Air is something that is not good for the fluid cooling system of the car. They are like a nightmare to the mechanics, professional, and home workshops. You might already know about the airlocks. check the coolant level frequently as the engine warms after filling per the above and for sure after the engine cools again. The coolant vacuum filler is a tool used to bleed the tool that is often required by car owners. Lethal dose is about 12 ounces, so even if you did swallow some, it would not kill you. We dropped the screened pick up hose into the jug of antifreeze. Make sure the coolant jug does not run dry, this will push air into the system. Hold the jug as close to the same height as the adapter unit. If you do, spit it out an rinse your mouth out. Insert the screened end of the fill hose into your coolant jug. Stop sucking! You may have to fill the reservoir a few times during the "vacuum" application, using your INEXPENSIVE coolant vacuum tool.ĬAUTION: Although it tastes sweet, coolant is quite toxic. Carefully watch the clear hose and when coolant enters it, the system is full. The coolant will be drawn out of the coolant reservoir and into the engine block. Carefully suck on the end of the clear hose. Take three foot length of CLEAR hose that will fit snugly inside of the small coolant return line you removed (you can get the correct size at Home Depot or Lows off of a roll) and shove it into the coolant return line. If the coolant level falls, add a little more to bring the level back up. Fill the coolant reservoir with coolant/distilled water until the reservoir level is a little below the level where the small return hose attaches.
But the vacuum needed is very small.Īfter draining the cooling system by your favorite method, to replace the coolant, do the following: remove the small coolant return hose from the reservoir. True, you need to pull a vacuum to fill the block (applies to the A4 and A5 VWs at least).
The solution is so simple I have no idea why it took me so long to find it (someone on the list told me).
