•Informative• How to Bleed Coolant on MK5 Supra (And New BMW's) •

[StudioRSR]

Hello everyone,
One of the questions we got consistently, either on IG or here on the forums, is how to properly bleed the system so we figured we would make a video addressing it.

​

The factory Engine Coolant bleed procedure on modern BMW and the MK5 Supra (yes, we already know, the MK5 is a BMW…like it’s a bad thing or what?) is one of the coolest procedures to do; although it does take 10 mins each time, and most of the time requires it to be done 2-3 times to get it fully bled. Especially when you’re changing as many cooling parts like we did on this A90, it’s going to take a lot of bleeding to do it properly.

Should we do more long-form informative vids like this

Yea, how about other maintenance tasks, recommended parts, like spark plug replacement, injector replacement, belts, hoses replacement, other fluid replacement (brakes, clutch, trans, diff), parts that are common failure points with higher milage (gaskets, plastic parts), and suggested maintenance intervals that you find the OEM recommended ones are insufficient.

Oil has been beaten to death here and elsewhere but I'm interested in what you guys think about other items.

I appreciate the reply and that is the plan. We want to share things that we have found and experienced after working on hundreds of these Supras. We are aiming to cover everything from the mundane and basic to the more advanced and in depth.

Thank you

Shoot. I thought the way to do it was replace the turbo and watch all the coolant run out …

Tried it this way but it was about as effective as the "hole in the radiator" method I used in the past.
