Repair and car operation

Wait, while the engine will cool down before the beginning a slitiya. Watch that cooling liquid with antifreeze did not get on skin or the painted surface of a body.

Replacement

PERFORMANCE ORDER

1. The system of cooling is checked on the cold engine. Check system to a trip or not less than 3 hours later after an engine stop. 2. Turn a radiator stopper to the left against the stop. If hissing (that testifies to residual pressure in cooling system) is heard, a stopper do not get before complete dumping of pressure. Now press a stopper a palm, tighten to the left and get a stopper. Carefully wash out a stopper pure water, wipe a radiator mouth pure rags. Remove all traces of corrosion. Cooling liquid in a radiator should be transparent. If cooling liquid is painted in color of a rust, system it is necessary to wash out and replace liquid. If level of cooling liquid is lower than edge of a jellied mouth, add a water and antifreeze mix. 3. Check a condition of the top and bottom hoses of a radiator and hoses of a heater which conduct from the engine to a wall of a motor compartment. Examine hoses on all length, at detection of swelling of hoses, cracks and the general deterioration of a condition a hose replace. Cracks are easily found if a hose to press. Irrespective of a condition of hoses it is recommended to change them each two years. 4. Be convinced of durability of all connections. Leakage of cooling liquid can be found on a raid of white or brown color near a place of violation of tightness. If hoses are fixed by wire collars, it is necessary to replace the last with collars with screw fastening. 5. With the compressed air or a brush remove from intercostal spaces of a radiator and the conditioner condenser the remains of insects, plants and extraneous subjects, thus do not injure a radiator or condenser edge. Be careful, as edges have sharp edges. 6. At the subsequent check or in case of abnormal work of system of cooling check a condition of a stopper of a radiator and pressure in system. In the absence of a manometer it is necessary to address in car-care center service where this service will render for the minimum payment. 7. Remove a cap of a broad tank. 8. Remove a protective guard from below the engine if it is necessary, and establish the container for collecting cooling liquid. 9. Turn off a drain cap (shooter) and merge cooling liquid. 10. Establish a cap into place.

Washing of system of cooling

If the system of cooling got littered, it is necessary for washing out.

The gulf of cooling liquid

Cooling liquid with the content of antifreeze

Regularly replace cooling liquid with the content of antifreeze as over time antifreeze loses the anticorrosive qualities.
