[@donschoppe5516]

Great explanation. When I have the time, I typically leave the funnel in place (loosely covered to avoid debris entry) at the end of the burping process. I remove it after the system cools. This avoids handling of the hot coolant and allows some additional coolant to be drawn into the system as it contracts. After removing the funnel with remaining cooled liquid, I then just draw some coolant out of the reservoir until it's at the proper level.

[@HowToWithLech]

Nice 👊👍

If you happen to see this message I was just wondering if I wanted to go to Pick-N-Pull and get a housing outlet coolant system would it work as long as it's the same year as mine and will it work okay? And for how long you think until I will need to get a brand new one or should I just get a brand new one?

[@HowToWithLech]

@@macaugustine2298 if you need to replace i would suggest getting new. you can pickup new radiator for like $60-$70 online. (you dont need the all aluminum one) thermostat should be under $20 if you dont need housing with it. unless youre picking something in great condition and cheap. otherwise might not be worth it as who knows how long that one will last.

[@0eroOverride]

Oh yeah. If you open the radiator cap.. with any old rubber coated cotton glove, you can bleed the overflow hoses by forcing air and coolant into the passage meant for over pressure by moving the cap until it gurgles lol 😂 then it’s relatively safe once the temp drops. Even hot. I’d recommend like.. getting to thermostat temp then waiting 5-10min.

How do you draw the coolant out of the reservoir once it’s full?

[@DocHicksTv]

I hope you still answer questions on this video, i was just in a accident in my other vehicle and my family is down to one car and Im needing to use this tool to get the air out the coolant system. This is where Im confused. Was your coolant system totally empty? I was doing mine after a flush, so it was bone dry. One confusion is I thought the temperature gauge in the car dont suppose to move at all. Ive heard that if your temperature gauge moves its still air in the system OR are you saying only through this process the temperature needle in tbe car should drop down when the thermostat opens? After doing this the temperature needle in the car shouldn't move right? Respectfully, you said you want to wait till you see the bubbles stop in the funnel.. as you notice the bubbles stopped once you started closing the bleeder. So do you keep letting it come out the bleeder till you stop seeing bubbles in the funnel or wait till you have a steady stream coming out the bleeder? Did it stop showing bubbles because your reservoir was full or the best thing to do is let some more out the bleeder close it and wait till no bubbles in funnel before the reservoir gets full? Last question, its 2 or 3 adapters I could use. The red one fits into the smaller hole in the reservoir and the metal cap fits on but the gasket falls off the red one when pulling it out.. the black adapter fits more to the top main entry of the reservoir and pushes down snug when i put the metal cap on. The yellow one i have fits like yours but I cant get the metal cap to twist on. Did you have a little struggle getting your metal cap on to make sure its air tight? Sorry for so many questions, this is the best video explaining how to use this tool. There youtube channel instructions are horrible.

[@HowToWithLech]

hi. I had to change hose and thermoastat so most of coolant was gone yes. once all replaced, I filled with coolant etc, and started to the burping the air out process. its not end of the world if you don't do it. but do the bleeder valve at least if have one. but its good to do it, to get rid of the air pockets in the hoses etc. as to the kit, as long as you can mount it, so coolant don't leak out when you have it filled you are fine. little drip you should be fine. they say adapters are for all makes but who knows. if bubbles mostly gone you should have most air gone. maybe 10 min or so for the process . or whatever I mentioned in the video. I hope this help. best of luck.

We supposed to get a lot of snow tomorrow friday. Between the cold weather, crapy weather and having the funds has been a pain in the rear to get things done outside. Unfortunately i have no garage . any how my truck is not over heating . I know the activator to go from cold to hot is not working on the heater. So i tried to cut a whole to move the door on it to put it so i can get heat but the door seems spring loaded and just goes back. Seems the top radiator hose has air in it at least it feels like it. I put a new thermostat on too. The heater hoses barely feel warm going into the heater core. I even manually moved the heater activator if that's what its called and checked vacuum . I tried burping the coolant system and still got air in the lines. The only thing i seen to do is to loosen the heater core hose to see if i can get the extra air pockets out the top hose ? Its been a pain in the rear trying to fig this out. Like i said its not over heating . so i bought a car heater offline its coming saturday .

I was driving down the road and noticed a mist coming from the front driver side coolant tank, looked over and saw the temperature gauge climbing so i pulled over ,cut the motor and lifted the hood and all the coolant was in the overfill tank,and none was in the hose going from radiator to the thermo housing?While it cooled down while i was waiting for the tow truck i looked under the hood and the coolant was going back into the main tank!

👍. Thanks for sharing

@@HowToWithLech Come to find out it is the coolant housing, I think it's the mech who is trying to cover his as because they did some work on the intake gasket a week ago and didn't properly burp the system!

[@davegibson3763]

@@HowToWithLech Towed it back to the shop come to find its the coolant housing,I think its the mech trying to cover his ass ,last week they replaced an intake gasket and they probably didn't burp the coolant correctly!

@@davegibson3763 not suprised. why i try to avoid dealer or mechanics these days. dont have one i trust anymore. last time dealreship did some work to my car, i later noticed they left my air intake disconnected from the manifold. another time they stripped my oil drain plug and tried to tell me i have pay $900 for new oil pain.

[@codyshuey258]

What does it mean if coolant stops coming out of the bleeder all together, and its just steam?

[@HowToWithLech]

Do you have enough coolant in the system? Hmm not sure to be honest. Possibly thermostat not working ..

[@codyshuey258]

@@HowToWithLech yes my coolant reservoir is completely full

I have a Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Litter e tine 4 Cyl . I can hear a gnashing sounds like water in the top of my engine . Is that a Air in the intake .How do I get rid of that slashing sounds like a water ?Then I had a flaming engine lights But my car runs good How do I fixed this issue

[@HowToWithLech]

Hard to tell without seeing. Have a mechanic look at it next oil change.

[@hypedkickz113]

Very nice video! A quick question, my cars AC gas leaked out. How do I bleed the system without any hot air?

[@HowToWithLech]

Ac should not affect it. As you’re turning the heat up only.

[@frankgonz31]

I'm having air bubbles on a Pontiac 2007 torrent and I think I don't know ,maybe somebody said it could be a blown gasket but I doubt it I did the same bleeding out air almost a year back and everything went fine and it's happening again so wonder why .I never had this issue in any other cars with air bubbles.help

[@HowToWithLech]

Maybee do pressure test for possible leaks. Have Vidoe posted for that too. Gasket also possible

[@AMarinelikeperson]

Thank you for making this video and the detailed instructions.

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks for watching 👊

[@andrewbacon7958]

I replaced my thermostat then filled it took it on a drive got to hot went home looked in the morning have tiny leak but today I drove it for a hour then it said reduced engine power?

[@HowToWithLech]

No sure. All replaced and installed correctly. That should not cause that issue

[@texxter4858]

Great vid! I only have one question, you didn't remove the excess liquid as it will "overflow and drain out". How does that work? Does it go back into the overflow reservoir? I've been told to not add coolant above the max line for my 78 TA. What should I do?

[@HowToWithLech]

Correct. Remove it. Or overflow drain should do it. But better to remove

[@davee4990]

Thank you 😊 this was a great video much appreciated 👍

[@HowToWithLech]

Thanks 👊

[@Mongoose147]

Can your thermostat work some of the time and then get stuck closed?

[@HowToWithLech]

Yes.

[@Packer1290]

I notice when I turn sharply, I’ll lose my heat for a few seconds. Is this a symptom of air in the coolant system?

[@HowToWithLech]

Possible. But not sure honestly

[@zo4certain]

can you please send me the link to the exact reservoir funnel kit you used in the video? Thanks! im now a SUBSCRIBER OF YOURS!

[@HowToWithLech]

Link is in the description. Thanks 👊

[@nealhere]

great video for no radiator cap cars. I am off to give it a go. I'll let all know my outcome.

[@HowToWithLech]

👊

[@jamie117warr]

So what do you do if your coolant is above the maximum after this ?

[@HowToWithLech]

remove with hose pump, or something of that sort. but honestly the reservoir has overflow, so it will just leak out.

[@junebug1005]

Would this work on 08 Saturn vue xr I can fix almost anything on a car but when it comes to this I’m no good but I went out and brought one of those funnels if you over fill the overflow tank just let it cool down then take a little from the radiator

[@HowToWithLech]

Yeah. Idea is the same. Should work fine

[@syndecheeshun1844]

Thank you I have one question I already placed not even one gallon of coolant in my engine I can I still do this process or will I need to drain all of the coolant and start this procedure from the begining?

[@HowToWithLech]

That’s fine. You need it full to burp it. So keep going 👊

[@dabuleree]

Got a question bro one side of my tank is full but the other side is not I don't understand

[@HowToWithLech]

You mean the overflow portion?
