    Nice diag. 👍 I appreciate your attention to detail and patience to verify it. Conclusive evidence is a reward in itself.

      Thank you. Honestly I have squandered a ton of money over the decades. A little extra time on verification is far more economical than speculation. Even “educated” guesses are still guesses. Thx for watching 🍻

    Nice find. Way way better than a head gasket!!

    As a fellow sx4 owner in Ontario, I consider this channel to be my crystal ball into the future. I've been doing pretty much every repair you've shared on this channel... Now I know where to look first if I start losing coolant, hahah.

      Yep. I have the SX4’s elder sister the Aerio. Many similarities. Evap and fuel system has been a perennial headache for me.

      Yeah might work. Think I’ll just replace it. I don’t like anything leaking on my purdy driveway 😁

    Radiator cap is 16 lbs. it may not leak with 0.9

    Hello. Excellent video. This is exactly what is happening to me on my SX4 1.6, but my leak is in the upper radiator tank, I discovered it a couple of days ago. One question, can I put a radiator sealant (Liquimoly, Prestone, etc.) until I can buy a new radiator? And another question, where can I get the SX4 service manual? Thank you so much. Greetings from Chile.

      I have never had any luck with cooling system sealers, I haven’t used them in many years. There is a video on the radiator replacement on the channel if you are interested.
      Repairmanualnow.com for a PDF download. About $30 USD. Thx for watching 🍀🍻
