I’ve never known of a single mechanic who used this funnel! I didn’t even know it existed! It certainly made it easier and cleaner to burp! Thank you.

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment, glad it helped👍

@StilettoSniper 3 года назад

That's because most pros use a cooling system evacuation tool (such as the AirLift) that creates a vacuum inside the radiator and removes the air quickly. It also does not require starting the vehicle or waiting for the thermostat to open. I have and use both systems, they both work very well. I've had the spill free funnel for years, it is a favorite of DIYers since it does not require a source of shop compressed air and works on a full radiator. Tools like the AirLift require an air compressor to work, and the radiator should be empty of any fluid for best results.

To the guy with the system that's erupting when filling - The funnel-fill system works best when the radiator fill neck is the highest point in the cooling system. That puking can be a symptom of exhaust gas in the cooling passages, or a huge air blockage in the heater core or up high where it can't migrate to the rad cap for venting.. First, do you have a bleed nipple somewhere along the top of the engine??? If not, try jacking the front end up (ramps, curb, etc) as high as possible and cold fill to the top of the rad cap neck before installing the funnel. If it still blows over, do a system pressure test to verify head gasket is intact. If system is intact, loosen clamps on both ends of the upper radiator hose, remove hose from the radiator, and rotate it straight up above the engine making it the high point of the system) then tighten the engine-side clamp that you just loosened to rotate the hose. Block the open rad port with a piece of rubber or a nitrile glove, and a hose clamp. Won't be any pressure on it. I use a self-tightening boat plug. Place the funnel on top of the upper hose, and cold fill the engine till there is coolant near the top of the upper hose. Start the engine with heater on, and continue slowly filling as the engine heats up, until the upper hose is full. Shut the car off, and let it cool with plastic lid covering the hose. . Loosen the engine-side clamp, close off the open end of the rad hose with your hand to minimize coolant loss, and rotate the upper rad hose back down and onto the radiator hose barb. Tighten clamps and you should be good to go . I developed the "hose-up" method for 77-80 MGBs 40+ years ago. They were notorious for puking coolant thru the top of the thermostat filler cap (no rad cap) By raising the front end as high as possible, air bubbles were more prone to migrate up and out of the coolant.

Thanks for the video sir My question how does one know when there is air in the cooling system? I think that might be the case with mine because when starting up I can feel And hear The fluid running through cooling System Thumping and gurgerling And the temperature gauge stays in the halfway point. Sometime I can actually smell some antifreeze after a long drive.

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

An easy indication is a gurgling sound when you shut the vehicle off after running it at operating temperature. Also, overheating or running hotter than the vehicle spec.

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

DeadlyColt45 if you didn’t get the air out, you may have had a lot of trapped air that caused it to overheat which could cause it to burst. I had a radiator explode due to overheating at idle. Need to get the air out 👍

@mikewertz7559 4 месяца назад

Everything went well until you took off the funnel and put on the cap with the engine off. U spill a. Bit more but put the cap on while running to ensure no air gets sucked back in.

@weliftnation2418 Год назад

So question about the process. You filled the radiator first with the recommended specs then you used the funnel and the video begins right? Alot of people leave this out in all the videos of this prosses and not everyone has common sense and would probably start off where the videos begin.

@PhillipsVision Год назад

Yes, fill to capacity then attach the funnel with coolant in it. This will allow any air to escape through the funnel and coolant in funnel to replace the air that escaped

TOO MANY GREAT BLEEDING VIDEOS HOWEVER THE DODGE DURANGO ENGINE 4.7 OVERHEATING REDIATOR AND STILL HOSES FULL OF AIR AND CAN'T RELEASE THE AIR BLEEDING JOB AFTER BLEEDING JOB AND STILL OVERHEATING ISSUES AND AIR NEVER COMES OUT

@senatedocument2646 2 месяца назад

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.

@jonathansanchez5434 4 года назад

Great video. Q: Are any of the fans suppose to turn on?

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

Jonathan Sanchez thanks. Yes, some vehicles have two fans, one will come on with the a/c, the other will come on when the temp reaches a certain point, I believe it is around 230 degrees. Some vehicles have one large fan which runs all the time.

@tonsssedell4318 4 года назад

A mechanical belt driven fan is typical on older, bigger and/or longitudinally mounted engines and that often runs all the time on idle. Electric motor driven fans may be there for the cooling system and or a/c. If one is for engine cooling system, it is indeed supposed to turn on under such circumstances. Unless it's cold and windy enough that when you reach the thermostat opening temperature, there is enough cooling capacity to keep temperature under fan relay turn on treshold.

@hugh3rdof5 4 года назад

Andy, Nicely done, for the most part, yet I was dismayed to see you filling up those notoriously tipsy "spill free funnels" -- even before you turned on your engine, a recipe for a mess, in my decade of experience with these things. (since first seeing Eric the Car Guy promoted them)..... Anything but "spill free." Great idea of course, but I'd rather suggest to new viewers that they try it first without "filling up the funnel about a third." If you're starting with a full radiator, chances are in any older system, you're going to get serious "back-up" ..... into the funnel itself, from fluid already into the system, at least until the thermostat opens up. I get that the selling point of these things (esp. with GM designed disasters like the Montana & Venture) is to get gravity working for you, to have fluid above the highest levels in the cooling system.... But putting that much fluid into the funnel on one's first try is a recipe for disaster.... (unless you have a second person standing close to the funnel to steady it, to keep it from spilling.... sic)

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

hugh3rdof5 if you do not fill them up properly you run the risk of taking in air at low points, adding to your problem. If these are used correctly you won’t have problems.

@eveighan Год назад

@armstrongcedeno1062 3 года назад

Thanks Andy for the inspiring DIY demonstration. This is a risky procedure when one's safety can't be taken for granted. One question I have ,though. At 5:40 when you remove the funnel; did you do it with your engine cold or did you do it immediately after the bubbles were expelled from the cooling system?

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

Right after. If you use the funnel properly (sealing it with the plunger) it will not spill.

Im assuming this burping procedure was done after the system had been filled with fresh coolant? I’d like to see how the coolant replacement procedure is done since I just saw how to burp the system.

@Erowens98 2 года назад

Would be cool if cars had a coolant replacement mode. Just keep the thermostat open and the coolant circulating regardless of engine temp

@jseyfert3577 2 года назад

Thermostats are not controlled by the computer. They are simple mechanical devices that open with heat. That’s why you need to get the engine hot to bleed air. Coolant is always circulating if the engine is running. But it’s just circulating around the engine and through the cabin heater core. Once the thermostat gets to the opening temp then it opens and part of the coolant flow is diverted from around the engine and the heater core to the radiator. In most (but not all) cars the coolant is always flowing through the heater core. Temp of the cabin air vents is controlled by a mixing valve that pulls varying amounts of air through the heater core. So for these vehicles, turning the heat on as indicated in this video is not needed.

People. I've been wondering about an issue here... The thermostat got replaced.. And when the engine cranks, fluid flows out of the radiator like a gazer and I hear liquid smash around in the dash. I think I've got air but I can't burp the thing if its spitting the fluid out. So what's causing g the spitting.

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

The heater core runs behind the dash. When you burp the system it releases air from the heater core as well. Air can get into the system when you change a thermostat. Have you tried using a spill free funnel to burp the system? This is designed to allow the coolant to overflow out while air is bubbling out without spilling everywhere

@PhillipsVision Год назад

If you have access to connect directly into your cooling system through a radiator cap, the funnel is best. This will allow the air to escape directly from the system and you can replace the air with coolant. If you use the reservoir you are hoping all the makes it to the tank and bubble out. Air will make it to the reservoir but I would be concerned that all the air doesn’t work it’s way out.

Great Video Quick Question. My car is a 50 year old Camaro, it doesn't have an overflow tank or an expansion tank (I'm thinking I will eventually get an overflow tank). But I bought the funnel you used and I was wondering before I start... at the very end it shows your radiator as full to the cap. I think if I left mine that full it might pump fluid out the overflow hose. Would it? This is a muscle car so I'll probably get a tubular billet tank that has two (2) tubes, one to connect to the radiator neck, the other to a drain hose. How does that sound?

@PhillipsVision 3 года назад

You want the radiator full otherwise you have air in it which will cause overheating

Ok great vid . I have a problem 2017 vw Jetta Tsi , why’ll driving around the pothole monster caught me outthere while driving to my granddaughters birthday party. So my radiator started leaking took to mechanic replaced main radiator then brought car home auxiliary radiator was leaking and the replacement radiator popped due to pressure in system ok bring car home after mechanic tops off and work is done . Get home radiator hose popped off while on the DQ drive through . Get up clean everything get hose put back burp the system now my fans don’t turn off and my engine light turns on code says knock sensor please help before I take a cup of gasoline and match and solve the problem quick and painless cause I am tired of fixing these foreign cars

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

cisco1369able the knock sensor reports engine block vibration. High temp from overheating can sometimes damage it. That sensor is located on the outside of the engine block and may have been damaged by your vehicle overheating. It’s about $40 - $80 to replace on your vehicle. Your fans staying on may be due to a bad relay. Both of these are not major repairs if you can do them yourself. It may be coincidental that they both failed at the same time. Hope this helps👍

@PhillipsVision they say to acceerlerate but before to let sit at idle so did the same with heater on without ac on for like 25 minutes using burp system on coolant and felt regular heat but nt too hot when driven. When I drove the heater gt real hot. I did the same almost 3 years ago never had issues. I just don't why the hea doesn't get real hot after 15 20 minutes at idle but feels warm from the heater

Should work on any vehicle, as long as you can connect to a radiator cap. Vehicles without a radiator cap cannot use this technique

@TheCreidhne 4 года назад

how long did the whole process take?

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

TheCreidhne approximately 10 - 15 mins. You need the coolant system to warm up so the air bubbles rise to escape

My car isn't overheating, it's not reaching operating temp. When I would turn the heat on, the temp arm would drop. I changed the thermostat and it's still the same "issue". I'm going to use this funnel to burp it. Hopefully, it fixes the problem. It was a bit difficult being homeless and having to deal with no heat in freezing temps🤦🏾‍♀️

@P.G._FPV 3 года назад

What is the reason for the setting to be on vent instead of defrost? Reason I ask is when I did this I had it on defrost not vent. Do I need to do it again? Not a big deal if I do it's easy enough. Thanks for the video good job. 👍

@@PhillipsVision Not so simple.... Something similar happened to me a few days -- something the "innocent" should be warned about. And yes, I've used these funnel tools for over a decade, dealing with a notoriously awful Pontiac Montana (Venture/Silhouette). Problem arises when you think you can draw down the (seriously unbalancing volumes in the funnel) by accelerating the engine.... I stupidly did that for about five minutes, so proud of myself for having drawn most of the fluid back into the radiator, engine, etc.... until it started to build up again.... rapidly. Thinking to shut it off before the miserable funnel contraption spilled over again (as has happened so often before), this time I simply shut off the engine...... and then ..... kapow..... about a gallon of hot fluid shot out all over the place.....

@druku8812 4 года назад

How long did you wait after shutting off the car before removing the funnel. I did it after a few minutes and when I removed it (was under pressure still) and water sprayed up and I burnt my hands. I take it you need to put in the plug, squeeze hose, turn off car, wait 30-60mins then remove funnel?

@PhillipsVision 4 года назад

druku88 I removed it immediately, but used the plunger to seal the funnel hole (and prevent air from re-entering). Once I sealed the hole, I lifted it out and installed the radiator cap.

@druku8812 4 года назад

Phillips Vision I tried that. I squeezed hose, inserted plunger, turned off car. Then when I went to remove the funnel there was pressure underneath and it spewed our coolant. I quickly put back funnel (with plunger still in) and left to cool.

I have a question. When I'm going to bleed the radiator, do I keep the car running while I add coolant to the radiator and burp it or do I have it off and once I fill everything up do I turn it on.

Must be running so the air will burp out, but you must keep the funnel filled about a quarter so coolant can replace the air that bleeds out.

chris paz if not, you’ll need to make something similar. Some people use a water/soda container. You need something that you can pour coolant into. The main thing is that coolant takes the place of the air bubbles.
