Try reverse flushing the radiator by putting your garden hose onto bottom of radiator and pushing the contaminants up through and out of the radiator neck.
I'm at a convenient store and I thought I would check my husband car 2003 Mazda...we are poor as heck I can't afford anything. He don't care because he's mom and dad will buy him another car. I just lost my parents they didn't have life insurance so they took care of us. So I needed to do the best for our parents 😔 I'm fine I don't have anything but my parents are put to rest in a beautiful place 💘 I just need to get his car home its 12:20 am 😩😩😩😩😩help please

Loretta Butcher, what you should do is buy the vinegar and the baking soda at the convenience store and follow his instructions and everything will be alright.
When a cooling system is well and truly cleaned out I always use Rain water only , anti freeze , and lathe oil Yes lathe oil its water soluble ,, it never shits up again with rust,, rain water does not have lime scale ,,
P S,, Clean a white plastic header tank,, take it off put sand,, liquid soap,, and water in it,, put cap on and cover holes your hands,, then shake for a minute or two,,empty it wash it with clean water and it looks like new,,
Thankyou..... Its really work today I clean my radiator with baking soda and synthetic vinegar.... Its really work with no mechanic charges and other fatigue
you are very welcome
Vinegar has ethanol which dissolves the Sealent or silicon which is made in it. Thats the reason that silicon broke off from various parts and came out. I guess this technqiue may damage seals of various areas. So watch out.
@@sajidulghafoor6958 Maybe if it's in long enough, but a quick flush, may have been broken down already, but Just broke it loose. ALSO I Would only do that in a radiator flush or heater core flush, but he did get all of it out with water.
Vinegar and baking soda make a acid base reaction, they form a salt and neutralize each other. It would work better to use only vinegar. Then follow the rest of your instructions. I like to do one more clean with a radiator clean/flush product.
laserleftfoot ttt ....Salt and vinegar.....not baking soda....
@@vasojovanovic7628 IDIOT ...The acetic acid of the vinegar reacts with salt, or sodium chloride, to produce sodium acetate ( NO CLEANING USES )and hydrogen chloride.
A combination of baking soda and vinegar create a compound called carbonic acid... carbonic acid. attacks iron , producing rust
white vinegar. acetic acid is acidic enough to dissolve rust.
I think that white stuff might be from the inner lining of one yours hose about go. The black stuff might be from the plastic parts on your radiator breaking down. I don't think this mixture would clean much, don't be fooled by the fizzing. People use the same mixture to clean garbage disposal. I wasn't impressed by its cleaning power and wouldn't dump it into my coolant system. Regular flush products neutralize the minerals found in tap water. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th...etc. flush would be done with distilled water or else you are just adding the contaminates back into the system.
You can put a strainer like female stocking 5 inch long to catch things between thermostat and radiator.
If temperature rises fast, strainer is packed and blocked the water passage. Then remove things and put strainer back.
In my case with bmw radiator, it has space in the incoming hot water side to put strainer long. It had caught big amount of head gasket sealer fiber.
Excelent and most comments also Excelent
But for exlent job i prefer in case the waterpump quait old n its seal might be warned out it is recommended also to replace the waterpump and clean the thermostat
Did this man just say "some kind of gasket" but it's good the engine clean now!!😂😂😂 lmao
Looked like a fragment of silicone gasket maker
does vinegar harm the block or radiator as they are made from aluminum ????
Even rubber hoses
Adding baking soda makes little sense as it would simply neutralize the vinegar. The vinegar used straight will dissolve the limescale build up since lime is a base like baking soda. In fact a more aggressive acid like Muriatic acid 50% with water will really take care of it. Then after that, drain and add water with baking soda in it to neutralize any remaining acid in the system. Basic science.....no pun intended.
this thing that came of the engine looks like some kind of a filter that is teared because it was old and was not changed at time. the gasket pieces are from rtv silicone(after servicing engine head or gearbox), because not waiting 24 hours and using right away.
It would be advantageous to remove the thermastat to get a good flow. The engine will still warm up but a little slower.
i live in a hot climate.....and i have run w/o a thermostat for years. dont do it in a cold climate though. Oh, and i by-pass my heater core.....dont need heat in the winter here :)
Dave Burton Dave Burton what car and how do you prevent leakage from the closed up housing without the seal of the thermostat ?
@@Curi0u50ne 1999 toyota camry...and the seal for the thermostat housing is actually a rubber gasket that goes on the thermostat itself. You just take that rubber seal off and put it in the hole that connects the thermostat housing to the engine block and then tighten down.
@@dburton271 Are you in Arizona?
@@ApartmentKing66 New Mexico....High Desert :)
vinegar and baking soda if stays in system will chance to demage the whole system avaoid this and use radiator flush instaed
thanks you made a fantastic job
I would probably dissolve the baking soda first.. and proceed.
It would be a mess: chemical reaction ! He did right !
@@MUSTANGVERDE
No chemical reaction untill he adds the vinegar
Just force the water through with.pressurized hose. That should move out all the junk.
magnificent, interesting documentary. nice tips. enjoyed!
Thank you so much dear friend :D
Triple accion, good video, but are the elements you are using, won't destroy the integrity of the sealing of the cooling system?
Don't you see that he's damaged inner seals of car engine? 👎🏾
@@ahmedalimian9597 no, in that short of time and a very thorough flush? Doubt it.That quick flush would not have broken down seals in that a short of time unless they were already brittle
You just introduced minerals into your cooling system by adding tap water. You should only use DISTILLED water when flushing your system. Once drained, purchase a pre-50/50 mix antifreeze to refill your system, there won’t be any guessing when it comes to the proper mixture.
Servant of Christ - won't be any guessing but you would have done it wrong... you see after draining and running distilled water through the system you have to use 100% concentrate coolant to get anywhere near 50% final mixture. Do the math. If you drain 50% and fill with distilled and the run the engine and once or twice draining again in between you now have water in the other 50% of the system. Only way to get 50/50 is to fill with 100% coolant. Most videos do this incorrectly because they don't know the drained amount and the total capacity. What you end up with is a 70/30 or 80/20 mix doing it with premix.
if you take out the thermostat then it will take a really long time to warm up the engine, or it might not warm up at all because it's using all of the coolant instead of using half at a time.
see my comment above.
Not sure what you used to fix your radiator leak. But that stuff that you were pulling out looks like radiator sealant. A lot of mechanics don't recommend using sealants because it clogs the inside of your radiator. There's a RUclips video that shows this.
Or may be that stuff is waterpump bearig grease
well it looks very easy and affordable method, I will try it on my honda cr_v 2006 and see 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌😉
Thank you so much dear friend :D
I want to try this on my 94 civic will it work?
Someguyto did it, I’ve got d same...?
What was that big black hose connected to, water was gushing out of it on your last flush
Hey buddy, do i have to add vinegar and the baking soda all the 4 times? Or it's just water, vinegar and b.s for the first time and for the rest we flush it with water?
Nice oil tray.
I get it to operating temp and drain the system completely.....remove thermostat and reattach hose......mix about 1 or 2 cups of powder cascade dishwasher detergent in enough water to dissolve it and pour that in the radiator then top off with water....put cap on radiator and start car and let it run for a little bit to get the temp up.....kill it.....drain it.....repeat if necessary
It is good idea to stop to do that procedure to saves the engine gasquets and water pump.
You mean that it's not safe??
@@raypauligiraneza9258 No safe exactly!!.
I think I would dissolve the powder in water first
The man just put vinegar and baking soda in his coolant system and your worried about deionised water? Lol. Here's a tip. Don't put powerful corrosive agents in your coolant system if you want your engine to survive for more than a few years
😂😂😂lmao rite,I can only imagine the deposits left behind.
if I were going to do this I would dissolve the baking soda in the water first and would not run it through the engine this chemical reaction also creates a type of salt I would not want running through my engine.
Check this out don't ever do this first of all if you already have radiator problems and nasty dirty Rusty mud you probably have Sirius problems and a possible breach with gaskets and seals especially your head gasket being metal the electrolysis loves to eat that metal that's why old-school mechanics attach a ball of zinc to a chain below the cap to rest in the coolant so the electrolysis will eat the zinc first before it eats the aluminum in your motor. You can't just create a massive pressure inside of a motor like this that's already old and compromised okay anybody who ever got away with doing this got lucky and they did it even this guy knows they did it with very little water I mean you can't just introduce massive amounts of pressure in this motor it's only designed to withstand so much pressure that's why you have an oil pressure gauge when it goes to high your motor blows up well if you do this wrong you're going to blow your head gaskets are going to blow all kinds of seals oh have fun with that main seal yeah I dare you guys to try this and if you do on your vehicle that you commute with or anything like that you're an idiot do it on something that you do not care about because it's a 50-50 or less... and flushing your radiator is not expensive for less than $10 you can get the stuff that's actually designed to degrease the motor and actually eat away build up and corrosion and rust not to mention that Degreaser is very important I mean you're going to strip everything out of there and like I said seals are done I mean they make these products for a reason and yes even I know there are some products out there that are way overrated and probably don't even work and that you could probably do much better with household items Bay this just because you're seeing someone doing it doesn't mean he's a genius and doesn't mean it worked and if you got any kind of positive results he got lucky and he knows this because you can't do this on any vehicle and he knows this I don't even know why someone would share this like it's some sort of Genius trick...
and all of my people doing hard times say "And now we cooking BASE" 😎😎😎👀
Tap water has a lot sediments - they will be in car now and collect and corrode internal parts. Should use distilled water only !!
You must leave the vinegar few hours to maximized it effectiveness,or it is for the sake to upload your video
Preston’s radiator flush is much better and won’t damage internals, baking soda can leave harmful sodium deposits that corrode aluminum
👍👌🇮🇳 from India
Can I still do this process if there’s a leak? Just like yours
Is.this process friendly.for.water pump and engine gaskit ????
"Its just a gasket but your radiator will be cleaned"
You radiator looks brand new. Vineger and baking soda is the way folks.
You live in Texas!? Hill country baking soda lol
Gasket pieces ..... don't worry about it. They are from the baking soda & vinegar eating away at the edges of your head gasket. You will now have bigger fish to fry than cleaning out your radiator.
Sounds and looks like a nice IDEA,but that's about far as I would take it,I can only imagine the deposits left behind!! 😂😂
Not nearly as much as some of the chemical radiator flushes you can buy at parts stores.
didn't know Count Dracula was a mechanic
He has been living for a 1000 years out of shear boredom he has become an expert at everything just for something to do.
nice
Very nice but use distal water in whole processes
Anyone else think he sounds almost like Balki from "Perfect Strangers"?
😂
every body says that LoL
أحسنت يا ابن عمي! بس ناقص بيض، زيت و خبز! 😂
After all that work,i put a lower tempetature thermostat,it worked just great, the engine was not as hot,
Have you checked your spark plugs after doing that? It may make your engine run rich and build up carbon and lower your gas mileage. May be worth your while to check.
Going from a 200 to a 180 won't cause any problems even to a 160. It still gets hotter that's just what it opens at. The oil still gonna be 300 400 degrees. The bottom end is cooled by oil and gas
Your experience resulted temporarily good but the damage will be prominent. You've directly added so much of baking soda without mixing it with vinegar and water before to pour into Radiator 👍🏾
Everyone, please never do so 🙏🏾
I just need to know if I can just put coolant in my overflow
Yes you can and you should always add coolant for your radiator through this if it needs a little touch up. The overflow will reflect it. Basic maintenance, not if the radiator needs more than a cup or two.
Is that a four cylinder Moskvich or what?
Dont overdo..tg u for sharing..
Bro I'm not putting no gritty baking soda in the radiator
Wrong!!... remove thermostat, then use filtered water with dish soap and let it run until hot.. you may add a bit of automatic transmission fluid to soften the corrossion. Let it cool and flush with clean water until it runs clean... Next, use filtered water with vinegar (mild acid) to fill radiator and run until hot. Let it cool and flush with clean water until clean. Repeat the process but use baking soda (base,neutralizes acid). Flush with water until runs clean (may be tap water). THEN before adding high quality coolant, fill the systen with filtered water to displace tap water (hard water with minerals), then flush.. and for last, add engine coolant to a clean radiator. If you live in tropical weather, you may not put back the thermostat. If you live in cold freezing weather, you may want to put back the thermostat to allow the engine to get warm faster.
"It's environment friendly... Don't worry about it."
Yeah, this is the first time I've ever heard engine sludge called "environmentally friendly." Just pours it out onto the ground.
Hope this does the trick.......
WILL DO THIS SOON!

Just buy a bottle of regular radiator flush. Its cheap enough plus it designed for the purpose.
sharp
What if u dont want to pay that. .50 cents sounds alot better than $20
@@kjnewman7518 they are 5 to 10 dollars a bottle...
A really fast way to plug up your heater core ! ! !
yes I was gunna say you should loop your heater hoses to bypass the heater core
and remove the heater core to flush separately.
@@feenal1234 ty for the tip
@@feenal1234 it's not worth pulling the whole dash board out to remove the core for flushinf after all that may as well put a new one in and be done with it. Save it as a spare.
use a shop vac to get that goo
This car was reportedly seen in a junkyard a couple weeks after this video was made.
Using clean rain water in your radiator, it will protect your engine, you will get about 90 % less corrosion, add Coolant additive. The Chlorine in tap water is very bad for your engine.
Why did you have to remove the thermostats from the engine Bloc?
Cause for purpose of cleaning, he wanted the water to start flowing as the engine starts... Thermostat won't allow that until it is 100°
Its not ness
White stuff appears to be Calcium deposits
Can we use baking powder instead of baking soda.
you can but, baking soda is better than baking powder in cleaning
Pretty sure you are suppose to use distilled water. Not tap water....
Dereck LeRoy for flushing it out it should be okay to use tap water as long as you drain it soon to put the correct coolant and distilled water
Built To Break ahh ok gotcha.
Reply someone
I was under the impression that flushing with tap is ok, but not for mixing or running in the engine as a coolant.
I've used tap water for 25 years never had a problem but I change my coolant once a year. 2 years on my parents. For 14 dollars the peace of mind is worth it. For the record I've never ever seen any mechanic shop ive been at use distilled water. It's water from the hose or deep handwash sink.
I just read that a Mechanic said to use tide soap for 2weeks.
Omg.
Meguiars D140 Wheel Brightener diluted 5 to 1 with running engine w/o thermostat for 5 minutes, then flush with clean water ...
I've used Laundry powered soap, don't remember, 1/2 cup maybe a little more? Drove around for a week or so. Amazing the Crap that came out! Don't forget to turn on the heater on.
Vinegar is good enough to clean it, like cleaning my electric kittle .
Can you flush it without removing the thermostat ?
Ya u can
no because it will keep all the fluid until the engin warms up and the the reaction of the chemical mix will loose its effect
Was that a snake?
Pre Mix Soda and water
It is ur waterpump bearing greas
only used antifreeze and distilled water. Never any other liquid
yes but I would use mixed ready coolant without adding any water to it , just to avoid the evaporating from the engine
Dont do it , this will ruin your engine
u havnt shown how to remove thermostat and drain water
If you can't do that, then don't work on your car yourself.
Acid as an engine flush isn't a good idea. Gaskets, rubber seal and metal damage.
Older vehicles with metal radiators made from copper and aluminum acid flushes were common and worked. These new plastic radiators are made to be thrown away and replaced. Even the air holes are smaller and you can clog them more trying to pressure wash them out. Old metal radiators had more airflow and easy to clean out
My guess that goopy stuff is oil!
Dracula drives? I thought be could turn into a bat and fly.
No s*it Sherlock! Vinegar(acid) + backing soda(base)= water + sodium carbonate(salt)
Did you put the thermostat housing back before you ran that car or you left it off
That's what I was wondering. But he must have in order to run the engine and it not just run out. Right?
I like your rraa-di-aeeytar :)

I just need to know how screwed I am because my brother put a water down Coca-Cola in my radiator
J Gray Coca-Cola is just sugar water, the sugar should stay dissolved in the hot cooling fluid and not cause too much damage hopefully but I’d flush your cooling system ASAP
Super you had blown your radiator, sure it will start leak after 6 month,
Best option is remove radiator mix kerosin baking soda, petrol and detergent one t spoon each with 6 liter water soak over night and mild pressure for at least 6 times, then your Will be cleaned 80%
His coolant looked like mine when my water pump impeller had completed deteriorated. Turned that rust color with that crap chunks and he has metal chunks on-the-ground. I bet his water pump is on its way to failure. Mine still worked in traffic. Started to slightly run warm in traffic. But not so much in the cooler months. Had to pull the heads and timing cover and discovered it then. It still functioned to the point red flags weren't raised yet. Now I just change it once a year. Every summer it's drained and refilled with new coolant. It may say 150,000 miles but coolant shouldn't go more then 2 years without being changed. Additives wear out. Its cheap enough to have no reason not to. 15 dollars a year. So fuel filter at the same time. 25 dollar peace of mind yearly. If more people would just look and do things like that they could see warning signs before a hose ruptures most of the time. Instead of not looking go to shop to change oil or replace battery most people never see the condition of their accessories

why this chemical reaction works, what does it do?
it's reacts with all the residue and rusting inside the engine block and remove it outside
Triple acción isn't the viniger is neutralized by sodium bicarbonate? Why this still works?
@@shimondoodkin Vinegar is a natural cleaner, rust remover, and Crud cutter. Mixed with vinegar it foams causes a chemical reaction that transforms both into a mild carbonic acid solution & releases co2 gas. inegar and baking soda are two chemical compounds that, when reacted together, create carbon dioxide. Baking soda is the chemical sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3. Vinegar is mainly acetic acid, when mixed they form carbonic acid, which is unstable at room temperature in the presence of water and immediately breaks into H2O and CO2. That's what you're seeing. The CO2 gas being formed and bubbling out of the misty solution (the mist comes from the excess baking soda.) This bubbling of solution makes a volcanic like reaction because the gas is trying to escape. This foaming action along with the acidic properties help to remove oxidized metals, as well as calcium buildup, and rust.

You put all that shit in there to make it look like it did something haha!
Good luck to your water pump haha

Why would you mix baking soda and vinegar... They both basically cancel out each other's benefits lol.
Yes I agree the vinegar is ac8d and the baking soda is alkaline. I would pour vinegar in and let sit over night then flush next morning with baking soda to neutralise effects of acid. Then finally flush again with fresh water from bottom radiator opening while engine is running.
