2013 VF Commodore SSV 6L V8 Auto - Radiator replacement

[@Rijidij]

Thanks for another great video. Love all your commodore vids, remember watching the VZ ones years ago. They all show great info for owners to figure all this stuff out, with some trial, error then success (the steam pipe info is so valuable!). Thank you for taking us along for the ride and being really detailed in documenting your work for us. Really appreciated.

Wow thanks for your kind words. Any tradie is so expensive now that I need to save money somehwere. And I hope others try to do the same. And your car doesn't get damaged by people who don't care as much as you do.

Hi, how many liters of new coolant did it end up taking, should it have been at least two bottles. How long did it take to fully bleed the coolant, ( minutes ) ? Thanks.

[@me8u73]

maybe half a bottle left from the 2 bottles. i'd say from memory around 20 minutes to bleed

[@SuperChicolatino]

[@me8u73]

@SuperChicolatino hey mate. Pretty sure I showed it in the video.

Hey mate,there is alot of water still in the block and heater cores when changing coolant,it is best to put in a 5 litre penrite concentrated bottle first that makes 10 litres for the vf v8 at correct mix.you would be undiluted using the premix if you dont get all the old water out and you dont want to mix old coolants with the new coolant .I think it best to take it to radiator shop that can flush and air pressurise old coolant out.Give them the cooant you want use so you can top up in the future

[@me8u73]

@craigduffield3963 yeah was thinking the same thing. I was just going to flush it again with new coolant
