Yes this actually helped me because I have a 06 Buick Rendezvous and all the videos are from 05's and lower with different looking engines. However, this isn't really that helpful if you are just learning how to do this. When the video starts everything is already taken apart. I think most people learning want to see the process. I just did this yesterday and wish I would have recorded. Thanks for the video man
I'm in the middle of it wondering how the hell I'm supposed to get the rest of that lower tstat housing bolt unthreaded as the last 13mm wrench just fell down behind everything and didn't hit the ground. Knowing there's a notch cut out is a great bonus! Something I was sitting there cussing engineers about while taking everything apart.
Dunno if anyone cares but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother for the last few days :)
These engines can be difficult to bleed the air out of the cooling system. I have an 07 rendezvous, and someone suggested I park it facing uphill at night, and raise the rad cap higher than the heater inlets on the firewall (I used a ramp). Using a spill-free funnel the morning after i replaced my ‘stat, I was able to get another 1/2-3/4 of a gallon of coolant in as it warmed up and cycled through, pushing the air bubbles out.
@@Micscience actually on mine the reservoir is higher than the rad cap. Unfortunately, air compresses more than liquid, so whatever bubbles are in the coolant system tend to get trapped in there, so giving them a few different places to exit when the system is open is usually best.
@@gregorykusiak5424 Yea same with mine however the inlet and outlet hoses of the heater core are around the same height of the reservoir. I still notice when using ramps it does a better job. You can see the bubles come up into the reservoir. i have a video of it.
This video didn't show anything so how could it help. You had parts off already. Why would you do this video over a step by step replacement. Your tip is moot without showing those with no car knowledge how to remove throttle body and housing.
We have an 06 and I'm trying to locate the coolant temp sensor. I've removed the air intake and throttle body but don't see it, can't find any good videos on it or pictures. Would someone be able to point it out? The car is still giving us issues with not getting up to temp and blowing cold air, at idle will over heat. Over the past year we've replaced, heater core, the radiator, the thermostat twice and had a coolant flush done. Nothing has helped yet. I have the new sensor but can't find the location. If this don't work I hear it could be a compression issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You don't have to loosen bolt all they way, bullshit! You almost have to take bolt out, stubby wrench. lol Fifteen-minute job + 3 hours, after hernia surgury
I didnt want to have to remove that pipe, but this video confirmed it. Thank you
Thanks Terry

@Blaine Darian Yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)
Lame. No one uses that.
About to do mine and yes the video is a huge help...Thanks Again.
A lot of extra shit just to get that tube out of the way smh gotta love jt

I believe this style cooling system the air comes out threw the resevour tank since it is probably just as high as the inlet and outlet hoses.

Did you ever find where the sensor is. I’m looking for it and can’t find it.
@@atheaonpayne6863 nope, I got tired of working on that money pit and sold it off and got a newer car with better gas mileage.
