2015 1.6 GDI Soul installed an oil catch can when I changed pcv valve. Supposed to help keep valves cleaner cuz they don't have fuel going past them,but just oil from pcv
My Toyota engine has another set of injectors to spray the intake valves as well as the gdi injectors for just that problem. Hope it works
Good day too yoo too!
Wow a cleaning service is cheaper then a Low pressure fuel pump 😳 some customers just make your scratch your head @Rainman Ray's Repairs
I'm so glad to know that one of the tests for a stuck PCV valve is the same one on my first car which was a 67 Lincoln-pull it and see if it rattles.
What would cause the PCV valve to clog that badly? Is that a trait of GDI engines? What about using synthetic oil or high octane fuel?
The guy got off cheap would you just cleaning the PTV valve and being honest about it he could have sprung for an engine cleaning service it would have helped the car bunch sometimes you know pennywise and pound foolish even so he would have been money ahead versus getting a fuel pump installed I guarantee it have a good day bye
those intake valves get FILTHY on those Kia/Hyundais with direct injection
These things are junk.
Looks like a job for a pipe cleaner on the PVC.
And don't forget to
Have a great day! ðŸ‘
GM 3.6l V6 alloytec motors were notorious for having undersized holes in the right side PCV valve that would gunk up. Once clogged, this would create issues with the timing chain tensioners, and of course the timing chains. They changed the hole sizes in late 2014. Prior to that, people in the know would drill the 2 bottom holes out to 5/32" and the top hole to 7/32"
I'm more curious about what caused that valve to contaminate that much? I'm sure it will happen again if not fixed
I really appreciate the thorough cleaning you gave that PCV, but I doubt the customer would mind if you replaced that $5 item with a new one.
Ok 🤷 apparently I have a higher level of OCD than you have displayed in so many vids 😅…I was and am, highly annoyed that you didn't aligned that valve cover tubing with it's seating 😑
I want to have a cleaning done on my 16,000 mile 2018 Focus. All short trips, 9 miles or less. I'm sure it needs to be done. I wonder how much it costs?
I don’t even know why you touched this car
How disappointing 😞 I was looking forward to smoke.
Some people are just cheap.
3:53 …. how about a blocked fuel filter
Absolutely wish there were more mechanics like you Ray. Thanks for sharing.
A major reason for the carbon build up is likely the same reason that little engine has reached 190k – it’s almost never been over 3500 rpm
You forgot to put some cleaner in the tank.
I don't blame the customer – I had a cleaning done a few years ago on an 05 Corolla after a diag – $500 job, did not come close to fixing the issue. Done right a cleaning may work but I am jaded now – next time I will just dump a can of Sea Foam in!
Distracted driving is one of the reasons that causes collisions while driving. Hope the best for you. Happy New Year 😀
What brand of additives do you use
My experience with cleaned PCV valves is they need replacing within a couple of thousand miles anyway. The carbon buildup accelerates corrosion on the spring and the spring now exposed again soon breaks.
I thought I read somewhere that modern gas has so many new cleaning agents in it that carbon build up was never a problem. That seems to be obviously wrong.
My favorite part at 6:17 Nice….this my kind of POV action! hahaha
use your brain instead of y0ur tool
