Working on a customers car, I’ve watch like 5 videos from you in the same car. You DESERVE a like, comment, and a subscription. Thanks!
Here are the steps without the excess words.
(1) Take out plastic bleed valve on left side of radiator, (2) while engine is cold, fill the coolant overflow reservoir until coolant appears at the bleed valve opening, (3) replace bleed valve, (4) replace reservoir cap, (5) set car heater to hot, (6) run car until thermatic fan turns on, indicating car has reached operating temperature and thermostat has opened, (7) take engine to 2000 rpm for several minutes to use water pump to force air through the cooling system to the reservoir [Alternatively, do a short test drive], (8) when engine is cool recheck coolant level in reservoir and fill appropriately. Now a 2 minute video. You're welcome.
but how will i know when to get in and out of the car
Thank you!
You forgot open the hood
Thankyou for this tutorial. Would have been nice if you mentioned open the hood. Took me several hours crawling under car before I realized it’s easier when the hood is open.
I can’t stand this guy!….thanks for the breakdown.
I got to say I'm from California us and I love watching your videos they are super informative for my car which is a Chevy Cruze. Thank you so much for creating these videos.
Thank you for making such easy to follow videos! This one really helped me...I was able to fix things all by myself! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for this video, I hope this solves the one I have coming back to my shop in a few days. Replaced the turbo and it started over heating.
Thanks for your videos. You are so informative and very helpful. Keep up the great work sir.
You do a great job, thanks for all the help!
Great video after I change my thermostat and refill I now know how to bleed my system
Thank you so much for the video helped me out so much!!!!👍🏻
Definitely helped. I'm an Aviation mechanic, but I knoe Nothing about cars. This helped alot (other than stripping the old valve and having to use chanel locks to get it off lmao)
God bless you for all your helpful videos!
Thank you Jean Girard
Well I did this and feel like it went well...so thank you!
Thanks you!
Thanks for instructions, great channel!
Thanks for the video! For cars with the pressurized coolant tank, is it necessary to open the bleeder valve? From what I read in the Chevy Sonic repair manual, I understand the coolant tank acts as the central bleeding location. It allows air bubbles to be collected automatically. Did I misunderstand the repair manual? Thanks!
Thank you little buddy.
lmao the cameraman trying to hold laughters because the woman can't open the hood @1:00
Made my life easier, appreciate it!
Awesome video tks 👍
Also for the diesel model 👍 I had to replace the heater core connector seals. No hot air until I bleed the radiator.
thanks for your video, but is it correct when your engine work normally at temp 215F ? GM design it?
Thank you! C
You wouldn't believe the trouble ppl have when it's not bleed properly. Overheat boil over and a cold radiator hose on the left side that makes you think it's the thermostat...
13 mm is a 1/2 inch to me you metric moron! Y
Literally!! That’s how we found this videooo bc we’ve changed a lot of issues and we were like okay now what’s going on and this was the exact issue mannnnnnn! 🗣️🗣️😫 save the headache lol 😆😮💨
hmm, maybe you can help
bled with one of those big nonspill funnels, loads of air bubbles. great
heating red hot, coolant temp just under middle. perfect
test drive for 10 mins, fine. perfect
parked car up, turned off, restarted and temp gauge went straight up to max???
@@jjmmjj9999if you changed thermostat you have, have to use oem! All the parts stores are a motorad thermostat, it's only stamped on the tstat.. they are absolute junk! I've had them fail in 10 minutes before. Not sure if you did that. & If I recall there is a small bleeder you have to remove many times to make sure no air. Let it cool start up & check the bleeder again make sure no air. Don't drive until you monitor & keep checking for air.
@@jeremyr7147 didn't change thermostat, lower rad hose popped so changed that
I'll try the radiator bleed screw. I think the radiator fan is blown too since it doesn't come on, but fuses are good
I don't have a good bidirectional scan tool to test unfortunately
You guys are great!
If my reservoir tank went empty (damn near just to the level right before that bottom hose can intake any fluid) can I simply just top off the fluid to the correct level without any issues or will I have to bleed it ?
Thanks for valuable information .
thanks u helped alot....
Very helpful
my 2011 chevolet cruze is fan delay cause of over heat water in the radaitor.what is the problem?thanks the answer..
Over the past 4 months have to continuously top up coolant reservoir, noticeable puddles on garage floor. Today the engine light came on and the fan seems to continuously run. The aircond no longer blows cold. I plugged in scanner and it comes up with code P0128. Coolant thermostat. Would this mean I need to replace the thermostat or perhaps try bleeding the cooling system?
New Subscriber! Can I bleed the cooling system if my thermostat isn't in the vehicle? Thanks
Im in South Africa, i own a 2012 Chevy Cruze. The expansion bottle overflowed. I bought a new cap and bleeded it through and for some time it was ok. I also kept getting p0011 error, replaced the oil actuators for the vvt sprockets and replaced the oil which was brand new helix 5w40 but still got the error. Also checked the timing again. I did not drive the car for a while. I decided to drive it to the shopping centre just to charge the battery a bit, about 3km there and back to my house. When i got home the coolant pushed out of the overflow through the cap again. Can you or any body mabe give me some pointers on those 2 problems. Thanks
My chevy shows like the coolant temperature at 220-226 is this normal? I just changed the reservoir. I don't want my car to heat up
Love You Tube saves our bacon.
Hi Guys
I have a Cruze 2.0, when i drive at the high speed it shows error code 89 and when i slow down it disappear. I notice that the coolant tank is cracked. can the crank tank cause error code 89?
Great video! Is another way to bleed it? My bleeder valve is stuck.
Good job
Thank you
I have a 2012 and them hose on top of the motor are being pinched when i start my car.. fan goes on it kind of releases then get pinched again when it shuts off.. i did all the Technics i seen on youtube which was to release the air out of the radiator like you showed.
Hi how to bleed astra 2009 1.8? I just changed the oil cooler and waterpump but the car keeps overheating
So when I did this I had ok the bleed bolt out but while I took it out some pressure was there and than a strong stream of water what that mean am I good idk
Thank you I am going to do this in the morning... Fingers crossed that it works. Because I have changed the water pump the thermostat the coolant tank and radiator and that little heat sensor thing and still overheating. I will let you know if this works!
Did it work?
Cooling fan resistor. Typical on these cars.
The bleeder valve is in the same location on aveo 2008 1.6l and is the same steps please
What's the process on a 2018 Malibu 1.5 turbo?
What is the typical operating temperatures for these engines?
Had a mechanic shop fix coolant leak. Now check engine light on will check engine light is on. Is it because he didn't bleed coolant right?
Should not be, engine light can be for lots of reasons, if you have a tool like a BlueDriver you can connect to your phone to see what the code is and search online for its meaning.
Alternatively call a reputable mechanic and ask if you can go past to find out what the code means.
Thank you GUYS automotive
That was the best explanation I’ve ever had. Thanks. I have a question btw. I found the coolant reservoir on my new car cracked, but the crack was in the top in such a way that coolant wasn’t leaking at all. I don’t know since when the crack was there, assuming the crack was there since the purchase, is it safe for me covering 8000 kms till I found it? There was no overheating, fan functioning well and the radiator is full. Does the air get into the system? Please help. Thanks.
just replace it...its like $30 for a new one. One day you will drive and the pressusre will bust it open and coolant will go everywhere and youll be stuck
the new ones have a metal tube inside the hose connector and are more reliable. anything that leaks pressure can lead to it boiling over
Is the Chevy crushed based on the vauxhall astra
If you change the over flow tank do you have to bleed the cooking system?
no, no need. You just need to clamp with vise grip the 2 tubes, protecting the tubes with cloth so it will not damage.
Can i bleed it even if i will only add some coolant
ecxilent 👍
I’ve been fighting an overheat issue on a 2012 Cruze for a week now. I did not see a bleeder on the radiator. Im going to check that as soon as I get to work this morning
Any success?
@@frankierodriguez5620 no I didn’t still overheating. I replaced water pump with a cheap eBay. I think that might be my problem. It doesn’t seem to be circulating. And the “new” water pump is making a squeaking noise.
Dang.
@@frankierodriguez5620 I put that one on the back burner for now. Had other stuff to do. I think I’m going to get another WP locally and try that.
@@frankthomas2231 the same thing happened to me I bought a water pump on eBay and it was squeaking, to fix to fix this problem you have to make sure the belt is lined up with the AC on the bottom, the AC compressor has an extra tooth so if you put it on the wrong side it will squeak.
Can I use different cooler for my Cruz? Cuz I see you useing pink
Hey buddy Great Video. Listen I just replaced Thermostat on my 2012 Cruze 1.4 Turbo, and it’s reaching temperatures of up to 234 then drops to 228. At 228 the fans kick on is this normal ? Thanks in advance buddy. Also temperature while driving now stays from 226-234 just wanna know if that’s normal.
mine is doing this now and starts to overheat at idle i havent changed my thermostat yet. did you figure out your issue?
@@russkaine I change everything and still overheating..is the head gasket for sure
Hello, can I do this with coolant already in the system?
My heater isn't hot after radiator flush .. I open bleeder valve and nothing
How much do you charge to replace the water pump on that car
water pump is easy to replace
How many litres of coolant did it take to fill up?
What's if the air from the vent remains cold throughout the whole process??
Thanks alot this was my problem now car running like a ticking time clock
Clock or bomb lol
@@Area-cf1gt lmao 😂
How long does all of this take
Where can you buy a replacement bleeder screw

Hi.
I changed the thermostat (and coolant) since the car shown the code P0597, after that the car is still overheating after 20-30 mins of use, but there is no check engine light, I check for leaks and there are not.
What can be possibly happening?
Thanks.-
Eliseo Antonio Torres Ruiz the cooling fans on these quit working on low and medium speed. The high speed doesn't come on till the engine is getting hot. I would look there first.
Temp sensors
Very common for the 1.4L to have a cracked head. Coolant leaks into cylinder 1 on the ones I've seen.
Mine was leaking into the oil
On the 1.4 petrol models they have routed an aircon hose just in front of that bleeder screw. This makes it almost impossible to work with.
What kind of coolant I should use? The green, yellow, Orange????? Please. Thank youuuu.
Orange
Color doesn’t matter as long as it says for GM vehicles or says safe for all makes and models. People get stuck on the color thing because 20 years ago if you mixed them they would clog the shit out of your radiator.
dexcool
Guys, where is the 1.4 video? On my car that bleeder isn't there, is it on the other side?
Yes
Should be around the thermostat housing
can YOU show how to change and ckeck TRANS. OIL on 1.8??????????
when the collant schould be change?
When you take the radiator cap off and see dirt or smudge. Flushing it would help as well
I didnt kno there was bleeder valve i jus left the coolant reservoir cap off till it started boiling over flown....is that normal?
Do you mean that it overflowed from the tank up top, Where you filled it?
You certainly want to do it with the bleeder screw to ensure no air. Even then this car is a little tricky to bleed well.
@@gavin_hill well broke the bleed screw, jb welded it. Aint gettin that b out again
@@crazyamericangamer7036
Haha oh man...
Yes its normal. Its how i alway burped my system until i found the bleeder value
2014 cruze only overheats when driving but idles fine (never runs hot) can also jack up front end and accelerate for long period of time without overheating..any suggestions?
Same here you fix you car?
Probably because of an air bubble in they system they are supposed tobe vaccum bled
What type water for cruze 1.8?
Check owner's manual. Likely Dexcool.
Works for 1.4 engine?
if water in the rad is it ok?
No its not ok
Pa Mela!
Almost a scotty sound track in the beginning 😂👍 0:03
Was the car on when he started
Hi , not being a know it all arsehole but after 30 years in the trade I would suggest not doing repairs on any machinery with dangly hoodie strings , nothing like getting your face pulled into rotating parts to ruin your day
Dude it definitely help if you had a clip on mic to clear up the audio. Other that that you have great videos!!!
It always takes me like 5 tries to get all the air out 🤷♀️😅 lol I’ll get better at it
2012 sonic don't think there's a bleeder and no temp gauge.
There's a bleeder on the same location and one at the bottom of the radiator same side
For temp, you need a scan tool with Live Data.
Just did that now car won’t stay on don’t know what to do
U can open 30 minutes after 👍👍
12 guys en el primer minuto
Is the car on while bleeding the system
No
What if you can't get it loose at all 😅
Intent is good, but somewhat confusing.
nice, but tooooo long.
🌍🌞🌈🌠🌟🚘💚✋👏🙌
Why does everyone on youtube talk like this! It's making me crazy
@Morocho Vallecitos Agreed, I'm just grateful he made the video.
He's a mechanic providing valuable how to information. It's obvious english is not his first language. Be glad it IS in english!
Wonder how You would sound to them?
Pre mixed anti freeze is a terrible waste of money..
If the temperature keeps rising ..and I already change the thermostat housing ..the pcv valve..the temerature sensor in the radiator and flush the cooling system ..it has to be the head gasket..I'm done with Chevy cars ..those things are lemons period
Ain’t nothin about this video about a 2013 Chevy sonic 1.4. NOTHING. Why put it in the video description? Man ain’t nothing the same at all. Smh
Why would you want to do a video with errors (forgot to secure a hose)??? You lose credibility dude.
This does NOT apply to the 1.8, parts aren't even in the same location
Not understanding what you saying
GUYS,GUYS,GUYS,GUYS,I WILL ONLY SAY GUYS 412 MORE TIMES I PROMISE.jUST WATCH,TO SEE HOW MANY TIMES HE SAYS gUYS,RIGHT gUYS?
Hi, Would this be the same process for a Holde Barina TM 2014 Model ? This is the car >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holden_Barina which is the TM 2011-28 Sixth generation. The equivalent oversees is the chevy aveo second generation >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Aveo. I found the bleeder screw on mine also and looks pretty much identical to this car in this video except the location of the overflow tank.
