[@matthewhaught1072]

You're a life saver dude, i was worried this'd be difficult but you made it look piss easy

[@automotivetech-vet]

@@matthewhaught1072 thank you for the feedback my friend

[@douglaslindleyjr4058]

Thanks for a very easy and quick fix for my 2017 Cadillac ATS, crack in the plastic y joint, currently bleeding system 🎉

[@automotivetech-vet]

Thanks for the feedback and glad I could help my friend have a great weekend 😀

[@JWP6948]

Great video brother! Went to change my oil and saw it was leaking when I got underneath. Just put coolant in and it was almost gone when I noticed so changed this out and g2g since. Preciate ya!

[@j_dabeast]

Perfect video, I was checking my car today and realized the crack and leak so I look it up and the first video that pops up keep up the great work I definitely learned some new and I needed to know

[@Stego8_]

Went to the dealership for a crack in the Y-tube of the hose and they said they’d do it…for $600. Instead, I bought the hose on Amazon for $25 and fortunately have your video to help out. Thanks for the guidance my guy🫡

[@automotivetech-vet]

That is awesome I'm so glad I can help

[@vic2423]

I have a 2015 ats Luxary sedan 2.0L and I have this same exact issue .. so tomorrow I will buy and replace this exact coolant hose. I will keep you guys updated on how that goes

[@automotivetech-vet]

Awesome hope I could help

[@wildcat22lax]

Can you pls do a video for replacing the upper radiator hose and possibly passenger seat motor thanks again for this video extremely helpful

[@lsjionredlinesupercharged2049]

2.0T LTG ATS- I have one question should the second portion of the reservoir be filled? my top portion is filled like it’s supposed to but the bottom section is empty. The car never over heats same fluid is there every day, though after driving it does bubble a lot 🤷‍♂️runs good though.

[@Rickgonz47]

yeah, should be about halfway full

[@duanecarr6712]

Ty

[@MAC4LIFE222]

Thanks for making the video, my hose has just broke in the exact same spot. I ordered a new one online. Do I need to use the no spill funnel in order to bleed out my system

[@automotivetech-vet]

U don't have to just keep pouring till warmed up and full my friend

[@britthall9137]

Where did you order it from and is that the exact name for it? The one in the title? Also how much did you pay? Local GM wants 86 plus tax 25 sounds a lot better

[@axellopez5206]

I have a question when you change the antifreeze reservoir to a new one do you have to take it to a mechanic so they can adjust the pressure of the antifreeze? Or can you just replace the reservoir and run it like normal?

[@automotivetech-vet]

Just replace and top off with new 50 50 mix

[@axellopez5206]

@@automotivetech-vet when my car broke down I was driving and the tip of the reservoir broke so it threw out all the antifreeze I think when it broke it caught air don’t I gotta take out that air ?

[@rogermendenhall20]

You replaced the hose reverse from the way it came off as far as radiator and manifold connections. Guess it probably does not matter, just follows the curves of the other parts better.

[@christianturnbull5338]

Could I know what type of screw head to buy so that I can remove the engine cover? Should I just get a torx bit set that goes from T8-T60 or do I need a different set?

[@automotivetech-vet]

I think it's a t 30

[@christianturnbull5338]

@@automotivetech-vet Thank you, you said t30 in the video but I just wanted to make sure you were talking about the same thing and not some other tool that you had or another car part

[@Jay.Maliq1]

Do you have to use after market clamps or is that just your professional recommendation ?

[@automotivetech-vet]

Just a recommendation bro !!

[@SUPRTV]

Can I add coolant in my reservoir with a funnel to bleed it out while the engine is running? I don’t have that fancy funnel you have. Or can I add it in the radiator? I’m about to replace my upper hose and I look pretty low on coolant

[@gretchie35]

My son's new 2014 ats started to over heat this evening. Do you think this could be the problem? We just got him this car almost 13 grand pristine condition. Now, this happened and I hope nothing serious is wrong with it. I will have him look at this tomorrow to see if this could be why it's starting to over heat?

[@automotivetech-vet]

Very possible but if it is low on antifreeze it will overheat also make sure the cooling fans are coming on

[@user-st7lb7mw8f]

There's a small hole on the passenger side of the dex tank. Should that be there? Thank In Advance!

[@automotivetech-vet]

If u look closer it's blocked off doesn't pass through

[@rolandsnipes2372]

Will a cracked hose like that cause the air condition blow warm air

[@automotivetech-vet]

Yes

[@scottking6662]

Mine is cracked in the same 'Y' spot.. but when I go to disconnect from the radiator, i have coolant coming out. How do I avoid this.. Car was warm.

[@jwbart729]

My lower tank is empty still after i filled it and got all bubbles out been idling for 20 minutes and still no fluid in it

[@user-pn1ry3is8r]

Will the coolant in the funnel go into the reservoir once all the air has bled out ???

[@automotivetech-vet]

Yes when your heater starts blowing hot and no air bubbles your good to block off funnel and put cap on reservoir

[@se7890]

What error msg were you getting? I'm getting 2 msgs- IDE ENGINE-ENGINE OVERHEATING and AC TURNED OFF DUE TO HIGH TEMP. But I don't have a leak & my temp gauge goes from C to H back to C

[@automotivetech-vet]

It sounds like you have air pocket in the system just run it till the heat blows hot good indicator it is bled out

[@jessicarobinson3009]

Mines is doing the exact same thing.

[@ML-fb4qe]

Awesome vid! I have the pleasure of doing this on my ATS soon, plus changing out the radiator. It’s gonna be fun 😅 any tips on replacing the rad?

[@automotivetech-vet]

Lol may the force be with you my friend 😆 🤣

[@julioguerrero7031]

What size is each inlit from each hose of that reservoir to coolant tank i just want to put a aluminum y splitter with new hoses so it can last longer than that because they crack easy

[@automotivetech-vet]

3/8

[@tjsworld2338]

Should the reservoir be completely full to the top? On my 2015 3.6 ats it’s only about half way

[@automotivetech-vet]

Half way

[@automotivetech-vet]

Their should be a min max line on the reservoir

[@tjsworld2338]

@@automotivetech-vet ok thanks. I’ve seen some on KZbin and theirs is to the top.

[@automotivetech-vet]

It won't hurt it to put it to the top , if you don't see a min max mark just put it to the top

[@juancalixto5760]

Hello have the same issue where can I buy hose and what would part number will be I have a hard time finding hose thanks

[@Haitian_Rick]

My hose cracked in the same spot. Only thing I didn’t like bout the video is the two white lines blocking some of the video on top & bottom

[@christopherbright3315]

I just changed this out and I’m still running hot what else could it be

[@automotivetech-vet]

Could be air still in the system , does your heater blow hot when car is fully warmed up

[@dennybohan8455]

Been looking everywhere. What is the hose called in the back of the tank/reservoir with the connection, i think the textured looking hose is the vacuum hose, the hose your changing is inlet hose. But what the big hose in the back side of the tank called?

[@automotivetech-vet]

Reservoir outlet hose I'm pretty sure

[@dennybohan8455]

@@automotivetech-vet thankyou ! Gotta change that hose, because at the cross it slowly leaks. Guess while im at it, replacethe coolant tank too.

[@automotivetech-vet]

@@dennybohan8455 not a bad idea, if you pull the hose from the bottle u can take a pic and extract the oring inside and match it up with a new oring same size , most the time it's the oring that causes the seepage not the hose , hope that helps

[@britthall9137]

When I was calling around today I was using the name you put on your video and they were having a hard time finding it. And I’m worried I asked GM for the wrong one.

[@mitchellconner3818]
