Thx for the vid, still amazing how good it worked, sadly not enough, but thx for honest commentary (didnt follow the instructions). Hope it works at my car.
Hope the family and yourself have a great Christmas and happy new year. (how is the nissan leaf going )? All stay safe and well in the New year, richie
How is it supposed to seal without pressure? How is it supposed to clog and seal the leaking spot if nothing is pushing it in there? You don't understand how it works. It does most of it's sealing when the engine is off because then there's no pressure from cylinder, only pressure in cooling system. When it's so bad like in your case you must remove the plug of the most leaking cylinder and warm it up like that.
@@jamesthomas4693 Many ways. Look at the spark plugs, look at the pistons. Could force air into cylinder with air compressor, and see if it makes the coolant level rise in the expansion tank. Could run the engine with one spark plug out at a time holding paper over open spark plug hole, this might make the paper wet. Also could fill the cooling system to the brim with cap off, put one spark plug in at a time and turn the engine over, see how badly it bubbles or even shoots liquids out the coolant fill hole. Or remove one spark plug at a time and run the engine looking for bubbling/splashing out of the fill hole.
I have similar engine like urs. Its a 2014 Chevy Cruze Lt with 1.4 liter turbo engine. My question is can I pour this in radiator as a preventative maintenance even if head gasket is working fine? Heads or head gasket is common failure on type of car i drive. Thanks for video any appreciated
Must have done something wrong, was the cooling system pressurized before the procedure? Was the leak severe, if so did you remove the plug from the worst cylinder to eliminate cylinder pressure? Thermostat removed? Heater core valve fully opened? Cooling system flushed several times before the procedure? Added correct amount of sealer taking cooling system capacity into account? Mixed the sealer with water before pouring it into the cooling system? Procedure done in several cycles raising the temperature some more every time or did you do it in one go?
@@Roverturbo When you shut off the engine then the coolant has more pressure than the cylinder. There are also some comments saying that you are supposed to take out the spark plug and unplug the injector and run the car and then shut it off.
