Spill Proof Funnel Kit : amzn.to/43iPWGM

A trick I figured out that makes it go by even faster; when the coolant drops in the vinyl hose, take it and submerge the end in the coolant. It will begin to suck coolant from the funnel back into the port. It will then top itself off, air free in no time.

Extremely helpful video showing exactly where that blead screw is at, as well as showing the bubbles in the reservoir to know what we're looking at when the time comes and the time stamp on the video to show what the expectation is for how long this will take. Can't thank you enough man.

They changed my recovery resevoir because i had a bad cap under warranty. Even playing with that they did not bleed it right. One day i found it bone dry so it must have blew out the air and sucked it in. I fiiled it to full cold. Been holding eversince. I read the comments on the heater system and now i know.

Awesome! Glad to hear it friend!

When I replaced my 2007 Sienna radiator (same engine) at home, I was aware of the air pocket issue , because few months earlier when the dealership changed the water pump and forgot to bleed it, I gave them another visit. So when the radiator replacement day came I decided to do it myself. I jacked up the front of the van way up to prevent the hoses from spelling the coolant ( coolant was relatively new). My neighbor thought I'm dropping down the engine the way the front of the van was jacked up, I told him that's my way to prevent the rear heater core from loosing coolant. So, if you have a rear passenger heat in your van or SUV, most probably you'll have an air pocket after coolant replacement unless you follow the bleeder step shown in this video.

messaging the large coolant hose brought out a ton more air bubbles for me.

Thank you for the video! Worked great for me. I had to run the engine at 2,500 RPM for about 20 minutes before the steady flow started through tube. Not sure if I botched the end of the job; After closing the bleed valve I let the engine run at idle for about 10 minutes with no bubbles in the funnel, I turned off the engine before pulling out the funnel and she sucked another mouth full of coolant with a few bubbles in the funnel.. so I turned the engine back on.. No more bubbles, but wasn't sure if I just re-introduced air into the system with that last gulp it took when I shut off the engine?

Sounds like you should be fine, I doubt any air got trapped in the system. Just keep an eye on the coolant reservoir level for a few days.

Great tutoring video. I subscribed. I am going to change coolant in RX350, 2015. Everything in the video is straight forward, but still have a few questions. Have the heater on max hot, it helps you determine if the system is bled of air. If it blows really hot when the engine is idling, you are done bleeding. If it blows hot air when revved up, but cools off when idling, there is still air in the system. You did not mention about waiting until thermostat opens and radiator fan turns on, should the upper and lower radiator hoses be squeezed before starting the engine to speed up the ridding of air process. Does it matter when the coolant reservoir should be filled up: before the filling of radiator or after? Also, 2GR-FE engines have two 10 mm engine block drain plugs. Have you ever tried to drain them and how much extra coolant will come out. I would like to get out as much coolant as possible.

@CarsYouCanFix

8 күн бұрын

Thanks for subscribing! Reason the heater isn't set to max is this setup is constantly flowing coolant through the heater core, and uses baffles to control the heat to the cabin. If you do the procedure exactly you can rest assured the air will be bled out, when the coolant is coming back up the tube that is when the thermostat is opening. You can squeeze the hoses if you want, not necessary though. I top off the coolant reservoir at the end. I haven't drained the block on this vehicle, I think it would drain another gallon or so of coolant.

So, when you drain the system (and refill and bleed the system), do you want the heaters all the way on hot with the fans off so you can get the old coolant to drain out and the new coolant to fill back in? Very helpful video, by the way. Thanks! :)

There will still be a little bit of coolant left in the engine during a drain and fill. You will get more coolant out doing a thermostat or water pump job but you really can't get all the coolant out. Just stay on top of your coolant changes every 4-5 years.

How often are you supposed to do a coolant flush. In the past when my AC stopped working they went under the dashboard and replaced out the blower motor. But it went out again and I've never ever had this process done and the truck is 12 years old. So in short my question is how often is this supposed to be done??

Coolant flush intervals depend on the manufacturer, but I would recommend replacing the coolant every 4-5 years.

I tried this system numerous times and cannot get to the level when it finally rises with solid liquid in the clear tube, the large funnel boils violently and even overflows coolant.
