Reconnect the lower radiator hose before refilling with coolant. Also, no flush is happening here and a lot of old coolant is being left in the engine block.

Planning on doing this soon, how would you recommend making sure it is truly all flushed out? Just running water through a few times?

@Blinknone Жыл бұрын

@@applenotbanana749 That's what I usually do.. Several (3-5) "drain and fills" with plain water, then filling up with a final mix of new coolant and distilled water. Make sure to drive it enough to open the thermostat a few times each time you drain and fill. Need to get all that fluid circulating.

For those who don't have a temp guage, get yourself a scan tool that registers live data. Monitor the temp using the scan tool. If you're doing your own maintenance, a scan tool is a must anyway.

Is there not an aftermarket replacement for that hard plastic hose coupler to make draining the system easier?

Was there any need to put the heater on? If so do you leave it on while u r filling it up?

@Revved_up_jb 2 жыл бұрын

Probably too late but yes, coolant will flow to heater matrix. It’s best to do this on every car you do a coolant change on

What is the reason to flush the coolant lreservoir? I took to Walmart to change the oil and the reservoir broke and needs replacement* I am going to order this part with you guys but I would like luto change it myself, do I need to do all that or if I remove the liquid and replace will be just fine.

@90210sky 5 жыл бұрын

if your MINI is not too old, you ll be Ok using the same coolant, although it would be a great opportunity to change it, then you ll extend the life of your components. peace of mind.

@dlively3013 4 жыл бұрын

Sounds to me like Walmart broke your reservoir. You have to partially remove it to access the oil filter. That's probably how it got broke.

@lucyfyrearchoftwilight9282 3 жыл бұрын

@@dlively3013 Except that Mini's are infamous for the reservoir to crack and the plastic weld line. If it's leaking from there.... that's Mini for ya. I am currently swapping my OEM plastic one (plastic weld leak) with an all-aluminum welded reservoir. End of that BS.

This is freaking weird. Typical, overly-complicated German engineering. I'll never buy another German car. Fantastic video though - no blabbing and perfectly explained.
