[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1447756, member: 19880"] People can (and do) post anything on YouTube! At best, you get a snapshot of a single procedure. At worst, you get REALLY bad advice on how to handle an issue. With a forum such as this, you may get an expert opinion further backed up by a bunch of others with many years of model-specific experience. Not to say that you won't sometimes get sketchy advice here (or elsewhere) but anything like that will generate vigorous discussion if posted. You quickly learn to trust what (and who) to believe. YouTube can be useful but if I had ANY uncertainty, I would still post the link here for opinions and comment. Being able to post a question and getting immediate and relevant feedback is invaluable - unlike Facebook or YouTube. The search function here is really good (much better than before the upgrade). Multiple search terms (inclusive or exclusive), by author, date range, titles/content, etc - you can even use key words/acronyms with fewer than four letters (i.e. oil, LED, ABS, TBS, CCT, TPS, wax, gas, ECU, MCU, MAP, air, PSI, MPH, MPG, GPS etc.).
