Pre- Drive Clean Test Tips
Your vehicle can be refused from a drive clean test for the following reasons:
- a leaky exhaust
- bald tires on the live drive axle
- fluids leaking from the engine compartment
- fuel leaks
- a rusted out fuel filler neck where your gas cap seals
- a fuel cap that wont hold pressure
Here are a few items to check prior to the test:
- check coolant level in radiator with vehicle cold
- ensure engine oil is fresh 1- 2 months old under 4,000 kilometers
- visual inspection for any disconnected or leaking vacuum or vent hoses
- check pcv valve
For a nominal charge we can check these items during an oil change. Do not have a tune-up done or any other extensive repairs at a non authorized drive clean repair facility prior to the test as they are not considered part of the $ 450.00 repair cost limit if the vehicle fails the test.
