    Great instructional video. I'm handy with tools, but not a mechanic. RUclips makes me brave enough to try stuff. Get the right tools and you can do this. I have seen other instructionals that don't involve removing the front clip. I'm sure glad I DID !! So much easier when everything is apart.

    @batty22222 3 года назад +5

    no-so PRO TIP. Make sure you don't switch out the four screws going into the front of the radiator for the slightly longer ones! It's just enough to puncture the radiator tanks (black plastic) and really bum you out.

    @cameronfostervr6519 6 лет назад +6

    Good job dude😂 but I was cringing when you didn’t remove the cap off your coolant reservoir... it would of let go of the vacuum 😂 gotta say your way was faster tho👌🏽💯

    • @rheasley
      @rheasley 5 лет назад

      Unequivocally opening the reservoir cap releases the vacuum. Unequivocally, it was closed when you opened the drain, because it clearly had a vacuum on it, since it didn't drain quickly, until you cracked the lower radiator hose. Best practices seems to be 1) open the drain, then 2) open the expansion tank; this way you don't get a rush of hot coolant, immediately. Awesome video, but you're a little touchy in the comments; learn and grow. Thank you SO much for the detail and great production/editing - by far the best one on this topic.

  • @mickfaust1606
    @mickfaust1606 7 лет назад

    Do you have any recommendations for a radiator upgrade? I have a 2012 VW Tiguan. During hot sommers and heavy traffic, my temperature gauge sometimes goes a couple of lines past the midway point. I never goes higher then a couple of lines, but it does worry me a little.

    • @mickfaust1606
      @mickfaust1606 7 лет назад

      Yes in Miami. I thought the radiator may be struggling, it sometimes stays on for a few minutes after I turn off my car. I never really looked at the different coolant types.

    Wrong coolant was in that vehcile. Vehicle should have OEM Pink Coolant for maximum Radiator and Cooling Efficiency. No wonder he replaced it.

    • @dragonicankh
      @dragonicankh 6 лет назад

      True mixing the coolant is also a very bad thing todo as well that causes the two coolants to horribly jell up.. But The universal coolant isnt designed to properly lubricate the waterpump, and the green coolant causes alot of corrosion in the german engines, not always, but it has happened many times with green coolant in the engines.

    • @dragonicankh
      @dragonicankh 6 лет назад

      Ive just always used OEM Coolant in Volkswagens, as for any other car that takes standard coolant i use peak global as well. I just personally from experience wouldnt use green coolant of any kind in a German Car. Especially because German cars are extremely sensitive, and very picky.
