Engine Coolant Exchange, removing old coolant from the engine cooling system and replacing it with new. The procedure is necessary to maintain the efficiency of the cooling system and protect the engine from overheating, corrosion and freezing.
Signs that require Engine Coolant Exchange
- Engine overheating
- Discoloration of the liquid.
- Presence of sediment.
- Clogging of hoses and tubes.
- Freezing of liquid.
Timely replacement of coolant solves several important problems
- Formation of corrosion and deposits
Over time, antifreeze loses anti-corrosion additives. This leads to rust and deposits on the walls of the radiator, pump and pipelines. New antifreeze contains anti-corrosion additives that protect the metal from destruction. - Freezing of liquid in winter
Old antifreeze can lose its resistance to low temperatures, which threatens freezing and destruction of the radiator or cylinder block. - Overload of the water pump
Contaminated liquid causes wear of the pump, which can lead to its breakdown and leakage of liquid. New fluid reduces friction and extends the service life of the pump. - Improved heater operation
Provides efficient heating of the cabin in the cold season.
Features when replacing coolant
- Flushing the system.
- Avoid air locks after replacement.
- Avoid mixing incompatible types of antifreeze.
- Maintain the optimum fluid level.
Timely replacement of coolant is an important part of car maintenance, which prevents overheating, corrosion and breakdowns. Regular maintenance helps extend the service life of the cooling system, reduce repair costs and improve engine performance. Careful attention to this procedure ensures the reliability and safety of your car in any operating conditions.
