Great and informative video, thanks for doing it. I was in my car earlier today and my heaters were blowing cold air? Checked my coolant levels, i got a leak on a pipe i think. But your video showed me how to top it up. Id never done it before, usually leave it to my garage...im embaressed now :)...thanks again.
I need some help with a leak of fluid of yellow in colour, the hose it's coming from is located at the back of the engine bay. It appears to be disconnected from something or missing a part.
Thanks for the video! Are there any drain plug on the engine block, that should be open to drain the coolant fluid fully? Or is it enough to open the valve on the radiator?
Just my two cents worth. It's worth flushing through the radiator by using a hose pipe or some fresh water then refill. Also use a funnel to reduce spill image.
5L should be enough in theory. However I would recomend having at least 6L as you may spill some and / or want to top up the coolant later on. Best to have a bit spare just in case and not have to go to shop have way through the job to get more coolant :)
Definitely. I keep an extra bottle of coolant in my trunk. My S40 is old and the previous owner didn't take good care of it, so it's bleeding coolant very slowly somewhere I can't tell. Easier just to top it off once in a while. Though the radiator did bust on me.
@@strikemi8036 I wouldn't know at this point. The car was totaled in a pretty bad crash a few months ago. So I suppose it's not a problem anymore. Thanks for the advice, though!
If the thermostat is damaged it may not be opening. If the thermostat doesn't open, then coolant can't get through to cool the engine. If coolant can't circulate, then the engine will overheat. Watch out on the temperature guage. If it goes into the red, stop the engine, you don't want to damage it.
@@itbestuk Mine had a small crack in the radiator overflow tank. I put some sealant on it and now works fine, but still gonna look for a replacement tank. Take care!!
happy new year Mark, thanks for the info ! ! ! !BRAVO ! !

Great vid!
Thanks for the video but how do you clear the system of airlocks?
Thanks, nice and very informative without "talky sh*..."
Nice video. Calling Murphy! Something is always wrong if I put the under engine cover on before I take a test ride.
Also after coolant change run the car with the expansion tank OFF. air should just make its way out.
Thank you very much

@@innawoodsman is the car smoking? might be a headgasket going bad and coolant getting into the engine slowly

Thanks so easy, I didnt even have to remove the guard, I just used a cut length of hose and a funnel.
What do you mean
If the thermostat is damaged it may not be opening. If the thermostat doesn't open, then coolant can't get through to cool the engine. If coolant can't circulate, then the engine will overheat. Watch out on the temperature guage. If it goes into the red, stop the engine, you don't want to damage it.
can you show to you tube how to fill washer fluid in a 2006 volvo s40
Great video however, you are not saying what mix of water and coolant you added... was it 100% coolant?
How do one change the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors on this Volvo model..mine is 2001
where are the air locks located and why didnt he show us that part in detail?
a little question if the thermostat is damaged the temperature and the pressure on the car can raise up?
And how do you remove these air bubbels?
no correct! you only changed 50% coolant. engine internal old coolant still in system.
how much coolant do you need? 5L is enough?
What’s an air lock and how do you remove it?
I believe its just air that gets trapped in the coolant lines
Hi all, my heating keeps blowing cold for a while then goes back to hot, could this be related to my coolant being low?
Mine does same thing, what did you find out? Im doing a radiator flush this weekend to see if that helps. (I will let you know what happens.)
Burp it air in coolant system .
@@stevebernardbeaverton7625 The hot air pipe had corroded, I wrapped some silver foil around it and works fine.

What about flushing the heater? Protip: Tilt the bottle on the side when pouring for more control.
Tank cap off *
You talk to much
