Haha you're welcome

Thanks!

That's awesome! Too bad about the bad alternator, but it happens. It's rare, but happens.

I know, it's been absent for almost 2 years haha but I still have it and I still drive it every day. It gets ignored and pushed to its limits but it still keeps going haha

@@AutoFixYT And it doesn't give mechanical problems, so it doesn't show up!

Exactly, it's always reliable! And now that it finally had a problem I was able to film it.

Thank you!

Wow that's awesome! I'm glad the video helped!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad it was helpful!

@@AutoFixYT 👍😊

You are welcome!

That's a really good price actually considering the alternator alone is almost $100. So that's cheap. But of course you'd still save money doing it yourself.

@@AutoFixYT no just for labor

@@TheUndisputedTalk504 Oh ok. Still not too bad considering that's about an hour worth of labor.

@@AutoFixYT if you think that's a good price for labor for a job like this. I see why they charge such a high price.

@@AutoFixYT man good to know I see why these shops make so much money!!!!!! This is a over 100$ job 😂 I did it in 30 mins

I will try to get more videos done on this car this year. They are really good cars indeed!

Thanks!

Yup I've had this exhaust for 3 years almost. Other than the fact that it's not made perfectly and sags a little too low for my liking (which I can easily fix with some cuts and welds) I love it! I should probably make a video on the exhaust setup

@@AutoFixYT I know I sent you pictures of my exhaust pieces on instagram but I was thinking of at least doing a muffler delete for now

@@Jeremy_Hill_2020 Go for it, I had a muffler delete for a couple years, sounded pretty cool

Yeah it's a tricky one but hopefully you get it to line up!

Wow thanks for the suport!! And no, not that I know of. Maybe a junkyard near you has a wagon that has that cover?

If it bolts up properly and mounts securely like the original then don't worry abouy it.

Unfortunately I have no idea what that could be. The only hose with a metal fitting there is for the AC and it would take a lot of force to break one of those.

Very good idea! Never assume it's been properly refurbished.

Could be your AC compressor bearings, or your AC belt tensioner pulley, or even the belt itself could be too worn.

So for the cluster... I'm not sure. I think there could be a wire already included for the tach in the main cluster harness, but I have also heard that there isn't one and you have to add it in, which is not easy... but I think there is something there. The best way is to go to the junkyard and find a cluster that you want, buy it, and also take the connectors with as much of the harness as you can. Then compare to what you have and see if anything is missing. This won't be easy but I'm sure with enough patience you can figure it out. Do some digging online on forums too, that might help. As for the parts, I would suggest going to a junkyard for the parts that you need. Find a junkyard that has a Corolla that has what you need and take all the parts you want. Then swap them I to yours. Hope this helps!

The fuel gauge gets a signal from the fuel pump assembly, which has a little floater arm (just like the one in your toilet tank). The floater arm floats at the top of the fuel and at different levels it puts more or less resistance through the circuit. If your fuel gauge isn't working I would start at the sending unit (fuel pump assembly) and either replace it or test it. Take it out of the tank and measure the resistance across the wires from the floater. If it's 0 or some outrageous number, then you need a new one.

@@AutoFixYT Thank you for your answer!

You can rebuild it, but you have to know what you're doing. The bearings aren't on the pulley. They're on the shaft inside of the alternator. One on the front of the case and one all the way on the back of the shaft. So the entire alternator needs to be taken apart for it. And if you don't have the proper tools for it, you won't be able to do it. So you'll either have to pay someone to do it, or buy a new one. And paying someone will probably cost just as much, if not more, than a new one. However, whatni would do if you don't have the money for a new one is go to a junkyard, or call a local one, and see if they have what you need. Go buy one from the junkyard and most likely it'll be ok. If you are able to go there yourself to take it out of the car, spin it by hand. If it's not making noise, you're good to go!

Yes I believe they are, they're DNA Motoring headers

Yeah it is

Yes, as long as it's the 7A-FE engine. The celica also had an option for the bigger 5S-FE which is actually found in Camrys. So either way you have other options.

@@AutoFixYT thank you very much! Gunna run by a junk yard and start the search for a $20 alternator rather than $160

Pick-n-Pull sells a extended warranty that you can renew every year. Definitely worth the six or seven dollars! I only got it for one year, but the alternator is 3 years old still doing fine. Genuine Toyota, not some rebuilt Chinese piece of crap! I would much rather gamble on an original Toyota used then a one-year guaranteed aftermarket piece of crap. My original one crapped out at 270,000. Probably because my battery was garbage! LOL 😹 Yeah, I knew my battery was bad. So I can't blame Toyota!

Wasn't going to comment but I decided to do so anyway and share my opinion on what you said because I think you had some good points. Yes, an original Toyota one is always the best. You can actually still buy Denso ones. Not easy to find but they're still out there. Also, very expensive. The only downside with a junkyard one is because it's not new, you don't know it's history. You don't know how much life it has left in it. So yes it's cheaper but it might only last you a few tens of thousands of miles. Not hundreds of thousands. Regardless... AutoZone and Advance Auto have lifetime warranties on their parts. So if you buy their in house brand (yes I know it's a Chinese remanufactured one) they will replace it for free any any time if it fails. And to be fair the only thing they do on reman alternators is clean them up, put in new brushes, bearings, and maybe a couple other wearable items and that's it. So in the end they're not too too bad. But if you're going for maximum money saving, junkyard is always your best bet for sure.

Most likely blew the main fuse. Find it, check it, and hopefully a new fuse gets you going again. If not, it could have fried the computer.

@@AutoFixYT appreciate the reply

That is a typical power steering belt noise. If your belt is old, replace it and make sure you set the tension the belt properly. I have a video on how to replace all the belts on this car. Every accessory has a separate belt. Also, if your fluid is very old then you wanna replace that too and make sure you flush the system too. Hope this helps!

@@AutoFixYT I think I figured it out my alternator nut wasn’t on the whole way so it wasn’t tight I just got a nut for it and tighten it up fully now no more squeaking I don’t even have the bracket that holds the alternator my mechanic must of lost it i only have the nut

They're stock steelies

@@AutoFixYT they came alloy?

@@levi7.486 No they're steel wheels painted silver

Yes they are the same

Thank you!
