    Such an easy thing, yet you are the only guy I have came across who can explain it in a way that doesn't make it overly complicated. And showing us how to do it is a big help. I topped mines up earlier and I usually just pour it in and walk away, but I will be able to do it properly now. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

    Great video Stephen. Was I your crying friend :p. Happened to me, years ago on my e36, I loosened the rad cap a little and it fired all over mr. Lucky I was wearing my glasses. Still have a decent scar from it. I’m glad you earned of the dangers. Keep up the great content :)

    • @CarSpyTV
      @CarSpyTV  Год назад +4

      Thank you, Matt. Glad you enjoyed the video. I know a few people who've been sprayed.
      It would be interesting to demonstrate the risk on camera. For example, build up pressure in the cooling system then release the cap remotely (from a great distance). That could be figured out.
      However, it's one of the ideas that should probably remain on the 'best not' list!

    You didn’t mention that the coolant additive you are using is an OAT product which stands for Organic Acid Technology and greatly helps in preventing corrosion.

    How long would it Take at 2000rpm until the Main cooling fan should come to life? Had Mine running for about ten Minutes at 2000rpm but Main fan Isn't firing up... Else it seems to have worked just fine as per your instructions.
    Thanks a lot for the awesome instructional video.

    My corsa d heater never blows hot, so foggy windows all the time.
    Also coolant keeps going low.
    Told heater matrix problem, how much you think it'll cost for a mechanic to fit new one?

    • @CarSpyTV
      @CarSpyTV  7 месяцев назад +1

      A new heater matrix isn't expensive. You can even get a used one on eBay.
      The mechanic's time is the main cost and that varies from garage to garage.

    Hi, my friend put screen wash in her coolant so I flushed it out and put fresh coolant in, however, the fan is not kicking in and I feel the pipes are pretty solid so I think the thermostat isn’t opening. Any idea what might have gone wrong? The fan was working was working fine before
