This video is hilarious. Why did he not point out the front main seal leak in his video? hahaha

Can I add a bunch of other indicators that these cars are designed by junior engineers?

• The vacuum pump running off the frickin valve train with a TINY little hole for lubrication
• The PCV integrated into the darn valve cover
• The endless oil leaks, particularly at the oil cooler which doesnt have enough bolts to keep it tight to the block
• The aux water pump...sheesh
• The starter relay hardwired into the circuit board
• ...oh did I mention my bone stock engine grenaded itself at 147k miles?

 

Sounds like your next stop is the Honda dealer. Of course that frog N14 engine was a cripple out of the gate to begin with.

 

ummm....I just put a new engine in....Im stuck with her for the duration.

 

Scotty great .

 

I'm guessing you don't watch many of his videoes.

Next stop is the Toyota dealer .

 

Oh I didnt catch the part about Toyota. I watch some of his videos. He is hilarious.

You see how much crap he had in his garage???...wow. HOARDER.

 

Stiff upper lip and all that, old boy.

 

I don’t care for that guy or his philosophy on cars. He is always so frustrated. My car has needed very little in the past 144K. Outside of normal wear and tear: upper chain guide, crankshaft seal, PCV breather, two ignition coils, one spark plug, valve cover gasket, and a few exterior lights and a cup holder. I think that is not too bad.

 

You're very lucky. By now you should have needed all manner of oil seals and a new turbo.

Start saving some money for the inevitable...

 

And good old Scotty lists it as one of the ten worst motors sold in the US. Haaaaaa. I agree!
