Me salvaste la vida! Me encantan tus videos
oh, that was epic
I saw the video link on facebook, where I also commented (Lele Lex Gimondo) just to annoying you a lil bit LOL
Mate, let me tell you: Thanks!!!!! There are so many details of the job here, that if I was Mr. Toyoda I would pay you, to make maintenance videos of Toyota's. Great video, super detailed and very easy to follow.
Ps: great timing 27hours. I was waiting the whole video to hear that, but, I was gonna say 50 or something there.
Great video mate respect
Paul, you are a living legend.
Excellent. Good job!
Very well explained on the TOYOTA Rave4. you are more than a professional. The best video on how to head gasket replacement out there for the RAV4. These car can for a long long time. I got a 1998 model with 350000 thousand miles in it and still starts every time when it’s below -25. I trust this more then my 2015 Highlander. You can’t go wrong Toyota period. Bless and you a great day everyday.
Excellent video — much thanks for this!
Nice work. But you can also use the plug wire to reach down and grip the spark plugs to remove it after you slackened it.
Hello mr paul greetings from Colombia
I have a 1995 Rav4 exactly the same, I can't find where my oxygen sensors are located, I have a very high fuel consumption problem and I need to check the sensors, but I can't find them.
Could you tell me where these sensors are located, or does this model definitely not have?
I dont own a Rav4, not even a 4 wheeled vehicle.
But still here I am, watching it fully.
I guess I need to buy a first gen Rav4 now…
great video brother and beautiful ravito as I call mine. you must be a mechanic by training.
Hello dear,
I have Rav 4 model 2002 I Wan to replace the engine and transmission with Toyota Camry engine and transmission how I can do it and what is your advice?
dude, are you a mechanic? like… how in the hell did you get this good at fixing stuff. I am checking out a 1999 Rav4 tomorrow with 165,000 miles in Southern California. Your repair videos make me so scared to buy it thought because I feel like so many things must be wrong with it. Anything I should look out for in particular? I've been watching your videos so, coolant and steering fluid leaks I'm going to look out for for sure. oh… and I'm going to ask when the timing belt was last replaced because I don't have the balls to do the job myself. I literally just learned how to do an oil change the other day… and a transmission fluid drain and refill, I'm 30 years old and envy your skills.
Excellent video, very well detailed on the work, great tips and clarifying, makes me feel all pumped up to work on my '97 and do to it much more, Thank you Paul !!!
Cuanto profesionalismo felicitaciones
I lo ve my chevy even more
Paul, you're brave.
Awesome video Paul first gen owners owe you a lot of gratitude! now if my baby acts up and decides to blow a head gasket I got a great reference! I'm stoked you decided to just do the head replacement but still deep down inside wish I got to see someone do the 3sGTE swap, still awesome video brother thanks for all the awesome first gen Rav4 content!
Fantastically informative and helpful videos. Thank you for taking the extra time in making these. Any chance on doing a clutch job in the future?
OMG! I am so I glad you came back to the Rav! Long live Paul! Love your videos!
Great video, what's up with all these colors? lol
I have RAV4 car 1996
