My car was using coolant on long trips, and there was bubbles on the radiator, I didn’t have the money to change the head gasket rn soo I just found out about these sealer’s and bought the K seal, drained and clean the whole system put new coolant on it and the k seal, let it idle for 30 minutes, then let it cool for 3 hours, again idle for 30 minutes and cool for the rest of the night, about 10 hours, there’s no bubbles, doesn’t smell like coolant getting burned and doesn’t smell like gasoline on the reservoir.
Wouldn't use it for a permanent head gasket repair depending on how bad it is and where ist blown, but for heater matrix and small leaks this is the best product on the market hands down..
Doesn't seem to handle bad headgasket leaks as I discovered. May handle smaller ones. Another trick I've heard of on some cars is re-torquing the head bolts, which can sometimes work. The Subarus have a very bad issue, as the original Subaru gaskets on some older models have a coating that fails and flakes away over time leading to leaks, best thing to to is replace it with a good quality gasket like Mahle or Felpro which have better coatings that don't do this. Subaru's have 2 headgaskets on the engine which really raises failure possibility unfortunately, that is one down-side of the horizontally opposed engine.
yeah went out an hour ago and bought it. my biggest problem is with smoke, in take off and reverse. when driving no issue what I can see, so hope it makes a difference. mech wants to change oil separator which is a common fault with this car. but will see how things go next couple days , also heavy oil consumption.
Worked for me. It contains ceramic microfibres, tiny copper particles and resins. It doesn't contain sodium-silicate which I preferred as I want to re-use the engine when it comes out if possible and didn't want silica glass all over it. I treat them like a temporary measure, although I once had a car repaired the same way using a sodium-silicate copper mix (on a mechanic's recommendation mind you). It may buy you a few weeks or years, but ultimately the gasket / heads will need to be pulled and repaired for longevity. If it's a small leak, and you get it early, you can often fix it with this, get it too late and the warpage / leaks are too extreme then there is no choice and the heads must come off and gasket replaced. As the gasket failed I'lll replace the oil/filter, and 2000 km later dump the coolant, and replace it, once the product has done what it can to fix any leaks.
Really work i tried it and saved me 1000us ...i drove my car from the mechanic shop to my home it like 20 minutes away it ran really good no smoke ran smooth....this stuff good blue devil got competition....
Follow up to this. Tried it, it lasted maybe a week then the failure mode with the headgasket returned unfortunately, ended up using Bars Leaks Stop-leak for headgaskets and that seemed to fix it. Best to pre-dilute and follow the instructions exactly otherwise.
Hi mate. yes It has made a massive improvement and also the car just feels better to drive overall. I've also noticed that the car does not leak water or coolant underneath anymore when I topped up to max the next day. so probably won't be burning through oil as much because it should all be regulating over the next few weeks. In regards to smoke. I have just done a 90 mile drive to really seal it in on day 2. I can honestly say the smoke is so much better with the stop start 1st gear and reversing but not 100% clear yet. also no lights have come up on my dash which I guess indicates a seal. I think the far less smoke I'm still experiencing is due to build up of old stuff making its way out. I'm gonna do another review in a few days or so for a true conclusion but I'll definitely recommend this stuff in your case. Hope this helps. all the best!
+Rodney Brown No more lights have come up on my dash. After 9 weeks of driving and many miles. I haven't topped up oil or water once. still slightly smoky sometimes but seems to be residual. All in all its definitely worked!
You will never really fix a problem with this stuff - I race E46's in Spain and know these cars backwards. This will not work long term - about town at low revs for a few months perhaps but as soon as you really drive it, you will be back to square one. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Change the head gasket!!!
You have oil mixing with your coolant, which means that your leak may be too big to fix, or you should have changed the coolant and oil first before attempting the seal
@@phoenixwest602 thank you I did the k seal and it killed my water pump but fixed the head gasket as it literally just started going bad very surprised it worked
definitely worth trying mate. Just over 2 months of driving and 100's of miles I have not had to top up oil or water once. Still smokey sometimes but seems to be residual.
+Christopher Jones London yeah it works great. I had a coolant leak and now it's still going strong, I've done 2000km since and it hasn't lost a drop of coolant, Cheers mate
+Steve CVNT Niko great news, glad it's worked for you to!. do you have the same car as me. ? also did you follow the same procedure as me. ? any info will be good to help others. I'll be posting my second review soon. Cheers man!
+Christopher Jones London Yeah mine is a bmw e90. Yes I followed the instructions and TBH it took 2days until it sealed 100%. So on day 2.. I bleed the system again and it's been perfect. Not one drop of coolant has been lost. I'm shocked I've never used a addictive before and said I'll just try to see and it works. Summer is around the corner for me in Australia so lets see how it goes once the temperature hits 40+ lol
hi i have a broblem if anyone will help please i have a 316ti and my car rattles under the rocka cover nd all do clicking when pull eccelerate off nd i have loss of power on 1st gear nd 2nd gear please help me thanks
charlie c all good buddy! some other cars might have a more severe engine problem but you'll never know until you try this stuff. check the follow up video!
my situation was an old van. the cost of removing & resurfacing was over $3000. outweighed the value of the van. this helps just get it by a lil longer.
Omfg... If someone I know did this to their car... I would go and do a headgasket job for them free of charge... Absolute dumbass move to do this to "fix" a blown head or a headgasket... It is still going to pressurize the coolant system and eventually gonna crack your head. A headgasket job is so easy on those M40, M43, M42, N42, N43 engines. And also this dude has had his oil pressure light come on, so the oilpump must be tired now and has to be changed prematurely. Hope you don't sell this car without telling the new owner about this fix...
SOUNDS LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT , IVE JUST BOUGHT A 1 SERIES M SPORT AND NOTICED THE COOLANT IS LOW AND NOTICED ITS A WHITE MILKY COLOUR , I THINK THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT SOME SEALENT IN WITH THE COOLANT BECAUSE ITS GOT NO SIGNS OF HEAD GASKET FAULTS I.E NO SMOKE , NO WHITE ON OIL CAP , NO WHITE ON DIP STICK AND NO OVERHEATING E.T.C , IM HAVING A COOLANT RE FLUSH TOMMOROW , JUST WONDERED IF YOU HAVE GOT ANY ADVICE BEFORE I GO ?? , ANY ADVICE WOULD BE WELL APPRECIATED , ALSO A LONG SHOT BUT IM BASED IN SHEFFIELD , ARE YOU CLOSE ? , IF SO ARE YOU UP FOR A BIT OF WORK , HAVING A LOOK AND CHECKING OVER MY CAR , LIKE I SAY ITS A LONG SHOT , BUT ANY ADVICE ASAP WOULD BE GREAT BEFORE I TAKE IT FOR A COOLANT CHANGE TOMMOROW 12PM THANKS IN ADVANCE MAATU
@@lyndonkendrick5242 Sorry cant help you there mate, Im living in Finland. After you get the flush done, drive the car up to operating temp, after that park it, watch for any coolant leaks anywhere in the engine bay, or near the exhaust manifold (One of my M43s leaked coolant from a crack in the manifold.) Watch for the leaks for around 20 minutes, if the leak is somewhere near the manifold, it wont be leaking immediately from the hot engine. If no leaks visible, after 30-40 minutes check the coolant amount. Then if there is a coolant loss, its a leak or its burning coolant. If the coolant hasnt been lost, the white milky color on your oil cap is just condensation from not driving the car up to temp enough, so only been used in corner driving/short drives which dont allow the engine to get up to temp and causes condensation in the oil space. Nothing too dangerous, but i would take a habit of driving the car for around 45-60 minutes atleast once a week to not get condensation in the oilspace.
@@maatu_boe THANKS FOR YOUR QUICK REPLY MAATU , BUT I SAID THERES NO WHITE ON OIL CAP , ITS THE COOLANT THATS MILKY WHITE , IVE JUST BOUGHT THE CAR AND JUST NOTICED IT , I THOUGHT AT FIRST HEAD GASKET OR A CRACK OR OIL GETTING INTO THE COOLANT ?? , BUT A FRIEND SIAD IT MIGHT BE THE PREVIOUS OWNER PUT SEALENT IN THE COOLANT AS MY FRIEND PUT SOME IN HIS OLD CAR AND THE COOLANT TURNED MILKY WHITE AFTER , IM JUST HOPING ITS NOT HEAD GASKET OR SOMETHING ELSE BAD , IM GOING TO PUT A BIT OF COOLANT IN AS ITS V LOW AND GOOING TO TAKE IT FOR A COOLANT CHANGE IN AN HOUR AN HALF , HAVE YOU ANY THOUGHTS ON WHY MY COOLANT IS MILKY WHITE AS ITS NOT SHOWING SIGNS OF HEAD GASKET ??

@@lyndonkendrick5242 Smell the oil, and the exhaust fumes. If it smells sweet, its the gasket. Headgasket job is fairly easy to do yourself, if you can handle basic tools and have a space to do it.
Do not waste any time and money with this crap. E46 is easy to fix and cooling system issues are well known. You will do more damage than good was this stufff
Your lucky my mechanic would have told me I need a complete engine rebuild if I just had a bald tyre
😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
well my mechanic would have told me to bend over the bonnet & spread my cheeks so he could ride me again 🆙 the 💩pipe

Worked great on my water pump crack saved my xmas lol 04 yukon running great now
Definitely works and will seal small leak in radiator or radiator line.
It's works. Tried it for head gasket leak.
Was your car using coolant? If not the smoke you were seeing could have been the crank case ventilation valve. Common fault
Sounds like your engine has either a loose timing chain or sticky valve lifters.
Wouldn't use it for a permanent head gasket repair depending on how bad it is and
where ist blown, but for heater matrix and small leaks this is the best product on
the market hands down..

Do you know if it can be used with water only. I dont want to add coolant unless the leake is gone.

no working for head gasket. i tested today. and ofcourse i can use my car in winter time until the temp will be over 10-11 degrees.

Awesome news buddy! 👍
Has I held up?
just bought k seal and want to try do at my e46 m43 engine
done quick fix. so good k leaks. my radiator no longer loss any water.
Ariff Mohd Abdul Wahid am going to try it on my 330ci think the heads gone
@@martinmacpherson624 bro i got the same problem on my 04 330ci did this fix it?
My coolant reservoir is cracked can I put it in there
Though its an old video but I thought you need to add it with the coolant and not water only.
I have a leak near or on my expansion tank. It’s only 7 months old. This car has taken me through it. Would this liquid be ok for that?
It didn't work for me. 😢
Fixed the leak, killed my heater.
2017 was RIP for this car it looks like you done it over G am going to put this in my car to this week lets hope it works hahah
whatever happened to the car how long did it last for?
part 2?
How can you reveiw a product without testing the result? You've just literally shown us how to add this stuff but haven't shown us if it works
Check second video

Hi, any update on how long the seal was good for?
It work like a charm, I had to use 2 bottles thou

Is that the bar’s leaks you just dump in or have to flush coolant and do a bunch of that repeatedly?
@@mem1701movies You are meant to flush the coolant with some of these after adding and the leak stops. It's stated in the directions.
Can someone recommend a product for a head gasket that is leaking oil? I just don't have the $3k I was quoted for the repair. Thanks!
steel seal supposed to be good.
Didn't work for me was a small leak too
Look on him he got the Swiss pocket knife too. Gj bruv :)

For a while...
So im guessing it didnt work
