Sorry for the gray boxes; didn't realize there was something private (IMO) in the shot.

Is it a bad idea to use water hose to spray debris out from the top? I was planning to start with vacuum and a leaf blower then maybe use a hose.

Doubt water from a hose would do any damage. So I don't think it's a bad idea.

What was the cost for the new radiator? Can you explain how did you purge for any air instde the radiator coolant?

Getting the part has its own funny story. Long story short, $125 for an OEM radiator from eBay. Tesla wanted to charge me $300, but I think that's cause I may have offended their "parts professionals." 😁 As for purging the cooling system, Tesla offers the steps to do so. service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-500E27A2-6F6A-47FD-A5A4-E13387AF6251.html#GUID-500E27A2-6F6A-47FD-A5A4-E13387AF6251

Hi, I have a 2019 M3 dual motor that is similar from your M3 performance, without heat pump. What in your opinion is the reason for this small hole in your radiator? Do you plan to have it repaired (welded)? If so was it successful ? Thanks for your video

Reason for the hole is a rock smacked the radiator just right. I did find a sharp pebble under the bumper after working on the car; I think that's what did it. My plan is to replace the radiator, but I did try soldering the radiator for the heck of it. That's why the spot with the hole is slightly discolored; didn't work. I have a ticket open with Tesla; trying to get a replacement part from them.
