| Auto Scanner: Use smoke to test fuel pipe Tue, 29 Apr 2008 02:28:00 EDT Q: I drive a 2002 Subaru Forester. Last October, I had the local dealership perform the 60,000 mile service. A few days afterward, the check-engine light came on, and I returned to the dealership to have it analyzed. Service told me that the light was on because of a vapor fume leak around the (fuel) filler. He said that sometimes bugs or dirt can get in there and cause a false reading. Apparently, the usual cause is rust and deterioration around the filler cap. A visual inspection revealed no apparent breach nor debris. He took the tire off and air blasted from underneath. The check-engine light came back on after a couple of days. He tells me the car won't pass inspection with this light on and that it will cost upward of $250 to replace the filler cap assembly. In the meantime, he assures me that this problem won't compromise car performance. What are my options, if any? Where do I go from here? |
