Replacing the coolant, how to replace the cooling fluid

Be careful! To protect yourself from unforeseen events, the engine of the car must cool, only after that the replacement process is carried out. Remember that antifreeze should not get to your face, on the skin, in no case in the oral cavity. Also worth warming the paint coating of the vehicle. The drops that have appeared must be immediately washed off with plenty of water. It is impossible to leave the liquid, randomly spilled on the asphalt, in places where many people. Animals or children can stretch on the smell, and the direct ingress of the substance in the food system contributes to the poisoning of the body, which entails death.

Liquid exemption

After waiting until the engine cools down, the lid of the expansion tank is covered with a rag. After that, the lid is neatly unscrewed. Here you must not rush, listen to the appearing noise. When the pressure be reset, the sound of hissing will be heard. It is necessary that the pressure is completely reset, for this wait until the hiss stops. After that, the lid is unscrewed to the end.

If the situation requires you, make the attachments and remove the engine protection from the bottom. Under the lower radiator hose is set to the required capacity. Next, the clamp fixing the connection is weakened. The hose is disconnected if difficulties arise, it is necessary to move a little from side to side, but very careful not to damage the nozzle. These difficulties arise due to the fact that the design has long been in the same position. After, wait until the liquid stalks to the end. It is worth noting that the radiator has a crane for a drain, but in order to get to it, it is necessary to dismantle the bumper in front.

If AWT and AZM engines, then the locking thermostats are turned off. It is removed, then it takes drain from cylinders. Wait until it is completely stalking. After, the thermostat is set. Using a new seal, install the housing, the bolts are delayed according to the necessary effort.

If the liquid is not merged due to its wear, then it can be pouring it again, but professionals do not recommend this. Drain all the fluid, the hose is installed in place and the clamp is delayed.

The process of cleaning the cooling system

The cooling system after a certain time becomes less efficient.

This is due to the decrease in the amount of antifreeze or using it above the norm. Channels for which the liquid passed is gradually narrowed due to the formation of garbage.

To restore performance, the system needs to rinse. Cleaning the radiator is carried out separately from the engine, thus eliminating additional contamination.

Radiator washing process

Carrying a flushing radiator Frequently from all hoses.

For cleaning, it is necessary to attach to the top nozzle through which the liquid is poured, the hose. After that, the flow of water is started. Cleaning is carried out while the radiator does not completely get rid of all impurities. Water descends through the lower graduation channel.

If it remains dirty during long-lasting water drainage, it is possible to use special cleaning agents that contribute to the complete cleansing of the system.

Before using such funds, carefully learn the description and rules for use installed by the manufacturer.

If there is plentiful pollution, the radiator is dismantled, and the hose is inserted into the lower channel, which is responsible for the output of the water. Thus, the return washing is carried out.

Wash engine

Cleaning, the thermostat is previously removed. The thermostat cover for the time can be installed in its place. Next, the hose from the engine is joined in the upper inlet of the radiator. By connecting the connection, water starts. Passing through the engine and radiator, wait until dirty water begins to go out of the lower radiator hose. Washing the engine, the thermostat and hoses are installed back.

The process of refueling the cooling system

Before refining the cooling system, make sure the quality of the compounds and the prolongedness of the clamps. It should be remembered that the use of antifreeze should be carried out during the year, only this can be avoided by corrosion.

Loosen the mount and slightly shift the feed hose with respect to the nozzle on the partition to the distance that would allow the air hole opening not to be on the nozzle. But it is not necessary to disconnect it completely.

The expansion tank, located in the motor separation, is disconnected, for this you need to unscrew the screws fixing it. The tank is raised by 10 cm and is fixed in this position. To do this, you can use wooden bar.

The cover located on the neck for the bay is removed and the system is poured into the system for cooling. The fill should be performed as slowly enough so that the liquid flows uniformly, without bouffaging in the tank.

When replacing a replacement, about 2 liters of water is poured first, then the required level of antifreeze and after, to the end, water is poured.

Pouring continues until the moment when the liquid starts to be cooked from the hole that is responsible for the air outlet on the heater hose. Then the hose returns to the previous position, and the clamp, fastening it, is delayed.

To eliminate air, which was formed in the system, with increasing the amount of fluid in the tank, hold the radiator hoses. When the air is removed completely, the liquid fills up to the maximum mark. The cover of the tank is installed and after, the tank is fixed in its place.

Get the car. For 3 minutes, it is necessary for it to work in idle mode, the usual mode is set. So now the hose located below is not heated.
Do not forget to check, in those places where the disconnection of the elements was conducted to prevent possible leaks. The amount of coolant is set. If it is not enough, the level rises to the required volumes. But know that the exact level is set after cooling the system. If the engine is warm, then to turn off the tank cover, it is necessary to cover it with a piece of velocity and scroll down a bit so that the pressure began to decline. The lid is unscrewed to the end when the pressure is completely folded. This can be understood after the cessation of hiss.

Remember! The lid is not removed when the hot engine!
