2001 Audi A4 V6 Heater Core Flush

My 2001 Audi A4 had no heat due to a plugged heater core. It is way too expensive to replace the heater core in this car. See how I flushed out the heater core for less than $30.

You did a great job slowing down the process I feel confident to do mine now thank again
Nice work thanks for the tips 👍
Excellent spirit!
Great video. Would like to see more on the GL450.
A spot of loctite huh? Jack stands what about shoes ?
Looking to keep this one.. Some kid crashed my 2000 camry with 120k miles. So looking for advice thank you
How much were the brake pads and rotors. Are mercedes parts significantly better or the ones you installed equal to mb parts just cheaper. How long did it take you to change the parts ? Thank you. I have 160k on mine bought it used with 150k two years ago now hardly drive it. Just recently changed the starter. Some people like yourself. Said they could take the starter out without taking apart the front end. Said they could do it in under an hr. Others said 3 hr job. Saw starter part on ebay and other auto parts retailers for 108 -235 dollars . They all can't be the same. I put in oem part bosch. Significantly more than ebay . Autobarn.. napa oreilly part.
Nice job
Great video I’ve got to do my GL 320 😊
Great video 👍 just one thing it's always better to push the cylinders back in with the old disks still in 👍
Hi thanks a million for your information, can you please tell me the name of company that sells the brakes.
Can u tell me where front right Sam module on 2011 gl450 is located? Can't find and see no videos for it?
Dunno why this was in my recommendations, but wanted to say good job, however you put chinaman garbage parts on this fine machine. Centric parts is pure doodoo from Chiner. Next time seek out Zimmerman rotors, and Textar brake pads. It's what these vehicles bring from the factory. The pads also have a unique position in the caliper. They have an arrow that should face in the direction of forward rotation. Otherwise, good job.
Where's the arrow located?
thank you. still relevant.
My friend installed the spring clips incorrectly which was causing my brakes to make a loud ass squealing noise. Didn't figure it out until today & you showed me how they should be properly installed so thank you for that 💪.
Nice video. I changed the front brakes and rotors yesterday (first time doing this), and am now studying up to do the rears. What did you torque the caliper bolts to? Looking at my car yesterday, I was concerned about getting access to these w/ a socket, but you seemed to do fine with it.
Great video thanks for taking the time to make it…you have saved me lots of time, money and the headache
Thanks.
I have a question for you, don't u have to disconnect the sbc connector first?
Thanks for posting this! Flushed the core on my 2001 a4 for four hours and it worked like a charm!
Is this the same for 2006 audi a4 2.0 liter turbo
Love that you were bare footed doing the brake job! You're my kind of peeps
is the oem semi metallic? Did you use semi or ceramic?
So is changing the sensor and rotary mandatory? Or is it best to go ahead and change? *First timer
Should hardware be on the front and rear or just the rear? I purchased brake pads for my 2017 Mercedes GLS 450 from the dealership, but the dealership box had only rear hardware, not front hardware. The shop that did my brakes showed me that my front brakes move back and forth because no hardware came with brakes. They also showed me that the rear brakes do not move because it has hardware. Should there be hardware in the front as well?
You will typically re-use the old hardware.
Great video, do you know if this would apply to a 2015 gl350?
the job will be very similar and may even be the same parts between the 350, 450 and 550
who was that guy... that put that lock tight red on there?
I dont know but he caused me a lot of work to get the brackets off.
That super clean bare metal will super rust.
Great Video and great job explaining everything
Thank you
Love how you always mention the genius who used lock tite red! It’s kind of how Trump talks about Peter Strzok and his Lover Lisa Page 🤣 great thorough video! Thanks!
This was excellent demonstration. Do you do videos on other Mercedes, such as CLS 550 4-matic?
He did an excellent demonstration of changing the brakes as well good advice about the little things to make your job easy in the future.
I followed ur oinstructs, rotor isint sliding off? Thanks for the vid
Make sure the E-Brake is off. The Rotor will not slide off with the E-Brake on. If the E-Brake is still too tight; then use a flat blade screw driver to release the tension on the brake by turning the gear wheel tensioner.
How did you know what size tap to use ?
Just checked the thread against the bolt. MB uses all standard size metric threads / pitch. Hold the tap against the thread of the bolt and the threads will fit perfectly together. Try one size larger and one size smaller and you will easily see that they don't fit.
Go to a machine shop supply store with the bolts they have charts and gauges also you can purchase taps from them
@@remodelassets6523 Not good advice
Great video. 👍
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions and video! I've done a couple of brake and rotor replacements over the years but never on a Mercedes. The Euro shop wanted over $600 to replace them and I bought Zimmerman rotors and high end ceramic pads. There were cheap metallic ones on the car and the 21mm bolts were super tight on mine as well. I had to use a pipe on the ratchet and pull pretty hard to loosen them. But then everything was a piece of cake. You saved me $300 in labor and I'm confident they are installed, torqued and lubricated better than if a shop or dealer would have installed them. This video was so helpful!
Thanks man. Your feedback is much appreciated.
Praise the lord 🙌
your work instructions were awesome, I could use a person like you to be factory manager- job excellently well done
Thank you.
Nice
Thank you
Just tried this on a Mk6 GTi. The reservoir filled up and water came out the two disconnected hoses?? But not the hose in the bucket. Happed trying to flush in both directions
Are there sensors on all four or just one side per rear and front
Duke Sensors are only on the passenger side. Front and back
I used the same set up on my passat b5. It works really. It is amazing...... I'm sooo hapy. Ill will repeat the washing at the weekend.
Your rotor came off very easy. Even though the parking brake was off on my 2009, my rotor was hung up on the parking brake shoes. Had to fight to get it off.
It happens some times. Just pull it off a strait as possible.
Vaseline on rubber makes it swell. NO GOOD BUDDY.
The rubber is VITON. It does not swell.
Perfect job I’m trying to get like this car Do you recommend me with this one Thanks
There are not that many CLS550's available. Don't over pay. MB did not import all that many of these cars to the USA. There is a DOT recall on: 1. gas tank 2. Air Bag 3. Sun Roof Gasket MB will fix these recalls for free. The front door window regulators are also problematic. Replace them as soon as they start to make noise. They fail faster in hot climates. $1200 at the MB dealership. Other than that, these are solid cars.
I dont have a GL, I do have a CLS. Im here because I like the way you change brakes
Is it really necessary to apply lactite on those bolts?
yes
Great video
How often should the brakes me changed, I had my front brakes replaced not even three years ago and I have done less than 10k miles since I dont drive it that often, and now my front brakes are making a squealing noise?
great video, awesome information, thank you for such detail.
Quality job - no corners cut.
NICE JOB!!!
PARDS2 Thanks man.
