You did not show how you bleed radiator.

[@dinnella7231]

I always go through you guys. You have saved me so much money it's unbelievable. Thank you

[@chuckbauer653]

The lisle funnel is designed to sit on the radiator as the engine heats up, thermostat opens, and burps air out through the funnel. In addition to this process shown, leave the funnel attached with coolant and heat up the system with the heater on until the electric cooling fan kicks on for a bit

[@jjrock5]

Exactly what I was thinking. Those funnels are specifically made to purge air out of the coolant system.

[@zackwarner9452]

In addition to that you should periodically squeeze the upper radiator hose to bleed the system.

[@rodrigogomes2859]

Muito interessante cada vídeo seu que assisto. Tem me ajudado muito a entender os carros daqui.

[@2112user]

Little tip on the funnel.... before you insert the stopper, give the hose a squeeze. Insert it as you squeeze. it'll reduce your mess when removing the funnel and adaptors....

[@flyer8493]

What brand of coolant funnel are you using? I’ve tried two different kinds and the screw cap doesn’t thread on using either of them.

[@oa3634]

Please can you tell me : 1-how much fluid i need to replace old one completely? 2- I’m confused about the drain joint u detached.. is this on lowest level of fluid ? , i mean dose this way make me sure about the replacement procedure will be done with out any remaining old fluid?

When and why you need to change cooling? Why you do not just add in the white jug? And if changing is required, how often I need to doit?

[@JustinMentionedIt]

5:35 when you first start it is it supposed to be sluggish and “bouncy” for a sec?

[@robh6852]

How do you drain out the coolant from the engine block? Is there a spigot there like on other vehicles? Also, if so, where is it located? Thanks.

[@1AAuto]

+rob h Thanks for watching! If a complete engine block drain is required then you will have to remove the left and right block coolant drain plugs. The should be located next to cylinders 1 and 2. 1aauto.com

[@robh6852]

@@1AAuto Any chance you have a diagram and what the plugs look like?

Can I apply this method to Traverse 2nd Generation 2018 and up?

[@Jack-v8h4k]

awesome video

[@Klayster]

I have a 2014 Chevrolet Equinox, and wanted to know whether or not the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse model directions would work best since my car is a 2014? The last time I did a coolant flush was for a 2007 Ford Focus, so I'm trying to remember everything. :-p

[@1AAuto]

+Klayster Thanks for watching! If you have the same 3.6L V6 motor then the process should be very similar to this video! 1aauto.com

[@Klayster]

Thanks for responding. I have a 2.4L Flex Fuel model.

[@fawadnassim5504]

Hi nice video but you mentioned about bleed it I didn’t see it lol I would like to know

[@mjkirk12]

I think running the engine at 2500 RPM for 3 minutes will bleed system - any air in the system will rise to top of radiator. Then after engine cools, just top off with more coolant at radiator.

How do you bleed the system?

[@jscott538]

When did you bleed it??

[@jerryhage2293]

always turn heater on high so that the coolant is flushed clean as well

[@latenttweet]

@Thomas Poafpybitty no there is a valve on the coolant line going to the heater core. When you turn the heat on your hvac it is opening this valve. Love your confidence though !

[@cjwilson8884]

Is there a video on how to bleed the coolant if air gets trapped on a 2012 chevy silverado ...

[@1AAuto]

+CJ Wilson We currently do not have a video on what you are looking for, but we are always making new ones.

Are the cooling fans supposed to kick on at a low speed a soonest you start the car? My 2011 traverse will do this, it doesn’t matter how cold is outside, every time since own the fans kick on when I start the car and they will stay running at low speed constantly. Anyone?

[@MickNJ1979]

You should do this twice get old fluid out replace new drive for a week flush again that way you get any nasty leftovers out

[@MixsterKusanagi]

you are the man!!

[@Melody-l2n]

When you’re pouring a bottle, you should have the spout to the top so it doesn’t slush all over the place

[@cristianaquino4431]

whats normal operating temp? and what is max it should reach?

[@WalllessPumpkin]

Normal operation temperature is 210. However, on some cases with GM vehicles it will fluctuate, which is normal.

[@ang3lpokellola]

Hi i did a coolant change on my 2012 acadia but.the lower radiator hose is cold and the top hose gets hot .any suggestion?thank you

[@1AAuto]

+Yanely Ixtlilco Let it cool off first

[@tmerriam6886]

This method only gets about 45% of the coolant out. How can you remove 100%/

[@flyer8493]

Do it a few times.

[@ricksop9234]

Didn't check for air in radiator didn't run the heater?

[@HotDamProductions215]

What coolant brand use 4 gm vehicles

[@alikbey]

Got a 2008 Saturn outlook and everything on this car is hard to fix.. I can't even find the drain plug on here..

[@floydhiatt1513]

You didn’t show bleeding the system

[@mikekil-callsignares2139]

How do you bleed the system if you don’t have That tool that you used

[@Danlyman2010]

I can drain over a gallon just by inserting a clear piece of tubing into the radiator fill hole and siphon it out into a bucket. Its a heck of a lot easier and cleaner than this method in the video.. Wonder how much fluid he actually drained out?

how to flush coolant in chevy spark lt 2012 (Indian model) i.e. matiz, i can find the drain plug, where is it located?

+Bitesh Biswas At this moment, the closest how-to video we have to your request is for this vehicle, which is very similar to the one you have. The steps may not be 100% the same, but should contain an adequate amount of information necessary for accomplishing this task. 1aauto.com

I have a 2011 Taverse and I'm unable to pressure test it. And soon as I start to pump it, the air goes out the resevoir tank. Any suggestions?

[@1AAuto]

+Danny martinez You can rent a pressure test kit from many hardware stores

[@brandonnguyen1486]

This dude works with chemical guys now lol

[@sweetboy821]

Why take the hoses out where is the drain plug in the radiator

[@MrBallerb601]

There's no drain plug on these models.

[@shark.attack]

No bleeding the system🤔🤔🤔
