A mechanic managed to identify problems with Mini Cooper after a woman uploaded a video that played a strange voice coming out of her car.
Andrea uploaded the clip on his Tiktok profile, asking netizens to help him identify problems with his mini Cooper that had just been filled with fuel.
In the video, it was seen he grabbed and started the engine, when the sound of irregular beats could be heard following the engine buzz. “Gosh, that’s so bad, that’s so bad!” Andrea said.
The clip quickly got a lot of broadcasting and the comments column was flooded with various suggestions. That’s when Nataliewho calls himself a “experienced mechanic”, advising him to examine the “Purgenu valve”.
Purga valve controls the flow of vapors from charcoal canister which functions partly to reduce pollution. If the valve is jammed or starts with problems, it can cause excess fuel consumption, the engine is unstable, or a knocking sound appears.
While most people agree that the problem might lie in the Purga valve, there are also those who suggest that the sound can be caused by a fuel tank cap that needs to be replaced.
“Purga valve or fuel tank cap. The price is cheap and easy to replace. Use videos from [YouTube] as a guide. A maximum of 30 minutes, “suggested a Tiktok user.
