What did you do to your MK6 today?

[GolNat]

Outlet pipe coupling popped off on the highway which brought on EPC and limp mode, pulled over and burned my arm for a half hour to work the clamp and coupling back on.
I'm thinking of changing the clamp since the original clamp doesn't have teeth around the entire thing and also fabricating something to wedge in-between the pipe itself and the frame of the car to help hold it on.

Constant tension clamps are the way to go

What kind of clamp was on there?

My New Year's resolution is to get back on the forum more frequently. Been an absolute stranger the past few months and got wrapped up with other hobbies. Also things have been opening up, so I've been spending a lot less time on the computer. Love y'all tho.

My recent gas cap CEL has been followed by the p0455 CEL. I cleared it so I guess we will see what happens. Hope I don't have to replace the n80 valve.

Damn, you beat me!! Mine arrive tomorrow.

And I thought MY engine bay was dirty.


Today, I vacuumed the carpet, and started cleaning the engine bay. Which started with removing the wasp nest on top of my HPFP..................

Did you replace the gas cap?

I have a random “small EVAP leak” CEL that comes up randomly and I thinks it’s my n80 as I already replaced the gas cap.

 

[Joe_Mama]

My gas cap looks fine, don't see any reason to bother replacing it. The N80 seems to be the main culprit in these cases. I'm going to replace the N80 valve through parts geek and go from there. If the problem persists I'll look into replacing the cap but I'm positive it isn't the gas cap.
