Most youtubers feel compelled to do small talk and give backstories rather than just get on n do it like seen here. Good stuff man
He is babbling too
Appreciate it 👊
I replaced the reservoir on my car and didn’t bleed out the air bubbles. This was by far the best video on TH-cam explaining how. Thanks man!
Yikes
I didn’t bleed out the coolant when I replaced my reservoir
But I’m here to learn house cause I replaced
Lower and upper manifold gaskets and hella coolant spilled out lol😂😂😂😂
Good job from an old retired tech,you explained it very well,even a dummy couldn’t screw this up.
I checked other videos and yours is the best.I can suggest a cork from a wine bottle works well for the funnel.
thanks for the feedback. really appreciate it.
I fked up i cant get the air out 😢
Keep overheating after 10mins
@@hubsun700damn bro😭
@@jspades5100 i removed the thermostat lmao
Thank You this was probably one of the best explained videos with the bleeder valve and how to properly use it.
Appreciate that 👊
80 mph test passed on my Mazda Three final installment thank you so much
The air filter you have on this car is drawing hot air it instead of fresh air .
Not for Honda users specifically
What should I ( will it) work for a 1.4 liter Fiat 500 c time will tell. [ I always post my speech-to-text fails]
Youre a blessing brother. I was panicking, all my prestone leaked and I dint know. Took the highway and sensor/temperature light went to the roof and had white smoke.
2 days of craziness. Look out on youtube. Find the leak, replace the hose, and refill it with your instruction.
🙏🏽Many blessing to you🙏🏽
Liked your video and subscribed. Thank you again 🙏🏽 from Montreal Canada
Happy to help 👊
This is an excellent video. Detailed and straightforward, with no unnecessary small talk.
Always my goal. Appreciate the feedback
In my humble opinion your video has Definitely the best explained details from the rest I have viewed previously thanks for the awesome video.
Appreciate you. I try. I know what a headache this can be . 👊
Great explanation. When I have the time, I typically leave the funnel in place (loosely covered to avoid debris entry) at the end of the burping process. I remove it after the system cools. This avoids handling of the hot coolant and allows some additional coolant to be drawn into the system as it contracts. After removing the funnel with remaining cooled liquid, I then just draw some coolant out of the reservoir until it's at the proper level.
Nice 👊👍
Hello all! FYI The kit he uses is worth every penny and work great! Amazon has good ones pretty cheap, around $20 with all kinds of radiator cap adapters.
I don't often comment on the videos, but thank you very much. that one explained it perfectly to me
glad to help. thanks
Thank you for the beautiful service that you are providing your customers
Welcome 🤗👍
Great video man . The reason they have a have a max level is so there is a volume of air to act as a " shock absorber" in the hydraulics of the coolant system.
Thanks 👊👍
Perfect video for everything I needed, straight to the point with all the info needed ❤💕
Happy to help 👊
Thank you, Lech! One of the best videos for this procedure. You hit every important point!
I tried. Thank you 👍👊
The best explanation I've ever seen. Thank you
Thanks 👊👍
Thanks for the vid - I had trouble finding videos that demonstrated this for cars without a radiator cap. So much appreciated!
Glad to help 👊
This is actually my Black Saturday project. Time to drain and fill the wife's 300. But don't tell her I am doing this, so that I can put off putting up Christmas decor, until December hahaha! Thanks for the link to the funnel, definitely going to get one of those!
Ha. Nice. Have fun
Oh yeah. If you open the radiator cap.. with any old rubber coated cotton glove, you can bleed the overflow hoses by forcing air and coolant into the passage meant for over pressure by moving the cap until it gurgles lol 😂 then it’s relatively safe once the temp drops. Even hot. I’d recommend like.. getting to thermostat temp then waiting 5-10min.
Thanks for sharing
Yes this is helpful advice. Especially if your car has overheating issues. They happen at operating temp. Not cold. But still, be careful!!!
Excellent, man! Your a good teacher. I especially like the tip on getting the specialty funnel system.
Thanks 👊
Thanks for the confidence to do this! It went exactly how you showed us.
Nice 👊
First off, excellent video well thought out and explained, really has helped me. I appreciate you didn't try to do all this while holding you camera, it makes for a much better video.
Haha. Yeah. I’m learning. Thanks and happy to help
Lech, you are absolutely awesome, thank you so much for doing the whole cooling system series of videos.This one, like the last two I watched are greatly informative and very helpful.
Glad to help 👊👍
This video was really helpful thanks a lot man great work keep it up dude yeah. If you happen to see this message I was just wondering if I wanted to go to Pick-N-Pull and get a housing outlet coolant system would it work as long as it's the same year as mine and will it work okay? And for how long you think until I will need to get a brand new one or should I just get a brand new one?
@@macaugustine2298 if you need to replace i would suggest getting new. you can pickup new radiator for like $60-$70 online. (you dont need the all aluminum one) thermostat should be under $20 if you dont need housing with it. unless youre picking something in great condition and cheap. otherwise might not be worth it as who knows how long that one will last.
Best video on bleeding the cooking system on TH-cam
Thank you so much, Lech! This video helped save my F-150 after my heater core inlet hose broke due to age. I didn’t realize air was introduced at that time & didn’t think anything of it until my radiator fans started behaving like helicopters. This is the clearest & most accurate presentation on how to do this, thank you again so much! Do you have a Venmo i can donate to for your time & effort please?
Amazing. Happy to help out. And appreciate the feedback. Yeah, added my Venmo in description. Thanks 👊
Good to know to have better direct explanation without waste of time, Yes I will do to bleed little Mini Cooper s R53 with this this method soon because I’m going to replace the radiator tmrw !
thanks in advance, great help
Glad to help 👊
EXCELLENT Video Sir. This is a comprehensive and wonderful tutorial on coolant system air removal. I love it! I even went to my local autozone and got the kit since the funnel and screw driver was giving me issues. but it did work just fine, little messy though.
Nice. Thanks for sharing
the best explanation ever, clear and to the point.
Thank you very much.
Appreciate it
Best video for this process that I have seen. Very complete. Thanks!!
Thanks 😉👍
Legend and a half, thanks heaps mate.. from Australia
Happy to help 👊
I hope you still answer questions on this video, i was just in a accident in my other vehicle and my family is down to one car and Im needing to use this tool to get the air out the coolant system.
This is where Im confused. Was your coolant system totally empty? I was doing mine after a flush, so it was bone dry.
One confusion is I thought the temperature gauge in the car dont suppose to move at all. Ive heard that if your temperature gauge moves its still air in the system OR are you saying only through this process the temperature needle in tbe car should drop down when the thermostat opens?
After doing this the temperature needle in the car shouldn't move right?
Respectfully, you said you want to wait till you see the bubbles stop in the funnel.. as you notice the bubbles stopped once you started closing the bleeder. So do you keep letting it come out the bleeder till you stop seeing bubbles in the funnel or wait till you have a steady stream coming out the bleeder?
Did it stop showing bubbles because your reservoir was full or the best thing to do is let some more out the bleeder close it and wait till no bubbles in funnel before the reservoir gets full?
Last question, its 2 or 3 adapters I could use. The red one fits into the smaller hole in the reservoir and the metal cap fits on but the gasket falls off the red one when pulling it out.. the black adapter fits more to the top main entry of the reservoir and pushes down snug when i put the metal cap on. The yellow one i have fits like yours but I cant get the metal cap to twist on. Did you have a little struggle getting your metal cap on to make sure its air tight?
Sorry for so many questions, this is the best video explaining how to use this tool. There youtube channel instructions are horrible.
hi. I had to change hose and thermoastat so most of coolant was gone yes. once all replaced, I filled with coolant etc, and started to the burping the air out process. its not end of the world if you don't do it. but do the bleeder valve at least if have one. but its good to do it, to get rid of the air pockets in the hoses etc. as to the kit, as long as you can mount it, so coolant don't leak out when you have it filled you are fine. little drip you should be fine. they say adapters are for all makes but who knows. if bubbles mostly gone you should have most air gone. maybe 10 min or so for the process . or whatever I mentioned in the video. I hope this help. best of luck.
@@HowToWithLech appreciate it, thanks for the response
Thank you very much, I had so much air in my system and now it runs perfectly for the moment no issues.
Nice 👊
@@HowToWithLech I have a car that’s known for bad head gaskets is the only way to know if my hg is bad is if I do the chemical test? I have no frothy oil or coolant on my caps
Car hasn’t run hot since I burped it
Great video, the actual way it should be done
One day later. used the no spill and it worked great. used the rev technique and the hose squeeze too and bubbles just kept coming til ...the did not. took maybe 45 mins . Still keeping and eye on the gauge. Got a little hot yesterday at 80mph but cooled as i slowed to city driving. Burped it again this morning and will do the 80 test again. I don't like seeing it get that hot since that is a new high for it. Net... Great short effective video
all the best neal sw fla
Awesome. thanks for sharing. best of luck.
Fan motor does not need to be on high. Temperature select does need to be maxxed so max fluid flow can pass through. Having fan speed on high makes heater core act as a miniature radiator, cooling fluid and lengthening warm up time.
thanks
awesome video bro! thank you
Excellent video man helped me out ! Have a blessed day
👊👍
I fully understood and enjoyed this video. Thank you

So, does it matter at what time you start the car and turn heat up? I've seen other people have the car on and the heat up the whole entire time. So we can turn car on after coolant is added? I'm learning. Thanks so much for this informative video. Have a prosperous new 2024 ❤
Yes start after all is reassembled and coolant in. And can add more as needed
@@HowToWithLech ok. thanks for the info. I ordered the funnel kit but have been hearing about how it doesn't fit securely. I will work with it anyway. ❤
it should. and for some cars it might be special adapters. but I think you'll be good@@jaywholoveseveryone1721

AWW! You've got me picturing a tiny baby car bent over your shoulder while you pat it's roof till it burps.
Very nice vid.
But why did the coolant change color? I don't know but I suppose it is a sign of something.
There is few reasons. One could even be a leaky gasket, but don’t think was that. So far car been good so hoping no other issue comes up
Thank you 😊 this was a great video much appreciated 👍
Thanks 👊
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I ENJOYED THE VIDEO VERY HELPFUL
Thanks 👊
Good video, yeah you could leave the heater fans off the get the engine up to temp quicker. Some cars have a valve for coolant flow to the heater core energized by turning on the heat but if it were my car I would remove that valve so coolant flows 100% of the time keeping the lines and the core clean. Just some thoughts.
Thanks for sharing 👊
Good job your video help me a lot thanks I was Abel to fix my overheating
👍👊
Great video straight to the point
Thanks 👊
Awesome Video, Thank you but I paid for the same Funnel Kit $44.00 at O’Reilly’s, well I just bought today, 2024.
oh yeah. automotive stores will be pricier. i think same with autozone next to me. amazon its in the 20's
What if a car doesnt have a bleeder? My vehicle also does not run up to temp for fans/thermostat opening without the coolant res cap on. Will using this funnel method allow my car to get up to temp for thermostat open? I noticed you said your thermostat was opening but it wasnt even at 20c. Mine opens at 97c.
excellent video
very well presented.
👊👍
Awesome. Will watch again when motor cool down 😅

Very nice video! A quick question, my cars AC gas leaked out. How do I bleed the system without any hot air?
Ac should not affect it. As you’re turning the heat up only.
Brilliant Mate! Thank you.
👍👊
Super helpful! Thanks
You're welcome!
Hey thanks for the tip I just replace the thermostat on my 2014 caravan and after it was running hot when I was getting on the gas but cooling back down eventually I think I have air in it I'm going to try this
Do it. 👍👊

@@HowToWithLech I bought that kit from your Amazon link. The instructions you provided worked on my 3.5L Ecoboost. No bleeder valve, however worked like a charm after replacing my thermostat. Highly recommend watching by anyone working on late model car.
@@kryptto69 Nice. Thanks for sharing
So, some one just told me to do this because I put coolant in the reservoir but when I crank the car it drains but there isn't any leaks. The radiator is not full. So does doing this help with my issue?
Make sure radiator is filled up and what’s needed I reservoir tank. This process is just to clear the lines from any air pockets. Once u have the coolant in
Great video 😃👍🏼

Genius thanks man.

Good information. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks 👊
Please help me understand. I don’t understand the necessity of having that much coolant in the reservoir or using this system. It seems to me that as long as you had enough coolant in the reservoir where it didn’t go low enough to suck in air that would be the same thing. I just don’t understand. Please help me I’m really trying to understand.
Everything else In the video was very helpful.
Thanks 🙏
Best explanation on TH-cam. Thanks.
Appreciate you 👊
Good stuff
awesome... how do u know it wouldnt boil, its not under pressure?
Yes, you are right
It seems like i cant get all the bubbles out at all. Even after the cars been running for over 20-25 minutes. Should i just keep letting it run until its all gone? I stepped on the gas pedal and squeezed the hoses. When gassing there r no bubbles but when i squeeze the hoses there r still bubbles coming out. Please help
Did you do the valve too. Then hoses after
@@HowToWithLech what do you mean valve? The thermostat?
@@andyl9920 sorry. i meant the bleeder valve. at the 2:14 mark

Thank you so much dude

Great vid! I only have one question, you didn't remove the excess liquid as it will "overflow and drain out". How does that work? Does it go back into the overflow reservoir? I've been told to not add coolant above the max line for my 78 TA. What should I do?
Correct. Remove it. Or overflow drain should do it. But better to remove
Thank you thank you ❤
👍👊
thanks for the vid 🤘
👊👍
lol it won’t explode.. check the pressure in hoses. I just.. ie now… ran a v8 Holden to 92c and the hoses had little pressure. Since it has a massive reservoir, I just burp it using its own system lolz. If a vacuum is pulled it sucks it in. If more than 140kpa, blow off. Bleed the blow off hose. Imagine sucking in air lol you’re supposed to go through a full cycle of cooldown so when vacuum is pulled it gets fluid. Anyway I opened the radiator periodically even at full 92c running temp. Thermostat runs from 86-92. I definitely agree you shouldn’t touch it unless you know wtf you’re doing. I also didn’t need to put heater on since I have no valve. The car constantly blends hot and cold to create air currents in car
So if I changed my Radiator and It needs to be filled up with no Radiator cap, I would just fill it up like u did through the reservoir and it wil travel to the radiator and fill it up?
I have a 2003 Honda Civic LX with no bleeder valve and did everything this man did and it still didn't work. What I found out later is that you leave that funnel with coolant attached after shutting off the engine. Do not plug it. Let the coolant and engine cool overnight. As the coolant in the radiator and engine gets cold it contracts creating a vacuum sucking more coolant from the funnel. If you remove the fumnel too early, you risk sucking in air instead.
👍👊
I like your "T" shirt!!!
Thanks. Might list them on my Etsy shop 👊
Was it bubbling before you did the bleeding ?
Best explained burp I've watched so far....i did all this except for the waiting for the temperature to reach half way already. If i do these steps now will it correct the temp?
Should. Good to let heat up. So thermostat opens up etc.
I did this to my 98 ranger and still cant get the dam air out of the lines. Put a New thermostat in too and seems like its not opening . I've been getting no heat in the cab too.
yeah. you need that thermostat to open up. wonder if they gave you a faulty one.
@@HowToWithLech it looked good and brand new but ya never know. Im going to get the other the coolant sending unit. Next time i get paid. Yesterday in Michigan it was about 55° so i took advantage to work on the truck. Today now is 31° and its was raining all day but now its almost 4:00 pm and its raining hail. We supposed to get a lot of snow tomorrow friday. Between the cold weather, crapy weather and having the funds has been a pain in the rear to get things done outside. Unfortunately i have no garage . any how my truck is not over heating . I know the activator to go from cold to hot is not working on the heater. So i tried to cut a whole to move the door on it to put it so i can get heat but the door seems spring loaded and just goes back. Seems the top radiator hose has air in it at least it feels like it. I put a new thermostat on too. The heater hoses barely feel warm going into the heater core. I even manually moved the heater activator if that's what its called and checked vacuum . I tried burping the coolant system and still got air in the lines. The only thing i seen to do is to loosen the heater core hose to see if i can get the extra air pockets out the top hose ? Its been a pain in the rear trying to fig this out. Like i said its not over heating . so i bought a car heater offline its coming saturday . Hopefully it'll de-ice the windows and get truck warm enough. You got any ideas ? Mine is a 98 ford ranger 3.0 .
@@jeffreypetree7163 i think you're doing it all right. not familiar with the truck so dont want to give you the wrong advice either. good luck. i hope it works out
