Review on Dorman 911 800 Emissions Purge Hyundai by Jeff Davidson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Experiences, tips, tricks for EVERY CAR (mine: VW Jetta 2001) a broken adapter can be a problem!

vw jetta 2001 came up and worked and passed the emissions. BUT THE FIRST START WITH THE ADAPTER DEFECTIVE. If you find you can't get it to work, check the adapter. There are 2 female clips that connect to the actual [call valve. Inside the single female receiving clamp are 2 clamps, a connection to the adapter itself and a clamp in contact with the male part of the purge valve. It will not work and will read an open circuit error code if it is bent or missing. (Actually you only have a couple of shots to put this on, so be sure to secure it carefully the first time you put it on!). After I sent it back to Amazon they sent me one with both clips and everything was fine. drove it over 100 miles after clearing the trouble codes and after the car read everything clearly and the green light came on we moved on to the emissions. They said everything was perfect and I passed. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Quick notes for the DYI or the inexperienced: - While your purge valve is state law, it will have very little effect on the overall health of your engines as long as everything is hooked up and small leak codes are read. You can buy this through throw-in and even replace the old flush valve as long as a small leak is the only issue you don't have to worry about. The problem is finding medium or large leaks which can then seriously affect other parts of your vehicle. Unfortunately, the best way to fix this is to go to the dealer, and it doesn't come cheap. An open circuit fault code does not necessarily mean incompatibility, it means the purge valve is not reading. If it wasn't compatible it would just either not work or show a different error code.) If your error shows as an open circuit don't panic, double check everything is connected, reset the error codes and try it again. If that doesn't help, check the clamps as mentioned above. If they look like the picture send for a new one. amazon fast.
