Great videos, which led me to buying their products. This mechanic does an exceptional job explaining each step, consistently, in every video

[@MaggotCZ]

some of the steps are not necessary, like removing the coolant reservoir hose on both sides, the thermostat side will do, the coolant temp sensor with the lower radiator hose ? why ? Again, the thermostat side will do. The air filter housing ? why ? All these pointless steps lead to unnecessary wear of the parts by connecting/disconnecting them for no reason what so ever.

Question if after doing thermostat and water pump, you don’t have any heat anymore?

[@michaelkelley4421]

The wrench used to remove the fan clutch you called it “the tool” do you have the actual name or link for it?

[@SoupGunMachine]

Fan clutch wrench. They usually sell them in sets

[@user-hr5ox2zd7d]

I did everything you showed but when I put it back together the car runs funny and the water comes out from the cap and the vent screw. What did I do wrong

[@1AAuto]

+Cenovio Gonzalez We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

97°should be?

[@AlexanderCain-js9mm]

I don't like the way he takes the negative off cuz if it touches and metal and grounds it makes a connection it won't do nun but still and btw u don't need to disconnect battery to change the housing

[@willcarson7328]

DO NOT REMOVE THE BLACK RADIATOR JUST TAKE OUT THE BLUE PIECE IN THE CENTER

[@1AAuto]

+Will Carson We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

[@chrislemuz67]

You did too many extra unneeded moves
