About how important it is in Russia to use antifreeze, and how important it is timely replacement, neither a driver with many years of experience, nor a beginner will argue. However, not everyone is familiar with which liquid is better to use on Renault Logan 2 and how to fill it correctly (procedure on foreign cars latest models slightly different from domestic cars). In this regard, the masters of our car service will tell you more about this.

When antifreeze has become unusable on Renault Logan 2 - replacement is necessary

When to replace this car?

The manufacturer recommends changing the anti-freeze fluid after every 90 thousand kilometers. Though latest brands allow you to increase this period (up to hundreds of thousands), you should trust your eyes more, that is, check. If the color of the antifreeze has changed, do not pull. This can happen in a couple of years - it all depends on the condition fuel system and cooling systems and their operating conditions.

The fact that the resource of the old fluid is exhausted is indicated by its color and smell:

1. Antifreeze becomes cloudy and darker.
2. A sharper smell will come from it.

What is used by the master to replace antifreeze, except for the liquid itself? Tools that are listed below:

• pliers;
• screwdriver;
• standard set of keys;
• container for draining old antifreeze;
• protective gloves (you can just fabric, but rubber is better);
• funnel for the bay.

Also, an experienced craftsman will always have a rag or rag on hand. Compliance with cleanliness and accuracy in this matter is one of the primary tasks.

But the main thing is not so much the presence of the tool itself as experience. This will eliminate mistakes that lead to sad consequences.

What happens if the wrong fluids are used?

To increase the effect, some motorists who independently replace antifreeze allow mixing different types... It is highly discouraged to make a mixture of organic and carboxylic acids. Example: in our car service, they will never mix G-11 and G-12. At the request of the client, a mixture of G11 and G12 + can be prepared. Otherwise:

1. The service life of the fluid itself is reduced.
2. Over time, the risk of corrosion increases, which can lead to dire consequences:
   • breakdown of the thermostat;
   • clogging of radiators and engine channels;
   • wear on bearings and water pump impeller, etc.
   • the engine will overheat, which means it will wear out, lose power and consume more fuel.

How is the coolant replaced on Renault Logan 2 in our car service?

It is unlikely that the motorist is familiar with some of the nuances of the operation itself, or he will be able to carry out some stages on his own. For example:

1. When draining old antifreeze onto Logan 2, a problem arises - a small sediment remains in the radiator. Our car service uses its own secrets for complete removal: flushing, wringing out the clamps, purging the tank and thermostat with a compressor. The system will be clean. After emptying, new clamps are usually installed.
2. A special tool is used to reduce pressure, remove the protection of the engine, clutches, etc., and also to speed up the process.
3. After pouring a new liquid and adding it after running through the system, the masters remove excess air from it so that there are no jams and no temperature jumps.

DANGEROUS! If the car enthusiast does this on his own, then when removing the blockage of the tank to reduce the pressure, he risks scalding his hands with heated antifreeze.

The selection of antifreeze for replacement also requires experience.

For the first Logans, TOTAL antifreezes were used (GLACELFAUTOSUPRA TM), for the second generation, when delivered to the market, GLACEOLRX Type D from the ELF brand is poured. It is initially diluted with distillate. The manufacturer recommends both of these types for filling Logan 2 with 1.4 or 1.6 liter engines. The filling volume of the system corresponds to 5.5 liters.

A little more detail about the "D" type. It complies with the G-12 standard:

• Cool Stream 4030 Premium;
• Glacelot RX (Type D).

They can be either ready-made or in the form of concentrates.

If a concentrate is used, it is diluted in advance with distilled water. Our car service offers liquids that remain effective after dilution of 50x50 to 40 degrees of frost. If the average ambient temperature in winter is different, the master can change the ratio of proportions.

Renault Logan 2 requires about 3 liters for dilution, or 6 liters of ready-made liquid. She and the distillate itself comes to a car service from an authorized dealer.

FOR REFERENCE: The color of the antifreeze used to replace it does not speak of its quality - it can only mean marking. One and the same liquid can be yellow, red, or green. Manufacturers use coloring for their products only so that the consumer can distinguish brands.

Low prices and quality assurance

There are some nuances that affect the effectiveness of the procedure. For example, a specialist never starts replacing antifreeze at the same minute when the car is delivered to a car service. The engine must completely cool down during operation.

Also, excess pressure in the system is eliminated before replacement. A container for draining is placed under the removed pallet. And without observing safety precautions, you can easily get injured.

And besides, for self-repairs the search for the necessary materials is inevitable, the question arises about the advisability of using one or another antifreeze for a particular car model, the loss of money and time.

All this can be avoided by contacting a car service.

• professionals work in their field;
• antifreeze liquid is selected without errors from the catalog;
• the procedure itself takes a little time;
• the next replacement of antifreeze will be required very, very long time ago;
• additionally, at your request, diagnostics and repair of other units and mechanisms can be carried out;
• all work is guaranteed.

First, let's define the concept of Antfreeze and some of its aspects. Antifreeze is any liquid that does not freeze like water at 0 ° C.

All antifreezes are initially colorless (the manufacturer adds a dye to "identify" the liquid). The color of antifreeze does not affect its chemical properties. For Renault Logan, Sandero, for example, manufacturers make green antifreeze.

Lubricating properties are provided by the base component of antifreeze - ethylene glycol.

In chem. the composition of modern antifreezes, as a rule, includes: ethylene glycol, water (distilled) and additives. Ethylene glycol and water make up about 95% of the liquid volume, the rest is occupied by additives, and the quality of antifreeze depends on the additives.

In our store you will find Antifreeze for Logan, Sandero either in the form or in the form. Antifreeze concentrate contains only one chemical. component - ethylene glycol. To prepare a ready-to-use liquid, mix the concentrate with distilled water in a 50:50 ratio. Ready-to-use liquids already contain the correct amount of distilled water.

In Renault Logan, Sandero, Type D antifreeze is poured from the plant. According to the replacement of the coolant every 90 thousand km.

For complete replacement coolant in Renault Logan, Sandero cars requires 8-9 liters of ready-made antifreeze (depending on engine size) + 1 liter for top-up.

Do not try to save on coolant - the risk is too great.

Antifreeze is a coolant that is essential for proper engine operation. vehicle as well as the entire cooling system. For these reasons, the level of antifreeze must be monitored and replaced as needed.

What antifreeze to fill in Renault Logan 1.4 and 1.6

Coolant usually has bright colors, which are determined solely by the added colorants, but not by the composition of the liquid. Antifreezes are sold exclusively in two forms: in the form of a ready-made solution and in the form of a concentrate. In the first case, antifreeze can already be used, and in the second it is not, since there is a need for dilution with water.

Coolant is poured into Renault Logan, which belongs to category D. Do not allow a mixture of two different antifreezes, that is, before filling, you need to thoroughly flush the cooling system. For the Renault Logan model, six to eight liters of antifreeze are needed - it all depends on the engine size this car.

Official dealer Renault recommends purchasing an ELF coolant - GLACEOL RX, which is designed just for this car brand... It should be diluted one to one. This brand of antifreeze is suitable for both 1.4 and 1.6 engines. Also, the experience of car owners shows that ELF - COOLELF AUTO SUPRA fluid works well. When assembling Renault Logan models, the developers use COOL STREAM 4030 Premium antifreeze, which belongs to the highest class of carboxylate coolants.

The antifreeze remaining after the filling should be left, because, later, it can come in handy if, for some reason, the level of the coolant in the system drops.

How to add antifreeze to Renault Logan

To pour in this brand car new antifreeze, you will definitely need the following tools:

• Spanner keys
• Pliers
• Screwdriwer set
• Container for draining the spent coolant
• Funnel for filling new antifreeze
• Various rags to eliminate smudges

Naturally, it is recommended to perform such work using inspection pit... If this is not possible, then the replacement should be done while lying down under the car. Immediately it should be warned that the engine must be cold by this time.

It is not recommended to add antifreeze - it is better to change

So, to replace antifreeze, you need to do the following:

How to bleed air from the cooling system of a Renault Logan car

After pouring antifreeze, you need to release excess air from the system. To do this, you need to do the following:

• Start the motor and let it run with idle... Warming up should be done to a temperature of forty degrees. After that, you must turn off the engine.
• Next, you need to eliminate the excess pressure in the system. You need to open the expansion tank

You should also remove the plug from the fitting. Air will escape, and after a while liquid will begin to flow from the fitting. After that, of course, the cap of the expansion tank should be screwed on.

• Next, you need to get rid of the air in the radiator. To do this, turn on the engine again and warm it up at high speeds - two thousand revolutions per minute. Warm-up time - five to ten minutes
• Re-bleed the air from the nozzle. Only this time, do not cover the expansion tank with a brush. These steps must be repeated two or three times.

What kind of coolant is right for Logan?

Attentive car owners and experienced drivers know very well that it is very important to monitor the coolant level and change it on time. The first signs that the liquid is losing its properties and it is time to replace it are: turbidity of the solution, the acquisition of an unusual color - brown, brown, the appearance of a precipitate.

What is coolant for?

This fluid relieves the engine from overheating. Initially, in the warm season, it was possible to use plain water, but in winter the water instantly freezes when the thermometer drops below zero. Then a liquid was invented that does not freeze at any temperature. This liquid is a very important element in the operation of the car, as it protects parts from deformation under the influence of low temperatures, which is especially important when operating the car in northern latitudes and areas with severe winters.

Varieties and composition of coolant

It is a mixture of ethylene glycol, water and various additives, on which the various properties of the mixture depend. Many drivers are faced with the problem of choosing the optimal fluid and its differences, because on the shelves of car dealerships there are many different manufacturers and fluids of different colors.

What kind of coolant to pour into Logan?

Initially at the factory, new Logan models are filled with GLACEOL RX Type D coolant from Elf brands, which is part of the Total Production Group. The company strongly advises to use this type of coolant for maximum results and optimal performance of the cooling system. It is sold as a concentrate that must be diluted with distilled water. The maintained temperature of the antifreeze depends on which part of the coolant you dilute with water.

This fluid is produced in France and has a number of properties, such as neutrality to rubber materials and paints, the ability to use in aluminum and cast iron engines. It is manufactured according to the original modern technologies designed to maximally protect parts from corrosion.

At some factories, a Russian analogue of this type of antifreeze called Cool Stream 4030 Premium is poured into the coolant tank, and some domestic official service centers also allow the use of Glaself Auto Supra and CoolElf Auto Supra. This is done due to the identical composition of the original fluid and the above-mentioned analogs, so the engine will not be damaged.

It should also be remembered that for a Renault Logan car model, the coolant must be changed at least once every 90,000 km. It is advisable not to top up new fluid to the old one, and completely change the entire volume in order to avoid problems with engine cooling. Now you know which coolant is suitable for Renault Logan, and in order to properly replace it yourself, we advise you to read the corresponding article.

Renault Glaceol RX Type D is a concentrate and ready-made coolant suitable for use in engine cooling systems modern cars in particular this applies to cars produced concern Renault-Nissan... Ready-to-use coolant has a freezing point of -21 ° C, which of course is not suitable for the regions of Russia, therefore it is recommended to use concentrated antifreeze diluted with water in a 50% / 50% ratio, which corresponds to a crystallization temperature of up to -37 ° C.

Description of antifreeze

The original Renault Glaceol RX Type D antifreeze was created using modern organic technologies based on ethylene glycol and special additives of organic origin without the addition of ethyl alcohol. The manufacturer colors this refrigerant in green color... It is distinguished by the most modern composition, which prevents the likelihood of corrosion on the metal parts of the engine cooling system.

Glaceol RX Type D has no effect on premature deterioration of aluminum and cast iron engine parts. Also, due to its chemical neutrality, this concentrated coolant can be used in cooling systems with aluminum and copper elements. In addition, it does not dissolve rubber gaskets and car paint.

If the recommended ratio of the volume of distilled water to the concentrate is 1: 1, it is possible to guarantee the elimination of crystallization of the resulting liquid down to a temperature of -37 degrees Celsius, which is confirmed by official tests.

Scope of application

The original Renault antifreeze was developed for use in cooling systems of any modern internal combustion engines... It is best suited for Renault-Nissan engines.

It is completely neutral to metal alloys and rubber compounds, making it suitable for use in cooling systems with copper and rubber parts.

Important! In the event of antifreeze leakage, the manufacturer strongly discourages mixing it with other brands of antifreeze, even if they have a similar green color. The best solution would be to add the same antifreeze to the cooling system. If you do not have the same Antifreeze concentrate Renault Type D canister with you, then you can mix it with ordinary distilled water until the leak is eliminated and the entire coolant is replaced.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantages of Renault Type D antifreeze:

• Fully compatible with Renault engines and Nissan;
• The chemical composition is completely neutral to various metals, rubber and car enamel;
• Maintaining its normal liquid state up to an air temperature of -37.

Disadvantages:

• The manufacturer does not recommend diluting antifreeze with other refrigerants. In case of occurrence emergency situation it can only be diluted with distilled water or filled with the same coolant;
• Relatively high price in comparison with refrigerants from other manufacturers;
• It is not always possible to buy this coolant in ordinary car dealerships.

Analogs

As for the analogues of Glaceol RX Type D antifreeze, on the market you can find such coolants with a similar chemical composition that have similar characteristics:

Important! It should be borne in mind that despite the fact that the analogs differ in a lower price, the automaker itself recommends using only original antifreeze with guaranteed properties.

How to distinguish fake Glaceol RX Type D antifreeze

When buying antifreeze, you need to pay attention to the quality of the container, the typography of the label, as well as the presence of sediment at the bottom of the canister. Original production It is distinguished by high-quality plastic bottles and an even label with clearly readable text. It will not be superfluous to know the manufacturer's articles. So, the concentrated liquid is produced in canisters with a volume of 1 liter and is designated by the code 77 11 428 132, and the finished one: 1 liter - 77 11 428 133, 2 liters - 77 11 428 129 and 5 liters - 77 11 428 130.
