04 Chrysler Sebring Replacing the Radiator

[@josephmccarthy4527]

Very helpful. Great tip about taking the fan off. It gives some wiggle room to get to the two bolts that attach to the condenser. Other wise I think I would need to take the condenser out too, and the AC work is no fun! You saved me a lot of extra work! THANKS!

damn great video, appreciate the walk through :thumbsup:

[@lincolnthinking]

thanks for filming and demonstrating the evil layout by Chrysler Engineers to make it extremely complex and more difficult by design for do-it-yourself maintenance service by an owner just to get access to the drain plug and lower radiator hose for an otherwise simple chore of doing a radiator fluid flush ~ makes me really regret owing a 2001 Sebring xli ~

[@PipeLayer83]

Was it just 2 rubber hoses to take off the radiator and that's it. Is there not any trans coolant lines to unhook???

[@sonofthedulalife9976]

[@josegarcia-ps6qx]

Hi I have a question. I have a 2003. chrysler sebring lx the kilometre is only 78 the person about it. He told me it's just sitting at the back for a couple years. He told me there's no problem. Right now it’s doing Aubrey heating every time it overheat the coolant is boiling that's why went to mechanic changed thermostat , thermos housing, and radiator and still doing the same thing … supposed to be a gift to my daughter… I just feel so disappointed to myself … by the way do you think you could help me if you know what’s wrong with it? Thank you.

Make sure it got bled and thermostat is opening. is there heat through vents ?

[@scottmiller2341]

Hey bud, much appreciated on this. Great video, super informative, but most of all you pointed out things that could be a pain in the ass! Thanks bud! Taking it apart now!

[@HardWhereHero]

Would this be a good time to change the thermostat? this one is located on the bottom of the engine. My intake bolts broke when trying to take off the air bleeder valve. I just said screw it, took it to a local shop but totally did not expect them to want 550 to put on the thermostat and adjust the air bleeder valve. Sounded a bit....excessive imo.

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi General E DGAF! Thanks for the comment ! only if you a have a issue, no heat or overheat

[@HardWhereHero]

Dana Crosby lol unfortunately I have both. I took the stupid thing to a mechanic because I about crushed my face while working on it. My uncle did warn me that this paticular model of vehicle is a mechanical nightmare....I mean, who puts the thermostat on the bottom of the engine, and uses the timing chain to drive the water pump? Only our good friends at Chrysler.

[@jerrychavez595]

thank you very hopefull👍🏽

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi Jerry ! Thank you for Friending in. After all that the damage of the over heat warped the head. plans to swap the motor is in the works

[@eddiereefer8166]

How do I replace just the condenser?

[@Paulie1232]

How people are dizzy after watching this...?

[@satochinakamoto5207]

So the radiator could be a gallon and half low but the reservoir clearly shows full, because the empty space filled with air Cannot pull the fluid from the reservoir. So add the fluid when engine is cool through the metal radiator cap.

[@tynanlicht2067]

Satochi NAkamoto or you can use the bleeder valve located on the thermostat housing

[@juliodj1986]

Very helpful

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi Julio! Thank you for commenting ! I now have a blown head gasket. So I am going to try a liquid head gasket repair .

[@KeanSenje]

Where is the location of the thermostat of this car

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi Kenje! Thank you for commenting! It is under the radiator cap housing. Careful the housing is plastic .

[@kelvin0805]

Got a 2008, totally different. Can't get the radiator out to save me life

[@DanaCrosby]

HiKelvin! Yes it's a Job trying to get the lower screws loose then tighten make sure you keep track of the rubber mounts

[@21064a01]

Thank you, very helpful. Camera could've been steadier with wider shots for better view. Otherwise, I love the video. Awesome!

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi 21064a01 Thanks for commenting Ya wish I had a camera man. I have a 360 camera I may start using panorama or in 360 But you would have to have the goggles Say get a user name !

[@21064a01]

Thanks to your video I was able to replace the radiator. I still have overheating issues, even though I have new thermostat, new fluid, cap and brass temp sensor next to the thermostat. I don't think it's air in the system.

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi 21064a01 The sebring was still overheating and finally it went to normal after a few days of driving so keep the reservoir where it should be and check the to make sure the coolant is up at the cap. keep me informed

[@JosePiRivera]

Por que no en sena sacar la maga de abajo es muy trabajosa pero como todo tratan esenar que es facir prosima en senalo todo como es no esene como que es facir y me costo sacar la mangera de abajo casi un dia completo y tube que yr el hotro dia y me costo par de hora mas no video de dies minuto yva bien pero no en sena la pura verda

[@michellemathis9756]

Be VERY thorough

[@satochinakamoto5207]

Chrysler 'S are engineered badly. Sebring the coolant in the reservoir does not ( DOES NOT SHOW THE LEVEL OF FLUID IN THE RADIATOR). When the engine is completely cool after several hours take the Radiator cap off. Put the correct ratio of coolant through the radiator (metal cap.) Also the O.E.M. thermostat does not have a fail safe in it. The new thermostat'S do, allowing coolant to pass in overheated conditions replace it. When the radiator is low on fluid the reservoir shows full. It fools you into thinking the radiator is full when it is not. So fill the coolant in through the radiator metal cap. If the thermostat is closed up , coolant will not pass.

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi Satochi! Thanks for the comment. It is a pain getting it bled. Now it has a blown head gasket .

[@zechmanning1630]

There no metal cap on the 2001

[@michellemathis9756]

Your skipping steps I'm trying to figure it out. Some of the stuff I don't know what your talking about

[@DanaCrosby]

Hi Michelle! Thanks for commenting. most of my videos are of what I went though, (What it takes) and for entertainment, because of liability issues. Their are professional videos and use the manual. in this case it was a pain to do because of its age and the bleeding of the system.
