Detailed operation of replacing antifreeze by yourself

September 5, 2024

In the blink of an eye, I have traveled 55000 kilometers in four and a half years. Recently, I considered replacing the antifreeze, but the kettle did not leak! The thermostat is not broken! The water pump is normal! Great! It was only added twice in four and a half years. Some riders said that they would only add it without replacing it. In fact, the anti-corrosion additive will fail and will easily corrode the engine body and cylinder head, water channel, water tank, The price is not expensive, so it would be better to replace it regularly. It is worth noting that the turbine car has a high water temperature, so it is best to use one with a high boiling point. I placed an order and bought Baishitong, with a freezing point of-37℃ and a boiling point of 129℃. It is enough, and it can be mixed with other colors. It arrived one day. After I got it this morning, I opened the box and found it to be fluorescent yellow. It doesn’t matter. Here are the replacements. A few simple photos. I hope they can help everyone.

There is a water release switch under the water tank. You can reach out from the thick pipe next to the battery and touch it, but your fat arms struggle.

I plugged a pipe into the water outlet to facilitate the recycling of old antifreeze and centralized destruction. Antifreeze is toxic and thrown away everywhere, which can easily poison small animals.

Use a self-made small air pump to pressurize the waterway from the mouth of the kettle. One is that the drainage speed is fast, and the other is that it can blow it cleanly.

Put most of the basin

Fluorescent yellow. It looks like fluorescent green to me.

Tighten the drain screw and add new antifreeze. After filling it up, start the car and observe the water level in the kettle.

Bubbles are constantly being expelled

Baishitong added a bucket for the first time, which is 4 liters

cycle

At the same time, turning on the heater, a lot of old antifreeze flowed out

When the water level dropped, I continued to add it, and more than one liter was used

Finally, tighten the lid and remind me that it will be tightened when it is tightened until it is tightened.
The volume of antifreeze is 6.5 liters. Since it was impossible to drain it all out, only more than 5 liters were put in, which was enough.

I have bought repair fluid for the glass that was broken by stones at the highway the day before yesterday. I will try it out and see if it can stop cracking. If it doesn’t work, replace it. If it doesn’t crack, continue to use it. This position will not affect your vision.
