Nothing worse than getting stuck behind someone with a smoking car, yuck! I pulled into the gas station to fill up, put the pump in my car, and sat back in the driver’s seat to stay warm. That was when I saw it: the smoke was coming from MY car!! By some magical stroke of luck, a friend pulled into the same gas station (maybe not so crazy considering the size of this town), and helped me determine the problem. I mean let’s face it, I would not have had a clue on my own. I was already entertaining the idea of driving it to a dealership and trading it in rather than incur whatever bill was coming my way! But I really was in luck — it was the Y joint in my heater hose leaking coolant, and it was easy to fix! (Video below) And just so we are clear, no, I had no idea what that was either, but there’s a good possibility if you’re reading this, that you unfortunately know what that is now too. Not a fun club to be a part of, I know. If you’ve done any googling, then you know by now that this break is common with this minivan, and sometimes people have to replace this piece more than once (which is ridiculous!) I could not even find a Y piece anywhere locally. The local auto parts stores wanted me to order some huge $100 part that would basically replace the whole entire set of tubes and pieces, AND it wouldn’t be something I could do on my own. I knew there had to be a better way! And there is. It’s also way cheaper, and will only have your car out of commission for about 30 minutes instead of stuck in a shop for who knows how long! I ordered an easy peasy kit off ebay that came with a *metal *Y that will last the life of the car instead of the crappy plastic one that cracks, and it had all the pieces I needed to get the job done. I made an instructional video for you too! Even if you have little to no knowledge about cars, you CAN do this! It takes a little elbow grease and just a few common tools you likely already have. Plus, the confidence and accomplishment you’ll feel when you have fixed your own vehicle is priceless! Let me hear you roar, ladies! ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent40.net/hubfs/8380996/Imported_Blog_Media/Amy-2-1-Jan-27-2021-04-11-48-63-PM.png) ![](https://blog.amyonfyre.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Amy-2-1-Jan-27-2021-04-11-48-63-PM.png?width=288&height=192&name=Amy-2-1-Jan-27-2021-04-11-48-63-PM.png) ### *Related* [Life After Divorce: What Are You Capable Of?](https://www.amyonfyre.com/20170315life-divorce-capable)March 15, 2017In "Life After Separation/Divorce" [Wednesday Workshop | How to Fix a Door that Won't Stay Open](https://www.amyonfyre.com/wednesday-workshop-fix-door-wont-stay-open)April 19, 2017In "Wednesday Workshop" [Could You Have BV and Not Know It? | BV part 2](https://www.amyonfyre.com/could-you-have-bv)May 11, 2017In "Wellness" ### Comments comments Share it!
