max 2.2 TDCI 2008..

Just don't pull it out by plastic hoses, because apparently they can snap (I had a comment on that). Try gently lift the edge with something like screwdriver.

@@wawayltd .shame they dont do a decent petrol engine,thats the only down side to a vw everything else is pretty dam good

00

Haha :))) , I agree it can be a bit of a struggle, but it wasn't that bad. In fact when I replaced that filter second time - I did it in about 10 minutes. Practice makes perfect ;)

Yeah, silly design. I had a lot of "fun" simply trying to replace an oil filter for the first time without special oil filter tool.

Thanks 😊👍
