Well done video! FINALLY! A little too much explaining unimportant things (like how the garage slopes) but still very time and energy efficient! You even explain and show, for those of us who cannot get to the radiator how and why to pour it into the overflow tank! THANK YOU!
@@operator4108 WHO GIVES A FUCK about HIS situation?? I'm here FOR AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. NOT to hear his (or anyone else's) life fucking story. THAT is a whole different video. Maybe in your sleepy little town there's nothing else to do but watch rambling youtube videos but I have many other things to do with my day. Adults understand that, so you grow up, DUDE.
I had a leak on the radiator plastic on top and Around the corner the hose attaches truck was idling when I added the gray part straight into the radiator itself and the poured the rest into the tank and it seems to have worked walked in the house for a minute while it was running and it was completely dry
Can it cause any damage after use? It goes in a system and afraid that instead of replacing minor things I will end up paying more at the for big fixes.
Lol bars is older than your grandparents because it works there is no reason that bars should go to the engine unless you pour in the oil so u can buy the original bars which is better or kseal just make sure your flush your old coolant before doing this like this guy
pepper folks pepper. The good thing about pepper is it dissolves so you don't have to flush the crap out of your cars cooling system when you finally fix the actual issue.
Hi. I just put a new radiator 3 years ago. Drove my Nissan 4 hours each way for work. The car did not heated up but the coolant is leaking very slowly. Would it make any damage to try this?
The heater core is one part of the coolant system that can corrode and leak. Letting the coolant fully circulate with the heat on will help ensure the system is sealed properly.
No at least some and I would imagine a lot of vehicles have a vacuum ( newer vehicles probably electronic ) controlled heater valve so the only time the water circulates is when you turn on the heat My 1990 firebird had a factory vacuum control heater core bypass valve Past tense nowadays days had😂
did you flush after using it or just leave it in there because i used it on my truck and it worked but i didn't know if i had to flush it out after a while i hace half a year and no leaks
Doing it today, but new model is up, need an update. And my car is a Buick encore 2016. Any opinions on this car? It's my first car, still paying for it 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Gotta 2000 Buick Century... 😂 Fuck my life! Just to get to the radiator, I have to jack up the engine, remove the motor mounts, remove the brackets, remove the battery, remove the hoses, remove the little ring, remove the transmission lines, remove the fan... Now I am at the radiator... 😂 Party Time 🎉🎉
I don’t think I have a leak but when I checked coolant there was none . I replaced the therm, hoses, water pump good. I feel like the next thing would be my radiator ? Would I be safe to use this to prevent overheating ?
Check your radiator fan. It could be broken and not keeping the radiator cool enough causing it to overheat and expel a shit ton of coolant. Happened to me.
Sadly the other reason could be Head gasket leak. Get it checked out. Ive dealing with this BS for the past 2 years when the previous owner told me it had no problems. Sadly I've been down the Head gasket game many times. One time I bought a 1987 BMW 325s I literally just got it home. And the timing belt snapped. Sadly buyer beware is the law in Canada. Maybe I could have tried small claims and won. My brother had just started praciting mechanic. I found a fair mechanic that charged 2500 for the work. PJc automotive. Timing belt and new heads. These cars have interference engine so serious problems can happen I enjoyed the car for a few more fun years.
Hi yes I am currently experiencing a bad coolant leak the arrow thing on the dashboard is usually in the center of the C(cold) and the H(hot) but my 2008 Ford Edge just recently a few days ago started leaking little here little there but now has been leaking puddles of coolant under my car and I went to Autozone and I bought a Gallon of Shop Pro 50/50 antifreeze & coolant my car was all the way on the H and started to overheat and basically shut down so I pulled over turned the car off so it can cool down I popped my hood and looked at the coolant reservoir clear tank and there was absolutely no coolant inside so I took out the brand new Gallon of 50/50 I bought I took the cap off the reservoir put in my funnel started pouring in the 50/50 coolant little by little and as I continued to pour it just kept going down the tube of the reservoir like a toilet flushing? I mean I literally ended up pouring the whole gallon of 50/50 in and literally all of it went down the tube there wasn't a drop of coolant in the reservoir? Do you kbow why this is? Is that supposed to happen? But anyway I turned my car on and it was back in the middle between the C and H and I was able to drive home, I pulled up at my house turned off the car and hours later I went out just to turn my car on and check to make sure it wasn't back on the H or anything and the weird thing is that it was all the way on the C(cold) and coolant leaked out some when I first pulled up to my house but throughout the day did not leak as I did not drive it either, than this morning I got up got in my car started driving and it went back up but stayed in the center like its supposed to be so I was happy for that because my engine wasnt overheating and it stayed in the middle as I ran a few errands but on my way home it would go up a little bit towards the H but than back down to the middle so anyways I stopped and grabbed this exact "BAR'S LEAKS High Mileage Cooling System Repair" I have not put it in yet and I also bought another Gallon of Antifreeze Im going to apply both to my car tomorrow morning efore I head out! But can Someone PLEASE!!!! Answer why the whole gallon of 50/50 coolant went right down the tube and didn't stay in the reservoir?? Please I dont understand??
Yes after it sets. Drive it immediately after adding for 20 minutes give or take to make sure the thermostat opens, preferably with the heat turned up all the way. Then let it completely cool down for several hours minimum to let it set.
It contains sodium silicate so becareful. Once I found the liquid came in contact with my spark plugs and sealed up the ignition points and the next day, the car failed to start and the plugs had to be replaced.
Been using it for several hundred miles. Not a fucking peep! No leaking whatsoever. This stuff works as long as the leak in your car isn't severe.
Well done video! FINALLY!
A little too much explaining unimportant things (like how the garage slopes) but still very time and energy efficient!
You even explain and show, for those of us who cannot get to the radiator how and why to pour it into the overflow tank!

So, him giving extra details about his situation bothered you? lol Grow up dude.

Thanks for the video, i will give this a try, i got a 9-3 saab 2008 and is been leaking coolant she has 139k miles.
That's wild I came here after my 2011 Saab 9-3 started leaking.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Just curious, why did you not go with the Bars Liquid Aluminum instead ?
Thanks, Gerry

What worries me is that it will break down over time and the pieces will go throughout the engine and eventually destroy it.

Thank you
Can you put it in with coolant already in there .. after pouring in, should I add more coolant?
yes make sure the coolant level is correct after adding, then go for a drive to let is set in place
Crown Vic with a leak under the (metal) intake manifold, 2 bottles, did not work for me.
Fnck, I'm using this on my crown vic now!!!
i am in the middle of summer, doni nees to ride with the heater on or will it work with my air on? thank u for video

Hello again on the workbench
Thank you for another Great Video. I would like to know how it went since the last top off? Again thank you
So far so good but that's only been about two weeks.
@@OnTheWorkbench With the temperatures just now dipped into the eighties, Here in Florida. That should give you a real good test!!! Again thank you
I don’t know about Saab but most every vehicle circulates coolant though the heater core constantly; not when you turn the heat on.
No at least some and I would imagine a lot of vehicles have a vacuum ( newer vehicles probably electronic ) controlled heater valve so the only time the water circulates is when you turn on the heat
My 1990 firebird had a factory vacuum control heater core bypass valve
Past tense nowadays days had😂
600+ Days! I'd say it works.

Is this okay to use on a 2016 volkswagon passat ? if so , does it go where i put the coolant ?
Did u try it?
So the whole bottle goes in ??
Depends on the size of the system.
I hope it lasts me 6-9 months atleast 😅

Jesus crist, who is going to read this? 😮
@@IvanJankovicDC well you must've
I’m literally experiencing the same thing! Did it work for you?
😂😂😂😂😂
I was laughing while reading his thing simply of how long it dragged. @IvanJankovicDC
But I read ALL of it nonetheless.
Can u drive with it in?
Yes after it sets. Drive it immediately after adding for 20 minutes give or take to make sure the thermostat opens, preferably with the heat turned up all the way. Then let it completely cool down for several hours minimum to let it set.
Hopefully this works for my f150
Does this work on any car?
It contains sodium silicate so becareful. Once I found the liquid came in contact with my spark plugs and sealed up the ignition points and the next day, the car failed to start and the plugs had to be replaced.
Must have a headgasket leak. No other way I can think of coolant would come on contact with a spark plug
@@robrobrobrobify yes I mean head gasket leak not cooling system leak
Ok cool. Gonna try this today.
did it work ?
This stuff is bed for your car it clogs flow
False!
your car was already bad to begin with
