Filling and Bleeding Cooling System 05 Hyundai Sonata

In this video I take you along as I fill and bleed the cooling system on an 05 Hyundai Sonata 2.7L V-6. The method I'm using will requires a "spill free" funnel such as the one shown in the video. Lisle makes this funnel and it is available for ordering online through various sources. Using this funnel allows for excellent and easy removal of air in the cooling system. Apart from using a vacuum fill system this is the best way to fill the cooling system in my opinion.

As mentioned in the video, it's a good idea to drive the vehicle for a bit and then let it sit (turned off) for 1-2 hours to allow the system to cool down and then check and adjust the coolant level again. Fill the radiator all the way to the top. Fill the coolant reservoir/ overflow bottle all the way to the max level indicated on the side of the coolant reservoir. You to not want to fill the coolant reservoir all the way to the top of the fill neck, fill it to the level shown on the side. Coolant goes into the reservoir and goes out. So, if you over fill it and the radiator gets hot it could overflow.

Guys be careful. Use caution when working around the cooling system. Things get very hot and you could very easily get burned especially if you are not paying attention. Always wear safety glasses or goggles. Wear protective gloves also. (Even if I'm not wearing gloves in the video.) YOU TAKE A RISK NO MATTER HOW CAREFUL YOU ARE OF GETTING SERIOUSLY BURNED OR INJURED WHEN PERFORMING AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Follow the instructions provided in the spill free funnel kit for proper funnel installation.
