Brother I have a 2008 accord as well 2.4 liter I watched your videos and I always been keeping up with maintenance I hear a cold start it’s the VTC actuator should I fix it or pay 800$ from the dealer to get it replaced I currently have 122K miles and the car has always been mainted please help
@@michaelkimball1948 I read that you don't need to replace the whole actuator. You only need to change the spring inside the actuator. It is A LOT simpler to just change the spring than the whole actuator czcams.com/video/TvZfZHoUXq0/video.html
@@israelthurman5358 yes these engines are known for an oil leak on the passenger side of engine (USA) which is the V-TEC solenoid seals in most cases. Mine has a slow leak as well.
i have no idea if anyone will reply. so i add coolant to the reservoir then the radiator itself, run it to operating temp, top off if needed then run it one more time?
@@franciscomelendez3398 the drain plug driver side very bottom left of radiator like it shows in this video. I didn't actually "remove" mine I just unscrewed it by hand until max flow of coolant was flowing out

Why did you change the coolant ? My car has been smoking lately(same mode) and I’m wondering if it’s related
Anytime i buy anything used i do a full service so I have a starting point for maintenance. Also let's me know if anything is leaking.
@@KReesethebeast something is leaking. a line behind the engine seems to be leaking engine oil

@@KReesethebeast do you think it could also be causing the faint smoke? Maybe just the heat of the engine burning the leaking oil?

You got it, run it and then check it may take a while to get all the air out
Going to do it tomorrow. Thanks.
Let us know how it turns out glad this helped you good luck!
@@KReesethebeast Done! Running just fine and ready for winter. Thank you!
@@neverforget3940 Awesome news Kerry! So glad I was able to help make this easier for you. I hope you have a great day!
Hi, what type of coolant did you use, the brand?
Thanks 😊
See the picture.
Hi Kevan I'm doing my cooler system to
Hope this helped you!
what do you mea turn the heater On?
what heater and when you said thats goi g to do the trick, what exactly is the trick?
Turning the heater sends the coolant through the heater core and flushes the whole system.
Thanks I got it. thanks for your video and your answer!!!
You said to run your heater. You talking about your air conditioner sir? What if your air conditioner is out?
Turning on the heater circulates the coolant through the heater core
Did you fasten the cover when you rev the car?
No I left it open to let some of the air be expelled through the top of the radiator.
Do you close your radiotor cap or leave it off until the radiator fan kicks on like twice?
i didnt understand the radiator part, what did you removed to drained it?

I just did it to get the air out, then put on before it runs out as the engine warms up.
Does this also work for a 6 cylinder engine
I have the v6 too I am trying it out
Yes
I cannot advise as I have not done it on that engine.
What do you do with the old coolant?
You can put it into a gallon milk jug or something similar and take it to autozone or advanced auto parts. They'll recycle it for free.
see answer below
country as fukk lol but good video and gave thumbs up. lol
Thanks Bro!
Hey what if I just dumped the coolant in the reservoir and add new coolant , would that be ok ?
Yes you add coolant to the reservoir.
I’m still confused on the driving part of this 😒
driving part?
Do you close the lid when you start your car ?
If lid you mean hood, then not while I am working on it.
No haha, the little cap on the radiator hose sorry.
😀
Thanks!
