Nice job on your how to. About to tackle this task as well on my 09'. I'm a diesel and auto mechanic, so I possess all the tools you listed. Just a good side note, others that get through to the refilling of coolant, elevate the car at incline, use the air bleeder bolt to get rid of excess air in the system.
Thanks for watching
Great honest how too! I'm in the same predicament with my G6. Thanks!!!
You're welcome, thanks for the positive feedback, I'm glad to help.
Thanks a bunch friend!!!
You're welcome feel free to subscribe I appreciate your viewership
hahaha! we’re watching this at a shop! @his comment around 3:40
Lol... cool thanks for watching
What side is the drain plug on these?
If I remember right it's a driver side and if you watch the whole video I think I pointed it out
How do I put the fan looking pieces back on when I put the radiator in ? Sorry I’m only 16 learning all this on my own slowly
Well I know on mine the fan just slid into locking points on the radiator I'm not sure how it would go on yours but I imagine it would be the same and I'm pretty sure there's a video on UA-cam on how to install that fan you may have to do a little bit of research but it's pretty easy
I got it now I’m just struggling with getting the hood latch piece back on I made a mistake of forgetting how it went on and mixing up a few screws 😅
Feel free to subscribe to my channel if you like I got lots of other content on the Pontiac G6 in my Pontiac G6 playlist
Yeah you want to make sure you get that hood latch set in the exact spot that it was in because otherwise your hood will not open again
@@DIRTIGARAGEMODS thanks for that !!!
Brother you could have replaced the radiator without removing the bumper cover just pull headlights assemble out remove hood release send cover complete access after that
I'm pretty sure that I clarify that I'm not no professional mechanic that I'm just doing it to teach other people how I did it and that they may be able to find an easier way to do it but thank you for watching I seen your other comment have a good day
We just change the Leaky radiator popped in a new one and now the car is overheating. Any ideas?
Water pump or heater core, heater hoses is going to be the next things to check. And if that's not the issue then you may have a head gasket issue
Probably air in system. Bleed it
@@DIRTIGARAGEMODS how much you charge for this job cause am having mine replaced and I don't want this dude busting my balls with the price
You need to release the air bleeder valve with the car running and wait until coolant begins to come out which ensures all air has escaped system. 10mm bolt front left you just need to loosen it don’t remove.
Yeah that is an option on that car or any vehicle for that matter however what I did worked just fine for what I needed however I sold that car a year ago this week LOL but thank you for viewing my channel have a wonderful day
Does this video work on a 2.4l ?
It should a radiator is a radiator, no matter what size the engine is it still should come out the same way to
And it's got a new thermostat
@dirtigarage mod how much you charge for your job
I have a strict policy I do not work on other people's vehicles thanks for your viewership feel free to subscribe
Help me change my turbo
I truly do not know anything about the turbo on these cars mine did not have one and for that matter I sold the car that I had due to having to update my vehicle for my job but I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere good luck and thank you for watching
Holy smokes bud
Yeah it's a lot of work just to change a radiator don't know why Pontiac had to make things so complicated
Nice video
I did it it too little over 2 hours
Cool I'm glad to know that people are able to do it in shorter time it's a lot easier to do things when you're not filming a video on how to do it I could have probably done it in less time had I not been making a video but thank you for watching I appreciate your viewership
Same on a 3.9?
Yes it should be the same, the body and the frame is the same design as the 3.5 L just a different engine the inlet and outlet for the radiator might be slightly different but taking it off is still the same long process, thanks for commenting I hope this video helps have a wonderful night
@@DIRTIGARAGEMODS thanks, you too 👍 Not looking forward to doing it but I've put it off long enough
@@oodles86 yeah when I done mine, I had hit two raccoons in the middle of the highway and that's what caused my initial leak but however my car was not overheating it was just losing a little bit of water, the only reason why I did it was to be prepared for winter time because I'm sure that's when it would have overheated the most LOL and my main job requires for me to have a running vehicle so if you live in an area where it's going to get cold over the winter either plan on carrying you 10 gallons of antifreeze or get it done because it's going to be an expensive fix but yes thank you for watching and if you subscribe I appreciate that also
@@DIRTIGARAGEMODS yeah my display kept reading low coolant but I couldn't find a leak, but one day I was jacking it for an oil change and it slipped off the support and dented the radiator.
Subscribed!
@@oodles86 yeah one of the design flaws in the G6 at least on mine is there is no lower support for the radiator so it leaves at vulnerable for anything to hit it, I really think that's a bad design on GM's part but however the car is a really good vehicle, I plan on doing some other uploads here in the near future I'm just waiting for my money flow to start coming back in and once that happens I will be uploading a few other videos, I think I have just about fixed everything that has to do with this G6 LOL but thank you for subscribing and watching you have a wonderful night I am going to go to sleep and good luck
I hate my Pontiac g6. Every single job is a hassle on it. Nothing can just be in a good spot
Yeah I agree they are a pain in the butt to work on, I blame it on the engineers they know nothing about vehicles but they know plenty about making it complicated, I hope my video helped have a good day thank you for watching
I've had a few people comment on this video and tell me that they didn't have to remove the bumper cover to get the radiator out, and I don't believe that you have to remove it but I did it simply for the fact that it made it easier shooting my video and at the time it seemed easier than doing it any other way, I hope this helps
@@DIRTIGARAGEMODSmaybe took the top of bumper cover off and pulled it back. I don't know how else they could have done it
Yeah I'm not sure either, I don't own that car anymore so I couldn't even look to tell you if there was another way kind of wish I did though I miss that car it was a good vehicle, once you have your issue fixed you shouldn't have too many other troubles out of it, mine ran smooth after that
Man. You don't have to work hard. Is no necessary move the bumper
For my car it was necessary I had other repairs that I was doing as well as replacing the radiator, and I'm glad that I did it this way being able to actually place the camera where I needed it without having an obstruction in the way made it a lot easier to shoot the video yeah I probably took the longer route but all the same it's educational to somebody out there at least the 32,000 Plus people that have watched my video
Not even showing the work just talking about what he did off camera. Not very helpful.
If I showed every detail of the how to video this would be a 8 to 10 hour video trust me it's a long process in changing a radiator on a Pontiac G6 and it took me right around eight hours to do it there are plenty of other videos on here that show you the same thing that I show you here feel free to check them out maybe you'll like their videos better
