I have coolant coming out the back side of my engine and you can see it underneath the car. Can you explain that if theres another tube other than the one up front

Check your heater hoses. Coolant will flow through the heater core behind the firewall and those hoses and their connectors can crack. Let me know what you see!

nice work

Hey Jeff, do you know if there is a better Y pipe for the coolant hose than the OEM? Its all plastic, do they sell metal or something more durable somewhere? Thanks

dorman 626-611 is supposedly a "permanent" fix. I stuck with oem since the original lasted 10 years and 100k miles... surely i wont have the car 10 more years and another 100k miles to fix it again... lol

Hi! Are the two bottom tanks supposed to remain full all the time? Because mine do not stay full. Does that have something to do with burping the system?

@JeffLyle

The bottom tank is not supposed to be full but it doesnt hurt anything if overfilled. I filled mine up all the way by mistake and made a little mess. There is a little overflow hole in the top of it and it will puke out the extra if you overfill it like I did. Mine is about 2/3rds full now.

Hey I have the same code of p06DE and was wondering how it went and the location of the solenoid itself I read that it’s above the oil filter but I just want to confirm and did replacement of the solenoid worked and clear the code?

Yes, I replaced the solenoid and cleared the codes and everything works fine. The hardest part of the job is getting the exhaust pipe out of the way to reach it.

do you see anything leaking on the ground? If so, you'll have to look very closely starting from under the car and moving up to see if you can find the leak. I like to do this with the car hot so the system is pressurized. If there is no visible leak and you dont see coolant on the ground, then check both your coolant and your oil to see if any mixing is occurring. This could indicate a head gasket issue. If that is the case, you may see white smoke from the tailpipe too.

same here, 2017 ATS 2.0 Noticed the connection nipple on the radiator was broken so hose did not really attach to the radiator,, looking at this, the radiator would need to be replaced! SH*T hoping there is a way to attach the hose without replacing the radiator ANY Info please send to me

You could try a number of things. 1. you could tap the hole in the radiator and thread a new fitting in there. In the LS swap world, this is pretty common with plastic intake manifolds so you can probably find folks with videos on how to do that. This is my recommendation! 2. you could "plastic weld" a new fitting in its place. Cut off the old fitting and find a plastic tube or nipple of the same size and melt it to the housing. This may be too brittle of a solution to hold up long term though.

Thank you! I was actually thinking of putting in a tap. Currently there’s a small enough piece left on the rad and I was able to clamp a new hose in today. Coolant filled and just drove for about 30 minutes no CEL or leakage. I used your link for part and next day so Thanks. I scanned and have no codes and no more idle shakes. Ideas for use as a tap because I don’t think the clamp will hold long term. Appreciate your videos and reply. Any more Cadi videos in the works.

I have the 2.5L engine, i'm going to replace this hose. I figured it was this easy. I replaced the serpentine belt and thermostat this morning. I should have done the water pump too but I didn't have the part. I noticed you filled up your second reservoir to the top...Mine is half way filled on both. I guess I need more coolant. Also, the car is still over heating, but then it drops back down. I think there's air in my system for sure so I didn't realize these things "fixed themselves" in that aspect. Since there is no radiator cap, you can't squeeze the air out of it from the hose that i'm aware of. But anyway, hope mine stops over heating after filling it up this much.

@JeffLyle

yeah I over-filled mine. It should only have half a tank full in the lower reservoir. However, if you overfill it it will weep out of the holes in the top of the tank and not be a big deal. Air in the system will cause it to overheat. If you cycle the heater on full blast and let the system "burp" itself the air bubbles will go away and it should stop overheating.

@@nick_jacob that sounds like a pump to me too. If it was a stuck thermostat, it most likely would have failed open. I have never personally seen a thermostat fail closed although there are rumors on the internet that they can fail close.
