  • This is sometimes the problem with the self help video's, they don't always come with safety instructions. It may be common sense to a person who is familiar with the basic workings of a vehicle but he did fail to mention to NEVER remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot!

  • NEVER open your radiator cap while the engine is at operating temp.

  • @shahqwer1234 keeps forming bubbles after you burp it? do you have any leaks in the system? If none then it maybe a bad water pump seal, head gasket.

  • my car's radiator keeps forming bubbles?wat does that mean?

  • Nice you went straight to the point. I don´t think I need to know anything more than wahat u said. Cheers

  • The bubbles just keep coming! Was there really that much air in my system, or could I have a head gasket blown? My mechanic changed the radiator out last night and I don't think he let it burp first, but I have had many troubles with this truck's cooling system. My mechanic said nothing else was wrong, but....so much burping...

  • very cool :P

  • hey thanks man

  • Nah I think it's supposed to heat up, at least to normal, leave the radiator cap off and just wait till the bubbles stop, then you should be good. :)

  • Isn't this dangerous? Or is it a matter of not letting it run long enough to heat up?
