In todays video i will show you guys How to do complete coolant flush and also How to use prestone radiator flush and cleaner, this cars radiator coolant was a bad quality and become so dirty, thats why we will use prestone radiator flush and cleaner to flush Muddy coolant after we flush the system many times with destined water and never use tap water - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I do a coolant flush every few years on my cars, I replace it with the OEM stuff and a new thermostat, I've never had a problem with rust or sludge. If you buy a neglected car then yeah maybe you need to do this.
Does the job !!
What happens if you don’t replace the thermostat?
@@Arturo-im1nhthen your car would over heat badly duh
@@Arturo-im1nh if it doesn’t need to be replaced then nothing lol. No clue why this guy changes his every 3 years, that’s reallyyy excessive. I’d only recommend changing it when it throws a code, or you notice it seems to get stuck a bit
@@LightsaberGoBrrrrrrhe buys napa aftermarket thermostat so he should change his that often lol
I hate to break it to some of you but there are several reasons why someone would chemically flush their cooling system. And why the Author of this short doesn't explain this to you guys is beyond me. The number one reason that someone would flush is if they let their coolant go too long without changing it because the inside of your hoses start to deteriorate slightly over time and can contaminate your cooling system as well as small gasket particles that break off from tightened parts or scraped gaskets from parts changes that falls into coolant ports ect.. Also, if you have mixed different types of antifreeze (and most do because they forget from fill to fill what type they used) it could and probably will start to sludge up inside your cooling system over time. There is also standard maintenance. If you have let it go too long the rods inside or your rad. will start to restrict and your car will start to run hot. Just saying guys. Maybe keep an open mind and thank the guy for passing on his knowledge to you all. Antifreeze doesn't last forever. It does need to be changed over a period of time. And as far as using tap water goes, I suppose if you have hard water it would be best to use distilled water. Although, in my 40yr career as a professional dealer trained mechanic I have never seen anyone use distilled water for a flush.
when the tap water reaches boiling temp it releases contaminates like lead and chlorine, although the quantity varies based on location. better just spend the extra $2 on gallon distilled water jugs. plus some of that water will stay in the block and contaminate your coolant over time
Distilled water in 1 gal bottles are the same price as drinking water where I am at. Over 40 years of experience, you should have spotted limescale and hard water deposits like I have. There is no reason to use tap water as it has impurities. Use distilled or de-ionized.
Well, when I changed the coolant on a motorcycle with a non-original one, I drained the old one out. Then I poured distilled water inside and started the bike and waited until the fan came on. Then I drained it out again and poured in new coolant. The reason I did this was to flush out the old coolant so the residue wouldn't mix with the new coolant. That I used distilled water instead of tap water so that the tap water would not leave scale in the engine.
50 yrs as a professional mechanic here, If you had the experience I had then I’d say distilled is not a problem at all, especially the Mountain Dew trick that some of you youngins don’t know about 👴🏻
Also turns a radiator into a coolant filter I used super flush and I clogged up the radiator old timer only use water to flush work's really we well if the cooling system has been maintained
This led to movement of whatever particles, I think from previous sealants and rad seals, even after flush my radiator and heater matrix and water pump all failed.
Using tap water instead of deionized / distilled water😢
Great video editing 👍
Thanks
Why was that radiator hose over inflated like that ?
Great idea if you then flush it out and add thermocure. Prestone radiator flush does not do enough if you have a rusty block. The rust is coming from the block normally. Thermocure removes the rust and coats the metal so it won't rust again. Prestone is OK for a normal flush and loosening up rust before using thermocure.
Good boy
Love your little bed for your adjustable pliers so cute and comfy
“The reservoir is empty, ohh let’s flush the coolant”
So you flush the old coolant first, then add the cleaner with distilled water and let it run for 10 minutes while the old coolant is drained?

extraordinary. can I do it at home as a beginner? sometimes i'm scared
Yes, here is the detailed video th-cam.com/video/jNSnNX0NTF0/w-d-xo.html
for some reason i’m pretty decent with fixing my car myself from the engine or wiring, but i never had luck with coolant refill/flushing without the car overheating. how’d yours go?
@@Wichan137 gotta make sure you get all the air pockets out of the system by letting it burp
Don't use tap water
NEXIA 2, 1.6 ? ???
What about checking PH levels before and after replacement of coolant ?
why? purpose of that? Just clean all the system and put new good coolant.
@Big 1 if your using detergent to clean the inside and dont wash it out properly , you can make it worse then it was before.
you could tell if you need to replace the coolant by measuring the ph, and putting fresh clean coolant in is not the answear, you might have leaking gasket and over a fairly short period of time your coolant will go bad again and your just wasting money
and most of those cleaners are just snake oil, if you have rust,sludge or lime inside , some liquids are designed to remove certain things, beacause you either need acidic or alkaline detergent to takle a certain problem at a time
@@alberta3157 The coolant itself it´s anticorrosive and stabilizator... So your problem is solved.... Take car.
@@Big1_ Its neutral, meaning it's not corrosive ...
It’s never that serious
And what good did it do to your engine? And what good did it for.your psyche?
lol
Just flush the radiator and put some new one. Dont start doing things to your you car you will mess it up.
If I buy a whole new tank do I still do this process or no?
No lmao
Regular water ? 🤔
I guess distilled will be best but will be costly plus using regular water should hurt the system much since it won't be sitting inside for long. Maybe last flush should be done with distilled for sure to stay on the safe side.
they know how to tame all that sand ✌
Now just give it a little while and you'll have to replace the water pump because you added new coolant it always happens just let me know if you didn't do it have a good day
I've replaced my coolant a couple of times now in my car and yet to replace water pump. Or have any coolant leaks....
Расширительный бачок новый поставил 😅

Привет, а если машина долго нагреваеться до 90град
Меняйте термостат.

Y'know there's a radiator petcock so you dont get coolant all over your engine. Also, switch every clip out for hose clamps if your taking them off.
DO NOT replace the hose clamps with the worm screw clamps. The ones that come with your car are “constant tension” clamps which apply the same tension hot or cold.
Tldr; don’t listen to this clown
@@Diabolica843Screw clamps work just fine over here
I enjoy your videos I don’t have to look at them that longbefore I know who’s doing them because of your blue handled tools. obviously you don’t worship at the snap on God‘s truck. Lol
Please don't follow this guy instructions. There are a few important information and a few step he didn't tell you. If you guy do what he has done. You car engine will over heat and eventually screw up your car engine.
Why is that
The only issue with flushing using water is that there's still water left in the block when you're done flushing. So sure you can fill it back up with 50/50 mix but it won't be true 50/50 due to the left behind water. I recommend you do coolant flushes with actual coolant and no water
@@DaDaDo661 just use 70/30 mix then 🤦♂️
He didn't bleed it after either so there is air trapped in the cooling system
@@Thedar561 yeah because you know exactly how much water is still in there dipshit
