What was the cost for the new radiator? Can you explain how did you purge for any air instde the radiator coolant?

Getting the part has its own funny story. Long story short, $125 for an OEM radiator from eBay. Tesla wanted to charge me $300, but I think that's cause I may have offended their "parts professionals." 😁 As for purging the cooling system, Tesla offers the steps to do so. service.tesla.com/docs/Model3/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-500E27A2-6F6A-47FD-A5A4-E13387AF6251.html#GUID-500E27A2-6F6A-47FD-A5A4-E13387AF6251

Is it a bad idea to use water hose to spray debris out from the top? I was planning to start with vacuum and a leaf blower then maybe use a hose.
@the.real.Black30628 күн бұрын
Doubt water from a hose would do any damage. So I don't think it's a bad idea.

Hi, I have a 2019 M3 dual motor that is similar from your M3 performance, without heat pump. What in your opinion is the reason for this small hole in your radiator? Do you plan to have it repaired (welded)? If so was it successful ? Thanks for your video
@the.real.Black30629 күн бұрын
Reason for the hole is a rock smacked the radiator just right. I did find a sharp pebble under the bumper after working on the car; I think that's what did it. My plan is to replace the radiator, but I did try soldering the radiator for the heck of it. That's why the spot with the hole is slightly discolored; didn't work. I have a ticket open with Tesla; trying to get a replacement part from them.

Ended up taking it to a Tesla recommended body shop and had it covered under warranty. Had I done the repair myself, I'd use SeamWeld from JB Weld. If you're considering a 3rd visit to Tesla, show them TSB SB-23-10-002. It's for Model 3s, but the root cause covered in the TSB may apply to Ys as well.

Technically, Tesla didn't fix it or root cause the issue. They [Tesla] thought it was a problem with a lack of sealant at the C-pillar and quarter glass. Pointed out the trunk issue to the Tesla-recommended body shop and they fixed the trunk. Problem was what I showed in the video; a lack of sealant between the trunk panels.

Update on my 2021 Y Performance.I had to drop it off again on February 27, 2024 because of rain water in the back bottom hatch! This time they said after looking at an internal corporate memo that the sealant was not probably laid down in a continuous manner where the metal seams meet. They added sealant to the area and retested it and no water intrusion. This is the 5th time! When it rains again we’ll see if they fixed it 😊. Thanks 😊

Thanks for the video. Had the SAME thing happen with my 2018 long range tesla model 3. Took it to Tesla and they said they "replaced" the cover seal.. When I checked the new seal that they installed it hadn't been replaced, and there was still 4-6 cups of water in the area where you can store things. Because i was still standing in the parking lot with my car holding the paperwork that said " new water seal rubber whatever was installed" I took It in and showed one of the service tech guys. Long story short it was never replaced like they said they did, very frustrating experience. Crazy to see a 2023 still has the same issue. SMH. I love Tesla but the service experience is horrible.
