You'll still need something to clear those codes and a good code puller like he has is $300. The much cheaper ones are hit or miss. So instead of spending $200 once you night as well get a code scanner and have that as a tool for the future. Nothing gives used car dealers more anxiety than a guy with his own legit scanner.

I’m closing in on 100k on the original engine. The car runs well and gets 35 MPG. I have been replacing the PCV valve every 30k miles as other Kia owners have advised. No oil loss, no catalytic converter issues, and no noise under the hood. One caveat is that all the maintenance guidelines in the manual only apply to “normal” driving conditions. It says change oil every 7500 miles. However, I do it every 3750.

@jimcady9309 6 ай бұрын

I bought mine (2012 base 1.6 liter 6 speed manual) at 110,000 miles. I've crossed the 190,000 mile mark. Oil consumption issues (probably related to carbon build up. I've had the dealership do their cleaning procedures. Seeing how easy it is to do yourself, I may try it). A couple of limp mode emergencies (catalytic converter went bad, had to replace, and then bad knock sensor), but the engine seems to be very strong.

@alexgrant1979 2 жыл бұрын

Using the brake booster vacuum line is not really an option on modern GDI engines with a turbo, the manifold is under boost not vacuum. If you spray the cleaner in and the revs pickup then it will spit it out at you with the boost pressure, most turbo engines nowadays use a vacuum pump or if the brake booster line is on the manifold you only get vacuum when the engine revs are over idle speed and slowing down which causes the vacuum. Best place is either the hose after the air filter to the throttle or the pcv line to the air inlet before the turbo. Keep the revs at 1500rpm by jamming a stick on the gas pedal.

A lot of that cleaner ends up in the bottom your intake and does not get into the cylinders, if it does, probably in different amounts, These intakes are designed for air flow not liguids. You need to perform a double oil change after one of these services. Huge amounts of GDI abrasive soot contaminates the oil, and the misfires that occur when ingesting this mostly oil and solvents will also contaminate the oil. I have oil analysis before and after and it is alarming how much hard particulates end up in the oil. The particulates are smaller than the average full flow filter can catch, thus the reason to change oil. My tests show it takes 2 oil changes with 20-50 miles to get all the cleaner, fuel and soot out of the engine.

@tssci6774 2 жыл бұрын

@@johnkelly4381 Wishful thinking. Only the very lightest hydrocarbon components will evaporate. These cleaners are made up of most low quality oil and will not evaporate. Use a USB camera for your phone and stick it down the throttlebody, the bottom of intake is covered with oil. Use GMs upper cylinder cleaner, less than 5% oil.

Realistically most people aren't going to maintain and empty catch cans, that's why they're perpetual non-starting points. Most cars have gotten better with carbon deposits through better engine design like cooled EGR. But good luck if it's a VW turbo though, those still seem to be the ones that carbon up the fastest.

@@stuntmonkey00 even GM puts in a basic catch can/separator, GM says nothing, services techs say and do nothing, although there isa TSB, never checks, it clogs up, freezes and blows the rear seal $1550, or the engine. In deep freezes, the service bays are full of cars with ecotecs. Almost like they like the extra business. The advisors are told not talk about unless asked.

Scotty, When I worked at Sears Auto (Advanced Tech) we were told Not use the Brake Booster Hose. Never got an answer why? Theories were that the Chemical could Deteriorate the Hose. Or they were worried about Liability. I did that using Seafoam years ago on previous cars. Trying to grab a Vacuum line Behind the T-Body so that it distributed more eveningly.

I have used CDI Injecton cleaner on my 2017 Escape 1.5 Turbo and my wifes 2107 Equinox 2.5. Can states to do the cleaning on a GDI engine every 10 to 15 thousand miles. What they tell you to do,and you didnt do it for the correct time frame....get car up to operating temp , hold the idle at 2500 rpm... spray in ALL the can with short bursts ,try not to kill the engine, when the can is empty, shut off the car and let it " heat soak " into the valves for 1 hour. Then, after 1 hour, get it out on the hwy as quickly as possible and up to speed. It should belch out a ton of white/grey smoke as your driving 60/65 mph. rev up as you drive ,slow down to legal limit,kick in the gas pedal to go faster ,then slow back down. drive for about 30 minuets. You should be ok after that. Yes, your check engine light may come on, or flicker, but I was hearing pieces of the the carbon breaking up and passing thru my turbo into the cat. and smoking like hell ...for about 10 seconds.... and my car only had 26,000 miles on it. Did the same to wifes, same reaction,she had 32,000 miles. Smoked like hell, you hear the carbon breaking up and bouncing thu the exhaust. DO NOT FOLLOW THE MANUAL on recomended service of this item... if you do, you will trash and probably destroy your engine... Do it every 10,000 -15,000 miles.... just as a side note.... do it sooner if you have a turbo, becouse you can seriously damage the fins of the turbo as the carbon breaks apart, if they are large pieces. and is injested in it. Both cars ran better, smoother and got better MPG after doing this. FYI... On most cars/trucks, now you buy and install a catch can for this problem. it catches the misting oil,water vapor ect.. in a can installed in the PCV line,before it goes into the engine.Not sure if ya need to do the cleaning if ya have the catch can installed. I installed a decent on on The Escape, (kit was made FOR my car) in about 10 minuets.... was shocked how much muk it caught on a 1000 mile trip. To clean the can ,just unscrew it, wipe it out , and screw it back in to place .

@patrickmccready7050 2 жыл бұрын

The issue was a logic module that allowed to cause the cat to overheat. Material would break loose and get somehow brought back into the cylinder (not sure how) causing ring and piston failure. Some vehicles threw a rod and the oil hit the exhaust casing a fire. The recall actually to do a software update to stop a rich condition. If the converter shows signs of overheating then it’s replaced and engine is inspected for internal damage. All vehicles had a 15-150k engine warranty extension regardless.
