The state of HI is so lucky to have you

I love that hill trick. You know the person who came up with that method had a unique way of thinking about cars. Just genius

This is a great video. You forgot to mention that if the car is not overheating and the coolant reservoir fluid is boiling that it could be that one of your radiator motor fans isn’t working. This was the case when I took my Honda in today. It has two radiator fans so you could hear cooling noise but when you looked at the second fans it’s still. My radiator lid was busted to and had to be replaced. I’m just pleased it wasn’t the head gasket 😊

great video lol, most of these videos are just repeating the same thing to refill coolant or get it checked at shop..... thanks for the helpful tip!

Very helpful!thank you!

Good info.

I’m looking at 2019 Toyota Tacoma. It appears to have this same set up. I recently purchased a Block Tester Kit to detect for exhaust in the cooling system. MY QUESTION: CAN I PLACE THE TOOL INTO THE COOLANT RESERVOIR TO CHECK FOR EXHAUST OR DOES IT HAVE TO BE PLACED DIRECTLY INTO THE RADIATOR CAP, after removing about 3 inches of coolant. Please help me with this! @BudgetMechanicHawaii

Very nicely done, smart man

Great video. I have noticed that if the radiator has no cap and just the tank to it's side , if you have to continue to fill it , ya got a bad head gasket . And if ya smell antifreeze coming from ya tail pipe , and the motor is running hot , ya got a bad head gasket.

I have a 99 accord v6 ex during summer time when it’s up in 90s to 100 out side with car ideling in like a parking lot with ac on temp gadget goes to hot a few time always full of coolant would it just be the hot weather outside causing this problem other wise when weathers cooler it’s fine no heating up.

Today i had that bubbling issue for the first time ever. Tried taking my 97 camry to the mountains and we got about halfway up the parkway, when i started hearing a chuggong sound different from normal. Now i get i was going uphill into the mountains but still enough to say ok maybe this is too much lets pull off at the picnic area. Turned off the car in concern of overheating, thats when i heard the bubbles and saw it in the overflow tank. So i was like ok lets let her cool down so my son and I walked around to let it cool off. Checked the fluids beyond the radiator cause of the heat still and decided to head back down the mountain. We took it easy coming back (3hrs) but i think i may have killed the thermostat. Had the fans running the whole time and had the heat on full to displace some of the heat. Hoping there is no bad damage.😅🙏

My skoda makes a water gurgling noise from dashboard for 3/4 seconds on ignition Any remedy for it

Thanks alot for this great video, you R the best 🎉

Love this video Thanks

Hey can you make a video like Chrisfix with the with the bubbling noise on the moc... And how the temperature gauge look when it's overheating so we can actually hear and see how it sound and get some understanding on the noise and how the sound

Your coolant degas bottle has 2 little holes next to each other. Mine has only one but the new one came with 2. One goes to the radiator. Where does your other one go and can I just tee them together since mine has only one

Hey I have a Lincoln LS 2002 V8 3.9 and I have a coolant reservoir tank but like you said you can't determine how full the radiator is with that so how do I check to see how full my car is with radiator coolant right there where the housing is where the thermostat is there's a little thing on top do I unscrew it to check and see how much coolant I have

I appreciate you

Thanks

Good video so it could be coming from a blown head gasket overheating and boil bubbling sound?? I have a dodge Dakota 87 V6

I've got an interesting cooling problem that has me a little stumped, my Honda civic just got a new OEM thermostat and radiator cap as well as a coolant flush and replace and it works perfectly fine 99% of the time. It had a lot of irregularities in the temperature before the work. Now it stays at the same temperature almost always but then will randomly spike in temperature for about 30 seconds to a minute then immediately cool down and go back to normal. Last time it happened coolant reservoir overflowed and spilled out. Fans and fan switch work fine and thermostat opens fine in boiling water. I did a hydrocarbon block test for a head gasket leak 3 times and it detected no combustion gases which made me happy. No white smoke or obvious leaks anywhere and no real coolant loss. No one I've talked to really knows what the problem is and I don't either, do you have any ideas? Thanks

thanks for the video! so coolant should be toped up to a radiator cap?

Hi running the car parked, with radiator cap off on a hill, is this like burping it? And for how long should it be running? THANK YOU

Good man

Hey can I recycle the coolant out of my coolant reservoir for my 2000 honda accord? My coolant reservoir is way pass the full line, and idk why but I don’t think the system is working properly because the pressure isn’t sending the coolant out the reservoir back into the radiator… but then again idk if it’s even supposed to do that…

Hello, thanks for the video. I have a question. Can you use g12+ coolant in Japanese cars (I live in central Europe, and we use g11-g13+ as a standard). The interesting thing is I have a suzuki sx4 and the manual recommends the suzuki coolant (a phosphate HOAT OR similar ethylene glycol-based one), BUT this car was also manufactured as a Fiat Sedici model too. Its manual just refrains from silicated coolant use and recommends Fiat's coolant😂 Some people say filling the wrong coolant is bad for the engine-water pump... but there are two things: in Hungary most coolant bottles state (suitable for every passenger car -alloy friendly-or cooling systems) plus I have filled my previous suzuki with the same G12+ coolant of the same brand. it didn't freeze or lose coolant even in hours of highway driving during really hot summer time 🤷🏻‍♂️ what do you think? thanks for reading :) 👋🏻

My replace my radiator for the old one was leaking, and now my fan works only when I turn my AC On, did double checked all the electrical connections were look good I can’t figure it out what would be my problem

My car is overheating and near the reservoir and radiator I heard like thumping and it was moving.. kinda feel like it’s time to trash the shit box need some guidance on how to fix, was thinking about changing everything

Shops sell anti freeze but coolant has a higher boiling point. Bottles offer little information so many miss it. Honda Type 2 Coolant for example has Boiling point: 131.1C Freezing point: -36.6C according to an importer. Fluids also have a higher boiling point under pressure. So you may run into trouble with just anti-freeze and a leaking cap. I also like to mention that temperature gauges are mounted at a low point in the cooling system and therefore more an indicator for having reached the normal operating temperature. Boiling hot water will stay on top and when the high temperature gets registered the fan switch will activate the fan. Use coolant with metal protectors that are no silicates, Like Honda Type 2. Wearing the seals, waterpump and thermostat, mainly by silicate is, indirectly, a cause of overheating. Always look down into the opening when safely filling, with a small light, to see if the thermostat is closed and in one piece. The metal alloy can dissolve and fall apart. The temperature gauge on the instrument panel can tell if the thermostat opens at operating temperature.

I had an interesting time after replacing my radiator. Even when parked on a hill, it would pump the coolant right out the top of the radiator while the engine was running, and the coolant was boiling when it was running, but the temp gauge stayed where it should be, never overheated. Went through gallons of coolant until I realized I forgot to plug in my radiator fans. Problem solved, but still has me scratching my head

I have a Vauxhall Astra 1.6 2010. Symptoms are a sludgy mixture in the coolant however when I take oil cap off it’s clear and dipstick is clear. I had a warning light saying engine is overheating so A/C is turned off but that only stay for a 2 days while the thermostat dial was not working. It starting to work after and the thermostat has never shown a dial reading of overheating. I have been told it is a blown gasket. However someone else has told me it needs replacing of oil coolant and Flushing out radiator and reservoir tank. Any advice please?

How do you know if your radiator cap is bad?

Do you work on all cars, also how does one set a appointment with you. You seem like a good mechanic .

Hello I have a weird coolant issue in my 09 Audi s5 4.2 b8. Whenever car gets warm and up to temp after driving a bit, my coolant reservoir drips from the bottom of the reservoir. Stops after car cools down it seems but could replacing the reservoir fix this issue? Car doesn’t seem to be overheating to my knowledge either with this issue

Thank you

What if you found a spring in your radiator?

I hear a crackling sound in my 2020 sienna. Immediately after the coolant temperature too high pops up then a minute later goes back to normal. Please help

Did he say tell tell sign?

Hey I have a bmw and I change my water pump new hose for my radiator and new coolant and my car don't overheat the temperature show good but my coolant boil and gets hot but the temperature say it's good I need help

So when your coolant makes bubbles after turning of your car it's never a 'normal' thing? I have my car checked but they couldn't find a thing. No other symptoms related to a blown head gasket either. Don't know if I should be worried or not.

❤❤❤

I have a 2012 cruze that did that...Found a trick that actually worked......After I re-drained my coolant out and kept trying to bleed air out of the radiator and that didnt help........I found out all i had to do was UNHOOK the negative battery cable for a few minutes............Believe me it works...Anytime i had to open the system or a hose blew or something I had the bubbling boiling after shutting it off...Take off the battery cable and bam fixed...........It works on my Cruze..........

I have a Nissan Primera p12, got it back a week ago from a paint job, check light came on , when engine off hearing a humming sound, days ago now it's switching off while I am driving

What happens if you do fill the reservoir? Because i did

Check the tubes cause they tried to say it was my cap and still had issues

My car makes a bubbling sound when I first rev it and when I accelerate when driving but only for the first 2 or 3 times and after that it stops..and my coolent needs to be topped up every few days..anyone got any ideas

I had thermostat replaced on a 2007 Chrysler 300 c and mine is bubbling over heating.can u please suggest anything so I want have to keep spending money on the same thing thanks

When i start my car with cold engine eith radiator cap open air bubbles keep coming out and when i slightly race the cold engine the coolant jumps out of radiator filling hole. Please anyone tells me what wrong with my car. There is no coolant lose and it keeps stable. Also i noticed very thin layer of oil on coolant surface in reservior bottle. No moisture observed in engine oil. Please somebody help me. My car is honda civic 2005 with D15 engine. Thanks

Hello my car overheats only when I’m in a drive thru line then goes back down to normal after driving away. What could be the cause? My engine coolant is all the way full as well

what about a failed water pump not allowing the coolant to circulate so the coolant in the block boils.

Hello i have a 2008 mazda bt 50 disel i had a engine rebuild because it had a bad head gasket and it was overheating i pressure tested the block and head as well as had them decked. They are all good had the radiator cleaned and its all put together now and on inital start i have the rad cap open and it seems no pressure is building or bubbles but after it warms up after it reaches operating temp i open the overflow tank and see little bubbles coming out of the hose in the overflow tank . It does not loose any coolant even after driving for 30 minutes and when i open the cap when its cold it seems to not loose coolant and engine does not run hot. I am runnig without a thermostat can that be the cause? Or what am i missing

I have a interesting problem. 2016 Altima over heats sometimes blows water out the overflow. Overheated on a trip added water drove 200 miles home no problem then over heated in drive thru next day. 2 new thermostats, 3 different pressure radiator cap and new resivour cap still blowing water to point hoses collapse. passed pressure test on system and test for head gasket. Havent caught fans not working. 2 mechanics is confussed by it.

What make the reservoir fill with oil for xc90 volvo

you keep saying coolant, can water be used as a substitute as it is a cooling liquid?

What if coolant is coming out the coolant breather hose?

I replaced the radiator in my 2013 Silverado. Ever since it won’t hit opening temp unless it’s parked. I’ve been driving around for a few days now with the res cap almost off. Hopefully the bubbling sounds go away

The word you're looking for is expansion..

I have a friend's vehicle that was making bubbling sounds after shutting off engine. Check engine light was on...read codes...#3 cylinder mis-firing....had a blown head gasket. Lady just bought the used vehicle 2 months ago. It pays to have someone check/inspect any used vehicle before buying. The lady got ripped off.😕 (Lady thought check engine light was always supposed to be "on")

Easyer siad then dune with a Corsa D, they ant no temp gage. VX sucks for not fitting one

Radiator 06 kia spectra ex

Josh is a little cutie.

What if my reservoir is empty?

My coolant level is good

When I unlock my door it makes a fart noise how can I fix this?

Im smelling coolant, and my vehicle smells hot
