    Good job from an old retired tech,you explained it very well,even a dummy couldn’t screw this up.
    I checked other videos and yours is the best.I can suggest a cork from a wine bottle works well for the funnel.

If you happen to see this message I was just wondering if I wanted to go to Pick-N-Pull and get a housing outlet coolant system would it work as long as it's the same year as mine and will it work okay? And for how long you think until I will need to get a brand new one or should I just get a brand new one?

    • @HowToWithLech
      @HowToWithLech  Před 2 lety +1

      @@macaugustine2298 if you need to replace i would suggest getting new. you can pickup new radiator for like $60-$70 online. (you dont need the all aluminum one) thermostat should be under $20 if you dont need housing with it. unless youre picking something in great condition and cheap. otherwise might not be worth it as who knows how long that one will last.

    Great explanation. When I have the time, I typically leave the funnel in place (loosely covered to avoid debris entry) at the end of the burping process. I remove it after the system cools. This avoids handling of the hot coolant and allows some additional coolant to be drawn into the system as it contracts. After removing the funnel with remaining cooled liquid, I then just draw some coolant out of the reservoir until it's at the proper level.

    Fan motor does not need to be on high. Temperature select does need to be maxxed so max fluid flow can pass through. Having fan speed on high makes heater core act as a miniature radiator, cooling fluid and lengthening warm up time.

    Hello , i am using the same Lexus RX300, 1999 model engine 1MZFE . we accidently swap/connecting the Vacuum Surge Tank pipe to the water outlet there just below it. the system was filled with water until the water comes out at The Charcoal Canister through the Air Drain Horse, back there beyond the gas tank.. We have tried to remove the water by sucking and blowing through the pipes and even put the new service kit since we found some plugs socked in water. but still the car wont start but cranks. what advice can you give sir

      Not sure to be honest. Sounds like a bigger issue. Not familiar with the car, so can’t advise more

    Do you have to do this method after replacing the water pump also ?

      if changing water pump its a good idea to change the fluid to. but yeah, you will need to make sure no air pockets sitting et.

      Correct. Can siphon some out after. Or it will just overflow later through the hose on there.

      Is there too much coolant in the reservoir? Should be filled to the marked lines. Not sure if the hole would affect it. Sorry not sure what it could be
