Excellent teacher. I dont have the problem but I like to learn proactively too. Thanks for the video
The information to the editing was perfect great job
Loved the way you presented the entire video! Thank you for the information!!!
The vacuum trick was cool awesome 😊
Wow, such great info. Thank you
Awesome informatio & tutorial.
Put my truck in the ditch a few days ago. Smelled exhaust today while driving, time to do this test, thanks.
Love the shop vac trick
Nice!
That’s a nice trick instead of using your hands and feeling for a leak potentially burning them
Perfect! Easy and logical. Nice 'trick' with the vacuum. See exactly the same problem on Honda CRVs, the compressed wire mesh gaskets rot out all the time 🙂
Can you spray the pipe down with an undercoat?? to get it to last longer in the rust belt like me in Massachusetts
can you do the shopvac process to the engine bay?
On my 2010 Outback, it was the "variable valve lift diagnosis oil pressure switch" (one on each side) that was leaking oil. Smelled like propane until I replaced it.
is it okay if i only smell it on the other ones ? i dont smell it on defrost
since spraying soapy water all over my exhaust to locate the exhaust leak, i smell a dish-detergent kind of smell mixed with exhaust now when its defrosting, any way you guys could do a follow up video for that?
+@imakedookie We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
My problem with the exhaust smell coming in via defroster, that operation opens the plenum or whatever part that diverts the air, from what I normally run “recirculate in the cabin” to “use air from outside” and I smell exhaust, skunk, whatever the heck pooopersville from outside. Does this not go through the cabin air filter? Gah! I’m always switching the defrost on and then off and closing the outside air to recirc.
I don’t smell exhaust when there’s no cars/trucks running in front of me.
I am assuming that a leak in exhaust will cause Check engine light....
Catalytic converter is rusted but the bolts are not🤔
What if you smell exhaust when the vehicle is floored on the highway
+@PorcheGT3 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Heck yeah, lady mechanics! I once took my car to a shop ran by just 5 women. Super awesome :D
Anti-seize never goes on the female threads, every time I see a video about automotive does somebody doing something really stupid. That anti-seize goes on the threads of the O2 sensor only
Now all I need is a car lift...
