Just wanted to let you know that I used this video today to perform this exact maintenance on my lady's PT Cruiser! Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking time to make this video. I'm not a mechanic, live in an area where the military and elderly get their pockets rapped. This video helped me take care of my moms PT cruiser that she "HAD TO HAVE". Even though it's been problems from day #1. She won't let go.

Thanks for all this great info. Have a 2001 PT Cruiser. Water pump replaced, belt replaced, thermo replaced,, fans replaced, cap replaced and it would still heat up with the air on gurgle at the overflow, etc. The radiator was all that was left. Replaced it today and no more heat ups. In fact, @ 85 degrees outside here in Reno the fan kicks on and off at an idle. I was thinking it was a head gasket but lucked out on that one. The radiator was about half full of junk on the outside you couldn't even see through it so little cooling was going on there. Thanks again. Walter

Thank you for your awesome video. I just replaced the radiator in my 2001 Pt Cruiser today and it's working perfectly!

I'm going to attempt to change my radiator out this weekend. I've never done more than changing a tire or my oil, so I was a little worried, but after watching your videos I think I will be able to do it. thanks so much!

I appreciate these P.T. Cruiser videos. The timing belt one was a godsend for that job. The radiator is next on mine and I get to do this, this weekend. These videos really help in working through the nightmare that is the how these cars were put together.

Excellent! Very useful/helpful video. I’m going to be replacing my leaking radiator in my high-output turbocharged 2005 PT Cruiser convertible this Saturday. Thank You for posting this video!

Thank you very useful and accurate just helped me replace the radiator in my 2005 Turbo PT Cruiser Convertible . One of THE most accurate videos I have seen in a while right down to dropping the hood latch washer, I did it too and was like doh he warned me

I used this video to replace mine. Much appreciated that you made this. I lived in Columbus, GA for a while and also grew up in Detroit. When I saw the name "Motorcity" I assumed that's where you were from. Then, I saw "Grovetown". Either is cool! Thanks again!

Great video and instructions! We just bought a 2005 to fix and sell, and the radiator is leaking. nice we found your channel as us auto repair channels should stick together, you just got a new subscriber!

Thank you so much for this video. You decreased my learning curve, and that's always appreciated! Thank you, thank you. 👍🏻

Thanks so much for your help, you save me a lot time, stress and money , keep working on your great information videos your helping a lot a people. Have a great day

Thank you, nice detail, replacing my radiator as a result of a collision.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I was able to change the radiator from a 2003 Cruiser.

Thank you you made it look easy by doing part by part

I need replacing my radiator of me Ptcrusier 2008, Regards from Mexico City Thank You MotorCity Mechanic.

Your A Great Mechanic Thanks For The Videos!!

Good video. Very descriptive. Thanks man.

Great video man. Wife hit a deer so I am about to tackle the hood, fender, headlight, radiator AND intercooler on our Cruiser!

nice man, thanks for all your time and effort. This is very helpful.

Much appreciate the help to understand how to go before looking everywere and scratcing my head bold.

Thanks! As the go to guy in my family for mechanical work you helped me tremendously. I often do work for family and friends ECT and am always asked could you.....or can you...ND my response is let me look it up. Thanks for the time you take in making these videos. God bless.

Thanks for the vid. Tackling this next week

Getting ready to do this in an hour. Great video, and thanks.

Hey man great video, really helpful

Great video! Thank you sir.

Nice job! You’re really going to make us wait on your daughters PT.

good video and thanks for getting right to it instead of a bunch of commentary at the front of your video. Thanks

Great Video, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Thank you! What I would have added to the vid is how you would go about adding all the coolant back into the system. Is it just a matter of filling it up from the radiator cap, running the engine, and checking the reservoir?

Thanks for postings

Great video

Thanks man this helped alot

Thanks for the info just had my fan replaced $500 on 2/19/2020 fan died with 2002 PT with 55,000 miles on it. Nice to know what is being done when I talk to the mechanic to see if the repair cost is justified. PT body in great shape no rust want to keep it going for as long as possible.

I just want to thank you for this video! Literally you showed step by step all the hidden bolts & such on my PT. Made my job so much easier! And only cost me $80 for the rad and my coolant!

Thank you for another great video..

Great video! thank you very much sir ! very helpful

Thanks, very informative!

Trying this! Thankyou!!

Thank you so much for sharing this video! I'm not a mechanic at all, and I DO NOT ever even try to work on my car by myself, but I always enjoy watching and learning...at least to get an idea of how hard of job the mechanic is getting into with my car. I have a 2004 PT Cruiser, and about 3 months ago it began running hot on me...out of the blue. It was 105 outside that day, and I was driving out on the interstate around 80 mph and decided to turn on my A/C and get cool. I kicked back and turned up my music to enjoy the rest of my ride home. THANKFULLY, I happened to look down at my gauges and noticed that my temp gauge was up around the 3/4 mark, but not into the RED ZONE...yet. I quickly turned off the A/C and turned on my heater, rolled down my windows, to not burn up in the heat, and the temp gauge began to drop slowly back down to the 1/2 mark. I decided to keep going and get my car home. The next day I took it to my mechanic and he said my fan motor was NOT working at all....so, I had him change that out and also go ahead and put in a new thermostat while he was in there and flush the radiator and re-fill it with new coolant. Well....that DID NOT WORK. At first I thought it was all good, because we had the car sitting and idling with the A/C on, and all was fine, but as soon as I took it down the road heading home, it began to over heat again..QUICKLY. I turned around and took it right back to him, and it was actually STEAMING OVER at the cap area. Turned out that the original cap was no good anymore, so we put a new one on, and that stopped that....but...the car was still over heating only when driving it over 2 RPM's for any length of time...and especially if you turned on the A/C. I have no oil in my coolant, no milky looking stuff in my oil, no white smoke blowing out the back, no leaks are found anywhere, no noises of any kind...so I've had 3 mechanics tell me that they honestly believe that I have a partially blocked radiator, and to just put a new one on it...so that's what I'm going to have done now. I've bought my new radiator, upper and lower hoses, 4 clamps, and a couple gallons of coolant. I hope and pray that this does the trick, because if it doesn't work, then I just can't even begin to think of what else it could be causing the over heating....except for a warped cylinder head???? PLEASE DON'T LET IT BE THAT!!!!!

Thank you very much for the video appreciate it

Thanks for info very helpful

Thank you! 😊

Good video very helpful radio came out like dolphin and it was the fan that I've been told the fan goes bad on him quite often when you're at a stop it won't go away well that's what it was it was actually the fan

You got lucky on the condenser bolts. On mine, there was one at the bottom right up against the ac compressor. It was very difficult to get out.

Fantastic video. I'm working on my son's 2001 PT Cruiser - he's experiencing the over heating issue that most owners seem to be going through as well. We've replaced the rad cap, thermostat and cooling fan - which btw was done by the previous owner with one heck of a hack job done on splicing the wires which had burned out. Next step is to replace the radiator with the expectation that his current one has a blockage in it somewhere. There's no typical signs of damage to the motor (ie: smoke, smell of rad fluid, loss of power, fluid leaks, etc) so I'm pretty sure it's not the head gasket. I'll be ordering the part from Rock Auto today and will surely have this video on my play list while doing it ;)

Thanks

Great videos... very informative simple and to the point with some great tips.

Nice thanks

Best vids around, but how do I get the condenser out?

I think your input on these cars are very interesting but I would like to see some work done on some TURBO models....Keep up the work & hope that you keep us in the loop. Thank you

Nice video. We just got a used 2007 PT Cruiser, drove it home and instantly the radiator shot out antifreeze from the overflow tank. After reviewing numerous videos and comments on the PT Cruiser one would think Chrysler would have fixed the overheating issue but it appears they haven't. The previous owner replaced the radiator fan. I've read many people claiming that their overheating issue was because of the space between the AC cooling and radiator fins which collects leaves, dirt and road debris such as small pieces of plastic getting stuck between the AC and radiator fins preventing air flow. I do not know if the previous owner cleaned that space out when he replaced the radiator fan but looks like that is what we will now be doing to figure out this overheating issue. I also notices the 'bleeder valve' doesn't look like it has ever been used to 'bleed' the air out of the cooling system (it's covered in rust) so who knows if there is any air pockets.

good job

Thank u for the videos I just got a 02 Pt and the radiator is clogged.

Will this same instructions work on an 05? Just recently purchased one and radiator is bad....?

Should wed goahead an chain waterpump aswell

Top my friend hélio fron Brazil

man this is awesome. i have an 01 the broke a motor mount bolt and when the engine dropped it busted the top tank. after fighting for 2 hours i watched your videos and it was simple!! talk about feeling dumb lol. thank you for doing what you do

The new radiator i received for my car has the transmission hose on the front but my car is like the one you are working on here and the transmission hose are not connect to the radiator. What do I do?

How do you remove the electrical connector beneath the radiator. I hear one click and then you yank the cable. What do I push on the connector to get the click, and then the connector to release ? HELP

Question? Do you have a video on how to remove and replace the mid engine mount. I'm working on my daughter's pt cruiser...and I noticed there's very little room to work with..

Great video. I need to change a radiator on an '01 PT, auto-trans. Would you know it it has a separate trans cooler? Thanks in advance, Raspscotty.

I’m trying to replace mine right now and it’s just like the radiator you pulled out .. the new one has 2 nipples in the bottom I believe connections for the transmission or so.. but I can’t find the radiator without it .. what do you recommend I do?

you have a link where you fix the power steering problems?

hi. I changed my radiator and I pulled that little hose with fluid coming out (redish), I didn't know what it was, is it a transmission fluid or a steering fluid. thanks again.

Great video. I was wondering because I have to change the radiator fan on a 2003 PT Cruiser GT Turbo and because the previous owner replaced the original turbo radiator (with removable upper inlet) with a non turbo one (non-removable inlet) I am going to have to remove the radiator to accomplish this. On my model there is an A/C condenser as well as some type of additional cooler (I am guessing Transmission) attached to the front of the radiator as well. I believe I need to try and remove the radiator and fan as a unit, is there any way to do this without disconnecting/discharging that A/C condenser and/or disconnecting that cooler as well? My fan is already disconnected completely from the radiator but it wont come out with the radiator still in place, I am doing this repair outside in my driveway (freezing cold now) so if you know the smoothest way to pull this off I would be very very grateful and will seriously consider sending you and your shopmates some beers through the mail :) Thanks.

They were wanting to charge $500 to replace my cracked radiator. But this shows me I should be able to easily do it for nothing!

👍🏽

Pt sitting in Garage for a Year Because it overheated. no steam from pipes no leak . heat was working but would keep overheating. new fan only 2 years old. Y Does it keep overheating? is a $1600 fix worth it ?

I am replacing the radiator in a 2007 or cruiser. Every radiator that I have looked at for the car does not have the same fittings as the original that came out. At the bottom of the new radiator has the ports in diff. Locs. Compared to the orig. I have searched and searched for the exact replacement and can't find one that matches. Do I need to get new hoses? What should I do? Please help.
