How to change antifreeze

To replace the cooling fluid on the car, first of all, you need to buy a new one. This rule is equally applicable for any brand and car model. For this purpose, learn the instruction manual for your machine, specify the full volume of coolant in the CU, what brand of antifreeze and antifreeze poured the manufacturer. As a rule, this topic is highlighted in detail, and you first need to find information about the full cooling system. After selecting the necessary version of Tosola and its purchase, you need to replace the liquid.
So, how is the replacement of the exhaust antifreeze?

1
In order for you to be distracted during the antifreeze replacement procedure, prepare everything you need in advance:

  • capacity for draining waste coolant;
  • new antifreeze;
  • distilled water.

Put the car on the overpass, the replacement will pass much easier.

2
We begin to replace antifreeze. The engine must be cooled (off), otherwise there is a chance of getting burns. We find the covered tank cover and unscrew it. Remove the drainage cover without jerks without hurrying. Exhaust antifreeze must be completely merged from the cooling system.

3
When conducting a procedure on a smooth surface, a certain amount of fluid remains in the tank. Therefore, it is important that the back of the car is slightly higher than the front. After complete emptying of the cooling system, screw the drain cover. Now you can wash the system. Install the drain plug in place and make a distillate bay. Its quantity must comply with the manufacturer's recommendations of your car model in terms of antifreeze poured. Tighten the lid of the expansion tank and make a car. After the engine drops the operating temperature, it should be drowning.

4
If the temperature sensor needs to be replaced, make it parallel. If your engine is cooled, you can merge the spent antifreeze and install the sensor. The quality of washing is determined by the purity of distilled water during its drain from the tank, it should not be impurities and small solid particles indicating the corrosion of the body of the case.

5
If distilled water is muddy, repeat the procedure until complete cleaning. In the end, it remains only to fill the system with a new consumable, making sure that the drain hole is reliably closed.

6
The level of antifreeze in the expansion tank must be between the two risks of MAX and MIN. Drive on the car. Pay attention to how the temperature pointer arrow behaves. Overheating should not occur. If the amount of antifreeze separated by the system is insufficient, the result of it.

The work on replacing the coolant is quite simple. You will be quite able to cope with it on your own without contacting the service centers.
