If you have a problem with antifreeze leaking out, do not rush to remove the bypass hoses as advised on the forums. Just check to make sure that there is pressure in the cooling system, touch the radiator hose on a warm engine, the hose should be hard from the pressure and soft when the engine is cold. If your hose is soft on a hot ICE, this means that the thermostat filler cap is not pressed tight enough. The fact is that the plastic part of the thermostat consists of low-quality elastic and antifreeze leaks between the valve and the thermostat housing. The solution is to put a rubber ring under the thermostat cover or replace the thermostat housing as a whole.
Great video. Thanks for posting !
