Change the water tank, change the bearings, change the spark plug
It’s an old car, and what should be broken will always break. If it is broken, just repair it. No, a few days ago, I accidentally opened the cover and suddenly found that the antifreeze pot was empty. I didn’t pay much attention. I first replenished the inventory bit by bit. It wasn’t enough, so I added some purified water. I opened it the next day and found that it was still empty. So I looked around and found that there was a green wet area above the radiator. So I speculated that there was a problem with the radiator. I consulted the royal consultant and confirmed that it was missing. Thinking about taking advantage of the National Day to go to the royal consultant to change it, I first went to Erdong to buy a bucket of antifreeze. I added 1L for the first time, but it was gone after two days. Fortunately, I didn’t turn on the water temperature alarm, causing serious consequences. I have almost added one bucket in the past few days. I can’t wait anymore. Let’s change it. The car repair shop downstairs asked for the price. It’s okay. I ordered it directly and changed it.
Four or five days later, this was all that was left in a full bucket, and the pot was still empty

It arrived. It was said that it was an off-line product from the original factory and would be guaranteed for a year. Who knows, as long as it is replaced without leaking any leaks. The requirements should not be so high. If the requirements are high, it will cost money.

Change it, put on the wrench, and remove the water pipe
It is indeed old, and the interface breaks when it is removed
Remove the two water pipes below
Remove the water return pipe
Remove the two radiator fixing seats above. Before removing these two seats, first remove a few clips on the front bar. Lift up the baffle. No pictures of removing the clips were taken.

Remove what needs to be removed. Prepare to take out the broken radiator and lift it up.
The entire radiator was removed
There is a lot of dirty things between the radiator and the air-conditioning radiator, and there is a big wet area below.
The green antifreeze that flowed out was not environmentally conscious and allowed it to flow to the ground
Install a new radiator and align the two lower fixing positions
Replace the fixing seat
Start reconnecting the pipes
What happened? The repairman accidentally broke the connection to the radiator while installing the water return pipe
One end was good and the other was bad, and there was no way to do it. It was too late that day, the parts store closed, so we had to wait for the next day.
The antifreeze in the store is only-25. The one I used in my car is-35. While waiting for the pipes one night, I placed an order in Erdong and bought two barrels. The goods arrived the next morning, so I can fill them together when the pipes come back.
The next day, the pipes arrived, and I had to add less than one of the two barrels of antifreeze I bought. I brought the rest back myself. The other barrel that was not opened was asked to return it to Erdong.
