Changing The Coolant On a

[@tonpear5909]

I've seen some butchery things before, but this is amazing. Wow! Coolant just shooting into the rear bonnet area.

[@J.PROJECTZ]

That’s correct !! at the end I just rinse the whole compartment and boom!! no more coolant anywhere Regards.

Yes I explained that in the video you’re correct

2:30 I believe that the Pre-2014 refers to previous to 2014

Another great video, my friend! Quick question. How do you release the air from the system?

@ Right on. Thanks 🙏

[@evilutionltd]

Pre 2014 means 2014 and before. If people really do want to follow this questionable method, at least pre-mix the coolant to a 50:50 ratio. Using 100% concentrate will lower the boiling point of the fluid, reducing the cooling ability of the car. The majority of the cooling is done by the water, this additive is just to stop it freezing, to add corrosion inhibitors and to stop organic matter growing in the system.

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Yes it is, but I choose this one because is more oily and that’s what I was looking for. And for the dilution I didn’t because I used straight water to flush it out, but that’s why I mention that I can add water . Regards.

Also I edited the tittle so people can read the description.

hello again my friend..i would just make another request..can you make another video on how to change the service belt on a smart 453?the V Belt..thank you in advance and keep the good work...

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Yes !! I was actually about to do the belt and the spark plugs

How do you change the thermostat in this same car?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Making a video soon stay tuned

[@alvhinfacun7859]

hello my friend,i just want to ask if i can use an oil extractor to extract the coolant..by attaching a hose to the valve,while adding first demineralized water to clean it and then adding the new coolant then..thank you..

[@J.PROJECTZ]

U can do that, but the problem is that you won’t get the coolant that’s inside the engine past the thermostat that’s why I turn on the car to operating temperature with the water hose connected.

[@dmitriyp7701]

My beloved little one. I have it

Are you using a garden hose no distilled water 😱

[@darrells1806]

@@J.PROJECTZ another question that I’m concerned about with my 2016 453. Should my engine fan be running all the time or only when the engine reaches a certain temperature? I noticed your fan was running when you were checking for coolant leaks. Every once in a while, we will smell something that is hot after driving the car but the coolant temperature never indicates that the engine is hot. I’m wondering if the fan has to run continuously or only at certain temperatures. The coolant temperature runs slightly above 180 but the little fan in the engine compartment is not operating.

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@@darrells1806 if the a/c it’s on it will run all the time if not only when it reaches about 180-190*

[@alvhinfacun7859]

thank you very much for the tutorial...but is the turbo model smart 453 also the same as the normal 453 model?because mine has yellow coolant on it...does the valve location also the same?thank you very much again...keep up the good work..

[@J.PROJECTZ]

I’m not sure if there’s a non turbo 453smart at least here in USA

[@J.PROJECTZ]

And u only need to start the car to let the oil cycle through the gears ⚙️ after that it doesn’t matter if it’s running or not I didn’t see any difference on the level.

Still waiting on the thermostat change out vid, car over heats when using a/c

[@J.PROJECTZ]

I’m still waiting on the part to come in 😢

[@romanbarr]

@J.PROJECTZ I don't know what else to check besides that where is it even located I can't find it?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@romanbarr check your fans

[@romanbarr]

@J.PROJECTZ I did they are working

[@eriksaenz21]

Bro thx for the video did you use tap water to mix 50/50 ?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

No, u have to use distilled water. Or you can buy the coolant that’s 50/50 and ready to use.

[@1491988k]

How many antifreeze need if I use premixed redy to use? Is 5 litres enough

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Yes

[@kelliBruce-q3l]

Question: I have had the coolant changed to the recommended Zerex G40. My operating temperature changes a tiny bit throughout driving, which I never noticed beforehand. The gasket is fine. I'm not positive about the thermostat, but heat and air work well. The car has not overheated, so I'm guessing air. So how do I make sure the air is completely out??

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@@kelliBruce-q3l using the hose right behind the reservoir turn the car on and make sure coolant comes out clean

[@kelliBruce-q3l]

Ok. While the car is running with the heater on or a different way? What do you mean "clean"? Smooth? No bubbles? (I do not need to open the back?)

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@@kelliBruce-q3l yes car on and yes no bubbles 🫧 no need to open the back, but if you think u need go right ahead.

[@kelliBruce-q3l]

Out of curiosity and learning: Why do I not need to open the back?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@@kelliBruce-q3l because is a close loop system

[@karlmabe1649]

OK mine is leaking from flex pipes underneath at manufacturer pipe clips where it joints the long pipes to front on car

[@J.PROJECTZ]

Try removing them and cleaning them 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@karlmabe1649]

​@J.PROJECTZ ok Thanks I did over fill the radiator bowl with anti freeze just over max . When noticed leaking underneath. Those manufacturers clips look difficult one on each pipe can you reuse them?

[@J.PROJECTZ]

@karlmabe1649 I’m sure u can reuse them

[@alvhinfacun7859]

if i cannot find the valve on the back,can i only use the valve infront to get rid of the old coolant?thank you...

[@J.PROJECTZ]

If u have a 453 the valve should be there.
