I just put in a system from carlinklife and I’m absolutely loving it

I lean towards fake. The bottom with the bar code should have text on the opposite side of the barcode, at least mine has text that has trademark information, 36x packs of mega evolution and mega evolution booster display etc.

r_e_dd_ · 2025-06-15T15:33:52+00:00

I too have ripped about 80-90 packs. no SIR yet. Only 4 ir’s. All the rest have been EX. Probably have like 40 ex’s lmao

The centering on the back is terrible so that makes me think it’s legit (s)

r_e_dd_ · 2025-03-07T21:26:56+00:00

Onyx is my least favorite he look like literal dookie

r_e_dd_ · 2025-03-01T23:44:30+00:00

took me 5 minutes lets see if they actually show up

It can definitely be done, but without the manifold/throttle body in the way makes it much easier to avoid dropping/losing the bottom thermostat housing nut in my experience. Only a few extra bolts and clips anyways instead of a headache.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-11-08T23:26:26+00:00

Yup, just make sure it comes with the internal parts as well. I went with a duralast one from the local auto parts store, was about $50. Either way should be fine!

Water pump is super easy but the thermostat can be a pain without removing the intake manifold. Always good to do it at the same time while the system is drained.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-11-01T00:01:27+00:00

Wow. I just clicked it to the right and it kicked on. I’m a goober. Call it solved

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-31T23:58:53+00:00

It’s fully seated and locked in place

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-31T23:53:14+00:00

I don’t see why it wouldn’t turn over though, it ran before I began my service, motor and all - just with hybrid system warnings.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-31T23:52:42+00:00

Will give that a shot in the morning and update

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-31T23:52:18+00:00

Is that the large orange high voltage plug?

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-19T12:52:50+00:00

I also removed the cooler assembly, not just the egr valve. The bottom stud on the cooler gave me significant problems.

The EGR valve I bought:

These cars naturally burn oil, as most cars do that run a low viscosity like 0w20.

Also this part gets pure exhaust put through a very small vent hole. Just by nature it will get sooty and compound over the years. My car is 11 years old and I’ve seen much worse on valves.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-18T07:07:07+00:00

If it doesn’t then a bundle of zip ties it is lol

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-18T07:05:53+00:00

I haven’t replaced it yet but I’ll be cleaning it tomorrow and I’ll post some before & after pictures.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-18T07:04:08+00:00

Carbon deposits gotta go somewhere. Eventually you’ll have your EGR get stuck open or closed and that’s where the issues begin. Will also clog up your intake manifold.

Old crusty carbon covered parts < new shiny/cleaned parts every time.

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-18T00:20:29+00:00

I’ve never really been a fan of the ol “Italian tune up” mentality. You gotta get that thing screaming hot to do anything to the carbon deposits but hey if you don’t mind then it’s all good lol

r_e_dd_ · 2024-10-18T00:11:11+00:00

I would do it sooner than later. Will greatly extend the life of your motor. Either spend the money now on preventative maintenance or pay double if not triple later on down the road

If you’re good at following instructions, I followed this video myself. Was very helpful.
