Getting ready to do this job. Discovered leaks seeping top and bottom of radiator all around the seals. At 200,000 miles and going on 2nd radiator I can't complain though. My Yaris has been pushed pretty hard. I'll change all the coolant hoses, radiator cap and thermostat while I'm there. Job does not look bad. I'll just take my time. Thanks for video.
@@SlowCarRepairs Just finished the job. Radiator was easy, but removing hoses was a wrestling match. And the hose clamps are no fun at all. After hooking everything back together, no leaks and no codes. Thanks for your instructional video!
If you don’t have a bleeder kit, you can run the car with the cap off until the car reaches operating temp/fan cycle 2 or more times and the air bubbles stop coming up
Squeezing the lower and top radiator hose will help bleed the system along with what he said. Just be careful of the fan and drive belt. You'll know its bled when both hoses are hot to touch and hot air is coming out of your vents. The system will likely self bleed as you drive for a few days, so make sure you top off your coolant if needed.

Yea the hoses are a tiff one but it’s doable, super glad you were able to get the job done with the help of this video
How you blend the sistem
I bought the radiator bleeder kit from harbor freight and bled the system. Works perfectly.
