Good coolant video but my guy that timing sounds like it's about to go. Trust me my 2017 Tiguan just did it. That's a bad rattle

Great video. I need to do this job but I'm a bit uneasy to run the engine dry like that. How long did you let it run for? T.I.A.
@kensinn29376 күн бұрын
You mentioned about turning on the vehicle, to turn on the heater so you can flush the heater coil. Are you saying to actually turn on the engine, without any coolant?

So you can just take the hose off the tank reservoir on top right these systems circulate the fuild

sooo, after installing empty/cleaned expansion coolant tank you ran car w/o water or coolant?

You can always use a flat head screwdriver to get between the rubber hose and the plastic thing that the hose is going over as well to maneuver it off a little more easily

Is it necessary for the car to be somewhat warmed up to do this? Or can I just do it cold

If it’s that brittle it was probably gonna break soon anyways. it’s a good thing it snapped in your garage and not on the road!

@sanchir823 ай бұрын
when you were flushing the heater core, did you run the car without any coolant in it? if so can running the car without any new coolant possibly damage the main water pump? i believe it is not good to run a water pump dry
@bradleygray21033 ай бұрын
When I do my cars (inc a 1.8tsi EA888), I dump the coolant and fill with water from the garden hose (soft water where I live so it's no problem) and use the car normally for a few days and turn the heater on occasionally. Repeat until the water runs clear and then do the coolant/demineralised water

to flush the heater core, you ran the engine with the lower hose disconnected?

Is it safe to run an engine with no coolant? I guess as long as it doesn't overheat but I feel like it wouldn't take long

I'm replacing the heater hose lines that connect to the secondary auxiliary pump. The plastic ones I had cracked over time I went with the doorman steel lines. Do I have to drain the whole system out in order to do this?

Where was the engine Coolant filter in the reservoir? I might have missed it.
@bradleygray21033 ай бұрын
What engine coolant filter? None fitted AFAIK
@pietjepuk87943 ай бұрын
@Spiderbug23 there should be no coolant filter in the reservoir! Nowadays almost all new coolant reservoirs come with a moisture absorber bag in it. Don’t forget to remove that bag otherwise it can burst and destroy your entire cooling system!

If you mean a peacock valve, they tend to be small. Your going to miss large debris in my opinion. Opening the hose helps ensure your pushing everything out.

@paulkey65804 ай бұрын
just dont let it overheat since you have no coolant in there. Just turn it on with the heater blasting, and monitor it quickly by running back to the front and once you see its finishing up, engine is getting warmer. Just turn it off. Than plug it all back up and do the last steps. No need to worry about air in the lines as it has a system that does it by itself. Just close the cap once done and monitor it for next few days to make sure your levels are perfect.
