Super instructive Thank You for showing all the parts the visual is very helpful
No problem. I hope after watching this everyone has a better idea what they are doing
Be sure to check out my other videos too
Amazing
Thanks for the video
No problem!
I know this may be a dumb question, but do you have the bottom hose off and draining out while you’re getting the temperature up? Or is the hose on and you’re taking it off after it gets up there after every cleaning? And yes I know the risk of burning yourself is very high with the second option but I just wanted to be clear.
I had the hose on each time.
I wanted to get the soap to run through and do as much cleaning as possible before I dump it and do another rinse
A good informational video, thanks. However, you forgot to mention the heater will also be contaminated. You need to open the heater valve to maximum hot and turn the AC system off. Opening the heater valve will ensure that as few as possible air locks are created when you fill the system up. It will also clean the heater out. Cheers from Australia.
Great point! I thought I did go over that in the video
@@GearsAndTech you did
Great video but confused . I assume once the detergent is in you close off the drain off valve then run the car ? How long do you run the car until you drain it out again and add more detergent ?
Thanks
Yes run it. But then drain it again. You can't drive it with the detergent in
Maybe oil was put into the coolant reservoir but aren't there also a few other ways oil can get into coolant? Do you think it might be worth checking to see if that's exhaust gas bubbling out of the reservoir?
It's worth a deeper check if you're really not sure how the oil got into the resovior.
If you know for sure how it get there then mystery solved
If it was something else then it would be evident pretty quick since the flush would keep getting re-contaminated.
I just bought a KTM 390 with oil in the water, its light brown colour, there are no gas bubbles when I rev the engine and it doesn’t pressurise so I am hoping someone put oil in the radiator. Thanks for the tip on using dish washer powder, that’s what I will do. Also very good tip about putting the heater on so the water flows and cleans that out too.
I don’t know how they’d do that on a motorcycle since the coolant reservoir is usually harder to get to. Good luck!
check the water pump seals
I'm going to leave it in for the summer I put a hole box in mine 4 or 5 time so far
I wouldn't suggest driving around with the soap in it
What should I add to distilled water to clean scale and rust from an old engine block that's been sitting? I guess I could hit it hard with a hose while the engine block is out of the car, but still, I'd like to add probably just a small amount of powder dishwasher detergent or something like that and drive the car hard for at least 20 minutes at a time a couple times. But where I'd really do things differently, assuming you're doing this in warm weather (and I can't recommend doing this in the winter), I would flush with a hose, then fill to the max with clean distilled water, and then I would drive the car like that for at least a week, then I would flush again before finally adding 50/50 coolant.
As you can see from the snow on the ground, we couldn't leave water in the engine overnight
Hi.. are those junks are normal?? because I have the same in my car
It's not normal
@@GearsAndTech oh. but my engine dipstick is clear.. and no overheating issues at all... the car is running no problem... should I get worried?
hey at least she didnt put the coolant where the oil goes lol.
That's for sure!
looks you have oil in water,
Yes. The oil was added when my daughter thought she was topping up the oil in her car. It took a long time to flush it all out.
Or a severely lraking head gssket? Good lord, people need to be careful wtf you watch on RUclips.
Never seen a bad headgasket not blow bubbles in your coolant, or make the engine run rough, or make the coolant go milky.
This was different than all those
Obviously I confirmed the headgasket was fine first.
But thanks for stopping by
This comment is ignorant. You obviously don't know what failing oil coolers will do to a cooling system
@@arnoldrodriguez6300 Yup, happened to me
