In this video we look at a 2004 Toyota Sienna that the Customer States that it has no heat and the check engine light is on.
We’ll first take you on a typical day of the automotive repair world of getting a car with a concern, diagnosing it and fixing it but then also verifying the repair.
The thermostat on the 3MZ engine is a DIY job to replace and so is the starter. This video serves as a guide for both.

I’m yet another who is heartened to see such skilled and caring work. Happy holidays to you and yours.
All these years and I didn't know about the jiggle valve orientation. Really appreciate how clean and organized you shop is..another great video!
I didn't want to bother Mr. Ahmed on his business email so I'll poke around in the comment section. Has anyone had a VVTI gear replaced on a 2.7L 1AR? I'm just curious what a reasonable quote for repair would be. My girl finally developed the death rattle on cold start up that makes me wince and grit my teeth every time.
I am really enjoying the improved camera angles showing what is actual being done. Thanks AMD!
Milwaukee makes a very nice 12v hood clamp led light.
Great video
@carcarenut Can you do a video on how to update maps and infotainment system on 2016 highlander. Dealers want $375 to update maps and radio etc…is it that hard to do??
You’re in Chicago, isn’t every car rusty? Fluid film once a year on a new car chassis would help.
Subscriber here from the Philippines. Have a 2008 Toyota Vios 1.5G and it keeps needing coolant but can't find any leaks. Overheats only on 50+ mile trips. Fan comes on after heating up. Appreciate any tips?
Well done sir!!
Wait…. doesn't this system need a bleeding procedure done. Or was that done off screen
