They wanted $763.00 to make the repair. I would still owe them $348.55 after what my extended warranty covered. I paid their diagnostic fee and took it to another repair shop. It will cost me $93.98 + another $50.00 diagnostic fee after the warranty pays their part. Thanks for the diagnosting describing the problem.

Thanks bro , good video , just sub.

I understand the bleeding process is to run the engine over 1200 rpm for a period of time and move the heater controls in a certain position. The car care nut has a video on this. Any other procedure will not bleed the system properly and cause other problems.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Just one question if you don't mind...Why can't you just replace the actuator instead of replacing the entire hose assembly? Doesn't the actuator just pry off?

@TheYotaChannel

Ай бұрын

I wouldn't recommend prying it off. On the Rav 4, the new valve comes with the hose attached already. The Camry and Corolla the valve comes separate from the hose. Prying the hose off the Rav4 and reinstalling the old hose, you run the risk of the hose coming off when the vehicle is hot and the cooling system under pressure.

Thank you very much.
