    As a fellow sx4 owner in Ontario, I consider this channel to be my crystal ball into the future. I've been doing pretty much every repair you've shared on this channel... Now I know where to look first if I start losing coolant, hahah.

      Yep. I have the SX4’s elder sister the Aerio. Many similarities. Evap and fuel system has been a perennial headache for me.

    Nice diag. 👍 I appreciate your attention to detail and patience to verify it. Conclusive evidence is a reward in itself.

      Thank you. Honestly I have squandered a ton of money over the decades. A little extra time on verification is far more economical than speculation. Even “educated” guesses are still guesses. Thx for watching 🍻

    Nice find. Way way better than a head gasket!!

    Hello. Excellent video. This is exactly what is happening to me on my SX4 1.6, but my leak is in the upper radiator tank, I discovered it a couple of days ago. One question, can I put a radiator sealant (Liquimoly, Prestone, etc.) until I can buy a new radiator? And another question, where can I get the SX4 service manual? Thank you so much. Greetings from Chile.

      I have never had any luck with cooling system sealers, I haven’t used them in many years. There is a video on the radiator replacement on the channel if you are interested.
      Repairmanualnow.com for a PDF download. About $30 USD. Thx for watching 🍀🍻

      Yeah might work. Think I’ll just replace it. I don’t like anything leaking on my purdy driveway 😁
