Gotta love the red battery cable for ground. You had me scared for a second.

[@mph5896]

I saw that and thought, boy great idea there.

[@Guysm1l3y]

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.

[@for2utube]

Did you just put black on red and red on black?? Ohh...

[@nickmalone3143]

Thats says allot for the quality when cant event get industry wide color codes for battery ground and power right

[@steveloux4709]

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.

[@vernonbruce3722]

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.

[@C_More_Butts]

I had a local mechanic help me the same way.

"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

[@upallnight888]

Next time ask her to buy a box of Trojans, see if that elicits a comment.

[@wallingj68]

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...

[@nickmalone3143]

Eric oils up his six pack abs to look like Putin

[@G31mR]

the interactions between Mr. and Mrs. O are a huge part of the SMA video's appeal.

[@steveloux4709]

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

Gotta love the red colored batt negative lead =)

[@callmelordhelmet]

No joke

[@karlaerdmann7830]

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.

[@thetable123]

Was wondering if it was an MG for a second.

[@gcbification]

@@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 =^/

[@williamkay6916]

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

[@noeygarza6522]

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.

[@tv43405]

I'm glad that SMA gives you a bit of a laugh and great memories

[@btasler]

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.

[@jonminer9891]

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!

[@Toyotaguy999]

Love the evap videos, great job, nice tip using rubber hose to "hear" the leak. Great job Eric O

[@318ishonk]

That trick with the rubber hose went rather well. Thanks Eric!

[@jtjones4727]

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.

[@chrischrismon]

Love the adult beverage at then end. It's one of my favs too!

[@mikerobbins5049]

I sure am glad we dont have problems with rust like you do. I noticed 1 small spot on the rocker panel of my 2014 pick up the other day and it did not make me happy. Good job on finding that evap leak Eric....

i DID HEAR THE HISSING FROM THE LEAK, THATS PRITY COOL, ILL HAVE TO TRY THAT WHEN THE TIME COMES, ALWAYS GREAT TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO

[@craigsiegmund6759]

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.

I only just came across this channel while I'm in isolation at home with Covid (very mild dose fortunately). Great channel, been rolling back through lots of previous videos and have subscribed.

Near the end.. I was like - whaaaa? … then, as usual, mr O totally calms my panic … and tells me.. if I can do it -😊😊

Very common on these Velosters and 11-15 sonata hybrids. The inserts rust out and cause cracks and leak. There is a TSB but they also had a recall to either install a repair kit or replace canister depending on what you find. Good job Mr. O

[@CareyHolzman]

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.
