Refilling And Bleeding The Cooling System
In this video I cover the proper procedure for refilling and purging air from the cooling system after a cooling system component replacement or a coolant change.
Forgetting to bleed the system typically results in the engine running hotter than usual (as evidenced by the dash temperature gauge) or even overheating following a repair. Overheating even once can cause serious engine damage.
The bleeding process is pretty straightforward and I'll take you through the process step by step.

How to Change your vehicles thermostat part 1
Dont overpay a mechanic for this simple repair. Broke down on the side of road and using wifi. Take it out till you get home with a couple of wrenches or sockets, you can run it without it if your overheating. Comming home from a trip I was overheating do to this bad thermostat. After taking it out I drove the hour and a half home with no issue and ran my errands the next day till it was fixed. $10 and a half an hour of time!
