I just saw a video that says you should install a line from the bleeder to a funnel back to the radiator. Update: I just did this job again and I didn’t bleed it and I just let the bubbles come out of the radiator.
Yea this video is not how you properly bleed the system if you do it this way your going to have major air pockets, which reduces proper coolant flow, creates air blockage and reduces heat transfer and creates improper engine cooling...there is a specific procedure for a reason
@@ZacharyScreeton I know what you’re saying is the right way. I did it another way and I checked it 6 times. I’m not having one problem. I’m a perfectionist. Always strive for perfection. Stay with what you like. 👍
Thank you so much you explained way better than all the others videos I watched on RUclips! I think I got now 🤔 awesome 👏 video great job I subscribed 👍😎🤘
If not mistaken, look for a similar stand up nipple around the upper manifold. Remove plastic cover. Same process as the sienna to bleeding the system. Let me know. Good luck.
That is not the "proper" way by any means. That bleeder valve has a nipple on it for a reason...they make a funnel that locks on to the radiator cap, a hose attaches to the bleeder nipple and runs to the funnel. You open bleeder, You fill the radiator and a bit of the funnel. Let engine run with heaters off at 2-2200rpm, level will raise in the funnel as air and coolant flow from bleeder hose to the funnel. Coolant level will raise quite a bit in funnel, it takes a while to get "all" the air out of these systems, once the air finally gets purged feom the heater core and rest of system toull get a steady stream from hose and your radiator will start taking in the rest of the coolant, you close the bleeder, wait for the air bubbles to subside, plug and remove funnel, replace cap and the system is completely purged of air pockets....it takes a bit lol, not as simple as opening the bleeder im afraid on this one, if you do it this way you most certainly have alot of air in the system.
This gentleman is correct about this not being the correct way to fill and bleed the air out of the system. There are other videos that show the proper way to do this.
Not to harp on this but you do not just let it spray all over your engine bay and into electronics. The no spill funnels are the way to go. You never walk away and let your coolant level reach empty . That is probably why the gentleman w/ Lexus above in comments now has a warped head gasket.
Thanks for the info on a side note it looks like your brake fluid needs to be changed it’s really dark in color Toyota recommended a it every 24 months
Thank you, a question for you, I did the drain and fill on my 2007 Lexus RX350. The heat works fine and it doesn't overheat but I noticed the level in the reservoir going down after a few months. Could it be due to not bleeding the system?
@@brandonblack2095 I got the cap and will plan on doing that today. I will bleed the system and change the cap. Hopefully that fixes it since I don’t see any leaks.
I did it exactly like that but my heater isn’t working Halp! The needle is good and stable always slightly under the middle but no hot air. I accidentally took out the condenser line. Could that be it?
Its that line you accidentally took out(condenser line) or you need to unclog/ clean up the in and out hoses. They sell a solution at an auto store. But first you should disconnect the in and out lines that go into the vehicles dry wall. And flush them out with water. If no water runs out from either in or out then they are clogged and you should use a solution to try and unclog the lines.
Thanks for your instructive video!!! You can’t find this information on the internet!
No problem!!!

Well i didnt do that and it came out perfectly fine 👌 but it wouldn’t hurt to try that too.
less mess and you save coolant.
And that too!

Best explanation👍👍👍
Thank you very Much for the Positive feed back! I’m glad it was explained well. God Bless!!!
Thank you very much, great video very helpful, like you said it work, keep it up!
Glad it helped you out friend !!!!

Hey.. i appreciate your comments and also thank you for subscribing.. God bless you!!
Thanks for the help
Any time!
Good very good help tank you brother
You are most welcome!
Where is the Bleeder Valve in Toyota Camry 2001 2.2 Litter engine ?
If not mistaken, look for a similar stand up nipple around the upper manifold. Remove plastic cover. Same process as the sienna to bleeding the system. Let me know. Good luck.
If anyone is wondering, I used a single 3" extension... You don't need a tower of extensions lol
Thats funny lol🤣👍

No problemo Bro!
Thanks for the info on a side note it looks like your brake fluid needs to be changed it’s really dark in color Toyota recommended a it every 24 months
Thanks. I no longer have that awesome van! But thanks for looking out!!!
@@TheEtixzShow what year was that van?
2007
thats not brake fluid its the power steering/transmission.
Thanks!!!
No problem
Thank you, a question for you, I did the drain and fill on my 2007 Lexus RX350. The heat works fine and it doesn't overheat but I noticed the level in the reservoir going down after a few months. Could it be due to not bleeding the system?
Thats perfectly normal. Mine does the same. Just fill to FULL line.
Also, sometimes it spits it back out from reservoir / cap/ small tube. Thats normal
@@TheEtixzShow Thank you, will do that.
change your radiator cap it suppose to withstand 15 psi pressure but if its old and worn out it won't hold pressure in
@@brandonblack2095 I got the cap and will plan on doing that today. I will bleed the system and change the cap. Hopefully that fixes it since I don’t see any leaks.
Does the reservoir cap need to be off or on?
Leave it on
@@TheEtixzShow there was no coolant coming out from the bleeder valve only air and a lot of white steam. Any ideas?
It was idling for about 45 minutes
You need to add coolant
How do you know this is needed
Good Question. The engine was over heating, due to the fact that i had just replaced a hose. After proper bleeding the system. Everything is OK.
If I don’t bleed the will my car overheat
Yes, it will over heat if you don’t bleed the system correctly!
Is that a 2004!
Its a 2007 but it should work for yours too.
Thx was big help exelente
You are very muncho Welcome!!!
It’s just a overflow tank don’t matter if it full on 2011 anyway
Ok👍
Y como se hace en la v6 3.3
Es lo mismo. Nomas de buscar el nipple.

Very scientific!☹
I agree!
I did it exactly like that but my heater isn’t working Halp! The needle is good and stable always slightly under the middle but no hot air. I accidentally took out the condenser line. Could that be it?
Does the Fan work? Is it blowing air?
@@TheEtixzShow sorry for the late response it is blowing air just not hot air. Thanks for the reply. Sub

@@TheEtixzShow thank you! That pretty much did the job I didn’t flush it correctly. I truly appreciate it specially in this cold ass weather!
