    30 yrs ago I lived in a small town in nw Florida. Mechanic there named Billy, one of the best mechanics I've ever known, knew that I couldn't afford much of anything. He would diagnose the problem on my vehicle, charge me very little for doing it, give me tips on how to repair it. I'd go buy a Chilton or Haynes manual and repair it myself. Wonderful guy. Any time I heard someone needed a mechanic, I'd send them to him. Was the least I could do. I wasn't the only one he did things like that for.

    Hi, Mr. O. Granny's hose trick worked very well. Another similar trick is grampa's stick trick. Get something similar to a 1/4 inch dowel. (It doesn't have to be straight.) Touch one end to find a noise and press the other end to your ear. It works to find engine taps, knocks, and squeaks. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!

    Thank you Eric! My son bought a 2013 Veloster Turbo in the summer of 2019. It's always had this EVAP code, and we were at the point where we were going to have to have it smoke tested to find the leak. When I saw your video and you spoke about the TSB I was pretty sure this could be the problem. Before ordering any parts we visually inspected the vapor canister on his car and sure enough it was cracked just like the one on the video and showed signs of wetness around the crack. Based off of all of the other components testing ok and the condition of the EVAP canister we replaced the canister. It took about three to four times driving it for it to complete all of the monitors but it finally completed the EVAP monitor with no problems. Thank you Eric O for all of the great content and helping us home mechanics work on our own cars.

    I had a brand new 2012 Velostar and it was the single most trouble-ridden car I have ever owned. Can you believe the harmonic balancer fell off in the middle of the road on a brand new car? The bolt sheared off. Dealer wouldn't even get me a rental and it could have been a deadly situation on the freeway. Headlights burned out once a year (both left and right) and there was a recall on the sunroof (random shattering) and brakes. The automatic transmission shifted like a bucking horse and I was told repeatedly that was 'normal'. I could go on, but between the dealer and the manufacturer, I'll never own another Hyundai. Even the 'required service' intervals (advertised in the service area of the dealership) was a complete ripoff with the threat of voiding your warranty if you don't pay for 'inspections' every 30,000 miles (each one about twice the cost of the other for VISUAL inspections that result in the dealer making warranty money from the manufacturer. Talk about double dipping!) Got a new 2013 V6 Mustang a year later and it has never needed a repair (just maintenance items). Still have the Mustang, with the shorter warranty that was never needed, and dumped the Veloster with the 10 year warranty that was constantly needed!

That's like buying a new car, and the next day the wheels fall off. Then the dealer tells you, tires are a "wear" item, sorry not covered. Or maybe buying a new car and the door falls off the hinges. Sorry, the door is a wear item.

      5" PVC pipe. 2 threaded PVC cleanout plugs. Nuts, bolts and washers for terminals. Propane regulator and air line adapters. Threaded hose barbs. Nichrome wire (the stuff for building vape coils works well). Tiki torch wicks. Mineral oil. Glue the PVC together to make a container. Drill and tap 2 holes for the hose barbs. One around the middle of the pipe and one on the top cleanout plug. Then do some math and trial and error to figure out proper resistance and length of the nichrome wire. Wrap it around the middle of the torch wick. Position the wick in a U shape so the ends of the wick are at the bottom of the pipe with the wire coil in the middle. Works best if the air from the air inlet is blowing across the wire coil. Drill 2 holes in the top for the bolts and washers to make terminals for the nichrome wire. Use 3 nuts per bolt. 1 to secure the wire against the bolt head and 2 to fasten the bolt to the top plug leaving a gap to isolate the wire from the PVC. Fill pipe part way with mineral oil. Connect regulator attached to air compressor to inlet side and a plain hose to the outlet. Power it using the car battery. If all is good, you'll have a smoke machine. This is how I did it.

    Don't ya just love it, you diagnose and the customer does the fix. Then some customers non-mechanic type come back to haunt you when they replace the parts and make a mistake and blame YOU - and say that didn't fix it. - LOL

    I sure am glad we dont have problems with rust like you do. I noticed 1 small spot on the rocker panel of my 2014 pick up the other day and it did not make me happy. Good job on finding that evap leak Eric....

    Avoca Smoker strikes again. i was with a lady friend at our local DG. I grabbed a bottle of baby oil and she gave me the look. Then asked WTF is that for. I tried to explain how the evap smoke machine works and what it is used for. Again with the look. I had to show her one of your videos using the Avoca smoker to keep me out of the dog house. 🤣🤣🤣

    The rubber hose idea to hear the tiny leak was genius. This is the second canister I have seen fail for Kia. They crack around the bolts. The new replacement has brass bolts, I think. Thanks!

    Damn man, great job spotting that little clean spot on the canister. It kinda sucks when you use your diag tools and your experience to pinpoint the problem and then don't get to do the job. I know that's what diag charges are there for, but it does sting a little.

    • @davidpawlowski2997
      @davidpawlowski2997 2 роки тому

      Eric. Make your diag charge $$$$$, larger !! If u get the whole job, which u should, u can lower the total price a lil, because you ' like ' the customer, .CHEAP Chislers will put u out of BIZ.. You have to pay expenses, turn a profit, & have some $$ left to invest in any tools, equipment etc that is needed to keep current with the auto industry. OR, tell customer up FRONT. you do the whole job , thus u can guarantee the service ticket.OR take their car to another shop. You have only so many years to turn wrenches, physically, CHARGE MORE!!!!!!!!

    Those bolts on that canister were
    in bad shape Eric, you get diagnostic
    time and he gets the headache of
    removing and replacing a canister,
    plus he gets the Hassel of removing
    the seat, getting the cover off and
    replacing the bladder, yeah!!!
    Thats a win win for you!!!!!!

    Hose idea to hear sound was a good idea.
