How to Check and Add Coolant. Coolant doesn't get used up during a car's normal operation. If the coolant level is consistently low, your car has a coolant leak. Your mechanic can pressure-check the cooling system to find any leaks or you can check the situation out yourself--here's how. Read more: www.ehow.com/vi...

You're a life saver! Had to put in a new radiator. Filled just the radiator back up with coolant but not the coolant reservoir. Wondered why my heat still wasn't working and car was not over heating but running warmer than normal. Watched this and filled the reservoir and half way to work I felt the heat kick in and the temp dropped. Thank you for the short, quik video explaining that

@anothergamingchannel2656

Another one I do is if you have an old empty bottle, maybe save one next time you get oil, cut the entire bottom of it off and then turn it upside down and stick the neck of the bottle in the hole you need to fill, leaving the cut side (bottom, now at the top) open end facing up and you have a nice homemade funnel

I saw your video and thought the radiator cap was the same thing as the washer fluid tube, because the cap with my washer fluid tube is gray as well lol. Silly me I put the anti freeze in the washer fluid tube. Since I did that, will every time I use the washer on the windshield, will it not get clean like it was before or will it stay the same?

Came to this video while looking to make sure I wasn't missing an actual radiator cap on my brothers chrysler (Spoiler: there isn't one at the radiator where you would expect it only at the reservoir) Cause he calls me say its overheating after I had changed the water pump...Turns out he forgot to put the radiator cap back on (I told him top add some more in the morning after we test drove it the first time) SMH. Nice video though not super rambling like some videos.

@tolfan4438
@tolfan4438 5 лет назад
I'm by no means an expert but what I think is happening is that your radiator is partly empty so when you add the coolant to that external tank then you run it hot when the engine cools down the radiator sucks all that cool and back into the radiator and that leaves you with an empty tank

BigRedzTv Genuine VW/Audi coolant. If you’re unsure what kind to buy, I would bring your Audi to a VW or Audi dealership and have them fill it for you. Usually they will fill it and give you the remaining coolant.
