Thank you sir. Made this look very easy.
Glad to say I successfully performed a very needed coolant flush 👍👍👍thank you for the tutorial
It's a pleasure. Hope all is well
Thank you friend, I dismounted all the cooling system since had to change the radiator, how to have the matrix cleaned has been very important to me
Hello my 1996 carburetor caddy left hand side indicator comes on when park ligths switched on. The rigth side park light flashes when left indictor put on
Hi paul what i do is take out the thermo the close the block ontop and remove than pour in my coolant till it overflows a bit than pour in the rest of my coolant, could be wrong but has worked for me for years
Hi Ashley. I think I know what u saying... If that's worked for you then stick to that method.... But I do appreciate your input and for visiting the channel hey. All the best
Hi there Paul, Your videos have become really helpful with working on my first car (1986 Jetta mk2 CLX Automatic)Carburetor model
Ive got an issue that i just cant seem to figure out, When i change gear to Neutral and Park the rev goes up to 2000rpm and when put into drive it drops back to normal,if i adjust the carb for idle to go lower the car dies when put back into drive. Any suggestions on what could be the issue for this?
Hi..Thank you.. It could be an Airleak causing the high Rev.. Did u check for Airleak around the pipe running from the brake booster?
Hi ther I've got a problem on my mk1 my heatgadge goes up very kwik and top pie and bottom pipe gets hot kwik
Great video... Just wondering when you flushing the matrix where exactly is the other end of the hose etc... Also do you have a video on changing the heater matrix
In the engine bay ,The inlet and outlet pipes are right next to each other, just after the heater control valve ..and in the cabin under dashboard both these pipes are attached to the matrix . So when doing a flush ,... obviously from the engine bay side ,with both pipes detached ,just stick the hose in the inlet and you will see the water come out the outlet ..
And no,I don't have a video on changing the matrix
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thanks. Any idea if you need to flush the whole system or drain off entire coolant in order to change out the heater matrix
Hi Paul, I have followed your instructions and flushed out the system on my Mk1 Golf GTI 1983 model, I have also replaced the thermostat and the sensor switch too, refilled with new antifreeze 40 to 60%, the tempature still rises to maximum, fan cuts it at the right time and cools it down a little then it rises to maximum again please advice what the problem could be, also my heater controls has packed up all together and nothing comes on, could this be a faulty relay problem if so which relay is to be replaced, regards.
Hi.. Have u bled the cooling system.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Yes I have bled the system and waited till the water started to come out of the reservoir making sure all the air was out
Hi Paul I got a MK1 golf, thermostat replaced when I changed the radiator switch. Do I just flush with water until there’s no more rust and then pour antifreeze? One of my mates said I should pour the antifreeze into the radiator directly.
Hi there, Flush as much as u can with water., until water looks clear.. Flush heater matrix too. Always rusty in there
Hi Paul.
Does the same princepals apply on a a 1.4i mp9 motor?
Hi Aiden. Yes same principles apply. Flushing radiator & heater matrix, and removing thermostat. These things are all the same on older and newer model mk1's. Thanks for your comment
Hi Paul
Some advice please. On my way home from work driving through the suburb with stops and starts the fan will kick in after about ten minutes of driving. This doesn't happen in the morning on the way to work. Same distance and time. Also, after I come off an highway driving for a longer period, then similar stops and starts because of traffic lights the fan will kick in. It does go off after a few minutes every time though. The heat Guage needle does up go to just about half way. Not higher. Is this normal for the fan to kick in after a short journey with stops and starts? I also notice that on hot days, the fan will kick in a little earlier than normal. Thank you
Hi there. Thanks for your comment
. How long have you had your Thermo switch in,?... Did you try replacing it...?.. You sure you don't have a puegot switch in?
I haven't changed it since I bought the car last year june
@@desmondreddy9463. Have a closer look at the thermo switch.. It may solve your issue. It may be faulty, or it can be a Peugeot switch.. The idea is just to try another switch and see if there's a change. Thanks.
Oxygen sensor on fuel injection golf 1 location please
Kwaai.
Thanks
Does it mean you don't need to mix coolant with water
Hello can I just use a radiator flush liquid to clean my pipes or it's a big no no.
Yes
.but it depends how bad your pipes are ...if there is rust build, up in pipes then rather replace the pipe.To determine if pipes are ok, squeeze pipe and if it feels like crunchy you have some kind of rust build up.
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy thanks I found the heater pipe had some rust in it, I massaged the pipe and put a radiator flush in the water bottle n drove for 15 minutes to heat the car up... Now all my leaking problems seem to have went away... You are God's gift to us who don't know much about cars, I have learned so much from you.. thank you very much.
@@lordstark5292 hey thanks sir ..I'm glad I have been able to help you ...👌☺️
@@pjs-golfmk1-diy Hi, i have a 2009 model i bought about a year ago, a few days ago when i was servicing it i realised it had no coolant, even water and i suspect this was the case since i bought it. The car doesn't overheat though and I don't understand why, any advice on what i could do?
