go ahead and bend it a little bit it
go ahead and bend it a little bit it shouldn't kink up or if the duct kink up
shouldn't kink up or if the duct kink up
shouldn't kink up or if the duct kink up it's not going to make a huge difference
it's not going to make a huge difference
it's not going to make a huge difference but if you're if your hose is old and
but if you're if your hose is old and
but if you're if your hose is old and you try to do this you might damage your
you try to do this you might damage your
you try to do this you might damage your whole

whole and you might need to end up replacing
and you might need to end up replacing
and you might need to end up replacing it there we go we got that hose out of
it there we go we got that hose out of
it there we go we got that hose out of the way now we can go ahead and remove
the way now we can go ahead and remove
the way now we can go ahead and remove this lower hose when we remove that
this lower hose when we remove that
this lower hose when we remove that lower hose we are going to have a lot of
lower hose we are going to have a lot of
lower hose we are going to have a lot of fluid spill out so this is the same
fluid spill out so this is the same
fluid spill out so this is the same concept as well you lift the clip up and
concept as well you lift the clip up and
concept as well you lift the clip up and then you can pull the hose off
so there is only water in the whole
so there is only water in the whole
so there is only water in the whole cooling system we're going to try to add
cooling system we're going to try to add
cooling system we're going to try to add as much of the BMW coolant as you can to
as much of the BMW coolant as you can to
as much of the BMW coolant as you can to get as close to a 50/50 ratio now what
get as close to a 50/50 ratio now what
get as close to a 50/50 ratio now what we have to do is there is a clip on the
we have to do is there is a clip on the
we have to do is there is a clip on the bottom of the expansion tank which holds
bottom of the expansion tank which holds
bottom of the expansion tank which holds the expansion tank in so you want to go
the expansion tank in so you want to go
the expansion tank in so you want to go ahead and reach down there pull the clip
ahead and reach down there pull the clip
ahead and reach down there pull the clip straight out towards the passenger side
straight out towards the passenger side
straight out towards the passenger side there's also a sensor a level sensor
there's also a sensor a level sensor
there's also a sensor a level sensor which you can see the wire right here
which you can see the wire right here
which you can see the wire right here this wire right here you want to go
this wire right here you want to go
this wire right here you want to go ahead and disconnect that just like that
ahead and disconnect that just like that
ahead and disconnect that just like that I'll show you the sensor and everything
I'll show you the sensor and everything
I'll show you the sensor and everything once I have the expansion tank pulled
once I have the expansion tank pulled
once I have the expansion tank pulled out so once you have that clip pulled
out so once you have that clip pulled
out so once you have that clip pulled all the way out I'll go ahead and try to
all the way out I'll go ahead and try to
all the way out I'll go ahead and try to get it out all the way to show you guys
get it out all the way to show you guys
get it out all the way to show you guys so here's the clip like I said is the
so here's the clip like I said is the
so here's the clip like I said is the metal one just like all the other clips
metal one just like all the other clips
metal one just like all the other clips you do not have to pull it out all the
you do not have to pull it out all the
you do not have to pull it out all the way like I did you just have to push it
way like I did you just have to push it
way like I did you just have to push it straight out until these two are out of
straight out until these two are out of
straight out until these two are out of the retainer to hold the expansion tank
the retainer to hold the expansion tank
the retainer to hold the expansion tank in so it will just be sitting on the

just a little bit and then in the end
just a little bit and then in the end you can go ahead and open once the car
you can go ahead and open once the car
you can go ahead and open once the car cools back down after we have it warmed
cools back down after we have it warmed
cools back down after we have it warmed up you can go ahead and open that
up you can go ahead and open that
up you can go ahead and open that expansion tank and use some sort of
expansion tank and use some sort of
expansion tank and use some sort of turkey baster or some kind of fluid
turkey baster or some kind of fluid
turkey baster or some kind of fluid extractor to go ahead and take out the
extractor to go ahead and take out the
extractor to go ahead and take out the excess coolant so we're going to go
excess coolant so we're going to go
excess coolant so we're going to go ahead and put a new cooling cap on as

well now in order to bleed the system what
now in order to bleed the system what
now in order to bleed the system what you have to do you have to turn the car
you have to do you have to turn the car
you have to do you have to turn the car on turn it all the way on the heat

make sure the AC is not on just have it all the way on hot
all the way on hot
all the way on hot the highest temperature you can have it
the highest temperature you can have it
the highest temperature you can have it with the fan speed all the way keep the
with the fan speed all the way keep the
with the fan speed all the way keep the car turned on and keep the rest at
car turned on and keep the rest at
car turned on and keep the rest at around two to three thousand rpm and
around two to three thousand rpm and
around two to three thousand rpm and just keep letting it bleed out you don't
just keep letting it bleed out you don't
just keep letting it bleed out you don't want to have the bleeder screw open too
want to have the bleeder screw open too
want to have the bleeder screw open too much you want to have it open about
much you want to have it open about
much you want to have it open about three to four times what that will do is
three to four times what that will do is
three to four times what that will do is it allow all the air to escape once your
it allow all the air to escape once your
it allow all the air to escape once your heat feels nice and hot what you want to
heat feels nice and hot what you want to
heat feels nice and hot what you want to do is you want to come back out go ahead
do is you want to come back out go ahead
do is you want to come back out go ahead and tighten the screw back the bleeder
and tighten the screw back the bleeder
and tighten the screw back the bleeder screw going to close that all the way
screw going to close that all the way
screw going to close that all the way and then just make sure that you still
and then just make sure that you still
and then just make sure that you still have to be in the car and what that will
have to be in the car and what that will
have to be in the car and what that will pretty much show you is that you don't
pretty much show you is that you don't
pretty much show you is that you don't have any air in the system if you only
have any air in the system if you only
have any air in the system if you only have cold air coming out of your vent
have cold air coming out of your vent
have cold air coming out of your vent that means you have some air in the
that means you have some air in the
that means you have some air in the system may need to keep bleeding
