      You'll still need something to clear those codes and a good code puller like he has is $300. The much cheaper ones are hit or miss. So instead of spending $200 once you night as well get a code scanner and have that as a tool for the future. Nothing gives used car dealers more anxiety than a guy with his own legit scanner.

    I’m closing in on 100k on the original engine. The car runs well and gets 35 MPG. I have been replacing the PCV valve every 30k miles as other Kia owners have advised. No oil loss, no catalytic converter issues, and no noise under the hood. One caveat is that all the maintenance guidelines in the manual only apply to “normal” driving conditions. It says change oil every 7500 miles. However, I do it every 3750.

      I bought mine (2012 base 1.6 liter 6 speed manual) at 110,000 miles. I've crossed the 190,000 mile mark. Oil consumption issues (probably related to carbon build up. I've had the dealership do their cleaning procedures. Seeing how easy it is to do yourself, I may try it). A couple of limp mode emergencies (catalytic converter went bad, had to replace, and then bad knock sensor), but the engine seems to be very strong.

      I was thinking along a similar line as to what you did.
      My only issue with that is that the engine has to be at operating temperature (hot) to get a good soak. By doing again after the 1st time the engine would have cooled down.

  • @alexgrant1979
    @alexgrant1979 2 роки тому +9

    Using the brake booster vacuum line is not really an option on modern GDI engines with a turbo, the manifold is under boost not vacuum. If you spray the cleaner in and the revs pickup then it will spit it out at you with the boost pressure, most turbo engines nowadays use a vacuum pump or if the brake booster line is on the manifold you only get vacuum when the engine revs are over idle speed and slowing down which causes the vacuum. Best place is either the hose after the air filter to the throttle or the pcv line to the air inlet before the turbo. Keep the revs at 1500rpm by jamming a stick on the gas pedal.

    @tssci6774 2 роки тому +43

    A lot of that cleaner ends up in the bottom your intake and does not get into the cylinders, if it does, probably in different amounts, These intakes are designed for air flow not liguids. You need to perform a double oil change after one of these services. Huge amounts of GDI abrasive soot contaminates the oil, and the misfires that occur when ingesting this mostly oil and solvents will also contaminate the oil. I have oil analysis before and after and it is alarming how much hard particulates end up in the oil. The particulates are smaller than the average full flow filter can catch, thus the reason to change oil. My tests show it takes 2 oil changes with 20-50 miles to get all the cleaner, fuel and soot out of the engine.

    • @tssci6774

      @@johnkelly4381 Wishful thinking. Only the very lightest hydrocarbon components will evaporate. These cleaners are made up of most low quality oil and will not evaporate.

      Realistically most people aren't going to maintain and empty catch cans, that's why they're perpetual non-starting points. Most cars have gotten better with carbon deposits through better engine design like cooled EGR. But good luck if it's a VW turbo though, those still seem to be the ones that carbon up the fastest.
