Hey mate, I'm not sure where the heater hose is of my hilux 99 but I remember flushing before straight through the radiator cap. I guess that's the same thing?
@@driftcarsjp OK thanks will have to look into it I have a 2012 sr5 hilux same motor as your mates. Your cooling system/radiator flush info vid was good didn't realise it was that easy so thanks for that, I will be doing a radiator flush this weekend cheers mate
@@nocomment2496 6 litres is after the flush as you will always have water still in the cooling system as you can never drain it all out without removing a block drain plug.
You only got half the coolant out? If it’s worth doing it’s worth doing right. Firstly the heater should have been on Hot before you flushed. There’s a drain bung on the block to drain the most of the remaining coolant. There’s also a 3/8 bleed screw on the top of the radiator that will allow you to fill most of the system from the beginning. Kind of a waste buying 12lts of coolant and only using half..?
This is done as a dealer would do it. No dealer mechanics drain the block. This is to help a diy-er change there coolant without making it difficult for them.. Thanks for watching...
I'd love to know how the hell you get that block drain bung out without taking a heap of parts off the suspension or from the side of the engine. I assume dealers use a similar method to this. I was also considering this method but include a couple of run and circulate cycles also, to keep diluting and draining out the old coolant.
@@driftcarsjp doubt very much there are many Toyota dealerships that don't have a coolant exchange machine. No point doing it this way if you end up with 6 liters of tap water in the system = 1930's style corrosion! True.
Nice content and easy to follow. I have seen others doing a different way. First they fill the white bottle with coolant and also next to the small hose if you look at the number 45382 on top there is a square and they unscrew it and with a small funnel they fill up there till it reaches the top. Start engine and continue filling it till it overflow and close it. What is your opinon on that? Thanks.. Watch this video th-cam.com/video/T8OZzFD_XBA/w-d-xo.html

mate, i watched the others vidoes with the hilux, all I can say is thank you very much. I wish your whole channel was dedicated to fixing hiluxs
A tip: you can watch series on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.
@Jakob Joshua Yup, been watching on Flixzone} for years myself :)
Cheer mate! You just saved me a lot of money, you are a legend!
Cheers for the video mate, very helpful. 👌🏻
Your a top man, well presented and great infomation
Great results!
Thanks you sir!
Cheers for this mate, been wanting to do mine before summer properly sets in so this is just in time!
Keep up the good work mate 👍
Awesome, cheers man.
Shouldn't the heater tap be switched on during the flushing period to remove all of the old coolant?
The cooling system can only be flushed with distilled / deionized water. tap water contains salts and alkalis!
Cheers for sharing 💯👍
EXCELENT!!!
Thermostat replacment ?
Is that a Kids pool thing - the green one lol ?
👍👍

You want to remove a heater hose so the whole system gets flushed.
Does the coolant level need to be on the B line? Or if its between the other two lines its fine?
Between the 2 Lines is ok
Hi mate correct me it's slow bleed sucking in coolant the car doesn't over heat?
You can bleed for about 20mins before the car will get too hot. As it's not under load it won't overheat.
Any chance you putting diff breathers and trans breather on your mates hilux. Cheers
I think it already has diff breathers. But keep commenting on some mods it needs.. i keep telling my mate it needs a lift kit etc...🤣
@@driftcarsjp a lot of people are putting catch cans on there 4wds do you think it is beneficial
@@ianpaten yep! It is a cheap investment and keeps the crap out of your intake. And there so easy to fit..

@2:16 what is that clear whiteish tube the person has installed on the engine ?
A line for a boost gauge.
@@driftcarsjp oh ok, had my scratching my head. my line for the boost gauge doesn't go there, that's why I had to ask you.
Hello mate, how many kilometers till I need to flush my coolant ?
Every 40000ks or every 2 years.
Is that coolant premix?
Yep, I prefer concentrate though. It was what my mate bought..
Hi sir, how many liter coolant to be use to fill into the system.?
It's about 6liters
@@driftcarsjp oic..because according to the manual it about 11 liters.
Ok tq your info sir.

You forgot about the bleed. My car took 8 Litres

Only used 6 litres when it’s says the car takes 11.1 litres of coolant
You will never get all the coolant/water out unless you drain the block..
I had the same thing on my Prado 1kd. 12 litres capacity and I only got 6 out
