Thread 512985758

It's been like this for a few weeks now. At first it would light up for a while and then light off. Now it's permanently on when I turn on the engine. Is there any solution without taking the car to the mechanic? These jews usually charge 200 euro to fix your shit

>>512985758 (OP)
Check the error menu to see what is the code and look up on internet

>>512985758 (OP)
If it's not flashing and it's driving fine it's not a big deal

Just go to the damn mechanic and eat the 200 Euro charge bro otherwise the problem will get worse and become a 4000 Euro charge

>>512985758 (OP)
sometimes its nothing, sometimes its a big something. you need to get more info somehow. like the other anon said, see if you can get the vehicle to give a more detailed code or something. i used to drive a semi that had that light on constantly. for 18 months. it was just some shit with the exhaust after treatment system that nobody cared about.

>>512985758 (OP)
Just buy a code reader on the internet, not expensive. It's usually something not to difficult to fix.

>>512985758 (OP)
It just means your engine is working. When the light isnt on that means your engine is missing thats why its called the "check engine light"

>>512985758 (OP)
usually you need an oil change, then catalytic converter or spark plugs

>>512985758 (OP)
i also had a small car that had its engine light on constantly. it was just some sensor in the exhaust that went wrong. but like this guy said >>512986328 try changing the oil and filter first. that can make a big difference.

>>512985758 (OP)
that means it's time for a gyros with a cafe frappe

I think you can buy readers that you plug in now which will let you know what's wrong exactly for pretty cheap. My buddy's a boy racer Initial D style and has one that hooks to an old laptop.

>>512985758 (OP)
O2 sensor

>>512985758 (OP)
You can buy an ODBII thing for it and then just plug it in under your dash and it will give you a code.

>>512985758 (OP)
Get an OB2 reader for like $30.
Google where to plug it in on your car.
Do so.
Google the code that pops up.

It can be anything from a simple spark plug to a $3000 transmission problem.

It means you need to install a boat motor on your car to turn it into an amphibian vehicle. Sometimes this happens with modern car.

Now that the problem is solved please come here ASAP we need you :

>>512986283
Exactly, it's the "Engine? Check!" Light

The yellow engine light means your car hasn't been driving hard enough. You need to drive it faster and then the engine will turn green.

>>512985758 (OP)
usually a sensor somewhere, go to a local mechanic or buy a reader

>>512985758 (OP)
If only 4chan had some sort of board for discussing autos.

>>512986846
this. It's great how they put the exposed on the underside of the car with very little protection to the wires leading into them. It's almost like they want them to break...

>>512985758 (OP)
>What does this usually mean?
That you're poor.

>>512987148
bro we're getting to the jews here just give it 10 more posts

Your car is horny.
That's the sign that it's the car's lady 'penis' is hard. You need to stick dick into muffler, only way.

>>512987148
cars are politically incorrect, they want to ban and neuter them all the time

>>512987205
drive a Ford

Go to any auto parts store like Autozone or something and tell them you need to have them pull a code. They'll do it for free, look up exactly what the code means, what part you'll need and how much it will cost. Impossible to know without pulling the code. Could just be a loose gas cap if you're lucky.

>>512987334
I do!

>>512985758 (OP)
it means you gotta drive it off a cliff
its telling you it wants to die

>>512985758 (OP)
your car became based and is now emitting criminal levels of CO2 in the air

>>512985758 (OP)
Disconnect your battery to reset it if you're too poor for a $12 scanner.

Your engine is aging, quite possibly dying

>>512987631
it's funny how much care went into sensing if the car is emitting evil c02 and very little into sensing if anything else is going wrong with the car. Got a knock? well too bad you should have fixed something 3 months ago now it's fucked

>>512985758 (OP)
get an obd2 reader with bluetooth and an app on your phone.

>>512985758 (OP)
ADD SAND TO GAS IT WILL FILTER THE APHIDS OUT

>>512985758 (OP)
You have an engine imbedded in your car. Engines are known to burn gasoline. not to worry though. Getting an engine removed is essential to saving gas in the tank.

>>512985758 (OP)
if it starts flashing you're in trouble

>>512985758 (OP)
Idk what auto stores you got in Greece but this anon, >>512987369 , is spot on.

>>512990232
jews don't want you to know this one simple trick. But you're supposed to pack the air intake behind the filter with sand if you really wanna get the aphids out.

>>512985758 (OP)
Look up the code and fix it yourself

>>512985758 (OP)
Probably an emissions thing, dunno if EU has a version of OBD but a diagnostic will tell you the issue. There should be a port to plug it in.

>>512985758 (OP)
Borrow a OBDII code reader and look up the code.

>>512985758 (OP)
I have this faggot light on for one year already. Took it to three different mechanics and after spending almost 1500$ it's still on. After resetting the computer it comes back exactly after 3 days. I have to register my car and it won't pass smog check. It's giving me EVAP code. I will try to replace vent valve that I recently replaced again and if that doesn't work I will need to get another car. Mechanics are Fucking kikes.

>>512986065
This. Probably a misfire weeks ago due to needing to put a bottle of fuel injector cleaner in your gaz tank. Probably just resetting the error status will.make it go away

>>512990822
You probably did this but did you change the gas cap?

>>512985758 (OP)
If the car looks, runs, sounds, feels, and smells normal, then a sensor probably went bad. Get an OB2 reader to figure out which one because a bad O2 sensor can kill your fuel efficiency.

>>512985758 (OP)
in america you can just take it to any autoparts store and they'll hook up a code scanner for free. the fun part is when its turns out to be a very vague code that could have dozens of expensive solutions

>>512990822
evap codes could be bunch of things, bad gas cap, vacuum leak, bad charcoal canister or a bad solenoid

>>512990822
I think I watxhed a vid where someone faked itnout by putting a bandpass filter vetween his O2 sensors on either side of his empty catylytic converter. I may not have understood it and it may not be the code you are talking about

>>512990822
What make, model, and obd2 code? Is your car old enough to re-register as classic in your state?

>>512985758 (OP)
What car is it? It's usualy an antipollution thingie that you don't care about, the car will work anyway.
Basic rule : if it's important, it's red, if not : orange.
Oil pressure would be pic rel but red.
Even then I bet you "antipollution goy system" still works fine and a $0.50 sensor is doing shit (which could be fixed with a simple reset like for the tires pressure thingie doing shit when it's cold or hot, read the manual).
tl;dr not red (WHILE DRIVING) = dun care
fuck computers

>>512991210
You are better off taking your car problems to a mechanic guy.

>>512991144
Yes. I went through 3 after market caps and 2 original ones. Changed purge valve and the one that's next to it. Changed filler neck then put original one back.

>>512985758 (OP)
Almost certainly just your gas cap is shitty.

>>512985758 (OP)
Just means something in the engine is running 20% inefficient.

Defeating the mechanic jew is political.

>>512991444
probably just ignore it. Who cares if miniscule amounts of gas vapour aren't being piped into the intake correctly?

>>512991306
They've put smoke through the system 3 times it doesn't leak. I'm changing the vent valve one last time and after that I'm giving up. I know if I get another used car it will have some problems too soon and after I fix them it will throw a check engine light on, fuck life.

>>512991415
> I overtorqued a lugnut so now your bearing is ruined
> I also reported your faulty catalytic converter to the EPA
> that'll be $600 for your tire rotation, sir
Fuck mechanics.

>>512991710
I can't register it. Every two years you have to smog it here and I have to do it this year this month.They will pull me over.

>>512985758 (OP)
Plug in a OBD and get the code. I had to change the bearing in the esg and it cost like $3 and twenty minutes.

>>512991415
buddy Ive been maintaining my owns cars for 15 years. never had a check engine light on longer than a week

>>512991829
Buy a scan tool from an auto parts store and reset the codes, the light should go off for about 100 miles driven so just reset the codes the day you are going in for smog.

>>512991720
>They've put smoke through the system 3 times it doesn't leak.
Well that's your issue, you're letting niggers diagnosis your car.
>>512991821
>reported to EPA
Memeflag faggot cuck state living take checks out.
I'll rob you of $600 for being a retard consooomer too.

>>512991829
>>512991906
or pay some shitty retard mechanic extra to pass it for you, lol

>>512991444
You might have some vapor leaking out of a hose connection. Do your fuel lines look alright (not rotted or rusty)? Does your car smell like fuel (even faintly) when it is ruining?

>>512991857
Do you want a cookie with brand new gold part you got famoosed to buy whch you installed or do you just wanna cry?

>>512992012
I learned my lesson a long time ago not to buy aftermarket parts, especially anything from ebay

>>512985758 (OP)
A nigger is stealing parts of your car

>>512991937
I repair my own car, nigger. I said about as much the last time a mechanic gave me a list of shit I had to correct to make my vehicle "safe" after I told him to replace a few worn tires.

>>512991937
Wheel works did too.
>>512991955
They charge 350 for under counter smog. Fuck that.
>>512992003
The guy said its most likely vent valve since he doesn't see any other leaks. Has to do something with building vacuum.

>>512992124
I'd rather not pay the core cost, the autozone consomuer tax, and salvage the old part. Yes, online parts are mostly china blueprints that are changed, but it's not hard to make them work and even store brands are all chinesium shit.

>>512985758 (OP)
If it's still driving fine, then it's something stupid like a misfire or faulty sensor. Replace the sensor and put in a bottle of fuel cleaner.

>>512991038
that sounds too goyim for me, a neet aristocrat, to bother with

>>512985758 (OP)
I love my Tesla

>>512991720
something like a bad seal on the fuel pump could do it too

>>512990822
The biggest kike is the faggot that is making you do that smog test in the first place

>>512992245
I stick with OEM replacements when I can, duralast isnt too bad for big mechanical parts. Ideally youd want OEM replacements for sensors, they work best with the computer

>>512992232
Yeah, may be dealing with a vac line where someone connected the wrong line to wrong port to give that code. It happens alot and tricks people into loading the part cannon to the mechanic.

>>512992232
Yeah, if there's anything even slightly wrong, then these over calibrated cuck sensors start throwing codes. Good luck, man.

I have this on my motorcycle and ive had it for years and just ignored it. It disappears on and off occasionally. But a motorcycle is a simpler machine less to break it might be a bigger deal on a car.

>>512992441
It's all the same blueprints and code. OEM is the biggest consumer scam for people that can change brakes and think they can do more.

>>512992295
You won't love it when you hit a pothole wrong and your (((insurance provider))) says it needs a new battery.

>>512992481
This. I drove multiple cars 5+ years each with the check engine light on and sold them without fixing anything.

>>512985758 (OP)
Every man should have a bluetooth code scanner theyre pretty cheap now

Gas tank isn't sealing properly spay some silicon lubricant on the rubber seal on the gas cap and then tighten it down.

>>512986174
Pleb brain. It’s probably just and 02 sensor. If it’s a misfire just re do the plugs and clean the wires

>>512985758 (OP)
If you don't know shit about cars, which it seems you don't, then you should have spent time in your life finding an honest and well priced mechanic.
It's probably nothing serious this time but one day you will need the service of a mechanic. It's worth putting in the leg work to find a good one. When I moved to a new area I asked everyone I knew what mechanic they used, and tried out a bunch for my regular services and to fix minor issues as they arose.
Now I have two mechanics, one who is dirt cheap and does a reasonable job and one who is a bit more pricey but knows his shit and who I would use if there was ever a serious problem with my car. If you depend on your car like I do because you live fucking 30km from the nearest store and drive 50km to work everyday then either hit the books and learn how cars work or if you can't be fucked then find yourself a non Jewish mechanic asap.

>>512992564
Ive had plenty of aftermarket sensors shit the bed in a matter of weeks, every oem one i replaced has been working for years

>>512992301
I've asked they said it's not that. It shows "small leak" on scanner.
>>512992338
Yeah and if I can't fix by tomorrow I will try to give it to them (the state) maybe they will give me some shekels back. But fuck I can't find a title for it.

>>512985758 (OP)

It means your engine is going to fly away. DO YOU NOT SEE THE BIG HELICOPTER BLADES ON THE FRONT OF IT?

>>512992647
Might as well tell him to put some good old sugar in the tank.

>>512991829
America talks about freedom and then has pussy shit like this. They can’t even own a catless JDM car and tune it and now they’re lapping up all our clapped out sloppy seconds for 5x. The orange Jew had me going for a few years but Alberta will be far better off on its own

>>512992704
The best OEM (and only real OEM) sensors are the ones you find on a "totaled" car. If you want to order parts from the dealership to get your psuedo-OEM then so be it. Just enjoy the psyop'd tax.
I just replaced my starter, the starter cost $20 at the salvage yard. Had him test it with a battery to make sure it engaged. It's still going 4 months later.

>>512992727
How old is the car? Just pay some Guatemalan to pass you. You said $350 for a bribe, right? Getting a new car will cost you a lot more than that.

>>512992232
might be a leak in the brake cylinder than

>>512985758 (OP)
It can mean tons of shit. Buy an OBD2 reader and you'll know. Those can also be used to reset it.

>>512987235
Lol
