PLEASE NOTE: Heater should be in the on/open position for bleeding. Temp lever to the right on the dash. Forgot to mention this in the vid.
If are draining the system, watch my engine replacement video here, there is a better hose to remove. • VW Vangon T25 2.0 CU A... 😊👍
This is how I drain the cooling system on my VW Volkswagen T25 T3 Vanagon and then bleed the system to remove all air from the radiator. This method works well for me and may help if your having trouble bleeding the air from your cooling system.

Really excellent video on coolant change. Bleeding, well done. Thank you. More?!

@PeoplesCar Год назад

Thankyou 😊👍 You can find more T25 vids here: ru-vid.com/group/PLas-bMbyRsgB5ZYru8CfJMUaPeTvXzmDo and have a couple more for release in a few weeks. 👍

Great video. I’m going to do mine shortly. Thank you

Thanks for the kind feedback. Since making this vid a few have come up in my feed using a pressurised setup which should push coolant to & air out the Rad (tho id still get that nose right up) and look interesting, but not tried them. I just know this works so sticking with it. Had to do it twice last week in the services after losing a coolant pipe on the motorway, not the most of fun and got some funny looks from people thinking I'd crashed trying to exit the carpark over the high kerb, but got us home after found a hose clip that would fit. From now on will carry a spare! 😅 Best of luck 👍

I didn't mention in the video I forgot, but need heater open (to the right) on the dash to avoid an air lock there 😊👍

@stephenrogers9664 Месяц назад

I like the simple method, & if it works then I’m happy. Thank you

@PeoplesCar Месяц назад

@@stephenrogers9664 Always worked for me. And avoided annoying air locks in the radiator. Need to have you heater in hot/open position too so no air get locked there. Best of luck 👍

Bleed screw like a Nissens rad. Can be replaced with a metal bolt. I've gravity filled it through the bleed with a bottle on a stepladder. After running it to operating temp park it nose down on a good slope and let it cool. Any air will collect in the expansion tank. Top up and fill overflow to max. You can check for air at the bleed screw but likely will be none.

@PeoplesCar 10 месяцев назад

I haven't tried that method but thanks for the info. Going to try pressurising the system next time and see how that works 😊👍

@stephenhornigold3993 Год назад

Hey I can’t wait, you may cover the issue I have with my T25…..

@PeoplesCar Год назад

Cool. I've recommended this to a few peeps over the years and while it's a pain in the butt does seem to do the job so fingers xd for you. Got an even better Vid for setting up the gear shifter waiting for release. Was soooo impressed when it 'just worked', that rarely happens with shifter probs 😅👍

@SailingMokara 3 месяца назад

Hi, Thanks for the video. Did you mix the coolant with water?

@PeoplesCar 3 месяца назад

Yes I mix is with deionised or de mineralised water, called different things in different places. I personally lean heavy on the mix because of cold winters here about 50/50 but you will find a mixing guide on the bottle depending on manufacturer and concentration. Some are are mixed but I tend to avoid these. Deffo go for the pink glycol rather than cheaper blue, had a linger life so less hassle in the future. Best of luck 😊👍

@barnacleburrito3728 8 месяцев назад

thank for posting this. you don’t have to get the RPMs up to get the coolant to come out of the top of the radiator when the van is nose-up on ramps? 🤔 also what about the T-stat bleeder valve? thx bro

@PeoplesCar 8 месяцев назад

My pleasure. I've never left it running at idle long enough to find out so not 100% sure, I usually just up the revs a bit to speed up the process. I've never used the thermostat bleed tbh as with the nose up never needed to, wouldn't hurt to check there is no air left in there tho and only take a minute. Thanks for watching 😊👍

@barnacleburrito3728 8 месяцев назад

this would seem to suggest that the coolant pump impeller itself at idling RPMs suffices to get the water to effectively flow uphill. unless I’m missing something else!

@barnacleburrito3728 8 месяцев назад

thanks for replying!

@PeoplesCar 8 месяцев назад

@@barnacleburrito3728 maybe, it might well work given time I j.have just never waited. The pump on this van is actually a new replacement and it's no different to any of my other previous vans so pretty sure not a fault. 😊👍

@danjamesking 10 месяцев назад

Might be a silly question. Where do you dispose of the liquid?

@PeoplesCar 10 месяцев назад

I have a couple of big containers and save old oil and fluids seperate. I take it to the guys who do my MOT so they can use use the oil in the garage heater over winter. I dunno what they do with the coolant I leave but tbh there isn't usually much if any. I think you can take to the Local Tip here in the UK and dispose as hazardous liquids if you want to be conscientious. 😊👍
