Gradually got used to the sound. It probably loosened over time and eventually she just got used to the sound so it didn't seem out of place.

a missing cap on the overflow reservoir wont cause overheating, the reservoir is only there to catch excess coolant escaping from the radiator cap and to let the coolant return back to the radiator once the engine is turned off and the coolant temprature starts sinking.
@stangaston90333 ай бұрын
Some overflows are pressurized. Not being able to hold that pressure affects the cooling of the engine.
@Halibrand3 ай бұрын
Those tanks would be called expansions tanks and not overflow reservoirs. Those systems are designed in an totally different way. the system in the video does not pressurize the reservoir and the cap wont cause overheating.

Love the videos - bro you need to charge for your diagnostic time! You really need to charge something. I know you are trying to be nice but you spend time driving and spend time figuring problems out. You deserve it - if you want to reward subscribers then give them a hat, shirt, bumper sticker something like that. I do appreciate your work and how honest you are - keep them coming. Think about always charging for your time - your drive there and diagnostic time is important. Even stealerships require you to pay 1 hour diagnostic time typically and the customer has to drive there and Wait! So your time is just as important don’t cheap yourself- up front minimum $50-75 to drive and provide a quote then give 50% discount if they do the work.

I literally could them for another 10,000 to 100,000 miles more... Fuel, fire,vacuum leak,etc. Life in some instances was much simpler. Keep up the good work!

Always great content parker! But i would have scared them into not driving the car without a coolant resivour cap. Thats 100% why the car overheated. And it only takes 1 overheat blow a headgasket and destroy these weak modern cars. That cap builds pressure which changes the boiling point of the coolant! But im sure you 100% know this!!!! But the owners of said vehical might not understamd the massive risk of deiving without the cap!
@GreenTeamMatt3 ай бұрын
That's just an overflow reservoir with an ordinary cap. The cap does not hold pressure and there's actually an open vented port on the upper part of the tank in case the vehicle overheats and the bottle fills up. Overflow cap being missing on an Infiniti G35 will not cause it to overheat, simply because the cap is higher up then the open breather port anyways. You may have some light spillover when the engine is very hot and coolant expands and you take a really hard corner, but that will be visible. Most modern cars these days do tend to use a pressurized reservoir mounted high in the engine bay or a "header tank" though. But this is an older traditional Japanese design using a pressurized radiator and a basic vented overflow reservoir. Not a dig at Matt, huge respect for him and his business and always helping customers out for so cheap, in this case for free. First thing I would've probably popped the radiator cap off and checked the fill level if it was me, though. And if I didn't have combustion leak tester, compression tester, leakdown tester, etc, I'd make sure it's not pouring coolant out when revving up on a cold engine. (indicating headgasket failure allowing exhaust gases to build pressure in an open cooling system with no radiator pressure cap). Again, huge respect/props to Matt and his business.
