Next video will be the tint and front end suspension Then im thinking i should replace water, radiator, hosing etc and maybe make a how to videos out of them If these anything else you guys think of let me know Take it easy Byzaa👍
nice vid. I believe Holden recommend removing the bleed nipple completely when filling through the top radiator hose with one end in the radiator. This pushed all air out when filling block and most of radiator. Once it starts running out all air would have been pushed out. Reconnect the hose and fit the yellow tool or an old radiator hose and fill more coolant until steady stream from the bleed screw. As it is squirting out install and tighten screw. Then just start it up and run till thermostat opens. But this stage most air left is bubbles from the water pump impeller. The supercharge versions can be really hard to bleed with the thermostat at the back.
I like the filler jug but VZ etc run a different cap and if the housing for the cap is corroded may have trouble, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
South Australia, we never had inspections, unless the car got defected, i'd have absolutely no question, SA cars would be the Roughest in the Country. But shhhhh, Don't let our State Government know,
Think YT removed my comment because it had a Phone Number? Whyalla is having a demolition Derby in January, open class (Full size cars including utes/Panel vans) and to call Browny. For further details, (i'll provide later) it's closer to you you than Murray Bridge by at least a 10 hour round trip.
Good video mate, lookin to do a coolant flush on my vy. Busted gasket by the thermostat that needs replacing and mate, pulled the coolant dipstick out to have a look and seen nothing but gunked up red mud.
Hey thanks for the video, I found it very helpful. I have got to the stage of refilling with water and draining again to clear out the flush cleaner but I can only get about 6 or 7 litres back in each time before it overflows. My manual says it should take 12 litres. I am guessing the block still has about 5 litres in it. Will that be ok?
Just had to top up coolant in my 03 VY Berlina so topped it up via the radiator cap made sure it went through took it for a 40 min drive got home then after it cooled down I checked it and it wasn't at the top so I gave it a good pour and I've been doing that for the passed 3 days is that cause it needs to go through the system and everything so it's not completely full or something? I've seen no leaks anywhere got cardboard under it everyday to see if so but nothing yet anyone understand what I'm talking about thanks fellas!!
G'day mate Hey maybe see if you can borrow a pressure tester or get it pressure tested sounds like youve got a leak Sometimes the intake manifold leaks at the back of the engine
Another awesome vid mate. How gunky is that cooling system haha reminds me of my first HQ in the 90's it had a 179 engine and was so gunked up I found what looked like an ear in the radiator LOL that memory stuck with me and a mate who witnessed it. Always getting reminded about it ha. Those yellow thingos are very handy ive had one for years.

Great video mate, nice & simple for those with limited knowledge to do it themselves.

Yeah bro but hopefully we can get the old girl back up to scratch

Gday mate
You can just jam the hose up there it will be fine

Also see if these a coolant stains on the transmission eg where coolant from the back of the engine could be running down from

He didn't say how he flushed out the overflow bottt
Can do if you need a hand
Does that radiator flush work in a 2002 VY ?
Should do mate its pretty much the same process with most flushs
@@downtheshedwithbyron appreciate it
