KIA VVT P0018 

WhitwellMike B lmao. great one.

If you even have a dipstick anymore. When I first heard they were taking them off motors, I thought it was a joke.

+CO Jones we are leaving alot of dipstick jokes on the table here

+Mr. Bob Dobalina I know. It's to a point now that I drain every bottle from oil changes I do into a jug so I have clean top off oil to use. Surprisingly that jug fills up quick just draining "empty"bottles. We check the oil on every car before it leaves no matter what service, and sooooo many have nothing on the stick. And usually the bill is done and we could lose 5 bucks or more on free oil just to protect the customer. That starts adding up quick

+Baxrok2 u know what the video title was? I have a suzuki cx7 that has the gm 3.6l and 3 cam crank correlation codes that I think is chain stretch. But I have no experience with those yet

Ivan over at motoYam82 did it. The title is - P0016 P0011 Low Power Case Study: Chevy Equinox - Part 1

Thanks. I'll check it out

+wysetech2000 nice. I remember a long time ago when Paul was starting his diagnosing, he had the vantage before I did. I was messing with this Toyota that wouldn't start but after it stopped cranking over it would run backwards for 15 seconds. We both spent a good hour on igf, igt, primary and secondary waves. All my prodding.. finally he said..Did u ever pull a spark plug? Duhhhh. Worn so bad even the negative electrodes were gone. So much raw fuel in the exhaust, when it would backfire, it totally sucked from the exhaust and belched out the air cleaner

+william burke I have a video on one of those. Mine, the screen came off and got lodged in the valve. U gotta pull the belt and loosen the power steering pump to slide the valve out

+Thor7167 not enough to keep the chain guides lubricated enough is my guess

+David Seymour yea. If it stayed on, maybe they get it looked at sooner and maybe check the oil

+James Kmenta not to familiar with the term fleet oils ,but if u actually change the oil 3 to 4k miles ,I think oil is oil. If u have a specified weight or one specifically requiring synthetic or the dexos stuff. I use it

I call it the "Replace Engine Light". By the time it comes on the damage is usually done. Usually the pickup tube has to be sucking air before the light comes on.

NCPDFSB depends on if the car has a oil level sensor or not.

+NCPDFSB seriously. It's hard to believe that it doesn't come on. Part of me thinks that the vvt codes popping up ( the ones that people actually bring in to have looked at) are actually saving engines from totally running out

+Gear Wrench87. PITTSBURGH without the yinz

Penguinz? Lol

Yep. Until football starts

I like when they say RAAAAD-iator.

+hobbles wolf it's a snap on solus ultra. It's a few models back from the newest and best but it's fully updatable to the newest.and does everything the new ones do as far as tests and info. Just not windows based with wifi and links to shop key and all that stuff .. But updates can be as much as a thousand bucks. I got mine used from a snap on dealer updated to 15 for 1500. Then they just had a promotion where they updated to the 16.4 and u get the 17.2 free when it comes out .. which is now. For 575

+Bill Stevenson probably acid rain over the Atlantic somewhere by now
