The constant renewal of cooling water is simply needed in the car for its usual work, it knows every chauffeur. But through how much km and time must be changed antifreeze? We will try to give deployed answers to this and other questions. To avoid overheating of the motor, all manufacturers of TCs advise to change fluid through each 45 thousand km. Mechanics per 100 say that it is best to change it once a year, so that corrosion on the walls of the radiator are not created. But this is faster than outdated advice, because once a year new modern funds arise in the market, which are enough for mileage from 100 to 250 thousand square meters. But it means, the antifreeze substitution interval will be even greater. But manufacturers argue that the newest coolant is worth pouring exclusively into the clean system so that it is not mixed with the remnants of the past, on another its physico-chemical characteristics will decrease. That is why the replaceability of antifreeze is greenish on pigeons, even if one brand is not recommended.

Now you understand, with what frequency need a complete replacing antifreeze. When buying a means, it is necessary to deal with what the timing of its action depends. The thing is that in this form of products there are anti-corrosion additives such as borats, phosphates and silicates. While they are present in the liquid, it is not necessary to change it. But with a decrease in the anti-corrosion properties of substances, the radiator and the engine begin to be exposed to electrolyte corrosion. Note that this process is especially dangerous for aluminum engines. Thus, the parts of the engine can be raised quickly, and the Swiss cheese will be reminded externally. Before buying in the company, the heat technology consultant will always prompt which frequency of antifreeze replacement in the cooling system to prevent corrosion processes in it.

How to determine visually when it is worth producing this procedure? You can make a test by special test strips. They can be found almost all manufacturers. When contacting the cooler, the strip is painted in a specific color. And with the scale of the scale, you or the master on a hundred can understand the status of the composition and decide whether to pour a new portion. You can do it, as you understand, and on your own. The only moment this process is better to exercise away from animals and children. Although this product is not considered dangerous for people, but still toxicity is in the minimum extent. We add that in no case thump residues in the streams or rivers, as well as next to water sources with speakers or wells.

So, when it is time to change antifreeze on the antifreeze, we have already understood. Consider the replacement process itself. It costs it when the engine is in a cold condition, and on a hot engine such a procedure is dangerous. Remove the radiator lid, then find its drain cover, open and apply the container below it. Drain the remnants and then do the inspection of the cooling system hoses so that there are no breaks and cracks. If necessary, change the hoses. Next, rinse the system to have all sediments, rust and fat, which are so easy to remove ordinary water. To do this, use a special tool for flushing. Pouring it into the radiator, add to demineralized and deionized water to the very edges and close the lid.

The next step turn on the stove and the engine and wait until they get warm. After that, turning off them and let it cool, and then remove the cover from the radiator and drop the entire mixture from it, and then fill in the system of ordinary water, close the radiator with the lid again and turn on the engine for 15 minutes. Give it to cool, drain the water from the cooling system and only then you can pour a new tool.

Express replacement Antifreeze from CJSC Heat Technology

Express replacing antifreeze Can be made according to plan, early and in unforeseen cases. In the company, the technology of heat to you with the help of modern equipment will help to produce express fill a new product professionally and quickly. Our specialists know where to connect equipment to replace antifreeze so that the cooling system does not happen. With a classic scheme in 60% cases, the old cooling fluid is partially remained in the radiator if it is easy to merge. It happens that the drain bolt sticks and can break down if producing a fill from the engine block head. Our employees can produce complete and thorough flushing of the cooling system in just 40 minutes. At the same time, they will hold its diagnosis at the same time. The cost of replacing the antifreeze G11 G12 on the service is not very high, so boldly trust this procedure to the experimental mechanics!

If you are interested, then there is one defining factor that the tank must be filled completely to the maximum mark. Mix cooling fluids is undesirable, even if they are released at one factory. Therefore, immediately reserve the necessary volume. Any master can tell you when you need to change the antifreeze Kulstr at the console, but at the same time we will advise you to prefer one brand. To the question can be changed antifreeze On domestic Tosol, the answer will be the same. Due to the fact that the composition may be different, it is better not to do this and not risk.

When you decide to produce a coolant update procedure yourself, the main thing is thoroughly rinse the radiator to avoid mixing liquids, so you get rid of the channel from clogging channels with precipitations and fat and protect against corrosion. Dilute concentrate should be distilled with water in proportion 1: 1, then the temperature range will be set. Read carefully on the packaging instructions for use and mixing and, only then proceed to action. The cost of replacing antifreeze in this case will cost you in a small amount, as you will produce on your own. But we note that the replacement price of toosol and antifreeze on the service of our professionals is also a fully accessible service.

Why are our customers always satisfied with cooperation?

The heat technology company offers its customers a complete list of products of leading manufacturers of lubricating agents for cars of different brands. We can also help with the fill of the new fluid, we will produce this work quickly, and in the next couple of years you will completely forget about this issue. Our specialists can always suggest whether the complete replacement of antifreeze is needed on Japanese cars or freight vehicles. How often it is worth producing it and how to pay attention to the products of which manufacturer.

Timing replacing antifreeze Fully depend on what color the composition you will choose, and it is selected with what metal is made of a cooling system and a brass, copper or aluminum engine. Pour the tool always on the manufacturer's recommendation, usually this information is located on the label. Its concentration in the system should not be greater than 70%, the ideal option is to be a mixture with water 50% by 50%. A few days later, it is desirable to check the level of coolant in the system and if necessary, add it.

A detailed answer to the question is better - you can find out by reading the article by our specialist.

Detailed information on how to properly breed, you can learn from the material of our expert.

The operating volume of the coolant depends on the design of the cylinder block, the installed radiator and the pipeline. Replacing the coolant is an important procedure that is performed in conjunction with the washing of the cooling system.

Why it is necessary to change the coolant

Antifreeze differs from the distilled water of the boiling point and the speed of heat intake from the block walls. The fluid in the cooling system is periodically changed, as it is designed for a specific resource, passing which the anti-corrosion and functional properties of the coolant are lost.

Check the level of coolant in the expansion tank. The liquid gradually turns away and it must be replenished periodically.

The replacement is carried out and when the cooling system is contaminated. The radiator and nozzles are gradually clogged, which can lead to the occurrence of cork. The engine can overheat and swap due to the cooling system driving:

• corrosive particles and dust;
• sediments of salts on the inner channels of the radiator and block;
• blockage of pipes with oxidation sediment.

The expansion tank of the engine cooling system is used to control the level of coolant. Performing a timely transshipment of fluid, pay attention to the visual state of antifreeze. Signs for replacement: Change color, consistency, the appearance of a muddy precipitate and solid particles.

When it is necessary to change the cooling fluid

The replacement is carried out after the passage of a certain kilometer - 40-50 thousand km. When passing, it is checking the level of coolant in the tank and conduct a visual inspection to impurities (read what it is). Lounge and changing the shade indicates extraneous enclosures in a coolant or change in the properties of the composition.

About the need to clean the cooling system and replace the coolant - indicate a number of features that are reflected in the change in the operation of the car:

• frequent overheating and boiling coolant;
• permanent DVS work at the critical temperature (the water sensor shows the maximum readings);
• interruptions when starting a heated engine;
• changing the response of the rheostat and problems with the operation of the pump.

If such situations occur or change the shade of the cooler to the reddish - the cooling system must be clearly cleaned and change the coolant.

Having passed a certain kilometer or rearing problems in the cooling system - it is necessary to pass the car maintenance. You can visit the service station or perform the process itself. How to replace the cooling fluid?

Replacement is carried out on a cooled engine and using protective agents.

For the procedure, you will need:

• tool kit - screwdrivers and keys,
• capacity for draining testing,
• rubberized gloves
• additives for washing,
• new coolant - distilled water, toosol or other antifreeze.

The car is installed on an inclined pad or overpass - in this position, the liquid flows from the system.

The procedure is carried out as follows.

1. Set the container under the draining of the old coolant.
2. Remove the radiator nozzle.
3. Remove the valve on the flow control tank. After a complete devastation of the system, the remains of the cylinder block are drained.
4. Removing the dust shield, open the crane on the interior heater machine (for pumping pipelines).

Drain all spent antifreeze - switch to the preparation of washing composition.

Flushing radiator

To clean the technological channels from oxidative precipitate and rust use special chemical additives or folk detergents. It is possible to remove salt deposits with citric acid, soda and even cola.

To prepare the compositions carefully examine the instructions. Additives are mixed in certain proportions, and the period and method of washing - differs in terms of the exposure to the reagent in the system.

Stages and washing sequence:

• make a solution
• fill the system and close the drain holes,
• run and warm the engine - according to the mode specified in the instructions of the additive.

Having worked for a while (up to 30 minutes or passing 10 - 15 km) - Wait for the engine cooling.

For more information on how to drive, read in the article of our specialist.

You can read about the features of checking and repairing in the material of our author.

Filling fresh antifreeze

Before the fill of the new coolant, the elements of the pipeline are checked for integrity (cracks and wear). Some rubber hoses, clamps and sealing pads need to be replaced.

Do not forget about the likelihood of air traffic jams - from filled to complete air bleed.

The sequence of stages is as follows.

1. The radiator is washed with water from old additives and the remaining climb.
2. Connect the car heating system.
3. Pull up a couple of liters of distilled water, and after - the antifreeze is gradually poured.
4. Filling is carried out before the fluid exit from the technical channels.

After the completion of the work, before starting the engine, check the system fill level and tightly close the filling tank cover.

At the final stage, nozzles on the clamps are fixed and the engine starts. At elevated circulation (about 3 min) there is a complete circulation of antifreeze in the system. Subsequent control is performed after the cooling of the engine, when the pressure in the system decreases. If necessary, tighten the antifreeze into the expansion tank to the average.

Cooling fluids presented in the market

G12. - has the admission of compliance with VAG TL-774D, and is the earliest possible development (end of the 90s of the last century). Currently, under the brand VAG is not available.

G12 +. - has the admission of conformity VAG TL-774F. Designed in 2001, completely replaces antifreeze G12, has a package of additives. Produced under the brand VAG and was used for the first fill until 2008.

G12 ++.- has the admission of compliance VAG TL-774G. Designed in 2006. Completely replaces antifreeze G12 and G12 +, has its own original set of additives that allow the use of antifreeze during the entire service life of the car. Available under the VAG brand, as well as several third-party manufacturers, both in the form of a concentrate requiring dilution and as ready to use coolant. It can be mixed with early tolerance antifreeges (G12, G12 +), provided that the mixture will be operated according to the requirements of the earliest of the tolerances.

Class antifreeze G13 appeared in 2012. They are fundamentally different from all previous ones, because instead of a poisonous ethylene glycol base, have a harmless and environmentally friendly propylene glycol basis. From a technological point of view, antifreeze G13 is equivalent to antifreeze on an ethylene glycol-based G12 ++, and no advantages (except for environmental purity) has no time. Antifreeze G13 can also be addressed to the system with antifreeges G12, G12 +, G12 ++.

Why change antifreeze in VW Polo?

During operation VW Polo, the coolant is heated to very high temperatures - over 100 degrees Celsius. In winter, during the parking, the antifreeze temperature sometimes lowers up to minus 30-35 degrees.

Due to the larger temperature drops, the coolant loses its properties over time, and this in turn can negatively affect the operation of the VW Polo engine. That is why it is recommended to replace antifreeze in the VW Polo sedan every three years or after 90 thousand km of run.

How to check the level of antifreeze in the polo expansion tank?

The coolant system is refilled through the flap of the expansion tank. The expansion tank is fixed in the engine compartment on the bracket of the right cup of the amortized rack. The tank is made of translucent plastic, which allows you to visually monitor the coolant level in the tank. It is necessary to constantly maintain the level of antifreeze between MIN and MAX marks.

Expansion tank VW Polo Sedan: 1 - bulk hose fitting; 2 - labels of the minimum and maximum fluid levels; 3 - the bay neck; 4 - steam-haired hose fitting; 5 - Bach fastening bracket.

What antifreeze is flooded in Polo 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014?

In the VW Polo sedan, produced by 2012 at the factory, the manufacturer flooded antifreeze G12, G12 +, G12 ++. Starting from 2012, the manufacturer uses antifreeze G13. It fully corresponds to previous tolerances, but has a harmless and environmentally friendly propylene glycol base.

When to change antifreeze VW Polo sedan?

Antifreeze in the engine cooling system VW Polo sedan is recommended to change every 3 years of operation or after 90,000 miles of run.

In addition, antifreeze is changed in cases:
- replacement of the cooling radiator;
- Engine replacement.

Partial replacement of antifreeze (topping) is required in cases:
pump replacement (water pump);
replace nozzles.

Original antifreeze for VW Polo Sedan

Currently, the manufacturer produces antifreeze for VW Polo Sedan G13 brand. Here are the original concentrate numbers and a mixture of coolant:

G 013A8JM1 - coolant concentrate (1.5 liters)
G 013A8JM8. - coolant concentrate (60 liters)
G 013A8JM9. - coolant concentrate (210 liters)
G 013774M2. - finished mixture of coolant (1.5 liters)

How many antifreeze liters need to be fully replaced in a sedan polo?

To completely replace antifreeze in the VW Polo engine cooling system, a 5.6 liter of the finished mixture is required. A mixture of coolant is prepared from antifreeze concentrate and distilled water in proportion 40:60. By simple mathematical calculations, it can be understood that the 1.5-liter capacitance of the concentrate must be dissolved by distilled water in a volume of 2 liters of 250 milliliters. As a result, we obtain 3 liters of 750 milliliters of the finished coolant. Consequently, of the two and a half liter bottles of the concentrate will be seven and a half liters of fluid. After we fill in the system of 5.6 liters of the mixture, there will be another 1.9 liters, which can be used for the subsequent topping, because Over time, a slight piece of fluid evaporates.

In order not to mess with mins and pipettes, you can simply dissolve a distilled water concentrate one to one. It does not damage the cooling system VW Polo, but only a little increase the flow rate of antifreeze. At the same time, you will save a lot of time and nerves.

Tosol or antifreeze? What is the cooling fluid in VW Polo?

Do not confuse or compare Tosol and antifreeze. Tosol is a type of antifreeze designed in the Soviet Union for VAZ cars. This does not mean that Tosol is not suitable for VW Polo, but the manufacturer prescribes the antifreeze of G12, G12 ++, G13 in the engine cooling system.

But, most likely, this recommendation will soon become obsolete. Because it was not so long ago manufacturers of antifreezes posted on the shelves of stores such antifreeze, which will ensure the operation of the motor for 100,000 km, this formula, according to chemists, is the latest novelty. But is it necessary a complete substitution of antifreeze? According to manufacturers - yes! In particular, if you are going to pour a completely new product to the system. Because when the old antifreeze is mixed with the new, anticorrosive characteristics of the latter, will be reduced.

How many antifreeze will work in the system, depends only on how many anti-corrosion additives (silicates, phosphates and borates) contains. While these three substances are bred in antifreeze, it is not certainly changed. But in the case when the number of these anti-corrosion substances is reduced, the radiator and the engine will be susceptible to electrolyte corrosion. An extraordinary danger is for engines with duralumin parts. If antifreeze of anti-corrosion substances are not sufficiently part of the motor that are made of aluminum can reincarnate in Swiss cheese. Based on this, antifreeze should be changed before the start of corrosion processes.

One of the methods with which you can check whether to change the antifreeze in the system will test it with the help of special tests tests. Such bands are on sale in almost all stores selling antifreeze. When the strip contacts the antifreeze - it changes the color according to which, based on a special scale, you can realize what state from your antifreeze, and whether it has time for its substitution.

Antifreeze can be changed and. To do this, find a suitable place, away from kids and animals. Because antifreeze is toxic, with it you need to work as careful as possible, observing certain security measures. To merge the antifreeze in the streams or the river is categorically prohibited, it is also not recommended to pour it into Earth near the sources of water supply and wells.

Change the antifreeze only on the cooled engine. On a hot engine, it is not safe. You need to find and remove the radiator lid. Then open the drain lid of the radiator, for earlier you need to put a huge bucket. Antifreeze will connect. After that, you need to look at the system hoses for breaks and cracks. If so, there are hoses to change on integers.

Before the system is to fill a new antifreeze, it needs to be washed, because it could remain rust or fat, also other deposits that could easily remove water. For high-quality washing there are certain chemical substances. In the radiator, you need to pour the entire bottle of cleaning agent, after that add to demineralized or deionized water. Cover close.

The subsequent step will be included on the maximum stove and wait until the engine is heated to the temperature applicable to work. After that, the engine must be turned off and give it to cool, then open all the covers and drain the water.

Further, in the system to pour ordinary water, cover the cover and turn on the engine for another 15 minutes. The engine again needs to be cooled, drain the water from the cooling system. Only after such a high-quality washing you can fill a new antifreeze.

Antifreeze stands in coordination with those advice that producer gives. Antifreeze in the system should not be very concentrated (its component should not exceed 70%), and the flawless finals will pour antifreeze and water into the system in equal amounts. After the new antifreeze was chosen into the system, it must be moderately distributed. It is done to pain simply: turn on the engine and heating at full power, wait for some time. This procedure will also help remove air bubbles from the cooling system. Do not forget after a certain number of days to check the level of antifreeze in the cooling system, if it is missing, the antifreeze should be addressed to a permissible mark.

When you pour into the system of the liquid of the brand, which was earlier, then merge the existing antifreeze and make the flushing without fail, but better. If the antifreeze you wish to use another brand, then the answer to the question: "Is it necessary to change the antifreeze for a hundred percent?" It will be natural. It is necessary in order to avoid an unpredictable act of mixing additives.

Antifreeze or Tosol are used in the cooling system of each car. Regardless of the basis of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, the liquid has been made in it contains the proportion of water and additional additives that have antioxidant, antiphen and other properties. After aging, the coolant refrigerant must be replaced, since part of the coolant elements (coolant) loses its characteristics.

The instruction manual contains recommendations for the replacement of antifreeze, but there are generally accepted rules that will help you figure out how to correct antifreeze. First of all, we'll figure it out with the frequency of replacement of coolant.

How often it is necessary to change antifreeze

Most of the guides for motorists are written that antifreeze should be changed every 40-45 thousand mileage kilometers. But, in fact, in this question, it is necessary to repel from the type of coolant and its classification. For example:

• Class G 11 fluids designed for machines released until 1996 are distinguished by a short shelf life, which is 2-3 years.
• Antifreeze G 12, recommended for cars issued from 1996 to 2001, will last longer - 5 years.
• The G 12+ coolant, which is used for cars released after 2001, also has a five-year shelf life.
• G 12 ++ and G 13 liquids are rarely used for domestic auto industry, but they also have a long shelf life.

Useful! If you mix different types of refrigerants with the same basis, then their shelf life is automatically reduced to 2-3 years.

As you can see, much depends on the class of the coolant, as well as the basis on which the fluid was made. Ethylene glycol is toxic and for a long time decomposes, as a result of which corrosion appears on parts of the cooling system. Therefore, the refrigerants of this type are recommended to change more often. Propylene glycol is considered an environmentally friendly rapidly decomposing product, so that it serves longer. Therefore, the period for replacing the fluid can leave from 40,000 to 200,000 kilometers.

To determine what time it has come to change the antifreeze, it is enough to purchase a special tester strip that you will find in any auto parts store. Another option is to look at the service book of your car, there must be a change period of coolant.

To replace antifreeze, it is necessary to prepare everything necessary: \u200b\u200b"Fresh" liquid, distilled water for washing, gloves, a bulk funnel and a drain container. After that, you need to merge the old coolant.

How to merge antifreeze

To replace all the rules, it is necessary to drain antifreeze from the engine, the radiator and the car heating system of the car. To do this, you need to drive the car to the slope, a hole or use the jack, so that the front of the car is raised. Next, it is necessary to wait until the motor will cool the motor so as not to burn. After that, make the following manipulations:

• Unscrew the lid of the expansion tank. At the same time, it must be smoothly rotated counterclockwise until it stops to reset the residual pressure in the system. Then you can completely remove the lid.
• Install the prepared container for the drain under the drain plug (on different models of cars it can be on the engine and on the radiator). Then open the drain crane located at the bottom of the radiator, and drain the old coolant.

• Close the drain cranes and fill clean distilled water into the system. It is important to remember that it is impossible to pour cold water into a hot "engine".
• Tighten all the plugs, but leave the expansion tank in the open state.
• Get the engine for 5-10 minutes to rinse the cooling system. In this case, all heating devices in the machine must operate at maximum power.
• Drain the water and repeat this step until the fluid is linked light and clean. Specialized flushing compositions can also be used for flushing.

After that, you can spin the drain bolt and go to the next step.

How to pour antifreeze into the cooling system

In order to pour a new antifreeze, the car can be removed from the jack, but before that, be sure to check how reliably the drain bolt is spinning.

Before pouring the antifreeze into the car, make sure that the cooling system is sealed, all elements are intact and function normally. Depending on the time of year, the cooling fluid can be diluted with water to one degree or another. After that, follow these steps:

• Remove the lid from the plug-in the expansion tank.
• Very slowly start pouring a cooling liquid with a thin flowing.
• For different models of the car, a different amount of antifreeze is required. In order not to "miss", pay attention to the translucent wall of the expansion tank, on which there is a mark "Max". She just tells how much the antifreeze is.

• Tightly tighten the fuel cap.
• Get the engine and warm the machine to the standard operating temperature. First, the fan of the car cooling system will start working, and as soon as it turns off - this will indicate that the temperature regime has reached its norm.
• Turn off the motor and wait until it completely cools.
• Check that antifreeze in the tank is enough. If the fluid level dropped, the result of the coolant to the desired mark.

This is the standard precipitation procedure and replace antifreeze, but before any manipulations, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations. In some situations, antifreeze is poured both into the expansion tank and in the neck of the radiator. Other models of machines are equipped with unsolved radiators and therefore liquid can only be poured into the tank. In addition, some car enthusiasts are often confused by an expansion tank and washer, so be sure to consider the possible design features of your car and follow the following advice.

When replacing antifreeze, you will be helped by the following recommendations and cautions:

• Solving how much antifreeze needed, consider that the fluid level in the radiator must reach the lower cutting of the neck (if the coolant is poured into it).
• When working with antifreeze, be extremely careful, pour it away from children. It is advisable to do everything in the fresh air to inhale as few steams of ethylene glycol.
• If the fluid hit the open part of the body into the eye or another mucous membrane, immediately wash this place with clean water.
• Do not allow the spray of antifreeze to get into the painted parts of the car body. Especially if you use liquid with the addition of silicates or on the basis of aggressive ethylene glycol. In case of entering the coolant, there may be a diverse paint, so if this happened - rinse the surface with a large volume of water.
• Toxic fluid components are dangerous for people and animals, so always close the container with the composition.
• If you use the same antifreeze from one manufacturer, then wash the cooling system is optional. This procedure is principled only when switching to the characteristic type of coolant.
• If you use concentrate, and not ready for liquid, remember the proportions. In the summer, you can add more water to the composition (1: 1), since it will fire to evaporate faster. In winter, it is impossible to add so much water, since under the influence of low temperatures it will lead to freezing of the liquid. As a result, the expansion tank can burst.

In custody

Before replacing any fluid in the motor vehicle, be it engine oil or antifreeze, be sure to take into account the composition of the liquid that must respond to the requirement of your car. A poor-quality or inappropriate product can lead to rapid wear of parts and subsequent expensive repairs.
