    you don`t have to jack the car up on these 4 cylinders. Reach your hand down past the radiator hands. a level car lets more fluid to fall out of the engine. I recommend doing the while the engine is hot because the thermostat is open if you want to take the thermostat out you'll get even more fluid out from there. BTW the design on the petcock will shoot the fluid down into your pan so you wont get burned. just wait until the fluid stops flowing to open your radiator cap.

    The bleeder valve in the back of engine must be opened before coolant is added so air in engine block can get out. When there is a steady stream of coolant comes out through the bleeder valve without air, close the valve. If you don’t do this step, your engine will be over heated with AC on....I learned it the hard way....good luck.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  4 роки тому +1

      Great tip but some engines don't have the air bleed hole. In fact when I worked at Honda that the techs NEVER opened up the air bleed screw even if the car had one. They simply kept filling the rad and revving the engine up to purge the system of air. Each car is slightly different but fortunately the Honda's have historically been very easy to service the coolant without too many issues of air lock in the system. The older accords and civics had a air bleed screw towards to the top of the upper rad hose where it enters the cylinder head but subsequent revisions of their engine parts actually deleted the bleeder valve as it was deemed unnecessary by Honda engineers.

      Glad you liked my video! Generally speaking if a radiator/cooling system is routinely maintained and you're using distilled or deionized water or pre-mixed coolant that there is little need need to actually "flush" coolant out of a system. For badly corroded or contaminated systems I would agree with your statement but that would be a completely different video that I would make highlighting the importance of flushing out all the junk in a dirty system.

      there is probably a lot of air in the system. Try filling it, putting the cap on the rad, starting it and letting it run for a minute or two and then shut off engine and open cap to fill some more. Do you know if you have any head gasket issues?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 років тому +4

      you're correct on that one however, our engines in Canada are equipped with block heaters and they're behind the exhaust manifold in a weird spot that makes it very hard to access. Given there is roughly about 1 liter of coolant in the block and how frequently I change the coolant on cars (I change before the actual manufacturer's specified interval that chances are I'm more than making up for the loss of anti wear and corrosion agents in the old coolant. It is somewhat like an automatic transmission oil change. You can't quite get it all out but as long as the system is clean that you're diluting the old coolant with the new making up for any losses in anti wear agents. The key is to service regularly.

    I had put in a ac line about two weeks ago on my accord and gave it a recharge on freon, about a week later me and my lady were taking it to get smogged and the car ended up overheating and when we finally pulled over the overflow tank had water coming out of it like when you take the cap off the radiator. but we had no choice but to fill it with water (while on) and left the ac off to at least reach home. we ended up taking it the day after to get smogged and it passed. I then ended up finding out the condenser fan was out so I replaced it.( live in temperatures 100+) now today I ran a few arons with the ac on and went to work, on my way home I realized my engine light was back on after changing a sensor, timing belt, and a alternator to remove it for smogg. I'm highly concerned for my engine and at this point thinking of a complete engine oil and coolant flush after watching this. I just don't understand why my light is back on but I know it's not good.

    HI,
    Thank you for sharing this video. I got a few questions for you. Hopefully you don't mind your sharing your knowledge. A little over a month ago I had my 2002 Honda Accord V4 old engine block changed out. The car runs smooth and more powerful and responsive than my old 230,000 mile engine. I used to get around 30 mpg with my old engine. However, now I only got about 20 mpg with this newer engine. Everything seems to be fine and there is no engine check light. Is there any reason why the mpg dropped so much? I am going to change out a set of OEM spark plugs, flush the coolant with Honda coolant and flush the transmission fluid with Honda fluid as well. Please help me. Thanks.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  8 років тому +2

      John there are a multitude of reasons why your economy might not be as good. You're on the right track that you should do the key things like plugs, fluids and such but you should also consider cleaning the throttle body (I have a vid on that for Civic that would be basically the same for the accord so go watch that), make sure your ignition timing is spot on, check your tires are properly inflated and reset the ECU and do a ECU relearn procedure. Other things to check is your thermostat function (does the car heat up to temperature properly in a reasonable time frame?). Lastly consider replacing both 02 sensors. The new engine likely had the old O2 sensor on it and they DO wear out and get less responsive with age. Some wear out faster than others but putting in a new NGK (must be NGK) one will result in accurate emissions measurement which will help with fuel economy. I recently did a o2 sensor replacement on a car that wasn't throwing any codes and the MPG increased by over 15% consistently tank after tank. Suffice to say the owner of the car was pleased that his $200 sensor replacement paid itself off in just 2 months of fuel savings.

    I always change my coolant like this but I recently learned about the purging port above the thermostat housing. Haven't found a video on how to use that port, does it make a difference?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  3 роки тому

      Not all accords or Honda have that port hence why I didn't demonstrate that purging port and how to use it. I figured that my method shown here is universal to all cars. That being said, let me explain how that port works. You crack that little nipple open prior to filling the cooling system. You start to fill the cooling system until you it starts to get full land coolant start to come out of either radiator filler neck or you see coolant bubbling out of the purge port. You start the car, run the heater on full hot (it opens up the valve to the heater core). Continue to fill the coolant until there are no more bubbles are coming from the purge nipple. Close nipple, top off rad, fill overflow reservoir. Reinstall rad cap and run engine until thermostat opens and cooling fan runs at least 2 cycles (increase idle rpms if you need to while watching to ensure car doesn't overheat. When cooling fans have come on at least 2x CAREFULLY crack the nipple open slightly (put a rag on top of the nipple or wear safety goggles) to let out any remaining air in the system - careful coolant and steam will be very hot. Close and you're finished! The nipple is supposed to be the highest point in the cooling system and anytime there is air in the cooling system that coolant won't circulate efficiently in the fluid circuit. The idea behind the nipple is that it allows the air to buildup at the highest point in the motor where you can release it. This is why I jacked up the car to do the coolant change, not because I need better access but instead I want to make the radiator filler neck the highest point in the cooling system so that air comes out of the filler neck instead so I can avoid making a mess of coolant dribbling all over the engine bay. Same idea but just different technique.

  • @moisestheentrepreneur637

    Idk if anyone told you but, you gotta leave the radiator cap open & wait till the thermostat opens & the you will be able to put my fluid in.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 років тому

      The thermostat doesn't always open when the system isn't under pressure lacks the ability to heat up properly in a timely manner. At least for Honda's the filling of the system is generally quite consistent with the thermostat opened or closed b/c there are "bleed passageways" and even a tiny coolant bypass built into the system that allows completely filling of the system if it is done in accordance to how i showed it in my video.

      yes you can do that too BUT not every car has it. I have encountered some accords with bleeder screws and some without.

By showing it this way then whether you have a bleeder or not will still yield a properly bled system.

    -- first related question is Where should the Temp Gauge needle sit? --- when i took my 99 Accord to get new radiator hose replaced the temp gauge was about 1/4 up --- after new hose was put on the temp gauge needle sits just below half way point ... why would that change happen? --- does that mean there is air in the system --- i was asked if my tech bled the system and i dont remember if he did --- i was there in the shop watching him change the hose but dont remember if he bled system ... im concerned about the temp gauge being right under half way point ?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 років тому +1

      Sorry for the super late reply. Been insanely busy with work. Temp gauge should be just slightly below the halfway mark. Temp gauge at the 1/4 mark before a hose replacement? I can't explain why but the proper temp should be just slightly under half. If he didn't bleed the system that eventually the car would bleed itself. Just make sure you have sufficient coolant in the overflow reservoir so that any air that is pushed out of the system will be filled back with coolant when the engine cools.

    • @jcorral2
      @jcorral2 6 років тому

      piercedasian with regards to my Accord it does sit just below the halfway mark... But it was my CRX that always seem to be at the 1/4 maybe just above 1/4 and 1/2 so that's why I was confused but thanks again

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 років тому +1

      you have a CRX????! So do I! I was going to do a walk around video of "blast from the past". The Accord's temps are proper and it is the CRX that is having the issues. Ironically my CRX had the same problem as yours too where it wasn't heating up to operating temps and when it did that the moment you flipped the heater on that the temp would drop to near nothing. Thermostat replacement is in order (I just did the vid for it) and your CRX will then be just under the halfway mark like where it should be. What year is your CRX? Mine is a Canadian edition 1990 Si that is factory fresh still.

    • @jcorral2
      @jcorral2 6 років тому

      piercedasian ... hey what's up... My 1990 CRX is also from Canada... Bought it here in Dallas... By the way you mentioned that your CRX had overheating issues like mine, but mine never had overheating issues... whether or not I turned the heater on the temperature gauge was at the level further below the center than my Honda Accord and above the 1/4 level that's how it was since I first bought it and it pretty much never changed and never had issues whether the AC on or heater on... Again my Accord temperature needle is just below the center Mark but my CRX was maybe five notches below that as i said between 1/4 and a 1/2 marker and never had issues regarding that ... I just noticed it recently as I was comparing the mark to the Accord.
      ... by the way where are you located and do you have any pictures of your CRX?

    @Gummy1991 6 років тому +1

    should i use this exact type of coolant vs the Peak brand coolants? I am confused about which coolant my Honda Accord EX 2000 needs. Also when you are refilling the reservoir, is it suppose to go up to MAX line? or the MIN line?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 років тому

      I prefer always using factory fluids where possible to minimize any potential for incompatibility. That being said, using PEAK branded coolant is fine as long as it is meant for asian vehicles or is "universal". For the first fill after a coolant change I like to fill to the MAX line so that if there is any air in the coolant circuit that it is replaced by the coolant in the reserve tank. Worst case is that it overflows a little. Better be too full than too low for coolant.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  7 років тому

      nope only the petcock. in Canada all our cars have block heaters in place of the block plug which makes removal to drain the block no so easy (b/c the heater protrudes out enough to make it hard to remove. Usually coolant drain and fills are more than sufficient if you're on top of maintenance.

  • @davexnet

    Hi - does this bleed procedure depend on the front of the car being raised to be successful ?

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  5 років тому

      No not at all. Having it raised slightly just makes bleeding the system marginally quicker. Many shops have level floors and they do successfully do coolant changes all the time without issues. If you have flat ground just spend more time squeezing that upper hose to get the air bubbles all out. If you have a bleeder valve on your thermostat housing you can always crack that open to get faster results too but it can be a little messier doing it that way and spilled coolant is bad for the environment.

      you likely have a defective radiator temperature fan switch. The rad fan switch is typically located in the radiator. Don't forget to also check or replace your rad cap with a known good cap since caps do fail to hold pressure as they age.

    • @piercedasian
      @piercedasian  6 років тому +2

      It likely is fine. Almost all car makers now require coolants to be made with zero borates which is what wears out modern water pumps. I believe most coolants are also formulated using OATs and are "mostly universal". The only exception to this is GMs DexCool. GM coolant has compatibility issues but you're clearly not using it on a GM so I doubt you'll have problems.

      not true at all... all the modern honda's including the revised part for the accord (should you ever in a weird situation need to replace that head to hose joint) doesn't come with the bleeder valve. The bleeder valve just helps the bleeding process faster but isn't necessary to do the coolant change correctly. In fact the method I showed will ensure that those that do and don't have the bleeder screw all do it the same way.

      I just changed the lower hose. Once you remove the screw clamp on the top part of the lower hose, you should remove a few items to make it easier to install. I removed the clamp on the top hose and disconnected it from the radiator (right next to the radiator cap). I also took out the 2 screws and unplugged the electrical connection and removed the fan in the plastic housing. This allowed me to access the lower hose's screw clamp.

  • @Al_Swilling
    @Al_Swilling 3 роки тому

    I don't know why, but on my mother's Honda Accord (she's had it since it was new), where the petcock valve should be, there is instead a short piece of what looks to be maybe a 1/2" i.d. rubber hose with a hose clamp on it. The hose does not attach to any other fitting or hose. It's just a short piece of hose about 2 inches long, slid onto either a nipple or maybe covering the petcock valve. I've never seen anything like it before. Since it's hard to get to, I haven't yet removed the piece of hose to see if it's covering a petcock valve, or why the hose is even there. The way the hose clamp is positioned, it will be hard to get a screwdriver or nut driver in there to loosen the clamp.
    Has anyone else encountered this situation, or am I the only one?
