one tip, don't put back that plastic plug before starting refilling. Leave it open, start adding coolant and once you see it's leaking from there screw it back in. That will help to get the air completely out.

You don't have to drain entire coolant. I mean you might as well drain it all out, and do a flush and add new coolant.

Repeat until water runs out clear.

They will actually professionally recycle your old used Coolant to ensure that it does not cause any environmental harm. Hope the video helped!

I dispose of it at a local quick oil change place and they take auto trans fluid. So I suspect other quick oil places will to, I did have one that didn't want to bother.

Gunther Jimenez Thanks for watching & sharing your question. These little clamps can be tricky at times and what you need to do is just verify that the hose is properly aligned over the beveled lip. At this point the clip can be pressed into place to secure hose on connection point. Keep us posted!

Did you ever get hose to go on. Mine is doing same thing. All my coolant leaks out and engine overheats.

Amber Hendricks This is the reply we posted on your other comment. Hope this helps! Not good! 😲 Take a look at the (3:00) minute time in this video. You will see the locking clip specifically for keeping the lower hose firmly connected with proper seal not allowing coolant to leak. Check all around the surface where you worked on car & try to find Locking clip. Keep us posted! 😎👍🔧🔩

It’s likely that the clamp needs replacing as a lot of hose clamps are not even meant to come off and go back on.

Perhaps if the video showed the actual 'actions' of removal and refitting of this hose instead of cutting to the next step it would be more beneficial to viewers. Get down there under the car and film it, point to the hose and clip with your finger, or a screwdriver or BETTER yet start adding in arrows ⤴ within the video editing. Constructive criticism, but still liked and appreciated your videos. 👍

Where does it drain from

What year is your Cruze, your drain port might be on lower left hand side of Radiator if standing in front of vehicle. You can go under car & remove T-screws which will allow you to remove the splash guard. Keep us posted on your DIY project.

If I'm just changing my reservoir do I need to flush the coolant?
@DIYwithMichaelBorders
5 жыл бұрын
Bravo GotSwag Thanks for watching & great question. It’s personal preference & that’s because if the reservoir has coolant inside, it’s going to leak out when removing both hoses. If your reservoir is empty, you do not need to drain system because your reservoir is above fluid level. Hope this helps.

If your just replacing the reservoir and it has coolant in it, use a siphon (from your local auto store) to remove as much coolant as you possibly can to be at the lower level of the lower draining/hose connection point. - this will reduce the chance of spilling any when disconnecting that bottom hose of the reservoir.
