[@malcolmnicholls2893]

Buy a few plastic trim poppers beforehand. Great vid.

I changed thermostat and water pump just last week and did bleeding process and my cars been floating around the 93 degrees c mark which is like 200+ f going to do this this weekend thanks. Also hearing guys washing out rads too

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Nice! Lots of stuff stuck in there. I really felt better seeing the temp drop after doing this.

[@praggypopsqa4652]

Well illustrated. Good teaching.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Thanks!

[@silverplug]

This is awesome! My car is really old (and super cheap), so I'll try doing this...if I can figure out where the radiator is :)

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Hmmm. Yeah... I bet it'll have lots of dirt in it. Just look at your temperature to see if it actually needs to be cleaned. Is it running hotter than years ago?

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Wow there sure was a lot of dirt in there but you got it sparkling clean.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

=D Seems to work so far. Dropped down in temp when I drive now.

[@slizzard173]

Thanks for such a concise video!

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

You're welcome!

[@chrishenley3218]

Hey nice job and thanks for sharing. Short and informative :-). Have you considered putting some grills in the bumper to prevent future debris build up? If so I'd be interested in your install video.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Nope. I would just clean it again. It's simple enough to do and costs less.

How do you bleed the radiator on a 2002 porches boxter

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Well... that might require a new video but unfortunately I no longer own this car. RIP 2001 Boxster.

[@aurelianradu5234]

You can clean after with solution and pression water

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

I suppose I got sick of fixing the car and ended up trading it in. I'm pretty glad I no longer have to use those orange wash stuff to get my black greasy hands clean now.

[@ewliang]

:O I never knew you had a DIY channel. Came from your main channel.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Thanks for coming over to this side! Crazy stuff awaits here! O_o

[@vladimiralvarez1162]

Can you hose those radiators down? Or you can only vacuum them ? Greetings from California

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

You wont get the dirt behind the radiators if you just hose them. You have to remove the bolts.

[@nelsonaldana9060]

When was getting hot did the warning light came up?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

No. It only got slightly hotter than normal.

[@Naturenerd1000]

Wow that's a crazy amount of dirt that collects in there. How did a cigarette butt get in there? Will this give you better gas mileage too?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Probably not really. It keep the engine not as hot which will prolong the life of the parts inside.

[@Naturenerd1000]

I'm good at taking stuff apart just not putting it back together again.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Better take a picture of all the screws?
