Well this weekend I tested the head gasket. Took the family up north (2 hours drive each way), 80mph uphill gave the motor a good workout. Happy...
@ChapmanF that makes total sense, thank you for clarifying!
@Mendel Leisk I'm glad I wasn't the only one! I'm still not sure what is the purpose of the "ramp", I think it just might be stronger/easier to...
I don't know, how do I get it? How can I check. I think I found that my issue was actually the ramp looking plastic inside the EGR Valve magnet...
I didn't know that, I will make sure to tell my wife, hopefully we can avoid it in the future, thank you for all your help @rjparker
Alright, went to take the magnet out of the car’s EGR valve, didn’t do it last night because the car was too hot. The car has been parked for 4-5...
It is too bad! I found one online for $150.16 (USD) + shipping so here it will be less than $200.00, still a lot of money for a little tiny piece...
Interesting question, what do you think @ChapmanF? If the cooler in my car is squeaky clean (at least for the time being) I would imagine it...
I wanted to check the magnet on the EGR valve currently installed in the car which I believe is the original one. Went with the family to get some...
@ChapmanF thank you so much for taking the time to explain it to me. What would be your theory as to why does the ski jump (ramp) deteriorates?...
@ChapmanF Thank you for the help, do you mind explaining (or pointing me to the post that does explain if it has already been done) how the ramp...
Thank you @ChapmanF, I'm not so sure about the hot knife (never tried doing something similar to that). I have a "plastic welding gun" that I have...
Hello @Mendel Leisk, how did I miss that! Thank you and sorry! (Edit: I just realized you just posted that response to a comment on mine a just...
I was reading another thread where @ChapmanF helped another forum member research and I believe fix his car’s issue. Could it be something as...
Hello @Rob Cameron, were you able to resolve the issue? My car is showing the P0401 CEL code a few weeks AFTER I did a (preventive, no issues, no...
1.- Yes, sorry I was not more specific. The small EGR passages where not obstructed at all, just a thin layer of build up. I cleaned them anyways...
I guess I will find out this weekend when I get my scanner, thank you RJParker!
Hello @Mendel Leisk, it was a typo, I think back then it had 180k (now has over 181k I believe). I went ahead and took advantage of a "cooler"...
Awesome! @rjparker , do you know if such test can performed with the Autel AP2000?
It’s been almost two months since the incident and the car seems to be running “fine”. No overheating whatsoever, oil and coolant levels stable,...
