Substitution coolant
According to the recommendations of the manufacturer the coolant must be replaced after 4 years of operation, or 60 thousand. Km (whichever comes first). In addition, if the coolant changed color to a reddish, replace it immediately, because such a change suggests that inhibiting additive to develop and the liquid became aggressive with respect to the details of the cooling system. You will need: coolant, clean rags, containers of not less than 5 liters for the discharged coolant pliers.
WARNINGS Use fluids recommended by the manufacturer (see. Annex 2). Replace the coolant only when engine is cold. The coolant is toxic, so be careful when working with it. |
When starting the engine radiator tank cap must be closed. Tighten the cap tightly. With the engine cooling system is under pressure, so out of poorly wrapped plugs can leak coolant. 1. Place the vehicle on a flat, horizontal surface. |
| | 2. Open the bottle. | 3. Click on the radiator cap, turn it counterclockwise and remove the cap. |
| 4. Place a container under the drain valve opening the radiator, located on the right side of the lower tank of the radiator and opened the tap, drain the radiator. |
HELPFUL ADVICE When draining the coolant pipe put on the drain valve hose of suitable diameter to prevent splashing of liquid under the car floor. |
A WARNING Antifreeze is deadly poisonous to all living things. In order not to pollute the environment, its drain from the radiator through a funnel (for example made of plastic bottles for carbonated water). |
| | 6. Gripping pliers clamp the lower radiator hose, slide the clamp on a hose ... | 7. ... remove the hose from the tank of the radiator pipe and drain the liquid from the engine into the prepared container. |
| 8. In order to ensure complete draining of the system and guarantee the removal of air from it at a gas station, remove one of the choke assembly heating hoses, squeezing it with pliers clamp fastening (photo for illustration done on site remove the throttle). |
9. Install the lower radiator hose. |
10. Close the radiator drain valve. |
11. Fill the engine cooling system, the coolant flooding the radiator until until it comes out of the nozzle to a throttle unit and skimmed hose. At the beginning of leaking fluid hose set into place and fix a collar. |
HELPFUL ADVICE For better removal of air from the system a bit, lift the left side of the car jack. Then fitting the butterfly unit will be the highest point of the system. |
12. Add a liquid into the radiator until until it begins to burst out of his mouth into the hose to the expansion tank. Close the radiator cap. |
14. Start up the engine and let it warm up to operating temperature (up to turn on the fan). After that stop the engine, check the coolant level and if necessary add it to the reserve tank up to ?�F?�. |
NOTE With the engine running, make sure the temperature of the coolant at the sign. If the arrow has reached the red zone, and radiator fan is not turned on, turn the heater and check how the air goes through it. If the heater supplies heated air, then, most likely, fan failure, and if the cold - the engine cooling system formed airlock. To remove it shut off the engine, let it cool down and remove the radiator cap. Start up the engine, let it run for 3-5 minutes and then close the radiator cap. |
HELPFUL HINTS In order to better fill the system with no air pockets periodically prozhimayte hand radiator hoses. After a few days of operation of the car after replacing the coolant Check the level. If necessary, add coolant. If a very short time fresh liquid has changed color to brown, it means that you have filled in the forgery, which manufacturers "forgot" to add corrosion inhibitors. In addition, one of the signs of forgery is a dramatic complete bleaching liquid. Dye coolant of good quality is very resistant, and eventually only darkens. Decolorized liquid methylene blue tinted underwear. This "anti-freeze" should be replaced soon. |
