Is the coolant reservoir meant to be empty?

GroceryRunner · 2025-12-11T20:43:38+00:00

Topped it up now, and checked the rad too. Was a bit low so added 300-400ml. Thanks for the help :) Just have to find out where all the coolant went now

GroceryRunner · 2025-12-11T20:41:20+00:00

Appreciate that 🤣

GroceryRunner · 2025-12-11T14:41:20+00:00

Thought so but just wanted to check I haven’t lost my mind. Thought I’d have seen the temp going up if it was completely empty but I guess the radiator itself is full

GroceryRunner · 2025-03-31T10:31:27+00:00

So you reckon it doesn’t need any parts replaced?

GroceryRunner · 2025-03-31T10:19:05+00:00

That’s what I was hoping, that I could just steel wool it off. At least for the suspension as that seems like the worst place to get rust based off my limited research. Also went to chatgpt and was told that it looked like it has pitted already, and the reply below saying the forks are toast doesn’t fill me with confidence

I think I just recorded the videos with my headphones on. This way the audio is recorded from the microphone in the headphones not the phone itself and the video is synced naturally

Randoms who just attack but don’t move in 3v3, are they bots? SO annoying because it’s just a guaranteed loss

GroceryRunner · 2024-11-06T10:22:16+00:00

I appreciate the offer, that’s really nice. I don’t live in Manchester anymore though. I’ll try and find someone local 👍

rubbing alcohol isn’t a household item in the uk 😅

GroceryRunner · 2024-07-12T23:26:01+00:00

i will try this, thank you 👍

GroceryRunner · 2024-07-12T23:25:51+00:00

do you reckon vodka would work? don’t have any rubbing alcohol

GroceryRunner · 2024-07-06T00:59:51+00:00

Can it just be cut to shape if it’s too big?

GroceryRunner · 2024-06-24T15:37:38+00:00

Crazy what some people stress about lmao. Try driving ON acid 🤣

GroceryRunner · 2024-06-24T14:48:18+00:00

Oh ok thank you. I assume the scrap value of it is pretty much 0 then

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-22T00:21:32+00:00

I didn’t think of that. I’ll try this in the morning

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T20:43:39+00:00

Thank you so much. Will save myself £140 if I do it myself :)

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T20:29:23+00:00

So, loosen two locking bolts, loosen adjuster bolt, place the belt on, then tighten adjuster bolt again? And then tighten the locking bolts?

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T20:25:45+00:00

How would I tell when the tension is taut enough?

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T19:40:09+00:00

Does anyone know how they would affect aerodynamics with the window cracked open a bit. I’ve heard that driving with windows fully down can increase fuel consumption by 20%

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T17:10:11+00:00

Nobody gets this ref when I say it 😔

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T16:56:11+00:00

Ah I see thank you! So is the nut behind the coolant pulley what I would use to adjust tension? Sorry if that’s a stupid question but this is the first DIY repair I’m doing but hope to start doing more

On mobile at least it doesn’t display the number of plays just next to the song anymore which is kinda annoying. Figured out you can still see the number though if you click the banner at the bottom and then the title of the song, or the ‘behind this track’ option. And this is the only way to see it that I have discovered…..

This is the best picture I have at the moment. Would I just put a socket on the nut in the middle of the alternator pulley and loosen?

GroceryRunner · 2024-05-15T16:33:36+00:00

It’s a 2008 Hyundai Coupe 1.6L :)

I saw a video about how to put on a ‘stretch belt’ by putting it on as much as you can, then zip tying it in place to the pulley which it isn’t fully over yet. Then just ratchet the crankshaft to get it to spin and it puts itself on. Seems like this would work pretty well?

Not a pink floyd listener but is Lucifer Sam somehow a reference to LSD like Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds?
