I did this on my 03 earlier today but when filling up the radiator with new coolant i noticed after half an hour my car temperature was still pretty high and wasnt cooling down. Is it because i didnt bleed the system out?
No, the engine simply takes a few hours to cool down. That’s normal. Putting coolant in just the radiator won’t help the engine cool either because the coolant isn’t in the engine yet, nor is it circulating which only occurs when the car is on. Not to mention, you can get inaccurate temperature readings if there’s air in the system. You get the air out by simply filling the radiator and reservoir, starting the car, and repeating that process a few times.
I don’t have a dedicated video for that, but I have another video that shows all the same steps. Check out my hood release cable video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C2D0wLOIVGI.htmlsi=LmDwIhJcPFamA4-i
This does not pertain to this video, however I would like to know if your Garmin GPS is a newer model, or if it's the same one that came with this car? If it's the original, how do you still update it with modern maps?
No that GPS is actually pretty old and definitely needs to be replaced. It’s a Garmin Nuvi 2455lmt. You would simply download the garmin app onto your computer, plug in the gps with the provided usb cable, and simply click the update button. There’s also a micro SD card slot encase you need more maps and features on your device
@@CarRepairsMadeSimple Thank you for the help! I bought a used 2003 Acura TL base model a few days ago and noticed that they had almost everything original in the car. The only thing missing is that USB cable, unfortunately.
