The Ford FL-1A (and aftermarket equivalent) filters fit on the Jeep 4.0 oil filter adapter. It will fit both the straight and right angled adapters on the Grand Cherokee. Wrangler and Cherokee owners you should buy 1 and test fit it if you have the straight adapter.

I'll use an excellent custom fan controller made by Dela Current Control to permanently replace the mechanical fan clutch with an electric fan. This is the first video of two, focusing on engine cooling. The next video will focus on the air conditioning system.

Pretty much the title. Thought I would do a little bit of junk clean up and got curious to see if this would work, turns out it does! Pretty useless, but quite fun, might come in handy one day.

Completely unprepared, and on a road covered in ice, I decide (unwisely) to reach some trails. Unfortunately, the final boss of Canada: Large Snowbank, stood in my way. Although I was defeated, my spirit still stands strong.

I was testing out the spot lights I added to my Jeep (video coming soonish...), as well as my camera in low light conditions. The camera did not work very well, however the spot lights did! You see me turn them on and off a few times through the video. No me talking, just the sound of trees scraping against my Jeep.

Is that possible to change the display from °F to °C vice versa? Thanks for the video.
Bro this looks so fast and easy my car been in the shop for 4 days because of this problem
Thank you. I recently replaced my wiper gear and all was well. But have been noticing the wiper get stuck at low speeds, if i turn off wiper and reset it works again. Maybe the relay or maybe it just needs some grease. Will try this before replacing parts, thanks for the video!
How do I set the outside or inside temperature to the climate control panel?
you don't
Hey is there a way to reset the flaps, I believe some of mine are stuck and or malfunctioning
excellent video and really well done. i hope you still have this w202 car.
I still do! Thanks for watching.
what tail pipe and muffler did you use?
Hi Pat, Where did you get the injector for $350? Thanks!
Could you be a bit more specific on the wires you cut,you make a video explaining what to do but what you did already had been done
I'll keep that in mind for a future video.
Mercedes Benz E class 2021, Check engine light is ON, replaced injector 3 after checked up. I didn’t do programming for new injector, the check engine light still ON, so have I programming the new injector ? Or what should I do to Check Engine OFF ?
Mine won’t even go down how do I fix that
Because CD is still the best quality and sounds fantastic in a well built stereo system!
Sorry but this bullshit
no you
thanks for the tips man, great video
These actuators are available in the aftermarket, or you have to buy them from Mercedes ? Otherwise, nice video!
I don't know if it's worth buying new ones if they are just going to break again, because I plan to keep the car as long as possible (I have a 1994 C280).
@@andreilastar The OEM for these actuators is Behr, if you can find them from Behr on any auto parts store / website, you'll save a good amount of money. Those you can't find you can still get them from a dealership. The Behr ones were ~40$ CAD at the time, and the genuine MB ones were ~80$
Thanks for posting this. Super helpful. Looks like these lifters are NLA now.
Are both flex discs the same part? Or is the front one different from the rear one?
Unfortunately, they are not the same part.
Wby they doing videos withoit proper job like coding? All these people are crazy when they are shoving without coplete procedures... Poor mechanics
So if we omit the part where you utter insults without bothering to simply ask a question, here is why: There is a broad misconception that not coding your injectors will lead to an imminent catastrophe comparable to the extinction of the dinosaurs. I've set out to disprove this. Is it better to code your injectors? Absolutely, however, if for whatever reason you can't; let's say an injector failed in your home's garage and you need to replace it before even being able to code it, is it ok not to do so? The answer is yes, since I've posted this video I still haven't coded the injectors on this car, and guess what, it's still running just fine. So if you need to swap injectors, and can only have them coded afterwards, you should be comfortable in knowing that it's safe to do. You should also be happy about this outcome yourself, it means your car is maintainable without any specialized tools, which is an outcome we should all be striving towards.
Where did you get the weather stripping. I can seem to find anything
I have this tool, as part of a brake bleeding kit. It us a very handy tool, especially on older of vehicles like my OBS Ford trucks...
Isn't that new controller quite exposed to moisture? It doesn't look like it's made to be water resistant.
The controller is UL-94 potted, so yes, it is water resistant
i just put a full set of new injectors in my citroen relay and didn't code them runs like brand new.
Well made video. Cant wait to see part 2. Thanks for uploading.
Hello brother, cheers for the vid, i have a w638, im curious as to wether this could be my issue, i have no heat at all, comingninto winter here in aus, would be nice to feel my feet. Any ideas for me brother? Much appreciation
Nah man sorry, I've never worked on of those. My best advice is to crank the heater fully on with the engine warmed up, and put your hands on the heater hoses. If they're only warm, means something is blocking the coolant flow from reaching the heater core. You can try pulling the valve off and rigging up some longer hoses to reach the heater core without the valve in the way. If you then get heat, the valve is bad and stuck closed.
Thanks for the note. At least in the future, you can use one if the other is not available.
They both tend to cost pretty much the same (within a few pennies). Might as well slap the bigger one on there right?
Very informative, well explained video and feedback on Meyle product through actual long term personal experience. Had no idea universal joints could be rebuilt. If my memory serves me right, the balancer discs are several hundred bucks from Mercedes Stealers. I have had a C200 (S202) for over ten years and it's never let me down, starts first time and I've never changed the spark plugs lol, but I think the propshaft centre bearing rubber has gone as it knocks on the transmission tunnel occasionally under load at low speed. Still drives smooth and quiet with 168,000 miles, amazing cars. Thanks for uploading, 👍😎
Yeah you can delete the driveshaft harmonic balancer. It's pure Mercedes over engineering. There's nothing connected to the driveshaft that can give harmonic oscillations like the combustion events acting on the crankshaft do.
Am I right in staying you can use Bluetooth audio to play music?
yes you can!
The outside of the filter mean nothing about his capabilities of filtering. Subject has been debunk multiple times on YT.
Links? Channels names? Any proof for the claim that filter size does not improve filtering effectiveness or filter longevity?
@@kingnull2697 My dude it's not worth getting into internet arguments. Let him be.
@@PatsCarGarage Now he's just got me curious on what changes with different oil filter sizes.
@@kingnull2697 it's probably more to do with filter brand. A good brand filter will have a higher pleat count for more surface area (and possibly tighter woven filter media to catch smaller contaminants). Given the same pleat count, the additional height of the taller filter will allow for more capacity until the filter is clogged since you get more surface area from that extra capacity.
@@PatsCarGarage Awesome, thanks for the intuition!
You're the only person I've seen so far online that has had to modify the plastic frame. Are you sure that this is the only way this could be done?
on this car, this is what works best.

As a Floridaman, my 1998 GC has been in Florida my whole life. *NO RUST* 322k miles and the original suspension. Starting to make a lot of interesting noises. Need to rebuild the front and rear end
Lucky guy, up here in Canaderp, a car sees one winter and it's a heap.
thats how i repaired mines. exactly like you did. except for the hot glue. probably not a good idea in a enqine bay. i would use heat resistant silicone
I repaired loose injector connector pins with hot glue a decade ago, it's still working fine.
Hello @Pat's Car Garage - Thanks for the helpful video. Could you please offer a more detailed description of how to release the cover from the base? I created a small tool to stick into the two holes, but I don't know how the detent clips work, so I don't know what to manipulate... Thanks again!
The cover holds on to the base from the sides. You can remove it with your fingers, just push it downwards slightly and pull the cover outwards from the little holes. It helps a lot if the plastic is warm, you can leave your parked in the sun to warm it up.
@@PatsCarGarage Thanks! I think my 1992 300TE has a different monowiper in which I have to remove the wiper assembly. There are screws in the back of the base that must be removed first. Thanks again!
yeah you showing fingers turning instead of tools is not helpful at all.
same as you, typing out pointless, unhelpful comments instead of asking questions. Care to try again?
On European cars it's brown that is reliably used for ground just as black is in N.America.
Yeah this is true, it's just weird that of all the colors they could choose for the fan wire, they went for black and pink and didn't make it - and + respectively.
Maybe a wiring diagram, even if only hand-sketched?
I'll keep that in mind for part 2, It'll be nicer to have a full diagram including the AC connections.
Shitty video.
Do you know if the big cover piece will come off without screws on a W201? I saw another video where they said you need to remove the whole wiper system
my lovely w202 has just ground to a halt. really well looked after with 80000miles, hoping it's going to be a simple fix. temperature guage was normal. oil is spot on. no warning lights. a couple of plugs look fouled though.
Getting code 11c600 for the fuel rail voltage too low, also had 11c500 for voltage too high, changed out the sensor thinking its wiring loom, have you seen this issue before?
Good enough for the girls I go out with!
do gasoline fuel injector need coding ?
My personal opinion you need it like explain a little bit more cuz I didn't understand any of that or where the hell it was even located at
what part wasn't clear to you?
Great video, I'm glad you showed how to get the tailpipe over the trackbar, many videos did not, and on a past job, I was ready to go, then ended up carrying my tailpipe in the back compartment for two years, until the muffler fail off. So, now here I am, wondering where to bolt the hangers? Did you ever put in hangers? Do you still have the Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ)? Anybody?
Direct fit replacements should come with hangers installed already. You are meant to re-use the factory locations. You can also add hangers if you so wish, they make kits that bolt to the exhaust pipe with a clamp.
Bright idea! The final product looks very sleek clean. 100-way instrument panel connector. Dear god.
Yeah old cars are a mess of wiring courtesy of not having multiple computers connected in a network such as a CAN bus. The only thing simpler about modern cars is wiring. Old cars used analog/digital inputs and outs for all signalling. When you start having multiple systems this adds up very quickly!
when I put the intake camshaft on, it doesn't fit perfectly into the heads and touches the pushers... is it supposed to be like that?
yes that's normal
Very good information. Thanks a lot
Makes zero difference.
