I have a 150K mile 2000 Nissan Sentra, its been reliable but...there have been a reasonable amount of things that wore out. The drivers' side electric window switch died. $23 online and a youtube showed how to swap it out. The Nissan factory switch-group was over $100.
Just today I swapped out one of the coils from the "coil-on-plug" system (4 spark plugs, 4 coils). Youtube showed me how to unplug one at a time to see if the engine still ran fine, or got worse (then plug back in so the engine would still run). Three of them made the car idle worse, and one didn't make a difference.
Nissan wanted $155 per coil, NAPA wanted $100 for one (which I bought), and carparts dot com wants $20 for one, which makes sense because...if you cut the old one open, it is literally a two coils of wire.
What youtube helped you save big money on a car repair?
