I use petroleum jelly as assembly lube when building transmissions at work.i walk into a store buy 2 big tubs of Vaseline and walk out.the cashier always looks horrified .
Eric, we could easily hear that leak noise between the 12:30 and 13:00 of the video, also can't blame the customer for wanting to replace their own parts, at least you diagnosed the problem, that is what counts
30 yrs ago I lived in a small town in nw Florida. Mechanic there named Billy, one of the best mechanics I've ever known, knew that I couldn't afford much of anything. He would diagnose the problem on my vehicle, charge me very little for doing it, give me tips on how to repair it. I'd go buy a Chilton or Haynes manual and repair it myself. Wonderful guy. Any time I heard someone needed a mechanic, I'd send them to him. Was the least I could do. I wasn't the only one he did things like that for.
Thanks for posting. I just found an evap leak, Santa Fe . Same deal. Blocked vent with vise grips, used smoke machine. Cracked around bolt hole, had moisture too. Excellent video, really helped.
That's awesome that we get to hear the evap leak via a piece of rubber hose. You taught me a new trick I didn't know today, about using the hose like a stethoscope. Now I've used long pull handles and extensions and what not to listen for knocks and pings through an engine block or valve cover or head, also like a stethoscope.
Everytime.. I hit the thumbs up as the video starts and not one time have I been disappointed. Thanks Mr.O and Mrs. O for going to the store without question :)
Great job as usual today and I learned some more things to complicate my world. Do my own stuff and family because of been messed with at other shops and dealer service. Appreciate you man and marvelous helper!
How dare he do that!! Doesn't he realize you have a TH-cam audience that wants to see a repair through to the end? Stop being nice Eric, if you diagnose the problem, you have to repair the problem!! Thanks as always for sharing
I have to say I was worried that you were hooking up your battery charger wrong at first glance. But then I saw the red battery cable was hooked to ground. I wonder who thought that was a good idea? And I thought Dodge, I mean Ram, I mean Chrysler, uh, Fiat?, Stellantis?, whoever they are now had wonderful engineers.
My Sentra has an intermittent evap leak somewhere, and I know it's not the cap because I had to replace it when it stopped clicking and would freewheel, made fill-ups challenging. I'll wait to chase the leak until it totally breaks, which will probably be right before inspection time. I also have to replace the subframe bushings and I'm pretty sure one of the exhaust flanges rusted out because it sounds like a ricer in the morning.
i always use a bit of petrol pipe to tune multiple carbs that,s how i was shown in the 60, when i did my apprenticeship and used it ever since and i use a long screwdriver to listen to noises old git too tight to spend money on fancy tools.
Ya, I was freaking out a bit when he hooked up the black charger wire to the red ground wire... Felt kind of dumb after realizing it was ok because it was a red ground wire. Felt way better when he almost hooked the smoke machine backwards.
@@karlaerdmann7830 Yeah, really bad practice -- sends all the wrong visual clues, and is about the quickest way to ensure someone, someday, is going to connect a battery charger/jumper-cables around the wrong way =^/
So you got the Rona Eric, I'm glad you're ok. The Rona hit our house and took my father and my wife of 38 years with. My wife used to alert me when you post a new video. She will yell, Hey babe, your bromance just posted another video! I miss them dearly. Your video always put a smile on my face. Thanks Eric. P.S. can't wait to get my zip up SMA hoodie.
I am not 100% sure if it applies to the vlosters but when i worked as a hyundai tech for a short while, there existed a TSB/recall for the canisters cracking around the mounting bolts creating evap leaks.
My wife wouldn't ask because she would probably think we were gonna have some vodeo doe doe, but either item wouldn't really be out of play in that regard...
My guess is it's not the first time he has sent her to the store for baby oil. It would seem Vanessa has been around cars and her car guy most of her adult life. She knew why he needed it. :D
That is truly sad, Mrs O prepares those fabulous lunches, over which we are all jealous, & you do not taste the fruits of her efforts. So pack it up, send it to me, I"ll provide a full culinary report. 🗽🗽👌👌
My brother's car got its entire wiring harness melted because of that, a buddy was jumping their car using his and didn't pay attention. Should be illegal to have red ground cable.
I had a brand new 2012 Velostar and it was the single most trouble-ridden car I have ever owned. Can you believe the harmonic balancer fell off in the middle of the road on a brand new car? The bolt sheared off. Dealer wouldn't even get me a rental and it could have been a deadly situation on the freeway. Headlights burned out once a year (both left and right) and there was a recall on the sunroof (random shattering) and brakes. The automatic transmission shifted like a bucking horse and I was told repeatedly that was 'normal'. I could go on, but between the dealer and the manufacturer, I'll never own another Hyundai. Even the 'required service' intervals (advertised in the service area of the dealership) was a complete ripoff with the threat of voiding your warranty if you don't pay for 'inspections' every 30,000 miles (each one about twice the cost of the other for VISUAL inspections that result in the dealer making warranty money from the manufacturer. Talk about double dipping!) Got a new 2013 V6 Mustang a year later and it has never needed a repair (just maintenance items). Still have the Mustang, with the shorter warranty that was never needed, and dumped the Veloster with the 10 year warranty that was constantly needed!
@@SimpleLife1971 Just the idea that a dealer tech would call a harmonic balancer, a "wear" item, is just ridiculous on its face. That's like buying a new car, and the next day the wheels fall off. Then the dealer tells you, tires are a "wear" item, sorry not covered. Or maybe buying a new car and the door falls off the hinges. Sorry, the door is a wear item.
@@jtjones4727 My wife and two daughters bought NEW Hyundai's including their 10 year bumper to bumper warranty. I an attest this additional coverage which cost them an additional $1,350 at the time covered NOTHING in the first 3 years of ownership. My youngest daughter had both front strut coil springs BREAK within the first 18 months and they were considered a NORMAL WEAR ITEM. Next to politicians and lawyers, car salesman and car dealerships are the scum of the earth and will literally lie/swindle you out of thousands for profit and commission.
you spent time diagnosing that rusty piece of crap and then he didn't let you do the work! What's his name and address we will go have a talk with him :)
Great video Mr O! I kinda miss the real long videos. I know your a busy man so I will take what I can get. You and Mrs O are like the favorite part of the family I only get to spend a little time with. Your awesome! By the way, I got into the mechanic business because of your videos. All certified as if yesterday. When you say, if I can do it, you can do it is my chant now. Thanks for all you do!
Wow, been ages since you had to finish off a video from home. Sorry to hear about the 'rona...must suck that you can't taste that Yuengling you're drinking :(
Hi, Mr. O. Granny's hose trick worked very well. Another similar trick is grampa's stick trick. Get something similar to a 1/4 inch dowel. (It doesn't have to be straight.) Touch one end to find a noise and press the other end to your ear. It works to find engine taps, knocks, and squeaks. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!
Thank you Eric! My son bought a 2013 Veloster Turbo in the summer of 2019. It's always had this EVAP code, and we were at the point where we were going to have to have it smoke tested to find the leak. When I saw your video and you spoke about the TSB I was pretty sure this could be the problem. Before ordering any parts we visually inspected the vapor canister on his car and sure enough it was cracked just like the one on the video and showed signs of wetness around the crack. Based off of all of the other components testing ok and the condition of the EVAP canister we replaced the canister. It took about three to four times driving it for it to complete all of the monitors but it finally completed the EVAP monitor with no problems. Thank you Eric O for all of the great content and helping us home mechanics work on our own cars.
If you like Yingling, you will love Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA. I do (both). Just had my TPMS light on. Was 3 degrees in Waterville Valley, NH. Drove down the hill from there to home in South Carolina and light went out. Was thinking of visiting.
that's the nice part abour where i live, no inspections so many times mechanics here just ignore those evap leaks. just like the cat converters, we usually just take them off when they cause trouble
Diagnostic and estimate only ! Minimum charge 4 hours. (Unless we get to supply parts and do the required repairs) You would never bring your lunch to your favorite restaurant.
I'm talk by the hose yes I could here the leak jTiny bubbles in the canister makes me say replace you have got the dollars to replace it. Or JB Weld for a quick fix.
Thanks for sharing! My smell still not back after the rona a year ago.. very annoying not to be able to smell as well as I used to.. I sure expected my hearing and vision to start going, but not smell and taste.. great job man, good choice of beverage as well!
Eric.. of course there's always a HAPPY ENDING!!!... especially if it includes baby oil and liquid hand soap LOL... thanks also for the hose air leak tip too... Stu from New Zealand

Awesome TH-cam plaque in the background!
The hose thing was funny! Who else would think to let us hear a leak with a piece of hose. Cheers.
Wow. Hose trick was fantastic.
Another great video Eric. Glycerine from the baking aisle of the supermarket will create lots of white smoke without leaving any residue.
that hose trick is awesome buddy!!!!!
Everytime.. I hit the thumbs up as the video starts and not one time have I been disappointed. Thanks Mr.O and Mrs. O for going to the store without question :)
Great job as usual today and I learned some more things to complicate my world. Do my own stuff and family because of been messed with at other shops and dealer service. Appreciate you man and marvelous helper!
Definitely heard the leak, nice trick. Hope you and your family is well after the Rona
Awesome using the hose, best vid yet!
I love these Velosters, the Veloster N in particular is honestly an extremely fun drive.
Waiting to pick one up on the used market soonish.
yes we can hear the leak through the hose.. great idea to do in the camera mic =) great video
I can't get that beer in il. . So good love it !
Another cool tip - the hose to hear the leak. Another great video!
Love it when you do the "enhance, enhance, enhance" gets me laughing every time. Eric you are the best to watch for sure🤘
Nice one.anyone who talks through a rubber hose is on my team.
Hell yeah Eric we could hear a good I could that's pretty neat trick thanks for the tip keep it up Mr Eric and Mrs o
I think this is a first to capture a live EVAP leak on camera. :) Love the videos.
There is a recall on the evap canister. Service Campaign 958 Dealer Best Practice - NHTSA.
138-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder
#1 tell customer to sell it now!
How dare he do that!! Doesn't he realize you have a TH-cam audience that wants to see a repair through to the end? Stop being nice Eric, if you diagnose the problem, you have to repair the problem!! Thanks as always for sharing
One of the cars I worked on today. Lol. Alternator swap took 35 minutes
my man w the yeungling. hes got taste. wish theyd ship to the left coast...
great choice on the beer! I wish we had that in my area!!!
wow, educational
As always great video

Baby oil excellent for back rubs
I have to say I was worried that you were hooking up your battery charger wrong at first glance. But then I saw the red battery cable was hooked to ground. I wonder who thought that was a good idea? And I thought Dodge, I mean Ram, I mean Chrysler, uh, Fiat?, Stellantis?, whoever they are now had wonderful engineers.
Ah getting the ebay parts! Heel be back
I think the If I can do , you can do it applied to this job, cuz it looks like the customer is going to do it.😉

back in the day (or at least my day) up your nose with a rubba hose!
He should have let you fix it. My guess is that he will be back.
Hello Eric $$$$$$$$$ in the money !!
As the Grinch would say. It's leaking 🤣
Is that the standard scrolling finger for the Alltel interface?
i always use a bit of petrol pipe to tune multiple carbs that,s how i was shown in the 60, when i did my apprenticeship and used it ever since and i use a long screwdriver to listen to noises old git too tight to spend money on fancy tools.
Drinking a Yuengling Lager at the end too. That's why you're the best Eric, thanks for the video!
Rubber pads between coil and module's miss that problem girl
Every time my wife asks me to buy cucumbers I also buy Vaseline because I don't want the cashier to think I am a vegan...
Now that is funny right there. Yep, already copied, ready to paste.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"That's when you know... they've given up on you." That was spit-take worthy, there. Thanks as always, Eric.
Gotta love the red colored batt negative lead =)
No joke
Ya, I was freaking out a bit when he hooked up the black charger wire to the red ground wire... Felt kind of dumb after realizing it was ok because it was a red ground wire. Felt way better when he almost hooked the smoke machine backwards.

I am not 100% sure if it applies to the vlosters but when i worked as a hyundai tech for a short while, there existed a TSB/recall for the canisters cracking around the mounting bolts creating evap leaks.
The new updated canister has brass inserts instead of mild steel.
Good call, it looks like it does. TSB 17-01-003-1
I just came down to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned it. I've replaced so many for this reason!
Same principle as a stethoscope
I have a stethoscope with a long plastic tube on the end. A real tool, though I nicknamed it rectal-stethoscope. 😏
Love the evap videos, great job, nice tip using rubber hose to "hear" the leak. Great job Eric O
"baby oil and some coffee creamer, and she doesn't even ask". Quite a good companion you got there, Mr O. Laughed out loud at this one
Next time ask her to buy a box of Trojans, see if that elicits a comment.
My wife wouldn't ask because she would probably think we were gonna have some vodeo doe doe, but either item wouldn't really be out of play in that regard...
Eric oils up his six pack abs to look like Putin
the interactions between Mr. and Mrs. O are a huge part of the SMA video's appeal.

Gotta love the red battery cable for ground. You had me scared for a second.
I saw that and thought, boy great idea there.
My brother's car got its entire wiring harness melted because of that, a buddy was jumping their car using his and didn't pay attention. Should be illegal to have red ground cable.
Did you just put black on red and red on black?? Ohh...
Thats says allot for the quality when cant event get industry wide color codes for battery ground and power right
Before he made the connection, I was staring at that wiring wondering if it was a positive-ground system. Nope. Just worked over by a DIY experience.
This was the best ending ever. Got the beer and the TH-cam play button. He really is human.
i'm kind of a big deal around here
He has earned that silver Google play button plaque 5x over.

See your enjoying my home town brewed beverage. Know you can't taste it but it still the Lager of choice.
What's that TH-cam plaque for? Most rusted cars? =) but seriously whats it for?
not surprised he bailed on the fix... but i got $10 that says, he'll be back after messes up the seat and has an airbag go off in his face........
Eric, you've got to write a book and call it "What my mee maw taught me"
"Looks like a fifteen year old with a vape." LOL. That got me.

Oh man a year!? Ughhh I've been a month and really miss food haha
The closed captions call it the "Avocado Smoker" - an appropriate name.
I didn't think anyone else used baby oil and coffee creamer. Secrets out now!
Yuengling EH, I drink it sometimes. Really good on tap.
Don’t know what engine but Rest assured it’s big. Hilarious.
I'll have to try that hose trick in the future, didn't think of that....
So baby oil and coffee creamer for the 'smoka' ? Sounds like a really cheap alternative.
Eric.. of course there's always a HAPPY ENDING!!!... especially if it includes baby oil and liquid hand soap LOL... thanks also for the hose air leak tip too... Stu from New Zealand
Going to get his own parts and do it himself, he will screw something up and it'll be right back
