On this forum, some body told me how to find the fault codes. I switched off and on the ignition key and found following codes: P 168.4 P O44.2 P O45.5 P O45.6
Is there something I can do about it? Dealer wants to charge me $80 just to tell what is wrong with it.
Not true again. Now let me ask you this question Dirty. If you acually believe that.......when a customers car comes in to the shop you work at (that is if you work in a shop) and it fails for a evap code such as in question and it has 50K on the odometer......do you tell the customer to take it to the dealer and have them fix it?
Answer the question, Glenn. The OP took it to a dealer. You told him to take it to a dealer. He's not taking it to Dirty's shop, he's taking it to the dealer. Isn't the a federally mandated emissions warranty on all cars? Isn't this an emissions failure?
Absolutely not a covered component!!! All you need to do is read the book that came with any new car and it will list all federal emissions components. Plugs and wires are not 8/80..if you have a bad plug or wire it isn't covered. Its just one of those things that Dirty does... My question to Dirty was if he thinks it should be warranted does he send his customers to the dealer????? If the vehicle was out of warranty 3/36 and had a MAX care service contract it would cover it. If it had an added care service contract it would not cover it.
I don't think my first reply went thru. First of all I didn't tell the OP to take it to the dealer Ted. I said IF!!!!
If you take it to the dealer to have them check it out more then likely they will perform a smoke test on the system to locate any and all leaks and it will be more then $80. But this machine will find the leaks. And the other fault code is a battery disconnect fault.

if it is indeed covered under a warranty i will tell the customer it might be and he/ she comes bac because i saved them some money and they always do and i do brakes and all the maintenance u the dealer charges way to much for and it does happen on a regular basis
Sorry but I have to reply to this.YOU SAY. "if it is indeed covered under a warranty I will tell the customer it might be" (IT MIGHT BE?)
So instead of getting the proper answer for your self, you tell your customers to take it to the dealer it may be covered!! And then what Dirty? They go there and find out it isnt.....do they now bring the car back to you because it isnt a covered part???? How many times do you have these customers run back and fourth before you get the hint that it isnt covered???
