2008 Elantra Purge Control Valve Replacement

[@PDXMW]

I could not find the purge valve anywhere and searched the internet for a LONG time with no results. Thank you for showing the location!

[@Realstuffadventures]

Thanks for watching, glad the video helped....before I did it I was in the same boat

[@HossPete]

Boom. 10 minutes and a $25 part off Amazon, and I’m back up and running. Your instructions were spot on for my 2009 Elantra. Screwdriver, pliers and a 10mm socket. Easy as that. Just saved $300. Thanks!

[@Realstuffadventures]

I've changed the air filter, the cabin filter and two headlight bulbs. -and that's all. I'm a novice. I matched your video with my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS 2.7 liter and it was almost a perfect fit. It was so similar that I ended up doing the job myself with your video by my side and with great success!! For my particular Hyundai though, I actually should've removed the part that the air filter hose connected to... I don't know anything about this part and couldn't find any info on KZbin. So, I followed your video instead, and was able to work around and underneath this mystery part to get to the Purge Control Valve! There was great effort involved in getting around this mystery part. -but in spite of that, success prevailed! Although, I think now I will invest in the repair manual for this car. Your info saved me a great deal of money and without the mechanic-double-talk that always seems to jack up the price. Anyway, I remember feeling so proud that I had achieved this and needed to THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH for this info!! A really great job on your explainations and notes as well. :-)

Thanks SandhillDigger. Your video made it real easy to find and replace. Just to give a bit more detail for the other amateur mechanics: I found an offset (water pump) pliers made it easier to remove the hoses and clamps. The electric connection is removed by depressing the clip on the top of the connector and pull. There is a rubber "bushing" holding the valve in place, it is removed from the engine clip horizontally, placed onto the new Purge Control Valve and then slipped back onto the engine clip, with the valve.

[@coboltnet]

+Mike G Good hints for the amateur. Thanks. I'll add my findings here: The hoses didn't come off easily after moving the clamps away but I ran a flathead screwdriver around the end of the top hose and then it slid right off. Once I slid the 'bushing/holder' that the PCV sits in off the bracket (slides right off, towards the back of the car) I was able to pull the whole thing out a bit and get to the bottom hose easily then I worked the screwdriver around that one too. I made sure to reclamp the bottom hose before re-seating the 'bushing/holder' since the top hose is very short. Overall I saved over $200 of dealer repair with a $40 part and some effort.

I just replaced the Purge Valve for a 2010 Elantra. The location of components are a tad bit different. I vlogged about the simplicity of the removal and installation as well. It was difficult to start the car after filling the tank. Replacing the purge valve fixed it. Thanks SandhillDigger!

[@Realstuffadventures]

Thanks for sharing

[@JayCeeMax]

@@Realstuffadventures Cheers

[@olumideakinyetun4049]

Wow. Really enlightening, i had an issue with starting the vehicle after fillup and it's been fixed. A lot of people do not really know about this.

[@Realstuffadventures]

thanks for watching, glad you found the video helpful

[@TheNormaalaniz]

I wanted to thank you so much for your video. I followed your instructions and was able to replace the purge control valve in my car MYSELF. I've very proud of myself. Thank you!

[@chuckstovall7872]

Had the same trouble with starting after fillup.. thanks to your video, replaced the purge valve and no problems. Thanks a lot.

[@Realstuffadventures]

***** Glad it helped, appreciate the kind response

[@RebeccaRivas87]

Thank you, I was able to successfully replace my 2008 elantra. However the end part of your video was slightly misleading as the portion of actually unclipping the purge valve took me and another random man an hour to reach and unattach to the plugs. Definitely not as easy as you claimed. But thank you for this video!

[@Realstuffadventures]

Sorry about that...don't know why they decided to put it in that location, it is ellusive

[@Nupetiet]

Thanks, you saved me a bunch of trouble! I'm not a gearhead, but this was really simple after you showed me where it was!

[@MVPJboi]

It sits in a rubber holder which is attached via 1 screw above & behind the vavle. Once you detach the top hose & unscrew the holder, accessing the bottom hose is easy.

[@Realstuffadventures]

thanks for watching

[@johnmarkzimm]

Thank you so much for the video. I saved quit a bit of money fixing mine myself, (2008 Accent).

[@PT-ie2xj]

This is a bit more difficult to access than you let on. The first trick to know is that though it will resist, you can push the valve and the rubber bushing it is held by off of the metal mounting bracket and towards the rear of the engine compartment. Just spray the bushing and the metal bracket with WD40 & then physically work the bushing until it lets go of the bracket. After the valve and the bushing are free from the bracket, your options to access and remove the two hose clamps are greatly improved. The bushing must be reused on the new valve. If the bushing cracks, you may have to silicone it to the new valve and use zip ties to hold everything together at least until the silicone dries. One site suggests that only a Bosch or OEM valve should be used as the signal to open the valve is pulse width modulated and they found that many non-OEM valves won't open fast enough to keep the emissions failure light off.

Thank you, after looking at the video, it was very easy to find the location and replace it. Workshop had quoted the estimate for $350, whereas I finished it for part $53 and 1 hour job. I would like to know about O2 sensors universal, which is cheaper compare to made to particular model. Thanks again.

I'm having the same issue, going to be proactive and see if I can do this myself. Wish me luck! Never actually stated I'm the video, but did replacing the valve fix the problem?

Cool, my girlfriend's car 2008 Elantra is taking 3 cranks or so before it starts.. I hope this is the problem....thaks for the video......

[@j.rothchild173]

Sorry, The car did get better, but my problem was the fuel pump. Once i put the pump the car went back to normal....

Did it cure your starting problem? I have a 2003 Sonata and at times does the very same thing. Especially if the tank is lower than 1/4 tank.

[@MikeMaldonado]

My check engine light came on showing code P0441, would it make sense that it is the "Purge Control Valve"?

[@eduardogarcia5137]

Mike Maldonado yeah. I have alldata and i searched it up info of car and the code, and it gave me procedures in regards how to do the procedures and tests to see if it is damaged and needs replacement and if it’s damaged, that the recommended route is to replace it.

[@anta8330]

How does the rubber isolator pull off the vavle body ? Do you have to pull the hoses off first?

[@Realstuffadventures]

+Ant A As I mentioned, I am not a mechanic, to be honest with you , I really do not remember exactly how I got it off. It has been a while. It is hard to see, but get some good light and look at it and I think you will see what to do. Seems like there might have been a little snap or something holding it together. Maybe someone else here can answer this question better.

[@anta8330]

Thank you , mine is on a bracket that is mounted on the frame I have to take off in order to get the rubber sleeve off thats around the valve .

[@ufcker915]

How did your car behave that made you think that unit needed replacing? I have the 2010 with about 120,000 miles on it..Still getting about 35 MPG so this stumps me..

[@Realstuffadventures]

For me it was not a matter of gas mileage, the symptom I had was when I would stop and fill up with gas the car was very hard to get started and the engine check light was on. Sometimes this could be from a worn gasket on the fuel cap.

[@loureynolds]

after you changed the valve, did the check engine light go off automatically?

[@eduardogarcia5137]

lou reynolds you have to delete it with an obd-2 scanner.

I appreciate everyone's comments, etc. But I have a problem I have yet been able to solve on the 2008 Elanta. I have a very annoying rattle around the left rear area. I have replaced the shock, replaced the rear breaks, had two different mechanics to check it out, removed everything from the trunk and looked at everything possible in that area from inside and out. Also removed the back seat and inspected everything there, but still I have this RATTLE anyone know or have any other idea what it might be coming form. Even had the bushing checked on the suspension.

[@voluptuousplum]

+SandhillDigger its a recall...take it to the dealer

[@Realstuffadventures]

+SandhillDigger Finally found the rattle ! See my video on that episode @ kzbin.info/www/bejne/raewYX9sgNxlnrM

[@Realstuffadventures]

+voluptuousplum You talking about the rattling or the PCV ? If you are talking about the rattling noise....too late for me....I took it to the dealer and they could not come up with a reason...I had to spend quite a bit of money to find the problem and get it fixed....I sure did not know this was a recall? Thanks for letting me know anyway.

[@breakfastenjoyer]

what was the rattling noise? I also am getting a rattling noise as I'm driving. it's a minor annoyance but worth looking into for me.

[@luisrosas1352]

I replaced it but the check engine light came on is there a reason for that ?

[@Realstuffadventures]

you might have to drive it for a few minutes for the light to go off unless there is another problem Thank you , and sorry for the long delay in getting my response posted, kind of got of the wagon for a while , but now I am trying to catch up and just wanted you to know, new content is being added to the channel.

hello Bro I got 2009 hundai Accent 4 cylinder canister purge valve dura last for $48 .99 + tax question were I can get a newone more chepper then that one thank you S.P

[@Realstuffadventures]

Sergio Peña not too sure, I found mine online and it actually came from Korea I believe, it took a while for it to arrive, but it was a genuine replacement part. I don't think your price of 50 buck is all that bad, still much cheaper than a dealer

[@transphatsmile]

Chris Boyd same here!

[@transphatsmile]

Chris Boyd did you get it?

[@clb8645]

I wasn't able to, but a neighbor came by and removed it. I don't even know which neighbor it was...I put a request out on Nextdoor.com, and some random neighbor came home and did it while I was out and my wife was at home, and he installed the new piece. I thanked him on Nextdoor, and that was that.

[@transphatsmile]

Chris Boyd i got it! there is a button on top of the electrical plug. my fingers werent doin anything so i used pliers and it pushed it down. its hard to tell its s button with your hands
