I'm planning to change the radiator on my 156 2.5 v6. Has anybody done it or have some pointers for me? Should be the same process, no? Also: when flushing the system the first couple times with water, do you leave it running with the reservoir cap open? Do you wait for it to cool down before releasing the lower hose during the flush? I'm asking because I'm worrying about the thermostat closing and trapping a bunch of water in the system.
Yeah same process really, all the cars of that era are very similar. Leave the cap open and don't let the car heat up too much. Do it a few times is fine, you'll never get all of it out on the first time but if you do it a few times it'll get most of it out
@@LueysGarage hi just now I check on the car and I’m going to use the method that I don’t need to take the bumper off but I have a problem is I can’t get the front lower grill off and that cause I could not get the bottom two bolt do you know how? Thank you and appreciated 🙏🙏
@@mercyue9337 not sure sorry, I suggest you just take the bumper off, it's actually not hard and you can check all the other fasteners and fittings at the same time. You might find other issues you should resolve at the same time
Its just pink OAT coolant from our local auto store. I've seen most people use this in the GTA and I've been using it for 2 years without any issues. I believe the OEM fluid is paraflu but its impossible to find here
@@javierpaz6435 I compared the actual specification and chemicals for Paraflu 11 equivalent product and pink OAT and its actually almost exactly the same so I'm happy with using what I am using
NICE VIC PLATES LOCKDOWN PROJECT TIME !yo i just got a alfa 156 q system 2005 v6 replacing radiator to and power steering this was helpful . except the wires are confusing me on where they wore befor i removed the rad , JUST ABOUT TO TEST THE STEERING
Ops sorry for slow reply, I don't use a mic and I just use my Samsung S8+ for my camera mainly. I have a proper SLR with really awesome video but I find it just takes too much time and effort to get it setup.
Excellent video again☺
Thanks! Hope it helps someone :)

Hello Luey, where did you buy the radiator because my 147 gta just leaked the radiator and I can't find it.
I bought mine from Alfaworkshop it was just a standard Nissen one
Hi great vid, and I want to know is alfa 156 2.0 the same process with 147 GTA? Will they have different bolt?
I believe its basically the same process, the hoses might be slightly different but everything else should be roughly the same
@@LueysGarage ok thank you so much for helping

What type of coolant did you use, the original gta is blue 50% , but you used pink? Pink is better?

Yes, OEM it's paraflu 11 (blue)
