Thank you so much for this video! I replaced my radiator on my own, despite not having ever done anything like that before. This saved me a lot of time and a lot of cursing
Question: i’m installing this radiator for my roommate, she bought the new radiator for an automatic transmission but her car is a manual transmission. This means that there is no transmission cooler. Can I still use the automatic transmission radiator and somehow block off the transmission cooler inlet/outlet??
Same car, The coolant from my reservoir doesn't go to the radiator or engine.. It sits there in the reservoir. Hose doesn't seemed to be blocked. I replaced the thermostat and the radiator should be fine.. Any thoughts?
So....Do you run the engine for 15 minutes with the radiator cap off? You aren't clear on this, and the yellow funnel device you have attached is obviously some sort of cap device that allows coolant to rise without being lost.
That funnel is a "burp bucket" and comes as a kit with different radiator cap fittings for vehicles. The funnel fits through an opening in the radiator cap and as the coolant circulates through the cooling system, air will pass up through the funnel. The air will escape through the top of the bucket. Great tool!

Thank for the video I'm getting ready to change mine in a 2002 outback with a 4 cylinder
Good luck with the radiator.
Great video. Glad you mentioned the transmission fluid level as that is often over looked.
Anyone have the video for doing this job on a 2001 Outback 2.5 L engine, 4 cylinder H4?
excellent, thank you very much.
If I wanted to replace the tensioner pulley in front of the radiator on the engine, do I need to remove the radiator?
metatech It’s a little tight but I believe you have just enough room to get it out
In my opinion it is very simple to remove the radiator and obviate the potential for damage.
Do you have to take the belts off?
Moto Vibes no not to remove the radiator

ALEXELY925 yes should be able to still use the automatic radiator. Just match it up with the old one to make sure that all the bottles lineup

CookSzn what what makes the current move is the water pump. I’ve seen the propeller come loose on the inside and not spin.
How to Automotive thank you I’ll take a look
