You can always use a flat head screwdriver to get between the rubber hose and the plastic thing that the hose is going over as well to maneuver it off a little more easily

Your video helped me drain my vw cc. Thank you. German cars can be so unnecessarily difficult sometimes lol

Thank you buddy

Great video. I need to do this job but I'm a bit uneasy to run the engine dry like that. How long did you let it run for? T.I.A.

Awesome

when you were flushing the heater core, did you run the car without any coolant in it? if so can running the car without any new coolant possibly damage the main water pump? i believe it is not good to run a water pump dry

When I do my cars (inc a 1.8tsi EA888), I dump the coolant and fill with water from the garden hose (soft water where I live so it's no problem) and use the car normally for a few days and turn the heater on occasionally. Repeat until the water runs clear and then do the coolant/demineralised water

Can i run peak euro purple 50/50 and not mix water with it?

to flush the heater core, you ran the engine with the lower hose disconnected?

Is it safe to run an engine with no coolant? I guess as long as it doesn't overheat but I feel like it wouldn't take long

Mines tries to over heat when accelerating what’s your thoughts on it and my coolant needs to be clean also could that be the issue or a start just got it from a buy here pay here place 2015 vw se tsi

With proper pliers it’ll come right off

german cars feel easier to work on in my opinion rather instead than these more modern GM & Fords they're more complex systems

Where was the engine Coolant filter in the reservoir? I might have missed it.

What engine coolant filter? None fitted AFAIK

@Spiderbug23 there should be no coolant filter in the reservoir! Nowadays almost all new coolant reservoirs come with a moisture absorber bag in it. Don’t forget to remove that bag otherwise it can burst and destroy your entire cooling system!

did this and the plastic hose clamp snapped the pump 🥹 internet says $186-360 part

If it’s that brittle it was probably gonna break soon anyways. it’s a good thing it snapped in your garage and not on the road!

The engines are pretty much all the same throughout the generations. Minor changes. You can do this easily to any VW

Is this the same with the beetle car

​@@bradleygray2103 yes, the old beetles don't have a radiator. The new ones do

Why in the hell didn't vw just have a radiator with a fn drain plug?!? Not encouraging

just dont let it overheat since you have no coolant in there. Just turn it on with the heater blasting, and monitor it quickly by running back to the front and once you see its finishing up, engine is getting warmer. Just turn it off. Than plug it all back up and do the last steps. No need to worry about air in the lines as it has a system that does it by itself. Just close the cap once done and monitor it for next few days to make sure your levels are perfect.
