GATES TRAINING: Cooling System Flush: Cleaning Neglected Vehicles FULL Version
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The engine cooling system is one of the most critical elements of engine performance and reliability but is often the most neglected maintenance item for all vehicles on the road today. Common flush procedures are not enough to remove the amount of contaminants present in neglected vehicles. With the Gates PowerClean tool, technicians can now recommend a more thorough flush procedure to consumers. Doing so will increase engine cooling efficiency, protect the life of the water pump and eliminate unnecessary customer comebacks.

I kind of made one of these out of cheap parts from Lowes'. They sell a garden hose attachment in the plumbing section that has a rubber bulb that fills up with water and closes off the pipe/hose that you want to clean out. The end has a small opening that pushes out pressurized water. You can also get an attachment that has an on/off valve you can use to toggle the water on and off quickly to get that pulse action. The whole thing would only cost about fifteen dollars.

Or spend $500 on this tool
We need more videos that can explain things this simple
Thanks for the comment. The PowerClean flush tool doesn't use a pump to push water out faster. It only needs a garden hose and shop air. PowerClean’s pressure is only 28psi, so it is gentle on radiators and heater cores. We have found (as we are sure you have, too) that the causes of heater cores leaks are typically contamination, electrolysis, or degradation by the practice of mixing disparate coolants and/or not flushing per the OE recommendations.
Excellent video. Great tool.
watch chris fix he does a complete flush its awesome
Thank you for the comment. It’s fine to use hose water for the flush. The distilled water is recommended when adding the 50/50 mix of coolant and water. If there is concern about hose water pooling in the system the tech can turn off the water and blow air through each section to remove more water. We have not seen any correlation between flushing with hose water and continued contamination of the system. Hope that helps!
Great video thank you!
Thumbs up for the mechanic not dumping coolant all over herself like I always seem to.

I have noticed several comments on here questioning the validity of this video and the use of the tool. I thought I would offer some commentary on the subject. This was an actual flush of the vehicle, we could have searched for a more contaminated example but we used a volunteer vehicle from the group. The sock was used as a filter and we then emptied the contents onto the white cloth and let it dry to see what was available. The thermostat was removed to allow for a more complete flush. My rule of service is anytime the cooling system is opened it should receive a new thermostat, it's just good practice. The recommended use of mineral free water to mix with the glycol is made to prevent future scale and mineral build-up. The flush water is tap water and it was drained before refilling. I have since used this tool extensively in other applications and have found it works quite well to clean blocked heater cores, radiators, and engine blocks. It has saved me the trouble of removing a dash and replacing heater cores. I have yet to have it cause damage from over pressuring the system. I think you would have to have a severely damaged component to have this happen. I have also used the tool to clean sugar contaminated fuel tanks after disposing of the contaminated fuel. The alternative of simply draining and filling or using a hose is just not good enough to clean the system. I look forward to making more videos to follow-up to this discussion. I appreciate everyone watching. Schreck.

Andrew Armstrong Thanks for your comments, the tool is regulated to a much smaller pressure than the shop air. Although the regulator is set-up to operate from 75 to 120 psi on the supply end the regulated output of the pulsations are much less. It under 25psi from what I remember but I will review the instructions in my kit to be sure.

+John Schreckengast (Schreck The Tech) Good luck removing the thermostat on many newer cars. They're buried deep under many other parts. Example: my B5S4. To get to the thermostat you need to remove the timing belt, therefore bumper, radiator, A/C condenser, multiple fans, pulleys, covers, etc. You may as well put new cam seals, front engine seal, new timing belt, new water pump, etc. on during that process.
Thank you for your comment. As you may know, 50/50 is simply pre-diluted coolant. This makes it easier to fill as it is already mixed with distilled water to the correct proportions. As long as topping off with a non-OE coolant equivalent does not exceed 10-15% of total volume there is a reduced chance of premature contamination leading to water pump failure. It is generally recommended to top off with the OE coolant or equivalent chemistry.

Pulsation works really well for cleaning a lot of stuff..this is common technique in industrial cleaning but recently borrowed by automotive world. It is safer than continuous stream of high pressure water which can damage surface and component...

Thanks for writing. We assume you are referring to the system's working pressure. In order to flush your system it will need to be "open," so yes, the PowerClean Flush Tool is safe to use. Does that help?
@ShortFlame Perhaps you need a good seal to hold the special type of lube on the shaft you mentioned?
This idea is supper and is going to Change how to flush the cooling system for ever
Very nice tool, I've witnessed it in use in the shop. It really does a decent job on dirty systems, once you get used to the quirks of using it. On really, really bad systems, I've found that it helps quite a bit to perform a chemical flush, letting the engine cool and draining out the chemical flush prior to using this tool. I am somewhat surprised that ballcock valves are not included in the water and air feeds to avoid the need to quickly disconnect the air supply in between uses. Sure, the end user can modify the tool to include these, however, given the rather premium price of this tool ($500+), I don't think the inclusion of a water and air shutoff mechanism is an unreasonable demand. I would give this some serious consideration. Despite the tool's obvious utility (and my own tool addiction), I can't justify purchasing it for use as a DIYer, even in a multi-car situation (in fairness to Gates, I do not believe the 91002 is targeted at the DIY market). I've chosen to settle for the more affordable Mityvac MV4570 flush gun that allow me to perform a similar cleaning process, albeit without the benefit of the patented water pulsation feature or the integrated stream pressure regulation. With due care with regard to water and air pressure, and judicious use of the air trigger, it does a decent enough job for me, especially when used subsequent to a chemical flush.

Very educational.
If your radiator is contaminated with rust we recommend purchasing a new one. Once the new on is installed, flush the entire system using the PowerClean Flush Tool. It sounds like your heater core may be corroded or blocked as well, so have a tech flush the core to see if the issue is resolved. If not, you may need a new one. We also recommend determining what the OE spec coolant is and only refill with a 50/50 mix of that and distilled water.
Performing this procedure on a truck is easy. I'd like to see you flush a front-wheel drive car, with its overly cramped engine compartment, and no radiator cap - an overflow tank only.
Thorough :) Thanks!

great video thanks - Q. is it safe to empty the coolant from engine and heater core by Air only ?(by connecting the leaf blower to the upper hose and disconnected the lower hose from rad. )

Best cooling system video I have seen. Problem is where to find one who has and knows how to preform this service. Also, how do you know you have enough water OUT to allow enough anti freeze back in. I am due a coolant change on my 2018 Explorer (20,000 miles) but do not trust anyone as most won't let you watch. No Idea who would do this type service in Midlothian Va. area. I am not due until May and am now in recon mode.🦇
Thanks for your comment. No chemicals were used in this video. Regular tap water is all that is needed, so you can connect the tool to a garden hose. Use distilled only when refilling with coolant and water.

The most amazing part of this video is that they have a 1999 Durango that's never had the water pump replaced. I have 70,000 on my '03 and I am on the THIRD water pump. This is not uncommon from what I've heard.
My shop uses a wymm's power flush machine, i dont think it would get as much out as this system does, but i try to do the best when its accully flushing ill pulsate the throttle a few times to helpspeed upo flow and slow it down again, ive seen some crazy stuff in dexcol a few times:)
thanks for the awesome video gates. very good and detailed. i have a 2003 durango 5.9 and it has an additional heater in the back. would doing the regular heater cleaning method ALSO clean out the rear heating system? or is there another method to this? i ask, because my front heater blows hot air like it should, but the rear passenger vents blow cold air and was wondering if doing a flush would clear that issue up. its currently to cold to find out if the flap is stuck at the moment and would be to time consuming during the winter time on my DD to take all the rear interior panels out to find out.

You can flush both at the same time, but I have found it more effective to flush out the front and rear cores individually if you can get to the heater hose junctions.
Hmmm, I wonder how long it took for the heater core to start leaking after that power flush? I'm always leery of doing a high pressure flush on a high mileage neglected vehicle. Usually always results in a come back with the customer blaming the tech for further issues.....

I always do a "rolling coolant change" by extracting what's in the expansion tank (around a half gallon) and replacing it with a fresh 50/50 mix once a year. The expansion tank is an active part of the circulated coolant on my 4.6 Ford. Never had rust or a bad heater core and my original 2003 water pump is still kicking. You can cause problems by power flushing. Always use Prestone.

I purchased this tool recently and I am confused on the written instructions which states " install the backnflow preventer to the bib/spigot end of your water supply; not at the gun end of the hose". On this video she attaches the back flow preventer on the gun end. Which instructions are correct?

Do you think it is OK to drain a radiator after the car sitting for 4 months or do I need to start the car up to circulate the coolant in the engine and drain it. After that use flush with distilled water to flush the coolant system......
This thing should be called the volkswagen garden hose nozzle😂 regular flushing with a garden hose sprayer is just as good. Then do a fill with distilled water and a cooling system flush chemical and no thermostat. Drive around. Drain it again and fill with distilled water if your worried about the chemical. Drive more. Drain it completely (use shop vac for the parts that don't wanna drain with gravity it works trust me😂). Fill with 50/50 coolant. And change that coolant every 3 years or so so you can avoid this issue in the first place.
My manual says to not use more than 20psi air in the cooling system. Would your product still be effective at that pressure?

I need one were do I buy
I had my car in a shop for a new thermostat and I also stated I wanted a cooling system flush. When I picked it up, they didn't have it on the work order/receipt and when I asked, they were scratching their head about if they did it or not. One person over the phone (it was past closing time, I should mention) told the lady that he drained and replaced. When I questioned that as being a real "flush" she repeated that he said to her that they weren't "EPA certified". (Huh??) She asked someone else at the shop who walked up and he stated they run water to flush, but it's still more or less questionable whether or not they did it since the man over the phone said he drained and replaced, which is NOT a "flush". At least I didn't pay for what I probably didn't get since they quoted me $45 in person for the flush and it's not on the receipt as being done and it would have been about $50 higher with it vs what the ticket came up to be.
I'm in the 50265 area code. Is there a shop/dealership near me that has this system?
I'm replacing coolant in my '99 Pathfinder with a waterless. What will ensure engine block is completely drained?

+Warryck Scown Thank you for the comment. We are not certain why a different “filter” was chosen for the two methods when the video was created; however, we firmly believe the result is the same regardless. Independent testing has confirmed that flushing a cooling system with just a garden hose will not remove as many contaminants as with the PowerClean Flush Tool will. The secret is in the PowerClean’s pulsing action. Whereas a garden hose can only deliver constant pressure and water volume, what really cleans out cooling systems is the pulsing action that can force out stubborn contaminants. With that said, we want to thank you for your comment and will use the same filtering device for our next video.

#1 Your "firmly believe the result is the same" does not in any way prove that it is. #2 what you didn't compare is your tool against a more thorough water hose flush. Such repeating the same steps multiple times with the hose and also by back flushing to agitate the debris inside. Once there was no more debris found THEN run your test with your tool to see if it can produce any more debris. That would be WAY more convincing. Especially considering the ridiculous price you are asking for this relatively simple tool.

+Jen Son Thanks for the comment. In reference to your question, it is not necessary to remove the thermostat from the vehicle to perform the flush. The reason is that the vehicle must be flushed in three different stages. Prior to the flush, the radiator and heater core should be disconnected from the block via the radiator and heater hoses, and then the block should be flushed followed by just the heater core and just the radiator. As a result of this procedure, there is no need to remove the thermostat.

While not absolutely necessary to remove the thermostat, it is a good idea as this will allow for the best flow while using the flush gun. Additionally this will prevent any loosened debris from getting lodged in the thermostat itself.
Question? How does 75 PSI not blow apart the heater core, especially if it’s clogged? It’s only good for like 10-12 PSI isn’t it?
@GatesNorthAmerica

The water projecting from the end of the tool is regulated to 28psi no matter how much pressure you have going in from the air or water. Of all the thousands of these tools we have sold I have never heard of anyone blowing apart a heater core. If the heater core does happen to break apart or leak there was a problem with the heater core to begin with. The PowerClean Flush Tool will not create a problem but will expose one.
Please flush twice, its a long way to Brentwood!
Water pumps aren't that costly anyways, I have been changing the coolant in my cars myself for years and never had an issue. I only use distilled water and a good quality coolant.

This is a comment from down below:snoopdogie1871- yes the pressure going into the unit is high, but the unit is small. You are then taking that high pressure, with a small size flow, and forcing it into a larger area, thereby decreasing the pressure. Pressure can't even build up inside the heater core since its being use as an open system.
what if your car has no radiator cap and just a reservoir? start at bottom and then flush the reservoir and that be the way to get to the top of radiator? also where can you get one of these tools at?

+topdog harrison We would recommend that you remove the upper and lower radiator hoses to flush the radiator as a separate unit. The cooling system should be flushed in three steps with the hoses disconnected to each component: engine, heater core and radiator. We would also recommend to clean and/or replace the reservoir. The power clean tool is available at different auto parts stores such as NAPA or O’Reilly. If the reservoir neck is larger than the nozzle, Gates also has larger size nozzle.

The tool comes with an extension hose and tip to get to the heater hoses or the heater hose connection. Most cooling systems are too long to flush from one starting point, moving through the radiator block and heater core. Flushing all 3 parts individually isolates the contaminants and removes them more quickly and completely.
I think the reason no one does a flush as often as they should is because a lot of coolant today says 150k miles or even lifetime coolant, so they don't think they need to flush

where the contaminants come from?
@GatesNorthAmerica
7 жыл бұрын
Contaminants can come from degraded and weak coolant/antifreeze. The protective corrosion inhibitors break down over time and can lead to metals being unprotected in the system. When you have unprotected metals the water and heat in the system can quickly corrode metals, leaving behind particles of rust, aluminum oxide, copper particles, etc. Introducing non-compatible coolants during top offs or insufficient flushing can also create a corrosive environment. Another area of contamination can come from using regular tap water instead of distilled or deionized water. Minerals in the water can leave calcium and other mineral deposits. Particles from those deposits can flake off and damage the water pump and other components.

For the DIYer, unfortunately not in my opinion. There are many other ways to "power flush" your cooling system, but from what I have seen the 91002 still does a superior job of it. Just not superior enough to justify $475 of my money, but then I am not a pro making money off cooling flushes.
