Speaker 1 (00:00):
Play with Dan Ray Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We had full lines through the news and one person
dropped off. If you were that person and you dropped off,
call back and if you can refill the line up,
we'll put you in priority. Let's Scott and Larry, the
w busy car guys are here. We have it a
little bit of fun, but we're also learning a lot.
I'm learning a lot. I've learned about but I've learned about, uh,
(00:29):
the headlight cleaners. I've learned about mouse block. Let's keep
rolling here. I want to get as many people in
as possible. Let me go next too. Irene is in Raintree. Irene,
you are up next to on nightside.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Did you say Braintree?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, yes, that's what it says to my screen? Where
are you? Actually? Did Rob mishear you?
Speaker 6 (00:53):
No?
Speaker 5 (00:53):
No, no, it is Braintree, but it sounded different. You
have a call, do you?
Speaker 7 (00:56):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I have a pretty bad cold. So I what
did it sound like?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:01):
It is? That is?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
How like Raintree? I don't know?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
No, no, I.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I want to be sure we're good.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're good.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Take good, Larry and Scott. Thanks for taking the car.
My husband bought a rare for twenty twenty five in
August of this year. It's a full wheel drive and
it's an x L E whatever that is. And anyhow,
they give you a complimentary oil change and tire rotation.
(01:30):
But he hasn't gone many miles, and I was wondering
should I go ahead and do that or no?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Well, yes, so I would.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm sorry, okay, no, no, I was just gonna say so.
I always say, if if you if you haven't hit
your mileage mark, least bring in the car once a year. Uh,
get your get your free oil change do you have
coming to you?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And well a lot of.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
People don't realize a lot of times those free oil
changes and tire rotations and things that dealerships offer when
they sell you a vehicle, they do have an expiration date.
So please look into that. I hate to see you
miss that.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
You're really right, it's probably all right. Okay, I skipped that.
So I have another question. I got that silicone spray,
you know, supposed to protect your paint on the vehicle.
Was that a worthwhile thing or no? It's some kind
of a spray.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
They called, I'm sorry talking about you had a professionally
done called fluid.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Film you're going in and out.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Okay, I think I think she's suggesting that you bought
a silicone spray.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Probably do it yourself.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
No, no, no, no, wrong.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
At the dealership, the Toyota dealership in Braintree, they they
sell to you when you buy the car. You don't
have to buy it. It's optional. But it's some kind
of a have you heard of it? It's some kind
of a spray that goes over the vehicle to save
the paint. So do you want to see what I'm
saying enough.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
To go over the page or over the underside of
the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
No, not, the underside has to paint to paint itself.
It's some kind of a I don't know, like a spray.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
What what did I read? What did you pay for
that treatment?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Good question? I don't remember now, but I but I
know my my nephew had done not by the Toyota dealer,
but he had done by a supper party.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, here's the thing. We want to put your mind
at rest.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, if we tell you you didn't tell us so
much you paid for it, so therefore copy that important.
I think it was probably one of the most brilliant
things you've done this century, So rest is your that's.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Going to help your car?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Look?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think so too brand new.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Don't you feel better now a little bit?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And what's your opinion? Fellas on our route for.
Speaker 9 (03:56):
Wonderful v.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Great wrap vehicle.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We're all we're all there, all three of us are
with you, Irene. We're with you on the wrap flour
and we're definitely with you on the silicon spray.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Oh okay, all right, guys, thanks for your time.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Absolutely, you've got a great car. You got a great
car for the price.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
All right, have a great night. I think we did
the right thing.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I think that is going I think that that car
that she bought, that Rat four is going to give
her close to four hundred thousand miles. I would almost
bet on it. They make such a great product nice
And what she had is she had a paint paint
protection film put on silicone, maybe ceramic, most likely a
(04:48):
spray on if it wasn't six hundred dollars. It's a
temporary thing that they spray on. I'm not a bad
idea when you go when you look at the old
raw price in the car, it's the small pittance. But
anything you can do to protect the car's finish is
only going to enhance the reshell.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Value absolutely, But bet it is a great car for.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Let's go next to there. That's the wonderful car.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Robin fair Haven down in the South car Rob, welcome.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
How are you guys doing? First time car? I always
listen to your car show there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Gotta give you a round of applause as a first
time caller.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, go right ahead. You're all with Scott and Larry and.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
Then the other guy there, uh he called up he
had problems with mechanics or I had one where I
drove the car in and had to have it towed
back out. My father told me to get it out
of there because they were coming up with all cars.
I drove the car in and then had to drive
the car had it toad out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well that's gonna make Jay in Mainfield a lot better,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
I just want I want to let you guys know
the headlights. The headlight Kleino, if you got yellow headlights
or whatever everyone had in their home, it works great. Toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You rub paste it right.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
And it looks brand new when you take it off.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Really, now that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It does damn toothpaistney has some kind of abrasive in it. Yeah,
so you can use that and as well. I mean
it does work, but you know what, you use four
or five tubes of toothpaste, it's going to add up
to the same thing. And when you use a toothpaste,
(06:31):
it doesn't come with it with a sealer. It's imperative
that you put a ceiling coat on it afterwards. So
cleaning it is fine, but if you don't put a
sealer on it afterwards, it's going to turn back to
yellow really quick. So I think that the kit which
that the kid Scott was talking about, I believe it's
(06:51):
the loads of Home Depot. It's like nineteen dollars and change.
It's not a lot of money and it does work great.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
Is that the one that's called wall two but two
tases two?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, No, I got you on that? Is that is
that I wrote this down earlier?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Was that the thing that was called call zero that
we talked about with Jack from Watertown?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
What was the name of that? The company.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Which which one is the.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Headlights?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Headlights?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
Sarah con is a big name for him.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Rainex is another company that makes some sylvania the headlight
company they make them as well. I mean there's plenty
of plenty of known name and you know, no not
necessarily big name companies out there.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And if you put in headlight cleaner, it'll take you
on Amazon to a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Variety of options. I'm sure.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I have one.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The right ahead, Rob, Time for your question, the redhead.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
When you have when you have an engine that's it's
electric and gas, when when should you change oil on that?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
You're talking about a regular hybrid vehicle, we do, right,
just like you know, just like a regular five thousand mile,
regular five thousand miles, No, depending you're fudge it off
of how regular five thousand miles. It's kind of hard
to judge when you're using a hybrid how much of
it is gas versus electric. But the average hybrid I know,
(08:22):
well you know what, let me. I can only speak
to the product that we sell. I know our hybrids
get about twenty six to thirty two miles before they're
straight back to gasoline, so you know, somewhere in the
five to six thousand mile range I would recommend.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Now, how would you know when you're using the hybrid, Like,
how do you you know and the mile that you're
getting on it.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Well, you generally have a gauge on your dashboard that
says how many how many miles you're getting?
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Well, switch switches back and forth, but I can't tell
correct when I'm using das or when I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Using electrics make make a decent essence.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
So I can only I can always speak to the
hybrids that I work with currently, and I know that
our show what the batteries LEL level is out when
it starts, and it'll tell me the mileage as we
continue to go down and then you'll hear it switch
straight over to gasoline. What kind of vehicle were specifically
talking about here?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
We're talking about a Ford, a carline.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Van and a carnoline ban A hybrid?
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Yes, what year? What year is it? The twenty twenty two?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
All right, a twenty two hybrid e econoline? And you
want to know how much how often oil on that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What do you see Scott's looking at Scott is looking
it up for you right now, rob right, just hold on.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Scott's gonna look it up for you right now.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Okay, okay, to tell how to tell when you're an
electric when when you're an electric pursus engine. All right,
let's let's do some dig in the air. All right,
so you should get approximately Now I want you to
(10:23):
want to give him a little loud you can take
him a little bit yarp and you want.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
To chuck it out.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Okay, So you can certainly break it down as to
how many hours on the battery and how many hours
on the engine. The general consensus from the Society of
Automotive Engineers in this country says, change your oil every
five every five thousand miles. Now you can quibble, well,
(10:49):
I could have gotten ten miles more, or right, I
could have gotten one hundred miles more. But oil change
is cheap insurance. So that's what the Society of Automotive
Engineers is saying. Five thousand miles. Can you stretch it
from seven to ten? Yeah? What does your owner's manual say?
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Well, I didn't have I didn't have one.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You know that you can get an owner's manual, right,
they are readily available.
Speaker 11 (11:20):
Or.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You could absolutely check it online too, which is what
Scott is doing for you for you now. But the
general consensus is five five thousand miles.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Right, He's saying that the battery from fully shots to
when the battery's empty is roughly anywhere from ninety to
one hundred and twenty miles.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
Oh okay, so.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
At that point when you run out of electricity, right
then you're back to gas.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Okay, so I would have to chase the battery. Also,
how often do you have to change it? Bad be
if you've got a hybrid vehicle, well, it gets.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It gets recharged.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Yeah, correct, there is no there is no specific light hybrid.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Bat and I know that, Rob.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
How many right, we're speaking strictly about how many miles?
So for every every five thousand miles, okay, you figure
about uh probably ten about ten percent of that is
going to be electric.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Okay, all right, follow in listening to you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
All right, thanks Rob, appreciate you. Take good time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Gotta take quick break, Thanks Rob. A couple of folks
dropped off, So we now have some open lines. Six one, seven, two, five,
four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
We're coming back with Toy in New Hampshire, Bober in Buffalo,
and I got some room for you. Six one, seven, two,
five four ten thirty six one seven nine three one
ten thirty. You get in right now we'll take care
(12:59):
of you before the end of the hour. I guarantee it.
Back on night Side right after this very quick break.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's Night Side with on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, let's get right back to the calls as promised.
Troy in New Hampshire. Troy, you next on nice side
with a BZ car. Guys, go ahead, Troy.
Speaker 11 (13:19):
Good evening, gentlemen, nice to talk to you. Thanks for
all the information. And just a precursor, my wife's had
four raft fours. They're great.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Yeah, oh yeah, three doors before you know, we're we're
both both Dad and I have very big proponents foot
to yo and Dad still drives a Sequoia. I've had
plenty of them. They're they're absolutely wonderful vehicles. So yeah,
definitely big tumble.
Speaker 11 (13:44):
I'm driving right now. And that's one of my questions about.
I had somebody cut me off the other day and
I had a gem on the brake, so I warped
the front roaders. Is there any place I can I
five roaders that are good steal that aren't going to warp?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
How the hell fast were going? Whoa, whoa, whoa? How
fast were you going?
Speaker 11 (14:05):
It was on the Highway. I was doing sixty miles
an hour and somebody cuts in front of you. But
as soon as you gem on the break, you overheat
those rotors and they're going to warp on you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I did not know that.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Yes, yes, wow, so yeah breaks the whole steering wheel shakes.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
O oh yeah, there's nothing there's there's nothing worse than
than having what break road is.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
I will tell you that.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
The majority, the majority of brake roaders that are sold
in the aftermarket, uh, the majority of them are made
with Chinese steel, which is recycled steel. So you're not
going to get a high quality. There are some great
companies out there that make them, but nowadays, if you remember,
(14:53):
back in the day rotors, we would turn them and
we would get at least two or three break jobs
before you need a break roaders. And nowadays it's always
pass and roads every time because they just don't maybe
garbage stale exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think they call that obsolescence. If I'm not mistaken,
that's the techniquead.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Just like my exactly right, that's exactly right. So if
I was going to buy break roads and I wanted
the best quality, I would personally go back to oh em,
I would get the ones right right from from Toyota Da.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Really Yeah, but it's I mean, it's a Japanese company,
so they're probably using the same steel.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Well, but but Japanese and Chinese is not necessarily the same.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
How many?
Speaker 8 (15:47):
How many?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
How many cars? Wait?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Hold on if if if toyotas made, it's a Japanese car, correct, guys,
that's what I'm taking from your comments. Correct, and it's
a great car. Everybody agrees with that. Chinese don't sell
cars in America. There's no Chinese cars that are on
the road in America that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 11 (16:06):
That's correct, I know of. But there's still there, I
mean not the part.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
The break roads that are factory in Toyota is come
from either United States or Japan. They're not made with
Chinese steel, right.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
That's so you can put them in I can, so
these are original roads. I can have them turn.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
How many miles did you get out of.
Speaker 11 (16:33):
Them if I turn them?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
I haven't liked that much, so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
His questions Ask me how many miles you're at now?
Speaker 11 (16:44):
Seventies eight thousand?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Okay? So if you're seventy eight thousand, you're still on
the original break road is I think that speaks pretty
highly of breaks. Do you not agree that if seventy
eight thousand they've done you? Well, Yes, you got your answer,
That's what I'm saying. So so what would stop you
from going back and getting factory ones?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:10):
I guess nothing, But these are the factory ones that warped.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Exactly, but they warped at eighty thousand. So yes, break
roaders do have have a specification and they can be
machined down to death specification. But of course you're making
them thinner at that time, so they're more prone to
warping because now there's less metal to displace the heat.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, Joy, I.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Think I think you got the answer. I think you
got the answer from Scott.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
So go just go back to Toyota.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You got seventy eight thousand. Sadly you had some some
knucklehead cut you off. You know, gotta you gotta deal
with it. Seven eight thousand, bad Troy. Appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Thank you going back.
Speaker 11 (17:51):
There, you guys have a great night. Thank you for
the info.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
All right, appreciate you. Thanks you just shuffle off to Buffalo.
I don't want Barbara and Buffalo to wait any longer. Barbara,
you go right ahead, Hi.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
I have a twenty fifteen Corolla Tota Corolla, and other
than regular oil changes, my mechanic never does anything to
my car. And when the lady called about the transmission fluid,
I'm thinking, jeepers. I never do anything to this car,
and he's the very hands off mechanic, which is good
(18:26):
for me. I don't put any money into it. But
what should I be doing to maintain this car? I
really want to keep it as long as I.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Can, Okay? So how many miles on the twenty thousand
and fifteen Corolla About one hundred and fifty three, okay?
And you really haven't done much to it?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
No.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
I A couple of times I've gone to a different
mechanic and said, you know what, I'm at one hundred thousand,
do what you gotta do, and I walk away paying
you know a lot more seven six hundred bucks. It
doesn't really seem like my mechanics with anything other than
regular oil changes. But I don't want to be negligent.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Right, But when you paid the six or seven hundred dollars,
what did you get for that six or seven hundred dollars.
If you can tell me that, then I can tell
you what needs to be done.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
Yeah, you know what it was. It was something at
one hundred thousand, Just like do what you got to
do at one hundred thousand. I'm pretty ignorant, so they
could have done anything. And now that I'm at say,
so let's start from ground zero. I'm at one fifty
four today. I got an oil change the other day.
Nothing's wrong with it. The lights pop on when it
(19:45):
tells me it needs something. Okay, So other than the
regular oil changes, what should I be.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Worried about maintaining?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Sure? I can certainly help you with that. So your
last major oil chain was about sixty Your last major
service maintenance service was about sixty thousand miles ago, right, correct? Okay,
So what you want to do, especially up in Buffalo
you have very cold winters. You want to do a
drain and fill on your engine, radiator and cooling system.
(20:22):
You want to ask them to go over your belts
and hoses at the milers that you currently have. We
talked about a drain and fill on the transmission at
sixty thousand miles into is done last. Yes, especially because
you're driving snow and you're gonna have some slipping and
sliding events. I mean that just happens. You're gonna want
(20:42):
to put on those winter those winter wiper blades like
we talked about at the onset of the show. Yep,
you're gonna want to make sure that you have excellent tires.
Buffalo gets a ton of snow, as memory serves me,
right right now, yep. Okay, you're going to want to
keep some kind of an emergency kit in the trunk
(21:05):
of your car, along with flares, hazard lights, a blanket.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Ye, the transmission fluid stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yes, absolutely, these fluids have to be changed. Your differential
fluid needs to be replaced at sixty thousand miles since
your last service, just like your transmission does. Okay, you're tired.
Are you rotating these tires every ten thousand miles?
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Probably not?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Now, okay, well, this is something that has to be
done as well. You want to also have them look
at the struts and sharks. That's going to help you
maintain a more controlled ride as you're driving down the road.
If the cargoes into a slide, you want the car
to be stable so you are the first and struts
and your sharks is what does that you? Okay, so
(22:02):
the car has to be gone through because you've got
sixty thousand.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
It sounds like the.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Service you had at one hundred thousand was probably done
one hundred percent correctly. Now it's sixty thousand miles more.
Winter's coming. We aren't going to stop old the old
man Winter it's going to be here. So these are
the things that you want to do. And if you
weren't writing it down, you can email me. I'll answer
(22:29):
you pretty much in text in words, the same thing
that I just told you.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Now, okay, thank you so much?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Do you want would you like Larry's email? We can
give you, No.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
I got I've got it.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Larry will be kind enough to give his email at
the end of the hour anyway. But these are great
people who come on and do this every few months
for me. I don't know if you listen to us
a lot up there, Barber, or if you just happen
to find us tonight.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Well, no, I do all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, thank you very muchppreciate that. All right, thanks, thanks Barber.
All right, this is your first this has to be

And the only thing other thing I got is go Bills.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, they had it. They had a rough weekend, a
rough weekend there.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I can understand that I'm picking them for the Super Bowl, Barber,
So I hope you know that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
So I'm rooting for the Bills. Okay, I mean at
least in terms of this much.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
All right, thanks, Barber, have a coach now, all right,
we are well into our eleven thirty newscast here, so
I'm going to break away. I got Mike in Foxborough, Atlanta,
in Gloucester, and I have some open lines six one, seven, two, five,
four to ten thirty or six one, seven, nine three
one ten thirty. We have Larry and Scott the WBZ
(23:47):
car guys. We're having a little bit of fun with this,
but this is serious. So if you have a serious
question or if you have a fun question, either way,
give us a call here on nights side. We we
do this. This is one of the services. Frankly, you know,
if you call a shop, they're not going to tell
you much. They're gonna come in and it's going to
cost you this is free of charge. Scott and Larry
(24:09):
are great.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They do this.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
They owned a great shop for many many years, sold
it and yet they still come in and basically help
out nightside listeners. I again need to express to them
how grateful I am for this service and this really
font of information. They're not stumped easily, if at all.
Coming back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm w BZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right, let's keep Rowland. If you're on the line,
we're going to get you. I promise you that. Let
me go to Lanta in Gloucester. Lanta, you were next
on Nice Side with the WBS car guys, Larry and
Scott go right ahead, Lanta.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Hi guys, Hi Dan, Hey, how are you have a
twenty nineteen Mini Cooper Countrymen? And so far had a
few things happened to it, odd things that were expensive,
a leak in the moon roof, and some minor things.
(25:10):
But I had an inspection in August and they told
me with their sort of mini multipoint inspection that what
needs attention soon is something called a drive shaft guebo clutch.
Are you familiar with that?
Speaker 9 (25:30):
Yep, it's a.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, you know the Mini Coopers is made by BMW,
so BMW is also using what's called the guebo joint. Yes,
so they told you need attention.
Speaker 13 (25:43):
Okay, well they said I need found a rear drive
I'm reading it found a rear drive shaft gebo clutch
disc is worn and beginning to tear. They sent a
little picture recommending replacing or rechecking it next service. But
my question was it seems like it was that was expensive.
(26:03):
It was twelve hundred and forty five dollars, and I
just wondered if that's something that is emergent or I
should wait.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
So the guiebo joint, the guebo is the section where
the drive shaft the steel ends and before it goes
into the drive line. That's where that guebo plate is
or disk, whatever they want to call it. It's it's
made from rubber and just like your tires on your vehicle,
they the rubber.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
If you know, you've ever.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Seen what a cracked tire looks like. As the rubber
gets older and drier, it starts to crack because the
rubber is no longer appliable. So you do not want
to break a guebo. Uh, it would be as bad
as having a drive shaft fall out of a vehicle,
So it is seriously, it's an important thing. The fact
that they told you that it doesn't have to be
(26:56):
done right now, well that's all you's given. Give me
a warning sign. And I think that the dealership that
told you that, it tells you that they're paying attention
to vehicle. So kudos to them for that. I would
start saving your nickels. I'm assuming you really enjoy the car.
You're not planning and getting rid of it anytime soon.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
I get a lot of protes and cons about Mini Coopers,
but I've had really good luck and it's a great
little car, handles well, so I'm happy with it.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How many how many miles did you say you're at now?
Speaker 13 (27:31):
I'm at forty eight thousand, so it's very low mileage.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
And you said the seventeen correct.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
I'm sorry, say again you said it.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Was a twenty seventeen.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Oh, twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Still some my apologies.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That's still low mileage.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
He is right, very low mileage. You're you're talking, you know,
you're talking what eight to ten thousand miles a year,
So low mileage car. You're happy with it? Certainly no
need to replace it over that if you were to
buy a replacement eventually, I believe the guibles are still
used in the newer ones, so you've still run into
it at some point. Definitely not a reason to walk
(28:11):
away from the car. And yes, it is something that
I would keep a serious eye on and start saving for.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
Okay, great advice. I have one other quick question, and
it's not an engine question, it's a body question. And
that question is if you deal with paint things. When
I bought the car, it had racing stripes on the
hood and I had them take them off. And Okay,
I've noticed this past summer that I have a couple
(28:39):
of little chips that I see it. I feel like
it's probably from when they took the racing stripes off.
And I wondered what your thoughts were on the advertised
quick fix drops that I see advertised that works on
any color that if you drop it on like a
paint chip, it.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Scratch X or.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Something like that. Yeah, I've personally never used them. I've
seen them. I know it's been around for probably at
least twenty years now. You know, some people have probably
had very good luck with them. I personally have no
experience with them. My recommendation would be to My recommendation
would be to go to a good reconditioning shop and
(29:26):
get their opinion on it. We never dealt with bodywork
when we had our shop, but a good reconditioning shop
can tell you if it's something that's salvageable, whether it
be through a scratch X product or through you know,
touch up paint or et cetera. You know, eat either
one of those, or whether or not it's something that
could be buffed out repaired. If they can't a body
(29:46):
a body shop would be would be would be another
option as well. And just so you know, if you're
faithful in the dealership, that's great. Glebos can be gotten
a lot cheaper in the aftermarket. It to oi. You
can get them for probably less than half the labor
to change a guiebow. Not overly expensive to do, probably
(30:10):
an hour or two to do it, but the parts
themselves can be much cheaper. So just starting to think
about all right.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
LANDA thank you much appreciate you called good ad Scott.
Thanks landa talk soon, have a great night, good night
all right, everybody in the line. Flaberto Mike and Steve,
you're all set if you want to give it a shot.
Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven, nine,
three one, ten thirty. We'll try to get you by Flaberto.
Mike and Steve, you are all set. Coming right back
with the WBZ cardboard car. Guys, Larry and Scott Rubenstein.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We're gonna get everybody in, so we're gonna tighten the
questions up a little bit. I'm gonna go to Mike
and Foxborough first. Mike, you are next on Nightside. What's
your cam? The question go right ahead, Mike.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Hey, guys, how you doing.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
I won't keep you along.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
I'm in the.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
Market for a late model, either CRV or WRAP four.
What what is your opinion on which one you'd buy?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
They're both excellent. They're both very good, good cars. I
lean towards the towards the RAV four. The CRV have
some door problems, but I mean that's mine that they
can be fixed. They both are going to give you
the same amount of long life three hundred thousand miles.
(31:36):
The maintenance of the CRV is a little bit higher,
and the resale value on the Toyota is a little
bit higher, So the Toyota has a slight edge on it,
but the CRV wouldn't be a bad deal.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Okay, all right, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, that's good. That sounds like you figured it out. Thanks, Mike,
appreciate it. Okay, where we're gonna go? Next to Steve
and Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Steve, welcome, Hi Dan.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Larry Scott right? You really? You hit? Your timing was
excellent about car questions because I've been thinking about the
last couple of weeks on things I need to do
on my two thousand and four camery Lee. I bought
it with twenty thousand miles last October. It's now got
forty three thousand on it right now. It's sat in
(32:30):
the garage for twenty years. I had to replace the
tires because they were twenty two years old and I
got a blowout in August. So no problem with the tires,
no problem with the alignment. I religiously changed. You will
about every thirty five hundred to thirty nine hundred miles
with synthetic and make sure it's done, you know, timely
(32:52):
without any problem at all. The three things or four
things I need to look at or I'm gonna ask
you about, is at that mile is forty three thousand
on an old car like this, which it's an absolutely
perfect shape. What about you know, flushing the transmission and
the radiator and breaks I definitely are starting to grab
(33:13):
now they're starting to get to the hard part. And
also what about the power steering pomp? Should that fluid
do you change too?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Well, all those fluids you talked about are all hygroscopic fluids,
which means that they do attract water. So to change
them after that number of years of sitting still so
it hasn't even gotten hot, there's most definitely moisture in them,
So that would be a great idea to do those.
(33:42):
That four cylinder has a timing chain. It does not
have a timing belt, so you're good there. So a
fluid change, wind chier, wiper change. Go over the brakes. Okay,
when you doing the breaks, take a look at the
brake hoser. They may have dried out and they might
(34:02):
be cracked, and if that happens, you're gonna end up
with a soft brake pedal. You don't want that, but
also doing good.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
I also just changed the airfilt there myself underneath there,
which it was at the old one. Wasn't that dirty,
but I still change it anyway.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Did you find any critters in there when you opened
it up?
Speaker 8 (34:27):
No, I was looking for leaves, critters, nothing in there
at all. It was just drag and wiped out the inside,
and then I just put it in and tighten it.
You know, it doesn't snap on. You have to use
a ten milimeter to tighten it up, as you probably know.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah they are pain Yeah, yeah they.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
You don't have a right, but I'm not gonna be
able to do it, And that's right. If snow. This
tells me that the car was stored in a clean place.
Was it a temperature controlled?
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Environment?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
I believe so. It was a The lady that owned
it was eighty seven years old and they took away
her license. She was a granny, and you know, I
don't think she ever listened to the radio. I don't
think she did. The air conditioning still blows cold air.
It probably could be colder. I think I could wait
till next spring on that one. But as far as
driving down the road, it drives like a dream. It
(35:22):
just floats right down the road. I can you can't
tell the difference between forty or eighty. And I'm not
really all.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Right, Steve, I got one more. I gotta get to
my man.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I think if you've done with the questions, I gotta move.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Okay, I understand, Okay, thank you, Steve.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Let me get Flabberto in moonsaka Rhode Island. Flibberto, go
right ahead. You're almost Scott and Larry.
Speaker 14 (35:44):
Good evening, Dan, Scott and Larry, I have a two
thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
A two thousand and six, what.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
One focus Z X force? Then for those of them,
we're a two point zero leader for the cylinder. Now
two questions about uh?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
One of one of them is while the car is.
Speaker 14 (36:09):
I there's a vibration coming into the car and you
can seal it in the stain wheel. Now I was
told was the motor monks need to be replaced? How
much I would say, I'm looking at that to fish.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
That a.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Little bit. I believe that you have oh six focus
that needs motor mounts. Do you happen to know which
motor mounts they are?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (36:38):
I don't.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
I haven't gone that part to check it, to have
a check.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Now, yeah, do me a favo fliberto.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Please keep speaking directly into the mouthpiece on the phone
so we can hear you. So what, So what is
your question for Scott and Larry, because we're really running
out of time.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (36:57):
The other question was also, there's a play in the
steering wheel. So the guy the guys stopped and you
turn the stewerwheel. There's about a three quarters of an
inch to one inch. Please, there's a loose kind of
a loose playing hysteria. What do you think that would
(37:18):
be the problem? And how much were to you looking
at that?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Okay, So I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna touch on both
your questions.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, So you gotta you gotta be quick here, Scott, Scott,
you gotta be quick.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
You've got less than a minor too.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
As far as the engine mounts go, expect anywhere from
two to three hundred dollars per mount. Okay, anywhere from
a half hour to an hour, and probably about one hundred,
one hundred to one hundred and twenty five in parts.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
That's one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
As far as the steering play is concerned, you most
likely have a bad steering rack or a bad steering column,
you joint, and that needs to be checked out. There's
not going to be an adjustment on that flaberto.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You got some problems there.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
You got you got to get to a shop and
you got to have somebody look at it, don't You
don't want to lose your steering driving that car?
Speaker 11 (38:07):
Okay, definitely not so yeah, I appreciate it. That have
a great night.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
All right, guys, we're down to about a minute here
and people are calling in.
Speaker 3 (38:20):
Unfortunately, there we've run out of time. Uh, Larry, you
have an email that I know you've always been kind
to give to my callers. Do you still want to
do that tonight?
Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yes, as a matter of fact, and we hadn't been

(00:29):
the headlight cleaners. I've learned about mouse block. Let's keep
rolling here. I want to get as many people in
as possible. Let me go next too. Irene is in Raintree. Irene,
you are up next to on nightside.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Welcome.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (00:46):
Did you say Braintree?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Well, yes, that's what it says to my screen? Where
are you? Actually? Did Rob mishear you?
Speaker 6 (00:53):
No?
Speaker 5 (00:53):
No, no, it is Braintree, but it sounded different. You
have a call, do you?
Speaker 7 (00:56):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I have a pretty bad cold. So I what
did it sound like?
Speaker 4 (01:00):
I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:01):
It is? That is?
Speaker 5 (01:02):
How like Raintree? I don't know?
Speaker 3 (01:05):
No, no, I.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
I want to be sure we're good.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
We're good.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
Take good, Larry and Scott. Thanks for taking the car.
My husband bought a rare for twenty twenty five in
August of this year. It's a full wheel drive and
it's an x L E whatever that is. And anyhow,
they give you a complimentary oil change and tire rotation.
(01:30):
But he hasn't gone many miles, and I was wondering
should I go ahead and do that or no?
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Well, yes, so I would.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm sorry, okay, no, no, I was just gonna say so.
I always say, if if you if you haven't hit
your mileage mark, least bring in the car once a year. Uh,
get your get your free oil change do you have
coming to you?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
And well a lot of.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
People don't realize a lot of times those free oil
changes and tire rotations and things that dealerships offer when
they sell you a vehicle, they do have an expiration date.
So please look into that. I hate to see you
miss that.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
You're really right, it's probably all right. Okay, I skipped that.
So I have another question. I got that silicone spray,
you know, supposed to protect your paint on the vehicle.
Was that a worthwhile thing or no? It's some kind
of a spray.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
They called, I'm sorry talking about you had a professionally
done called fluid.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Film you're going in and out.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Okay, I think I think she's suggesting that you bought
a silicone spray.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Probably do it yourself.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
No, no, no, no, wrong.
Speaker 7 (02:44):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
At the dealership, the Toyota dealership in Braintree, they they
sell to you when you buy the car. You don't
have to buy it. It's optional. But it's some kind
of a have you heard of it? It's some kind
of a spray that goes over the vehicle to save
the paint. So do you want to see what I'm
saying enough.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
To go over the page or over the underside of
the vehicle?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
No, not, the underside has to paint to paint itself.
It's some kind of a I don't know, like a spray.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
What what did I read? What did you pay for
that treatment?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
Good question? I don't remember now, but I but I
know my my nephew had done not by the Toyota dealer,
but he had done by a supper party.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Well, here's the thing. We want to put your mind
at rest.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Okay, if we tell you you didn't tell us so
much you paid for it, so therefore copy that important.
I think it was probably one of the most brilliant
things you've done this century, So rest is your that's.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Going to help your car?
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Look?
Speaker 5 (03:44):
I think so too brand new.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Don't you feel better now a little bit?
Speaker 5 (03:50):
And what's your opinion? Fellas on our route for.
Speaker 9 (03:56):
Wonderful v.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Great wrap vehicle.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
We're all we're all there, all three of us are
with you, Irene. We're with you on the wrap flour
and we're definitely with you on the silicon spray.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Oh okay, all right, guys, thanks for your time.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Absolutely, you've got a great car. You got a great
car for the price.
Speaker 10 (04:17):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
All right, have a great night. I think we did
the right thing.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I think that is going I think that that car
that she bought, that Rat four is going to give
her close to four hundred thousand miles. I would almost
bet on it. They make such a great product nice
And what she had is she had a paint paint
protection film put on silicone, maybe ceramic, most likely a
(04:48):
spray on if it wasn't six hundred dollars. It's a
temporary thing that they spray on. I'm not a bad
idea when you go when you look at the old
raw price in the car, it's the small pittance. But
anything you can do to protect the car's finish is
only going to enhance the reshell.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Value absolutely, But bet it is a great car for.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Let's go next to there. That's the wonderful car.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Robin fair Haven down in the South car Rob, welcome.
Speaker 9 (05:18):
How are you guys doing? First time car? I always
listen to your car show there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Gotta give you a round of applause as a first
time caller.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Okay, go right ahead. You're all with Scott and Larry and.
Speaker 9 (05:31):
Then the other guy there, uh he called up he
had problems with mechanics or I had one where I
drove the car in and had to have it towed
back out. My father told me to get it out
of there because they were coming up with all cars.
I drove the car in and then had to drive
the car had it toad out of there.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Well that's gonna make Jay in Mainfield a lot better,
So thank you for that.
Speaker 9 (05:53):
I just want I want to let you guys know
the headlights. The headlight Kleino, if you got yellow headlights
or whatever everyone had in their home, it works great. Toothpaste.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
You rub paste it right.
Speaker 9 (06:06):
And it looks brand new when you take it off.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Really, now that's interesting.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
It does damn toothpaistney has some kind of abrasive in it. Yeah,
so you can use that and as well. I mean
it does work, but you know what, you use four
or five tubes of toothpaste, it's going to add up
to the same thing. And when you use a toothpaste,
(06:31):
it doesn't come with it with a sealer. It's imperative
that you put a ceiling coat on it afterwards. So
cleaning it is fine, but if you don't put a
sealer on it afterwards, it's going to turn back to
yellow really quick. So I think that the kit which
that the kid Scott was talking about, I believe it's
(06:51):
the loads of Home Depot. It's like nineteen dollars and change.
It's not a lot of money and it does work great.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
Is that the one that's called wall two but two
tases two?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, No, I got you on that? Is that is
that I wrote this down earlier?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Was that the thing that was called call zero that
we talked about with Jack from Watertown?
Speaker 4 (07:14):
What was the name of that? The company.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Which which one is the.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Headlights?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Headlights?
Speaker 9 (07:26):
Sarah con is a big name for him.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Rainex is another company that makes some sylvania the headlight
company they make them as well. I mean there's plenty
of plenty of known name and you know, no not
necessarily big name companies out there.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
And if you put in headlight cleaner, it'll take you
on Amazon to a.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Variety of options. I'm sure.
Speaker 9 (07:47):
I have one.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
The right ahead, Rob, Time for your question, the redhead.
Speaker 9 (07:51):
When you have when you have an engine that's it's
electric and gas, when when should you change oil on that?
Speaker 6 (08:01):
You're talking about a regular hybrid vehicle, we do, right,
just like you know, just like a regular five thousand mile,
regular five thousand miles, No, depending you're fudge it off
of how regular five thousand miles. It's kind of hard
to judge when you're using a hybrid how much of
it is gas versus electric. But the average hybrid I know,
(08:22):
well you know what, let me. I can only speak
to the product that we sell. I know our hybrids
get about twenty six to thirty two miles before they're
straight back to gasoline, so you know, somewhere in the
five to six thousand mile range I would recommend.
Speaker 9 (08:44):
Now, how would you know when you're using the hybrid, Like,
how do you you know and the mile that you're
getting on it.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Well, you generally have a gauge on your dashboard that
says how many how many miles you're getting?
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Well, switch switches back and forth, but I can't tell
correct when I'm using das or when I'm.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Using electrics make make a decent essence.
Speaker 6 (09:08):
So I can only I can always speak to the
hybrids that I work with currently, and I know that
our show what the batteries LEL level is out when
it starts, and it'll tell me the mileage as we
continue to go down and then you'll hear it switch
straight over to gasoline. What kind of vehicle were specifically
talking about here?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
We're talking about a Ford, a carline.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
Van and a carnoline ban A hybrid?
Speaker 9 (09:37):
Yes, what year? What year is it? The twenty twenty two?
Speaker 6 (09:44):
All right, a twenty two hybrid e econoline? And you
want to know how much how often oil on that?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
What do you see Scott's looking at Scott is looking
it up for you right now, rob right, just hold on.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Scott's gonna look it up for you right now.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Okay, okay, to tell how to tell when you're an
electric when when you're an electric pursus engine. All right,
let's let's do some dig in the air. All right,
so you should get approximately Now I want you to
(10:23):
want to give him a little loud you can take
him a little bit yarp and you want.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
To chuck it out.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Okay, So you can certainly break it down as to
how many hours on the battery and how many hours
on the engine. The general consensus from the Society of
Automotive Engineers in this country says, change your oil every
five every five thousand miles. Now you can quibble, well,
(10:49):
I could have gotten ten miles more, or right, I
could have gotten one hundred miles more. But oil change
is cheap insurance. So that's what the Society of Automotive
Engineers is saying. Five thousand miles. Can you stretch it
from seven to ten? Yeah? What does your owner's manual say?
Speaker 9 (11:09):
Well, I didn't have I didn't have one.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
You know that you can get an owner's manual, right,
they are readily available.
Speaker 11 (11:20):
Or.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
You could absolutely check it online too, which is what
Scott is doing for you for you now. But the
general consensus is five five thousand miles.
Speaker 6 (11:34):
Right, He's saying that the battery from fully shots to
when the battery's empty is roughly anywhere from ninety to
one hundred and twenty miles.
Speaker 9 (11:45):
Oh okay, so.
Speaker 6 (11:47):
At that point when you run out of electricity, right
then you're back to gas.
Speaker 9 (11:54):
Okay, so I would have to chase the battery. Also,
how often do you have to change it? Bad be
if you've got a hybrid vehicle, well, it gets.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
It gets recharged.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
Yeah, correct, there is no there is no specific light hybrid.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
Bat and I know that, Rob.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
How many right, we're speaking strictly about how many miles?
So for every every five thousand miles, okay, you figure
about uh probably ten about ten percent of that is
going to be electric.
Speaker 9 (12:31):
Okay, all right, follow in listening to you guys.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
All right, thanks Rob, appreciate you. Take good time.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Gotta take quick break, Thanks Rob. A couple of folks
dropped off, So we now have some open lines. Six one, seven, two, five,
four ten thirty six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
We're coming back with Toy in New Hampshire, Bober in Buffalo,
and I got some room for you. Six one, seven, two,
five four ten thirty six one seven nine three one
ten thirty. You get in right now we'll take care
(12:59):
of you before the end of the hour. I guarantee it.
Back on night Side right after this very quick break.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's Night Side with on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
All right, let's get right back to the calls as promised.
Troy in New Hampshire. Troy, you next on nice side
with a BZ car. Guys, go ahead, Troy.
Speaker 11 (13:19):
Good evening, gentlemen, nice to talk to you. Thanks for
all the information. And just a precursor, my wife's had
four raft fours. They're great.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
Yeah, oh yeah, three doors before you know, we're we're
both both Dad and I have very big proponents foot
to yo and Dad still drives a Sequoia. I've had
plenty of them. They're they're absolutely wonderful vehicles. So yeah,
definitely big tumble.
Speaker 11 (13:44):
I'm driving right now. And that's one of my questions about.
I had somebody cut me off the other day and
I had a gem on the brake, so I warped
the front roaders. Is there any place I can I
five roaders that are good steal that aren't going to warp?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
How the hell fast were going? Whoa, whoa, whoa? How
fast were you going?
Speaker 11 (14:05):
It was on the Highway. I was doing sixty miles
an hour and somebody cuts in front of you. But
as soon as you gem on the break, you overheat
those rotors and they're going to warp on you.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
I did not know that.
Speaker 11 (14:16):
Yes, yes, wow, so yeah breaks the whole steering wheel shakes.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
O oh yeah, there's nothing there's there's nothing worse than
than having what break road is.
Speaker 9 (14:30):
I will tell you that.
Speaker 6 (14:31):
The majority, the majority of brake roaders that are sold
in the aftermarket, uh, the majority of them are made
with Chinese steel, which is recycled steel. So you're not
going to get a high quality. There are some great
companies out there that make them, but nowadays, if you remember,
(14:53):
back in the day rotors, we would turn them and
we would get at least two or three break jobs
before you need a break roaders. And nowadays it's always
pass and roads every time because they just don't maybe
garbage stale exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I think they call that obsolescence. If I'm not mistaken,
that's the techniquead.
Speaker 6 (15:13):
Just like my exactly right, that's exactly right. So if
I was going to buy break roads and I wanted
the best quality, I would personally go back to oh em,
I would get the ones right right from from Toyota Da.
Speaker 11 (15:31):
Really Yeah, but it's I mean, it's a Japanese company,
so they're probably using the same steel.
Speaker 6 (15:36):
Well, but but Japanese and Chinese is not necessarily the same.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
How many?
Speaker 8 (15:47):
How many?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
How many cars? Wait?
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Hold on if if if toyotas made, it's a Japanese car, correct, guys,
that's what I'm taking from your comments. Correct, and it's
a great car. Everybody agrees with that. Chinese don't sell
cars in America. There's no Chinese cars that are on
the road in America that I'm aware of.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 11 (16:06):
That's correct, I know of. But there's still there, I
mean not the part.
Speaker 6 (16:15):
The break roads that are factory in Toyota is come
from either United States or Japan. They're not made with
Chinese steel, right.
Speaker 11 (16:24):
That's so you can put them in I can, so
these are original roads. I can have them turn.
Speaker 6 (16:31):
How many miles did you get out of.
Speaker 11 (16:33):
Them if I turn them?
Speaker 8 (16:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
I haven't liked that much, so I don't know.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
His questions Ask me how many miles you're at now?
Speaker 11 (16:44):
Seventies eight thousand?
Speaker 6 (16:47):
Okay? So if you're seventy eight thousand, you're still on
the original break road is I think that speaks pretty
highly of breaks. Do you not agree that if seventy
eight thousand they've done you? Well, Yes, you got your answer,
That's what I'm saying. So so what would stop you
from going back and getting factory ones?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (17:10):
I guess nothing, But these are the factory ones that warped.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Exactly, but they warped at eighty thousand. So yes, break
roaders do have have a specification and they can be
machined down to death specification. But of course you're making
them thinner at that time, so they're more prone to
warping because now there's less metal to displace the heat.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Yeah, Joy, I.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Think I think you got the answer. I think you
got the answer from Scott.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
So go just go back to Toyota.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
You got seventy eight thousand. Sadly you had some some
knucklehead cut you off. You know, gotta you gotta deal
with it. Seven eight thousand, bad Troy. Appreciate the call.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Thank you going back.
Speaker 11 (17:51):
There, you guys have a great night. Thank you for
the info.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
All right, appreciate you. Thanks you just shuffle off to Buffalo.
I don't want Barbara and Buffalo to wait any longer. Barbara,
you go right ahead, Hi.
Speaker 10 (18:04):
I have a twenty fifteen Corolla Tota Corolla, and other
than regular oil changes, my mechanic never does anything to
my car. And when the lady called about the transmission fluid,
I'm thinking, jeepers. I never do anything to this car,
and he's the very hands off mechanic, which is good
(18:26):
for me. I don't put any money into it. But
what should I be doing to maintain this car? I
really want to keep it as long as I.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Can, Okay? So how many miles on the twenty thousand
and fifteen Corolla About one hundred and fifty three, okay?
And you really haven't done much to it?
Speaker 5 (18:48):
No.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
I A couple of times I've gone to a different
mechanic and said, you know what, I'm at one hundred thousand,
do what you gotta do, and I walk away paying
you know a lot more seven six hundred bucks. It
doesn't really seem like my mechanics with anything other than
regular oil changes. But I don't want to be negligent.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
Right, But when you paid the six or seven hundred dollars,
what did you get for that six or seven hundred dollars.
If you can tell me that, then I can tell
you what needs to be done.
Speaker 12 (19:23):
Yeah, you know what it was. It was something at
one hundred thousand, Just like do what you got to
do at one hundred thousand. I'm pretty ignorant, so they
could have done anything. And now that I'm at say,
so let's start from ground zero. I'm at one fifty
four today. I got an oil change the other day.
Nothing's wrong with it. The lights pop on when it
(19:45):
tells me it needs something. Okay, So other than the
regular oil changes, what should I be.
Speaker 10 (19:54):
Worried about maintaining?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Sure? I can certainly help you with that. So your
last major oil chain was about sixty Your last major
service maintenance service was about sixty thousand miles ago, right, correct? Okay,
So what you want to do, especially up in Buffalo
you have very cold winters. You want to do a
drain and fill on your engine, radiator and cooling system.
(20:22):
You want to ask them to go over your belts
and hoses at the milers that you currently have. We
talked about a drain and fill on the transmission at
sixty thousand miles into is done last. Yes, especially because
you're driving snow and you're gonna have some slipping and
sliding events. I mean that just happens. You're gonna want
(20:42):
to put on those winter those winter wiper blades like
we talked about at the onset of the show. Yep,
you're gonna want to make sure that you have excellent tires.
Buffalo gets a ton of snow, as memory serves me,
right right now, yep. Okay, you're going to want to
keep some kind of an emergency kit in the trunk
(21:05):
of your car, along with flares, hazard lights, a blanket.
Speaker 12 (21:13):
Ye, the transmission fluid stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yes, absolutely, these fluids have to be changed. Your differential
fluid needs to be replaced at sixty thousand miles since
your last service, just like your transmission does. Okay, you're tired.
Are you rotating these tires every ten thousand miles?
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Probably not?
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Now, okay, well, this is something that has to be
done as well. You want to also have them look
at the struts and sharks. That's going to help you
maintain a more controlled ride as you're driving down the road.
If the cargoes into a slide, you want the car
to be stable so you are the first and struts
and your sharks is what does that you? Okay, so
(22:02):
the car has to be gone through because you've got
sixty thousand.
Speaker 9 (22:06):
It sounds like the.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Service you had at one hundred thousand was probably done
one hundred percent correctly. Now it's sixty thousand miles more.
Winter's coming. We aren't going to stop old the old
man Winter it's going to be here. So these are
the things that you want to do. And if you
weren't writing it down, you can email me. I'll answer
(22:29):
you pretty much in text in words, the same thing
that I just told you.
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Now, okay, thank you so much?
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Do you want would you like Larry's email? We can
give you, No.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
I got I've got it.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Larry will be kind enough to give his email at
the end of the hour anyway. But these are great
people who come on and do this every few months
for me. I don't know if you listen to us
a lot up there, Barber, or if you just happen
to find us tonight.
Speaker 10 (22:56):
Well, no, I do all the time.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Well, thank you very muchppreciate that. All right, thanks, thanks Barber.
All right, this is your first this has to be
your first time calling, right, is this your first time
calling Barber?
Speaker 12 (23:08):
No, Nope.
Speaker 10 (23:09):
And the only thing other thing I got is go Bills.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
Yeah, they had it. They had a rough weekend, a
rough weekend there.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
I can understand that I'm picking them for the Super Bowl, Barber,
So I hope you know that.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
So I'm rooting for the Bills. Okay, I mean at
least in terms of this much.
Speaker 10 (23:25):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
All right, thanks, Barber, have a coach now, all right,
we are well into our eleven thirty newscast here, so
I'm going to break away. I got Mike in Foxborough, Atlanta,
in Gloucester, and I have some open lines six one, seven, two, five,
four to ten thirty or six one, seven, nine three
one ten thirty. We have Larry and Scott the WBZ
(23:47):
car guys. We're having a little bit of fun with this,
but this is serious. So if you have a serious
question or if you have a fun question, either way,
give us a call here on nights side. We we
do this. This is one of the services. Frankly, you know,
if you call a shop, they're not going to tell
you much. They're gonna come in and it's going to
cost you this is free of charge. Scott and Larry
(24:09):
are great.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
They do this.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
They owned a great shop for many many years, sold
it and yet they still come in and basically help
out nightside listeners. I again need to express to them
how grateful I am for this service and this really
font of information. They're not stumped easily, if at all.
Coming back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm w BZ Boston's news radio.
Speaker 3 (24:38):
All right, let's keep Rowland. If you're on the line,
we're going to get you. I promise you that. Let
me go to Lanta in Gloucester. Lanta, you were next
on Nice Side with the WBS car guys, Larry and
Scott go right ahead, Lanta.
Speaker 13 (24:49):
Hi guys, Hi Dan, Hey, how are you have a
twenty nineteen Mini Cooper Countrymen? And so far had a
few things happened to it, odd things that were expensive,
a leak in the moon roof, and some minor things.
(25:10):
But I had an inspection in August and they told
me with their sort of mini multipoint inspection that what
needs attention soon is something called a drive shaft guebo clutch.
Are you familiar with that?
Speaker 9 (25:30):
Yep, it's a.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Well, you know the Mini Coopers is made by BMW,
so BMW is also using what's called the guebo joint. Yes,
so they told you need attention.
Speaker 13 (25:43):
Okay, well they said I need found a rear drive
I'm reading it found a rear drive shaft gebo clutch
disc is worn and beginning to tear. They sent a
little picture recommending replacing or rechecking it next service. But
my question was it seems like it was that was expensive.
(26:03):
It was twelve hundred and forty five dollars, and I
just wondered if that's something that is emergent or I
should wait.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
So the guiebo joint, the guebo is the section where
the drive shaft the steel ends and before it goes
into the drive line. That's where that guebo plate is
or disk, whatever they want to call it. It's it's
made from rubber and just like your tires on your vehicle,
they the rubber.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
If you know, you've ever.
Speaker 6 (26:36):
Seen what a cracked tire looks like. As the rubber
gets older and drier, it starts to crack because the
rubber is no longer appliable. So you do not want
to break a guebo. Uh, it would be as bad
as having a drive shaft fall out of a vehicle,
So it is seriously, it's an important thing. The fact
that they told you that it doesn't have to be
(26:56):
done right now, well that's all you's given. Give me
a warning sign. And I think that the dealership that
told you that, it tells you that they're paying attention
to vehicle. So kudos to them for that. I would
start saving your nickels. I'm assuming you really enjoy the car.
You're not planning and getting rid of it anytime soon.
Speaker 13 (27:17):
I get a lot of protes and cons about Mini Coopers,
but I've had really good luck and it's a great
little car, handles well, so I'm happy with it.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
How many how many miles did you say you're at now?
Speaker 13 (27:31):
I'm at forty eight thousand, so it's very low mileage.
Speaker 6 (27:36):
And you said the seventeen correct.
Speaker 13 (27:40):
I'm sorry, say again you said it.
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Was a twenty seventeen.
Speaker 13 (27:44):
Oh, twenty nineteen.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Still some my apologies.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
That's still low mileage.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
He is right, very low mileage. You're you're talking, you know,
you're talking what eight to ten thousand miles a year,
So low mileage car. You're happy with it? Certainly no
need to replace it over that if you were to
buy a replacement eventually, I believe the guibles are still
used in the newer ones, so you've still run into
it at some point. Definitely not a reason to walk
(28:11):
away from the car. And yes, it is something that
I would keep a serious eye on and start saving for.
Speaker 13 (28:17):
Okay, great advice. I have one other quick question, and
it's not an engine question, it's a body question. And
that question is if you deal with paint things. When
I bought the car, it had racing stripes on the
hood and I had them take them off. And Okay,
I've noticed this past summer that I have a couple
(28:39):
of little chips that I see it. I feel like
it's probably from when they took the racing stripes off.
And I wondered what your thoughts were on the advertised
quick fix drops that I see advertised that works on
any color that if you drop it on like a
paint chip, it.
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Scratch X or.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
Something like that. Yeah, I've personally never used them. I've
seen them. I know it's been around for probably at
least twenty years now. You know, some people have probably
had very good luck with them. I personally have no
experience with them. My recommendation would be to My recommendation
would be to go to a good reconditioning shop and
(29:26):
get their opinion on it. We never dealt with bodywork
when we had our shop, but a good reconditioning shop
can tell you if it's something that's salvageable, whether it
be through a scratch X product or through you know,
touch up paint or et cetera. You know, eat either
one of those, or whether or not it's something that
could be buffed out repaired. If they can't a body
(29:46):
a body shop would be would be would be another
option as well. And just so you know, if you're
faithful in the dealership, that's great. Glebos can be gotten
a lot cheaper in the aftermarket. It to oi. You
can get them for probably less than half the labor
to change a guiebow. Not overly expensive to do, probably
(30:10):
an hour or two to do it, but the parts
themselves can be much cheaper. So just starting to think
about all right.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
LANDA thank you much appreciate you called good ad Scott.
Thanks landa talk soon, have a great night, good night
all right, everybody in the line. Flaberto Mike and Steve,
you're all set if you want to give it a shot.
Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty six one seven, nine,
three one, ten thirty. We'll try to get you by Flaberto.
Mike and Steve, you are all set. Coming right back
with the WBZ cardboard car. Guys, Larry and Scott Rubenstein.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
We're gonna get everybody in, so we're gonna tighten the
questions up a little bit. I'm gonna go to Mike
and Foxborough first. Mike, you are next on Nightside. What's
your cam? The question go right ahead, Mike.
Speaker 8 (31:02):
Hey, guys, how you doing.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
I won't keep you along.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
I'm in the.
Speaker 11 (31:05):
Market for a late model, either CRV or WRAP four.
What what is your opinion on which one you'd buy?
Speaker 4 (31:16):
They're both excellent. They're both very good, good cars. I
lean towards the towards the RAV four. The CRV have
some door problems, but I mean that's mine that they
can be fixed. They both are going to give you
the same amount of long life three hundred thousand miles.
(31:36):
The maintenance of the CRV is a little bit higher,
and the resale value on the Toyota is a little
bit higher, So the Toyota has a slight edge on it,
but the CRV wouldn't be a bad deal.
Speaker 11 (31:51):
Okay, all right, that's.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Okay, that's good. That sounds like you figured it out. Thanks, Mike,
appreciate it. Okay, where we're gonna go? Next to Steve
and Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Steve, welcome, Hi Dan.
Speaker 9 (32:08):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Larry Scott right? You really? You hit? Your timing was
excellent about car questions because I've been thinking about the
last couple of weeks on things I need to do
on my two thousand and four camery Lee. I bought
it with twenty thousand miles last October. It's now got
forty three thousand on it right now. It's sat in
(32:30):
the garage for twenty years. I had to replace the
tires because they were twenty two years old and I
got a blowout in August. So no problem with the tires,
no problem with the alignment. I religiously changed. You will
about every thirty five hundred to thirty nine hundred miles
with synthetic and make sure it's done, you know, timely
(32:52):
without any problem at all. The three things or four
things I need to look at or I'm gonna ask
you about, is at that mile is forty three thousand
on an old car like this, which it's an absolutely
perfect shape. What about you know, flushing the transmission and
the radiator and breaks I definitely are starting to grab
(33:13):
now they're starting to get to the hard part. And
also what about the power steering pomp? Should that fluid
do you change too?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
Well, all those fluids you talked about are all hygroscopic fluids,
which means that they do attract water. So to change
them after that number of years of sitting still so
it hasn't even gotten hot, there's most definitely moisture in them,
So that would be a great idea to do those.
(33:42):
That four cylinder has a timing chain. It does not
have a timing belt, so you're good there. So a
fluid change, wind chier, wiper change. Go over the brakes. Okay,
when you doing the breaks, take a look at the
brake hoser. They may have dried out and they might
(34:02):
be cracked, and if that happens, you're gonna end up
with a soft brake pedal. You don't want that, but
also doing good.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
I also just changed the airfilt there myself underneath there,
which it was at the old one. Wasn't that dirty,
but I still change it anyway.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Did you find any critters in there when you opened
it up?
Speaker 8 (34:27):
No, I was looking for leaves, critters, nothing in there
at all. It was just drag and wiped out the inside,
and then I just put it in and tighten it.
You know, it doesn't snap on. You have to use
a ten milimeter to tighten it up, as you probably know.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Yeah they are pain Yeah, yeah they.
Speaker 7 (34:47):
You don't have a right, but I'm not gonna be
able to do it, And that's right. If snow. This
tells me that the car was stored in a clean place.
Was it a temperature controlled?
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (34:59):
Environment?
Speaker 8 (35:00):
I believe so. It was a The lady that owned
it was eighty seven years old and they took away
her license. She was a granny, and you know, I
don't think she ever listened to the radio. I don't
think she did. The air conditioning still blows cold air.
It probably could be colder. I think I could wait
till next spring on that one. But as far as
driving down the road, it drives like a dream. It
(35:22):
just floats right down the road. I can you can't
tell the difference between forty or eighty. And I'm not
really all.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Right, Steve, I got one more. I gotta get to
my man.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I think if you've done with the questions, I gotta move.
Speaker 8 (35:35):
Okay, I understand, Okay, thank you, Steve.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
Let me get Flabberto in moonsaka Rhode Island. Flibberto, go
right ahead. You're almost Scott and Larry.
Speaker 14 (35:44):
Good evening, Dan, Scott and Larry, I have a two
thousand and six.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
A two thousand and six, what.
Speaker 14 (35:58):
One focus Z X force? Then for those of them,
we're a two point zero leader for the cylinder. Now
two questions about uh?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
One of one of them is while the car is.
Speaker 14 (36:09):
I there's a vibration coming into the car and you
can seal it in the stain wheel. Now I was
told was the motor monks need to be replaced? How
much I would say, I'm looking at that to fish.
Speaker 9 (36:22):
That a.
Speaker 6 (36:30):
Little bit. I believe that you have oh six focus
that needs motor mounts. Do you happen to know which
motor mounts they are?
Speaker 4 (36:38):
No?
Speaker 9 (36:38):
I don't.
Speaker 14 (36:39):
I haven't gone that part to check it, to have
a check.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Now, yeah, do me a favo fliberto.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Please keep speaking directly into the mouthpiece on the phone
so we can hear you. So what, So what is
your question for Scott and Larry, because we're really running
out of time.
Speaker 4 (36:56):
Okay.
Speaker 15 (36:57):
The other question was also, there's a play in the
steering wheel. So the guy the guys stopped and you
turn the stewerwheel. There's about a three quarters of an
inch to one inch. Please, there's a loose kind of
a loose playing hysteria. What do you think that would
(37:18):
be the problem? And how much were to you looking
at that?
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (37:22):
Okay, So I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna touch on both
your questions.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Okay, So you gotta you gotta be quick here, Scott, Scott,
you gotta be quick.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
You've got less than a minor too.
Speaker 6 (37:33):
As far as the engine mounts go, expect anywhere from
two to three hundred dollars per mount. Okay, anywhere from
a half hour to an hour, and probably about one hundred,
one hundred to one hundred and twenty five in parts.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
That's one.
Speaker 6 (37:46):
As far as the steering play is concerned, you most
likely have a bad steering rack or a bad steering column,
you joint, and that needs to be checked out. There's
not going to be an adjustment on that flaberto.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
You got some problems there.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
You got you got to get to a shop and
you got to have somebody look at it, don't You
don't want to lose your steering driving that car?
Speaker 11 (38:07):
Okay, definitely not so yeah, I appreciate it. That have
a great night.
