My time has come

Good ol' P2261

Trying to figure out my plan of attack here. Here are the deets

This car is pretty stock other than a custom ECU tune. The CEL came on out of the blue first one ever. I have an OBD2 scanner so I got the code, that's the only code. I actually drove it for a bit as I was looking at the boost pressure. It's still able to hit 16 even 18 PSI at one point. So it's not in limp mode and also there's no compressor surge I was listening for that.

I was watching some videos on how to get to the solenoid. Not sure if I need to do like leak testing. Might also be the diaphragm. I turned the code off and it came back on so yeah I gotta do something about it lol. It has 110K miles.

The 2nd pic there's a blue thing down there wasn't sure if that's the solenoid/stock piece. $50 solenoid on eBay least it's not bad, definitely trying to do this myself, solenoid is black and grey so not the blue thing. I think the area in red I have circled is a BPV not the solenoid.

F man they're saying get at it from under the car... I don't have ramps shiiiii that's like a phobia of mine lmao the car crushes me might just take it in, will keep looking at videos. I think I still have maxcare time to use that shi. Yeah I'm looking at the wrong spot lol if it's the solenoid looking at this vid. It's actually top left of first pic.

F man you need ramps, yeah I'm gonna use this expensive ass maxcare lmao, yeah if it's like $200 that's cool. Sorry guys still not a true car guy, I'm at an apt complex not trying to buy ramps although I do have tires to swap between winter/summer. I do want to use this maxcare that I've been paying for and never used. I'll post an update as to what happens.

Sputtering noise when I shut it off

Seems like the more money I put into my car the more it demands. I have no clue what this noise can be. Posting here to see if you guys can help me figure it out. Sorry for the tree view. I couldn't find out a way to record the actual engine while turning it off myself.

Edit: I forgot to mention I have 2012 base model

Sunroof roller shade hanging

2019 Hyundai Veloster ultimate
I bought this car from my grandpa and he doesn’t remember how this happend, I was wondering what could’ve caused it and how or where could I fix it other than the dealership
The sunroof rollers seem to be working but i’m scared they will get stuck open so I prefer not open it but it would be nice to fix it

AC knob very touchy won’t be on “4” unless it’s at a precise spot between 3 and 4

2016 base model. Anyone experience this or similar? Please let me know if you know what might be causing this😁

Tork Motorsports

Is Tork Motorsports reliable for parts/ordering? Placed a order 2-3 days ago and still haven’t received any tracking updates so just curious if they usually take longer or if something’s going on. lmk your opinions cause I did planned on ordering a lot of stuff with them but wondering if a different route would be better

Running through tires

I drive a lot for work around thousand miles a week on my 2013. I either have had a really bad run of luck with tires or are tire issues a problem that the rest of y’all see?

This is my third bad tire within the last month. They all started out new in February.

What do you guys think of the 2019 Veloster?

I'm buying my first car with a budget of 10k and found a 2019 Veloster Premium with 94k miles that is just under my budget. It has the 2L I4 engine. Exterior and interior are in good shape and the car only has two previous owners that did routine maintenance. I like the look of the car and how it drives but I don't know much about the Hyundai brand and if there's any problems I should expect to have with this specific car. I'm just looking for a fun, reliable, daily driver that won't break the bank. Thanks for any help!

Should I buy this car?

Im looking at a manual, naturally aspirated 2012 Veloster with about 280k km. I’m trying to find a car that’s good on gas and relatively reliable. From what I can tell from some research the main issues with this vehicle come from the automatic transmission and the turbo engine. Are there any other major things I should know about before going to look at this vehicle? I plan to get it inspected to make sure there’s no other major issues but am I getting myself into something I’ll regret. If I do have to have anything repaired how expensive are repairs on this vehicle?

Thank you for any and all advice.

2020 r-spec with 86,000 miles. Worth it for $11,500?

Went on a test drive the other day and everything seemed fine. Previous owner put on an intake and exhaust but nothing else.

Upgraded from 2.5 inch hps to a 3.5 turbosocks.

Should I have the Heat sheild facing the block how it’s currently situated or more towards the battery.

Air Conditioner not blowing. Plug? Controller? Blower motor?

First: I know I have the issue with the plug or controller going bad. Speed 4 has not worked for a couple summers now.

But a couple weeks ago, it completely stopped blowing at any speed. I'm still getting cold air (and it flows out fine at 45+ mph).

Is there a way to diagnose if this is just the previous problem progressing—meaning I need to replace the plug and or controller—or is the blower motor has gone bad? Money's a little tight and I'd hate to throw more money at the issue than necessary to fix it. If the issue is the blower motor, I'm fine with fixing that and just not having speed 4 for a while longer.

Secondary question: if the issue is the plug/controller, is the trim that I'd need to take off the same that I'd need to replace the digitizer on my screen (I have that issue, too). If so, I'd love to knock out both issues at the same time because I really hate taking off trim.

Thanks for any help!

Car does not start

Hello my 2012 manual veloster (UK) does not start without being jumpstarted. It has passed its MOT and relatives and friends have suggested it’s because it was previously sitting on the drive for a few months it needs to be driven regularly/high speed so the battery is most likely fine.

On short journeys I’ve sometimes stalled on the road or parked up for a bit and it needs jumpstarting 😭

No lights on the dashboard suggesting an issue.

What do you guys think?
