Can you please explain to me difference between sticking a tube directly into manifold as opposed to more accepted approach of disassembling the whole air intake and capping off one end while putting the tube into the other that goes to turbo and intercooler (if I'm not mistaken)
@@Mechani_Cole Hey, first thank you for the quick reply! One last question please. Is there some danger of doing it through the vaporous exit into the intake (at least I think that's it). The perforated tube just above your cap. I've seen a guy doing it that way and it seems the simplest way aside from having a dedicated cap like you did. I attached the time code so you can see where exactly he sticks the tube in. Thanks! :) th-cam.com/video/is2uFUY8Rns/w-d-xo.html
@@Mechani_Cole Thanks, but I don't have that luxury or knowledge to do it that way. If this isn't something that can mess up motor I'd go this route for simplicity's sake. Only thing I need to know is that it will get all parts of the engine.
I think that's the same 2.0 tsi engine I have in my Scirocco. I have the exact intake manifold but that rubber part you took off is not on my manifold for some reason.
Locate the evap service port of your vehicle, make and model, and then insert it in there. It should have a little screw cap on it like a tire valve stem
A quick note on these Chinese evap testers. They put out way to much pressure for evap testing. The maximum pressure for the evap system is .5 psi or around 13.0 in. H20. The Ancel is putting out way over .5 psi. Anything over 7 psi can damage pressure sensors and or blow off hoses. 14 psi is OK for intake and exhaust testing but way to high for evap.
This will not and has not damaged any sensors or blew any hoses off in the 8 years that I have been smoke testing. Most people know not to run it full blast. But if an evap smoke test blew a hose or a sensor, then clearly there was other issues at hand
Me too! Lol, I actually have a clip I wish I could upload where I made a smoke tester out of an air mattress pump and a large GREEN bowl for smoke haha

I’m so happy with how easy these parts are to change

That's what I do on most models. However, I saw an easy access point on this model and took that route. Same concept

@Frostensen should be fine. I'd still prefer to do it through the intake after the air box

the cap on back can i replace that clamp w a screw on hose clamp or does it have to be crimped
Regular clamp works just fine

If it's not there you can use the intake or any other port leading in
@@Mechani_Cole Thanks man, I appreciate it.
What is the cap you removed from the intake?
Just a little intake cap. Some intakes have them on, some dont
Cool. I just picked up this unit for 93 bucks and it came with a free inflatable bladder as a promotion.
That's awesome. Thanks for sharing🫡
Great little tester!
I said that this type of machine also works for gasoline leaks I would like to know in which hose to put the smoke
Pretty much any fuel line. But you should be able to see the gas coming out too
Where do you connect for evap? 455 error. Large leak

Nice.
Awesome
but , why you test ava leak like engine leak ?
Huh?
Mineral oil works just as well and cheaper than baby oil.
I used what I had so it was free
@Mechani_Cole Great I was just letting others know of another option.

I prefer the stogie method

You could find with air compressor included for same money.
Yeah I did notice some of those too, pretty cool👍🏻
Can you send a link for one? Thanks
I recently just got this one with a built in compressor, pretty nice! amzn.to/3SJou0Q
