Thank you. I do my best to try to show what I am doing in my videos. It is a lot of extra work, but comments like your let me know that people appreciate the effort.
Thanks for your clear video. My 2002 Elantra has a Small top plastic tank leak. Watching your video shows me it's rather straight forward to do. I'm pretty good at being mechanically inclined and have done numerous jobs on my Elantra and previous cars in the past. My only issue is lack of patience and easy frustration if things don't go right. My now late father was totally mechanically inclined and could do just about anything. He would coach me to keep my cool and not get too frustrated if things don't go right. I miss him....😢 That said a few months ago I replaced my valve cover and gasket which went prettywell. This radiator job you show well here is not much more difficult to do if one just keeps one's head clear, pays a little bit of attention and not rush things... I appreciate your clear video and feel that I can do my own radiator myself. My Elantra is a manual so I won't have to do those transmission cooler lines as such one less thing to do.😄 I will watch your video again before I do my own radiator install..... Thanks again.😎👍
I am glad my video was helpful. Yes, staying cool is key to getting things done. I fully understand the frustration that working on mechanical things can lead to. If I get frustrated and feel my blood start to get hot, I walk away, go get a cold drink, maybe watch a show or something, and then come back when I am calmer. Best of luck to you.
This was the best tutorial I’ve found. Very well explained. And I could take notes that I could follow. Thank you! Also, for everyone else, we saw the top radiator hose replaced. But don’t forget to replace the lower one, and the 2 small hoses on the bottom.
@@m80thewolf86 I completed this 6 months as well as a thermostat replacement Heads up: for anyone also doing an thermostat replacement, make sure to direct the antifreeze away from the transmission. Or else it can pool around there
@@jaylensmith6308 Good to hear, brother. It's nice to see more and more people picking up tools instead of a marked up bill by some of the "mechanics", out there.
@@m80thewolf86 mechanic estimated $495 repair for replacing the radiator. I payed for all supplies under $100. Took about 2 days to replace due to rain, but it was no problem after except did the coolant reservoir hose leaking fluid. But I got a screw bracket thing over it and it hasn’t leaked since then
@@thejungleexplorer I do have a question though. But first I would like to say, I dont want to change my head gasket. When I removed one of the smaller lower hoses, I had some oil that came out as well. Should I be concerned? When I drained the radiator there was no oil in there, or in the pan. Not until I removed the one small hose at the bottom.
@@slowandcurious9455 Well, It is hard to tell without being there, but you are sure that it was motor oil and not stop-leak or some other oil-like substance, then it can only mean that you have a gasket leaking somewhere. Now, it may be really small and it may only leak when under pressure, but if there is oil in your radiator fluid, you will have to do something eventually. I ran Chevy venture van for several months that was getting a little oil in the radiator fluid, but it just got worse and I did have to change out the head gaskets eventually. And you do not even want to know how hard that job was on a Venture. LOL! I hope it all works out well for you.
There was definitely an oily substance that came out from the bottom line of radiator. Does that mean I may have a cracked block? Car did over heat but I was able to pull it off the road before it red lined.
I hv a Hyundai Elantra 2006 IV6 (automatic)model .. now a days my car gonna heat up early nd there also leakage in radiator also so can u plz help me to find a good radiator from online website . Becz i dont know many more about cars .. so plz give me any link of radiator which is properly used in mycar
OMG!!! You didn't get the air out of the system!!! You're going to ruin people's motors, heater cores, water pumps and another radiator without "burping" the air out of the cooling system! If an air pocket hits the water pump, WHICH IT MOST CERTAINLY WILL, it's game over. Boom! Overheating car- blown head gasket, pressure cracking the heater core ($1,500+ repair), seized water pump... I mean the list goes on and on!
Just advisory when you try to fix something what ever it is you have to remove the battery terminal ( negative side) for safety. And lessening the music audio will much better when making a vlog, thanks.
I have never paid anyone to do this, so I have no idea. Mechanic charge by the hour, plus parts. I think a good mechanic could do this in under two hours, so I would estimate around $250 to $300 to do it.
A good mechanic would charge $100-$150 for this type of vehicle (labor cost only). I usually order a good radiator online which costs around $100-150 for my xg350
Why the hell is there music in this video? It's an educational video and attention needs to be paid to what is done and said. The music is distracting and pointless.
Sorry. UA-cam videos are not made for individuals. Not everyone is a music hater. I am sure there are other videos that do not have music that are more to your liking. That is the great thing about UA-cam, if don't like a video, there are plenty .ore to choose from.
@@thejungleexplorer I get that. I love music. I have a replica of Jimi Hendrix's autograph tattooed on my back. Bach is my favorite classical composer. I love the Beatles. But if I wanted to listen to music I would go to a music channel. I would never think, "Well, I feel like listening to music so I better put on a UA-cam video on how to replace a radiator in a Hyundai." It's just distracting for something that requires attention and adds nothing. A video describing the steps on how to replace a radiator is not the time to be busting out dueling banjos. It's nothing personal, it's just that it doesn't make sense.
@@beachlife4704 I understand what you are saying, but there are literally millions of instructional videos set to music. I am just not sure why it bothers you so much. At least to the point that you need to make an issue out if it. I get it, it is not your thing, but I just hope you are rational enough to admit that it is not an uncommon or abnormal thing to do, even though you personally do not care for it. If it bothers you that much, just mute the audio. It is a one click solution. That is a much simpler solution than me remaking the video just for you, don't you agree?
@@thejungleexplorer I am not asking you to redo the video. Just maybe next time take the music out as it adds nothing or keep it to a minimum. It's about as loud as your voice. Yes, there are millions of instructional videos with music. Most keep the music down so people don't have a hard time trying to hear what is being said. The ones that don't get torn apart in the comments section. Why it bothers me is I get more and more frustrated trying to find good educational videos which this one is, but the perfection is ruined with needless music. I just don't understand the need for music in this video. It literally adds nothing of importance. What's important is what is being said and shown.

Helpful, i really enjoyed the video, well articulated.
Thank you. I am happy to hear the video was helpfull.
The tutorial was very informative! Thank you, I have a vehicle that matches and all was easy!!
You're welcome. I am glad the video was helpful.
Excellent video. It help me replace the radiator in my 2006 Elantra.
Thank you, this really helped. I have an xg350, but this is very similar and this video will be a valuable reference when I change mine.
You're awesome for doing this video it helped me and I hope it helps others thank you so much thumbs up
You are welcome. So glad it helped you out.
thank u pop and good job camera man lol
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
What size were the bolts for the condenser brackets? Also the length.
Sorry, I do not know the answer to this question.
@@thejungleexplorer it's ok. Another UA-camrbwas able to answer that it's a 10 mm. Thank you for replying
Glad to hear you found some help. Have a great day.
Ty for the video and your time.. This helps😎👍
My pleasure! Glad it helped.
This looks fairly easy to do for someone like me who is non-experienced in car repairs. I might just try this
It is very easy. The hardest part is getting yourself to get it started. Just make sure you have the tools you need, and plenty of time, just in case.

Thanks.
Nice video buddy
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing ... can u plz tell List of tools used to complete this process ?
If you will look in the description area under the video there is a list of the tools I used.
Hey man thanks. I just changed my 06 eleantra radiator thanks to you
My pleasure. Glad I could help.

I do have a question though. But first I would like to say,

@@thejungleexplorer
Hey what about a video on changing the belts on this car 🤪🤷🏻♂️🤔
Will this be similar for a 2014 Elantra?
I doubt it
It will be similar, but now exactly the same
After removing the two small hoses at the bottom(the ones that you had a hard time with) oily residue came out! That’s bad, right?
It means that most of your fluid leaked out.
@@katrinat9374 those were to the transmission for cooling
ty for the video! really appreciate it
My pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it.
The link of radiator u have given in the description is this radiator of Hyundai elantra V6
This is the one I ordered for my 2004 Elantra and it fit perfectly.
Or is it transmission fluid?
There is no transmission fluid in you engine cooling system.
There was definitely an oily substance that came out from the bottom line of radiator. Does that mean I may have a cracked block? Car did over heat but I was able to pull it off the road before it red lined.
Oil in your radiator is probably a head gasket leak. Should be repairable.

It's been over a year and a half and it is still running like a top.
@@thejungleexplorer You missed a bullet.
make sure you bleed the air out of the system after to add your new fluid.

How many bottles of coolant you bought
