You forgot to mention the coolant refill procedure before starting the vehicle. This would be fatal to the engine. Otherwise, this is a very good video. Thank you.

Disconnect the battery to replace thermostat?

[@goldenpun5592]

Love how it warns not to get antifreeze on your hand and then the guy just completely soaks himself with it. Also you don't really need to remove the whole air filter just the large intake tubes. And wouldn't it be wise to cover the intake hole with something to prevent any debris from getting into the turbo?

I was just about to rewind and you saved me a step. Haynes sure has gone down hill from my last hardcopy book. The fill and bleed procedure is the main thing I was after.

Atleast it won't leak!!

[@hotcha180]

@@brentfugett2700 could you explain how to get the air pockets out when refilling?

[@franksando635]

what is a torque specifications for that housing???? Cant find out any information on that at all over the internet

[@verdele]

just torque it by hand untill it's snug, it's plastic so you don't need to overtighten it, if it drips tighten a bit more

This video doesn't really make a good case for paying for the service. My complaints are echoed by the comments.

[@crlaw75]

Wow...not as simple as back then.

[@BruceGrubb-c4m]

Wow, if you need to be told how to open and prop the hood, this is probably beyond you, and you have a cooked engine since didnt tell you to refill it

[@johnbrooks9523]

Just great. These goombies are too docile to tell you in their doughy title they're waffling on about a petrol engine. Too bad if your problem is a diesel which is virtually mechanicly a totally different car.
