Thanks what is the part # for the connector and where can i get it

@Th3fac31 2 года назад

here's what I need to know. it is a plastic connector by default or plastic bleeder that was in there (originally before mods ect) I was trying to get a place to do it since I don't have the time to atm but they just didn't want to put the part on and wanted to get hoses ect and were fishing me but said it was a bleeder. but there's a bleeder/air relief on the other side. that's what I'm trying to understand because I'm wanting to put a metal connector in there for now since I'm about to go on a trip to vegas 243 miles away from my current location for my 21st in a few days, really appreciate any good responses, thank you!

@DTUFINOPhotography Год назад

you should make a bleeding and burping video because i def have air in my system and its driving me nuts, i tried taking it to a mechanic and they said i have a blown head gasket, but i have ZERO symptoms and my car is not overheating... but the coolant is getting stuck in the expansion tank.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE Год назад

The overflow tank is for coolant that gets pushed out of the radiator when the car starts to overheat. Most of the time the system doesn't work well to suck the coolant back in so I don't go based on that. You should be filling the radiator through the fill neck in front of the radiator. Use a coolant bleeding funnel and slowly add coolant to the funnel when its full turn on the car and let it idle for about 30 minutes. Once in a while hold the rpms at 2k for like 1 minute but be careful to not overheat. After 30 minutes let it set and cool back down once its cool check the level of coolant by opening the radiator fill neck cap and top it off if needed once its filled close the system and let it idle again and wait for the car to complete a cycle of the fans turning on and off.

@DTUFINOPhotography Год назад

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Yeah my issue is thought that once the engine cools down the coolant does not get sucked back into the rad. I'm going to pour some tye and use a UV light to see if i have a tiny leak in the system that i cant see with my eye.

@rozay318 2 года назад

This just happened to me. My car has 29,000 miles and it looks like I’m going to have to replace it. So do I have to breathe the whole system or empty out the whole coolant? Or can I just disconnect the holes and lose a little bit of coolant and refill it?

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 2 года назад

If it broke, you probably leaked coolant so you won't need to drain anymore. Disconnect the hose and install the new metal port and add coolant and bleed the air out of the system

@rozay318 2 года назад

@@ERICSDIYGARAGE Not sure if it broke but I definitely leaked coolant. I’ve been driving the car like that since until I noticed temperature has stayed the same no smoke I’m thinking that the leak is minor I have the pictures. But I wanna get this done as soon as possible already ordered the new hoses from Z 1 and also the bleeder Port. Just need to figure out how to bleed the system.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 2 года назад

Once you install the bleeder, fill the car with coolant and unscrew the bleeder port that you just installed, once coolant comes out of the port that will remove the air. close it up and complete the repair

If you’re not going to take the whole hose off you’d better be careful removing that broken pieces of plastic. If one of those goes down the hose into the heater core you’re in for a very expensive fix if it gets lodged and can’t be back flushed out.

@ERICSDIYGARAGE 10 месяцев назад
