Thanks for this video! I'm about to do mine today and I'll be having this video on repeat! Just picked up a 98 323is and very excited to get it going.
Thanks for the help! Did this process about 3 times on my 95 M3. Before this the coolant wouldn’t stay in the expansion tank without bubbling and overflowing once car started heating up. After doing this, no more issues 👍
Hot damn! Running the heater is genius!
No it's common sense
Great clear video!
keep it up bro!
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Sweet video and bad ass ride.
Appreciated!
Have to keep an eye on engine temp with the engine running. It will overheat fast because you have not bled the air out of the system.
For flushing : you could also disconnect the pipe at the bottom of the tank. place that pipe into your drain pan. Then disconnect the feed pipe to the top of the rad. Loosen both clamps, disconnect the rad side of the pipe and rotate the pipe to face upward. Then tighten the engine side clamp. Once tight you can fill that pipe with D/W to help the flush. Nice vid.
Thanks for the trick!! I’ll try it out next time!
then won't it leave some tap water in engine ? I prefer to the method in this channel, it will make sure only left the distill water in the engine.
AC needs capasitor change 0.47. Also sometimes loosen socket can be do this. Well done.
Nice car
Thnks for the video. You have an awesome car and even more awesome dad. Good luck!
doesnt it feel GOOOOOD
Thanks for the info my brother.
can I know the name of the song you used in the montage?
boutta go flush my ass thanks
what if my heater doesn’t work what should i do ?
Do you know something about it, what type of coolant should be used according to the climate of a country or region? I understand that the blue coolant that everyone recommends, the one you used in this video, is very good for cold climates, but in my case, I live in a hot country, and in my city there are never climates below 20 degrees Celsius. I appreciate any help, I do not find official information about it
The color is only a differentiating factor between companies, color doesn’t really translate to a real world difference. Hot or cold, mix it 50/50. Mixing it like this not only helps prevent freezing, but keeps expansion, steaming and corrosion at minimum! And use the blue coolant since it’s oem bmw!
@@ryancsl thanks a lot 🙏🏽
you can just use distilled water in a tropical country
You cant use destiled water since it has no corrosion agents inside. You need at least 1/3 coolant 2/3 destiled water mix if in tropical climate.
Never had a cooling issue. Orginal system,just came off the hottest summer on record. Then again I know how to treat a car,not beat it then call it junk when it hreaks
wow, legend
So after flushing out the old coolant, did you add only 1 gallon of new coolant? and did you add distilled water too?
You have to premix according to the Instructions on your coolant, whichever one you add first doesn’t matter as long as the resulting mixture is according to spec.
Did you premix the coolant at all? i hope you did.
Mixed it in the engine. Filled up with coolant then let it run and filled the rest with water. Ended up being perfect 50/50
Bro, I dont get one thing. After you saw the water is clear in your bowl, you just used a clean 100% concentrate coolant ? How much did you use? How much is the water still inside since you drained it before you used 100% concentrate coolant ? How can we know its 50-50?
Good question
He said in the beginning that the coolant was premixed
Hey I know this video is old but I did a coolant change and the car only took 1 gallon and a half of coolant should I flush the system again to be sure I didn’t make a mistake?
Wont hurt to flush again 👍🏻
how many coolant bottles u put it inside?
Mix one part coolant and one part distilled water. The amount varies since this method doesn’t involve unbolted the block drain which holds a significant amount of coolant. The idea of this method to use dilution to get all new coolant inside.
how much gallons do you need after you refill it with coolant ? any one knows
This process was a flush so we had excess and just stopped when it looked clean enough.
Looks like the Climate Control unit needs the .47uF 50V capacitor resoldered (or just change it out for the 60 cents that it costs). 99% of the time, that will fix the problem with it. :-)
True. I've done that and my climate control unit is okay and blower is now working.

Just Water will Clean nothing out there is extra Coolant System Cleaner in every car part store😂

why didnt you just drain the block, theres a drain plug in the side of the block for this reason , and the coolant should be 50/50 coolant/water not neat
Hey! Thanks for the advice! This method specifically avoids using the block drain to encourage doing flushes more often. The coolant split is also completely dependent on the product your using!
what wheels ?
They are stock wheels called “m-contours”
I didn’t see him mixing with distilled water. Watch out 😮
Pretty sure BMW blue is premixed
I mixed it 👍🏻
Wish you wouldve removed the block plug
Usually creates a HUGE mess. This is a method that avoids it by flushing.
@@ryancsl that true.. there isn't too many videos on removing the block plug

millennials and their obsession with gloves
Our hands are with us untill death ! Might as well take care of them !
@@ryancsl whatever you need to tell yourself works for me.
common sense really not to handle toxic crap and makes in easier to work, but not nearly so rough and tough though eh?
btw I am at the far end of boomer-ism and being willing to learn, and adapt wear gloves
🤣🤣🤣, Oooohh yes!.
Had brake fluid leak into my hand and now my skin is peeling off like crazy along with it getting wrinkly when i wash my hands for a few seconds
