In the steering power steering Rio III. 2012 G.V. Zalita branded fluid PSF-4 green, which can not be interfered with any other liquid, so when replacing be careful. The procedure of shift (displacement) of the hydraulic oil is quite simple, and it can cope with it literally any car owner even alone. In order not to have any difficulties, we suggest seeing visual video about the replacement of liquid Gur Rio 3rd generation.

The required volume in the Kia Rio GUR system is 0.8 liters. oil PSF. The corresponding PSF-3 or PSF-4 specification.

How to replace hydraulic oil in Gura Kia Rio III

In short, the process of replacing the hydrolysis of the car KIA will include such actions:

• pump off the tank with a syringe as much as possible;
• add to full;
• remove from the Tank Floor Hose and send it to another empty packaging; grind the steering wheel there, from the end to the end while the liquid does not fall to the minimum level, then replacing and repeating the actions again;
• how from the return will go fresh, the process can be completed;
• we check the level in the tank to be at the maximum and now turn on the ignition so that the pump is injected itself.

More clearly, how to change the liquid itself in the Gure Kia Rio 3 do it yourself, see the video.

When to change the oil in the Rio hydraulicel 3

The manufacturer claims that the liquid filled from the factory is designed for the entire service life of the car, but experts recommend changing every 3 years or regulated by such signs of loss operational properties Oils like:

• noise when the pump GUR,
• increase the effort applied when turning the steering
• the smell of Gary from the barrel of liquid GUR,
• changing the oil color.

In order for the car's motor of Kia Rio for a long time and was not at risk overheating, it will take careful attitude to the cooling system. This implies timely inspection, replacement of fluid and encouraging components. Everyone knows that "acquaintance" with overheating of the engine attracts the threat to surrender to expensive repairs.

Among especially important procedures Service Regulations present timely replacement Fluids in the cooling circuit. In this article we will tell what coolant is poured into your car.

We affect this topic in relation to the popular Korean Kaia Rio in the third generation. The regulatory requirement of the manufacturer indicates the need for a primary replacement after 210 thousand km or 8 years of operating a car (depending on what happens earlier). Subsequent periodic replacements should be inclined every 30 thousand km or a biennial operational period.

Signs of the need to replace the coolant

Perform the replacement procedure of the specified cooling fluid may be required before, if such circumstances and factors occur:

• there was a start of the process of corrosion of the inner surfaces of the cooling circuit (antifreeze, at the same time, acquires a brownish shade);
• the fluid is observed, which signals kia owner Rio on the fact of the occurrence of the sediment;
• there was a decrease in the density of the liquid, which can be detected by the area.

What antifreeze requires the system in Kia Rio 3?

The manufacturer insists on the use of liquid prepared on the basis of antifreeze. The plant produces a fill of a substance having green color. If there is a need for a plot, it is recommended to make it, also using green antifreezewhich is suitable for use in aluminum radiators. However, you decide which antifreeze to fill.

Antifreeze (non-freezing) is a cooling fluid for cooling circuits, which contains many alcohol-containing substances that are so-called ethylene glycols. They possess such temperature limits:

• the freezing of the substance is observed at minus 70 degrees Celsius;
• boiling occurs when the temperature approached 195 degrees.

What antifreeze would not be chosen for Kia Rio traditionally dilute it with distilled water in compliance with the 55 percent proportion.
Such coolant is capable of boasting already modified characteristics:

• freezing for minus 40;
• boiling with plus 130 degrees.

Recall that the cooling system "Rio" contains 5.3 liters of the liquid under consideration.

Composition of the cooling system in the car Kia Rio

The cooling circuit in Kia Rio implies the presence of such components as.

1. Radiator.
2. Electric fan for auxiliary cooling of preheated cells of the radiator node.
3. Expansion tank serving to compensate for overpressing system.
4. Thermostat. When the fluid temperature is reached in a closed system of 82 degrees, this component sends a fluid current by a large contour (through the radiator). The complete discovery of the inner valve of the thermostat occurs when the temperature threshold is 95 degrees.
5. Pump, providing the circulation of fluid.
6. Nozzles, both rubber and metal.

On the replacement of antifreeze in Rio

This procedure is characterized by simplicity and will not require certain skills, the main thing is to determine what coolant is poured into the car. All manipulations on the Kia Rio machine can be carried out in the usual garage. In terms of convenience, a pit or a lifting is suitable, because plum plugs are constructively located below.

For durable maintenance of the engine required monitor health and fulfill timely maintenance of the cooling system. Because the engine overheating threatens with expensive repairs. One of the procedures maintenance cooling systems KIA Rio-3 is replacing coolant.

According to the regulations, the replacement of the coolant is performed at 210 thousand km of mileage or after 10 years, depending on what comes before. Subsequent replacements should be performed every 2 years or every 30 thousand km.

Signs of need to replace the coolant

Replacing the coolant may be needed much earlier if:

1. Occurred changing the color of the liquid (She began to have a brown tint - a sign of the formation of corrosion foci in the system).
2. Coolant the liquid has become muddy (indicates a stratification or sediment loss).
3. Density decreased Coolant (to determine the density, the range is used).

What coolant in Kia Rio-3

The manufacturer recommends using a cooling liquid based on antifreeze in the cooling system (liquid, filled from the factory, has a green color, it is advisable to use antifreeze of the same color for topping), calculated for aluminum radiators.

Antifreeze (non-freezing)-coolant consisting of polyhydric oily, viscous alcohols - ethylene glycols (freezing temperature -70 ° С, boiling point + 195 ° C). Antifreeze is taken to dilute with water (the antifreeze concentration should be at least 55%), the resulting coolant freezes at -40 ° C and boils in a sealed cooling system at + 130 ° C.

The cooling system of KIA Rio-3 is 5.3 liters.

Cooling system KIA Rio-3

The cooling system in Rio-3 consists of:

1. Radiator
2. Electrical fan.
3. Expansion tank.
4. Water pump (pump).
5. Thermastate (at a coolant temperature of + 82 ° C begins to open, and at + 95 ° C is fully open, ensuring the circulation of fluid by " big circle"(Through the radiator).
6. Hoses and nozzles.

In this video, the principle of operation of the engine cooling system is clearly shown.

Replacing antifreeze in Kia Rio-3

Replacing antifreeze Event fairly simple and not requiring any special skills or special tools. Everything can be done at home. However, it is more convenient to replace the coolant on observation pit or overpass, because Drain plugs are located at the bottom.

Materials and tools:

• A drainage capacity of about 6 liters (any old canister).
• Funnel (suitable carved from an old plastic bottle).
• Rubber pear with a tube or a large syringe (it will be needed to pump fluid from the expansion tank).
• Pliers.
• Rag.

Replacing the coolant is performed when the engine is cooled.

Procedure for the replacement of coolant:

• Turn to the floor of the turnover cover of the filling neck, this will reduce the pressure in the system.
• Room down to the car and unscrew the engine and the shield protecting the left side of the engine from the dirt.

• Submold under the drain hole of the radiator the container for draining the liquid.
• Fully unscrew the cork of the cooling system of the cooling system.

• Partially unscrew drain plug (When the pressure decreases, unscrew it completely).

• After draining from the radiator of all antifreeze, tighten the lid.
• Loosen the clamp on the lower nozzle of the radiator, disconnect it and drain the residues of the liquid from the engine.
• Then connect it into place.
• Pump out the expansion tank old antifreeze and fill fresh just above the mark "L".

• Fill fresh antifreeze into the cooling system until it starts to flick expansion tank. Close the lid.

• Get the car and give it to warm up to turn on the fan (this will allow you to make sure of all the parts of the cooling system).
• Check the level of antifreeze and bring it to the "F" mark (full).

Due to the fact that air traffic jams could be formed in the cooling system, follow the level of antifreeze for the first few days.

If a on the heated engine from the stove does not blow hot air, then this may indicate education in the cooling system air traffic jam.

Antifreeze for Kia Rio. 3

Replacing antifreeze B. machines Kia. Rio 3, according to technical Regulationsmust be made every 45,000 km (by running), or every 3 years (by time of operation). But these general indicators, because in practice, fill new liquid It may be necessary before - when the rusty shade appears in the coolant, in the case of the engine repair or cooling system, when foam appears, scale or explicit precipitate.

What antifreeze is better, and how much to pour it in Kia Rio 3?

The first step, when performing work on the replacement of antifreeze, is the choice of suitable composition. For machines Kia Rio 3, the red cooling fluid of the G12 ++ class is more suitable. The most popular products should be attributed to Glysantin G 40, Castrol Radicool Si, Freecor QR, Motul and others. According to manufacturers, the resource of these antifreezes is from 5 to 7 years.

The required volume of coolant, which is required to pour into the system - about 7 liters. When buying a coolant, note that many antifreeze are sold in the form of a concentrate, and they need to be mixed, in a ratio of 1 to 1 with distilled water.

Replacement process

Before merge antifreeze, stock all necessary for work. You will need a new coolant, clean rag, a standard tool kit, as well as a capacity of more than 7 liters with a capacity.

Note the following points:

• In the process of replacement, use only cooling fluids based on ethylene glycol.
• Before the start of the work, wait until the motor, fully cool. Otherwise, the hot liquid can burn the skin of the hands and body.
• Work in gloves. Remember that antifreeze is a toxic composition.
• When starting the motor, watch the plugs, on an expansion tank and radiator, were closed.
• Pay attention to the tightening of the radiator cork - it should be tightly twisted, because the coolant is under pressure, and, if there is a slot, the composition will be squeezing out of the system.

Drain of antifreeze from radiator

The replacement of antifreeze on Kia Rio 3 machines is made like this:

1. Remove the crankcase protection, as well as the mudguards from the motor.
2. Put the machine on a flat pad. It is best to work on a pit or aleacade. If the car is spoiled, it will complicate the drainage of coolant.
3. Remove the neck plug for the pouring of the coolant in the radiator. To do this, turn it on 90 degrees, after which, remove.
4. Substitute an empty container, under the drain crane of the radiator, mounted at the bottom, on the left side of the node.
5. Remove the plug crane tube, 2-3 turns.

These actions are enough to drain antifreeze from the radiator. Wait until the antifreeze comes out of the radiator, then return the plug from the drain crane and tighten it, with a little effort.

Drain of antifreeze from the engine

To merge antifreeze from engine Kia. Rio3, take the following steps:

1. Squeeze, with the help of pliers, the fastening clamp of the lower tube of the radiator, then shift it.
2. Remove the hose from the nozzle on the radiator tank.
3. Drain the coolant from the motor to the container substituted in advance.
4. Return to the location of the lower radiator hose.
5. Open the tank tube and remove the residual oil from the container. To solve this problem, you can use a rubber pear.

Filling a new antifreeze and air removal from the system

The next step of replacing antifreeze is filling the cooling system. For this:

1. Fill the required amount of coolant into the radiator, through the bulk neck. The signal to the fact that the liquid is sufficient, is the transfusion of antifreeze through the tube to the tank.
2. Close the bulk neck tube.
3. Pour antifreeze into the expansion tank. Act until the fluid reaches the mark F.

Replacement of antifreeze machine Kia. Rio 3 can be considered finished. Now run the motor and wait until working temperature reaches the required mark. After, jamming the motor and make sure that the level of the coolant has not dropped under the lower mark. If so, perform a plot to MAX.

After starting the motor, look at the pointer in the cabin. If the indicator reached the red zone, but the fan did not work, start the heater and check the air that is supplied according to it. If it is slightly warm, the fault lies in the fan, and if the cold - there is a traffic jam in the cooling system. From convulsion it is worth getting rid of. For this:

• Remove the neck stopper.
• Start the engine, leave it for 3-4 minutes.
• Close the cork.

To avoid the appearance of traffic jams, in the process of replacing antifreeze, press several on the radiator hose (hand only).

Exploit the car in normal mode, but 2-3 days after replacement, look at the hood again and check the level. If necessary, make a plot of fluid. Pay attention to the color of antifreeze. If he became brown, it means that the manufacturer did not add corrosion inhibitors. Evidence of counterfeiting coolant is also discoloration. In the first, and in the second case, it is required to drain antifreeze and pour a normal cooling fluid.

The given instruction will help to replace antifreeze, with their own hands, without attracting specialists. As a result, it is possible to save money, and, in the future, to more confidently perform this work, in its Kia Rio 3.
