Is there a radiator cap on a 2000 LS? Or just the reservoir cap by the windshield? Thx!

My friend is having the overheating issues. I just came across ur videos so i have yet to bleed the system which i can do tomorrow. One question i have is her check engine light is on and my OBDII reader is throwing the P1299 code. Would not bleeding the system cause that code to trip? Is that a common code when the system oberheats? Let me know before i go and buy those parts lol. Thanks

Thanks! I'll do this in the morning.

glad to help!!!, let me know how it goes.

At the end of the video u said wait for it to cool down and repeat this process.. do you mean after it cools down, take the cap off again and unscrew the valve and accelerate for 2-3 min and then close it back up?

mines still overheats....it bubbles back in the reservoir and pushes all the coolant back in the reservoir but when i cut the car off you can hear coolant flowing through all the hoses.. things ive replaced thermostat housing thermostat all the front hoses reservoir tank heater control valve Pls help a brother out...... ps there is a leak on the driver side behind the front tire

I NEED HELP I just had to change a hose from the reservoir tank because it was leaking coolant I would put in, and now that I got a new one and the tank is empty, I don’t know if I should just go straight into filling it up with coolant or bleeding it first. On a 2000 Lincoln ls v8

You gotta add coolant first, then open the bleed valve and wait until it drips out. Make sure to close the radiator cap when you see it being bleed from the bleed valve. Then repeat this process until you have a normal coolant level and the system is correctly pressurized. LEt me know how it, goes. good luck..

My 01 ls is overheating while A/C is on and in slow traffic. Ive replaced the Fan and Thermostat. Have you had any issue like this

!!This is missing an important step!! You can find a PDF with the correct bleeding instructions online, but the main difference is that you also need to fill the coolant from the engine fill spot. It's above the thermostat housing and has a hexagonal entrance about the size of a T55, you can just remove it with a wrench though.

If you were to drain the coolant or have a bad leak, you would want to fill the coolant in at that cap first before adding coolant to the reservoir. It avoids a long and tedious coolant bleeding process. Especially if you have the car on jackstands in the front while doing all of this.

I just noticed I was low on coolant. Is it necessary to bleed everytime I add coolant or only if its really low?

ideally the entire system including the heater core should be full of coolant in order for it to be bled correctly. IT sounds like your DCCV is broken, thats why you get no heat. You can try bleeding it, it should still leak out the bleed valve, but it won't fix your DCCV, the dual coolant control valve.

I have a 2006 ls v8 and had no issues until yesterday i was driving and it overheated. Parked it water was all over the ground towards the middle of car. Had to put full bottle of antifreeze in. Hasnt overheated again but i notice a slight leak from under middle of car.

So you got a leak somewhere. Check your overflow tank (Degas bottle) first. That is the most common failure point on these, they develop small cracks on the bottom where you literally can't see it until you remove the tank completely. Let me know. The crack basically expands as the coolant heats up once the crack develops.

The engine itself is one of the most reliable v8 ever built. It isn't without its flaws though. That reservoir bottle is known for cracking and so is the plastic thermostat housing. They also seem to go through tie rods fairly fast, probably not faster than any other car though and the 1-2 shift solenoid starts to shift hard after a while. I would advise getting nothing less than a 2003 model, as the earlier models than that had a Hydraulicly powered coolant fan, and it was known to fail. Also it says right on the bottle that the regular green antifreeze is fine just don't use the red stuff.
