Replacing technical operational liquids

Replacing the cooling fluid in DVS

The engine cooling system in any car is arranged according to the principle of a closed liquid circulation cycle due to the water pump (pump) from the engine through the radiator back to the engine. The coolant is heated in the engine due to the process of combustion of fuel in the cylinders. For cooling, the heated liquid passes through the radiator, due to the oncoming air of the moving car, or at the expense of the fans of forced cooling, the coolant is cooled back into the engine.

Due to the fact that the car is a street animal and in winter, as in the summer lives on the street, the usual water-based liquid in winter in the car simply will simply freeze and therefore liquids are used antifreeze, antifreeze, antifreeze, which even in fifty degree frost remain liquid-shaped.

For reliable operation of the car, the coolant should be changed in a timely manner as the working properties of antifreeze during operation are lost and the engine cooling system ceases to perform its tasks, and the coolant decomposition products are clogged and reduced the crossing and heat exchange. Modern car manufacturers are developing cooling systems in which only certain liquids are used to mix which will result in the failure of the entire engine. Therefore, the topping and replacement of antifreeze must be performed only in the technical centers specializing in certain brands of cars. Sometimes the use of poor-quality antifreeze with the replacement of which produces in garage or outside of specializing technical technical centers leads to the destruction of one of the main component of the pump cooling system. And not in time the seen malfunction entails the motor overheating, and what makes with a superheated engine, we will not even tell you, because if you still read it to these words, you are not indifferent to the engine of your car and, accordingly, do not allow connivance.

If you even decide to change or add cooling fluid (antifreeze) yourself, or contact non-specialists, be sure to consult information on service documentation going with a car, or call the specialists of our technical center by phone: 661-71-64 And we will definitely tell you and can even sell the required amount of antifreeze.

If it is time to replace antifreeze in your Mitsubishi, then you should know the manufacturer's instructions on this.

For Mitsubishi Lancer X, the manufacturer recommends the replacement of fluid for the first time after purchase after 4 years of operation or 96,000 km, depending on which you will achieve earlier.

In subsequent times, it needs to be changed after 48,000 km or 2 years.

How many antifreeze needed

By manual, the volume of the cooling system is about 7 liters. It should be borne in mind that for a 1.5 motor antifreeze will be as follows as in the engine with a volume of 2.0.

In this process there is nothing complicated, so if you decide to replace without the help of the masters, then there are many videos in the network that everyone will tell and show.

It should be noted that it is much more difficult to replace without a pit.

Also note that antifreeze is a very toxic substance, and it is necessary to avoid inhaling its vapors and direct contact with the skin. In the absence of desire or necessary conditions, you can use the services of a well-proven car service.

What antifreeze to choose for Lancer 10

The first thing you need to consider is what antifreeze is covered in the system. Although it is customary to classify the cooling fluid in colors, today it is meaningless. Different manufacturers paint their product in that color, which are considered necessary.

So you can probably find out the antifreeze class only by saving the container with the previous replacement or having an entry in the service book. A liquid having a dark blue shade, or if it is dark green - it is Tosol, it is valuable at times less than antifreeze. If you fail to accurately determine the class of the oiled antifreeze, rinse the system with a special substance or distilled water.

To date, antifreeze is classified for several types. According to properties and composition, it is divided into: G11, G12, G12 +, G12 ++, G13. If you have a car, suppose 2008, and during operation it could have emerged corrosion on the details of the radiator, then the liquid of class G12 is better fit with it. A package of additives in antifreeges G12 + and above is suitable for cars from 2012 and newer. It does not fight so effectively with the already formed rust, but creates a durable protective layer to prevent destruction. As for brands, it is better not to save and use proven manufacturers with the name you trust. Use shops that trust and beware of fakes that literally flooded the market.

How to replace

Replacing the coolant in all cars Lancer 10 occurs almost the same. Despite the year and the volume of the motor, whether 1.6 or 1.8, or the restyling model, the technical holes on the radiator and the cylinder block are located equally. The first thing to do is to make a car cool if it is from the road.

After, you need to open the lid on the radiator, in avoiding the vacuum in the system. Then remove the engine protection and on the radiator we find the screw, which is located in the lower right corner.

By reloading it, we descend the fluid from the radiator. Then it is necessary to merge the old antifreeze from the block, removing the lower radiator hose. Pay attention to the expansion tank, there can still be a decent amount of fluid, it must be removed by any available way, for example, rubber pear. Wait a short time until everything stalks, and install the hose and the radiator plug. If you decide to use the washing, then pour it into the system, and then repeat everything again. Antifreeze must be poured into the neck of the radiator.

In order to avoid air traffic jams, you can compress the pipe with your hands during the fill and fill gradually. Then you need to start the car and add the desired amount of antifreeze into the expansion tank. After that, the replacement of the coolant is completed. Have a pleasant and warm trips.

Replacing Antifreeze Lancer 9

So, let us discuss the urgent topic soon (Epiphany frosts on the nose!) - Replacement of antifreeze. Take the experimental Lancer 9, mechanics, 2005, with mileage of 130,000 km.

"Go"! To merge the old antifreeze stands from a cold motor, just like removing the cover from the radiator, otherwise there is a chance to burn, explain until the system has cooled, it will be under pressure. If the time does not expect, it is still worth waiting for at least 30 minutes before proceeding to manipulations.

By the way, for this work you will need: (water that has passed special cleaning, with the help of which organic and mineral chemical compounds, heavy metals salts and other micro and macroelements, capable of providing negative impacts on a car or any other technique) 2 pieces \u003d 9 -10 liters, head replaceable end for 14 mm, kardanchik Kulisi, ratchet key (extension or collar), as well as pliers.

Remove the cover

2. Open the expansion tank

3. Remove the crane on the radiator. You can accommodate any draining, everything depends on your imagination, what happened to me.

4. Next, we take for antifreeze in the block. There is a drain plug (located next to the engine oil pressure sensor behind the engine, you will not be able to see it, and do not attempt. We continue to look at the touch. Here you will need a cardanchik, the end head for 14, the extension. I pay attention, unscrews quite hard.

From the block merge directly to the ground, as it is difficult to approach.

5. And the last place from where the liquid is drained - the expansion tank. The pliers squeeze the clamp on the hose, we take it to the side and remove the hose.

We take a tank, mine and put in place.

6. Watch the crane on the radiator and tighten the plug cylinder block into place. Next, we remove one of the heating hoses of the throttle node. It is tightened similar to the expansion tank hose.

7. Poule for flushing distilled water until it is absorbed from the heating hose of the throttle and the fitting, on which it has been stretched. At that moment, when the flowing begins, we put heated in place and and start the engine. The neck of the radiator leaves open.

Heat to the operating temperature, as soon as the fans are triggered, and we repeat the entire drain process, with the exception of the expansion tank. It is best to make a cool motor again, otherwise you can scream!, Unscrewing the plug of the block. Usually, one washing is quite enough, but we advise you to wash twice for soothing. In the second washing, water should be almost clean.

Ready! We twist the crane and cork (paragraph 7), but closing the radiator cork. About 5 liters climbs, pour a new cooling fluid (antifreeze) into the tank at the level. We warm the car to the operating temperature and the wasting. We check all connections for the presence of outers and, if necessary, fill the liquid into the tank.

Readers, be attentive on the roads! Congratulations on bachership frosts!

p.S. Which, by the way, this year is not terrible.

Mitsubishi Lancer is a car from Mitsubishi Motors with a very long history. The release of the first Lanserov began in 1973, then these cars were produced under different names in different countries and at different times.

Since 1992, Mitsubishi Motors has been producing a sports version of the car - Lancer Evolution at the same time with the "Civil".

For the entire production period, the total number of Mitsubishi Lancer released exceeded 8 million, so the model is included in the global twenty largest car.

The first six generations of the car belonged to the B segment ("Small Cars") on the European classification. The seventh and three subsequent generation moved to C category C ("MEDIUM CARS"). Last, the tenth generation appeared in 2007 and is issued to this day.

Mitsubishi Lancer X attracts with his audacious sports appearance and the "promise of power", the fans are gaining mainly among young people not older than 30 years.

Modern cars are mostly not distinguished by constructive simplicity. Even uncomplicated technical manipulations with such machines - "Dancing with tambourines". And what about to do that and the minor repair of Mitsubishi Lancer 10? Is it possible?

All fluids on Lancer 10 "owner can replace himself, it is quite simple.

Coolant

Every four years on Lancer X need to change antifreeze. This procedure is most convenient to do on the pit / overpass. So that in the process do not burn, merge the liquid is needed on the cooled engine.

We merge oh

On the radiator we unscrew the lid, open the expansion tank. Then, through the hole in the protection of the engine compartment (right), discover the drain crane of the radiator. We put under the spout for a drain of the container and give liquids to drain.

Now the queue for the cooling liquid of the cylinder block. On the lower nozzle of the radiator, remove the water hose and drain the antifreeze with the engine shirt.

It remains to drain the liquid from the expansion tank. With the help of pliers, squeeze the clamp on the hose, we shift it, then remove the hose itself. Pulling up, removing the expansion tank. We pour out liquid from it and rinse with water.

To clean the drain circuit, pour water into the radiator (through the cover) and wait until it strokes.

Tightly tighten the drain valve on the radiator. Connect the hose to the lower nozzle of the radiator. Install the expansion tank on the regular place.

Pour oh

Through the radiator cover, we fill to the vertex recommended by the automaker antifreeze. Tighten the lid tightly. Through the bulk neck of the expansion tank, tighten the coolant to the label "FULL".

"Open" thermostat

Turn off the air conditioner (the switch A / C must be in the "OFF" position), and the heater temperature controller is set to a maximum. We start the motor and warm it up until the fan turns on the radiator. We increase the revolutions several times, and then drown out the engine. Check the system for leaks.

We wait for the cooling of the motor and pour antifreeze through the radiator cover to the top. Tighten the lid tightly. Fill the expansion tank with coolant to "FULL".

Motor oil

If the car is used under normal conditions, the engine oil is required to replace annually (or every 15 thousand km of run).

We merge oil

In the car installed on the overpass or pit, heating the engine (the coolant should be warm up to 80-90 c). Remove on the engine the lid of the oil-tank neck.

We substitute the crankcase for the old oil under the oil pallet, then unscrew the drain plug (the key "at 13") and the oil drain.

Replacing the oil filter

The filter needs to be updated with oil. Despite the dense layout of the elements under the hood, get to the filter is difficult, but you can. However, it is still easier to go below: unscrew the bolts that secure the plastic protection of the engine compartment, and then remove it (or move forward).

Oil filter Out by a special key-excavator and remove. The planting surface of the filter fastening is wiped with a clean rag. Sealing ring on a new filter lubricate fresh engine oil. First we screw the filter to contact the sealing ring with the landing place. And followed by "reach" approximately turnover using a special key for an oily filter with the prescribed torque.

Pour oil

On the drain plug, be sure to replace the gasket new. We screw the cork and tighten with the prescribed strength moment.

Pour the required amount of the oil of the recommended characteristics through the oil-tank neck and close the throat with the lid. Check the oil level and, if necessary, fill.

We start the engine, increase its turns several times. We check whether the oil is leaking through the drain plug of the oil pan of the crankcase and through the filter.

Oil in MCP

Under normal conditions of using the car, the replacement of transmission oil is required infrequently - every 13 years or 195 thousand km.

An unscheduled replacement may be needed if metal glitters were found in it when checking "transmission" in it: magnetic silver spoke about wear gear gear gear, golden - about wear of its synchronizers.

And in the other case, the oil needs to be replaced.

With the help of a hexagon "On 8", we unscrew the cork on the bay hole, which is behind the left shruss. Then, under the same screen, at the bottom of the crankcar, you unscrew the plug hole, we also use the hexagon "on 8". We give oil dragging.

After that, on the drain hole, we twist the cork with the prescribed torque. We pour into the box the transmission oil of the recommended characteristics to the lower edge of the fuel hole, and then tighten the cork.

Brake fluid

Brake fluid is required to change every 24 months or 30 thousand km.

On the brake caliper, remove the cap from the screw on the holes for the bleeding. We attach a vinyl tube to the screw, the second end is lowered into the prepared container with a certain amount of brake fluid.

Unscrew the screw from the hole for the blending and press the brake pedal. It is impossible to allow air to get into the highway. Therefore, throughout the procedure, track the level of brake fluid in the GTC tank and determine it as necessary.

When fresh brake fluid will flow out of the bucked hole (it differs from the old color), we drag the screw. We repeat the same actions on other calipers.

The last generation of Lancer from the point of view of maintainability and labor complexity shows well.

Of course, the repair of Mitsubishi Lancer 10 will require the knowledge of some specific features of the machine.

For example, when replacing a polyclinic belt on a version with a 1.5-liter engine, it is necessary to release fasteners on the lower leg of the generator. Otherwise, she just burst.

When replacing the air filter, it will not be emphasized that halves of the filter housing entered the locks below.

If you need to replace the lamp in the right spotlight, you will have to remove the expansion tank, and the tank neck will be removed to the side.

However, with the replacement of working fluids, it is usually no problems - everything is quite simple even for a beginner.

Many Mitsubishi Lancer drivers believe that there is no need to update antifreeze. However, it is not necessary to think so because the planned renewal of the coolant provides a good functioning of the car.

The cooling substance performs an important task in the cooling mechanism. Thanks to the antifreeze of the power unit, the vehicle does not boil. However, when using the machine, the substance loses its properties. Therefore, timely replacement is the necessary procedure.

How often do you need to lanser 10 replacement of antifreeze?

Given the importance of coolant for the car, it is recommended to replace it systematically, since it depends on the good operation of the engine and the entire vehicle in general

Information on the update is indicated in the technical passport of the vehicle. Manufacturers recommend replacing every 60,000 mileage kilometers. However, this is a conditional number, since it all depends on the operating conditions. Also, a separate attention should be paid to factors that bring the fluid replacement:

• natural wear of the substance;
• the use of low-quality materials;
• dilution of antifreeze with liquid with other characteristics or water;
• damage to the cooling mechanism;
• system contamination;
• previous fill was made with error assignment.

All these factors bring the procedure to update the antifreeze of Mitsubishi Lancer car.

Since the substance takes heat from the vehicle power unit, then each driver must understand the symptoms indicating the loss of useful characteristics of antifreeze:

These symptoms will detect any driver, but in the conditions of the service center, the quality of antifreeze is estimated by special testers.

Important information! As soon as the first symptoms indicating the wear of antifreeze, the vehicle driver must immediately contact the maintenance service.

Replacing antifreeze for Lancer 10 and other services

The maintenance service renews the non-freezing fluid, also specialists provide the following range of services:

• diagnostics, the procedure is always important, since it detects all the cooling system malfunctions, as well as adjacent components;
• draining antifreeze;
• washing the cooling system;
• pouring a new material.

Mitsubishi Lancer antifreeze replacement procedure 10

In our service, mechanics conduct a procedure in three steps. The first is the plums of antifreeze. Next, the system is flushing. And the final step is influencing the substance.

The main points of the drain are as follows:

• the tank lid is weakened, it is recommended to increase the antifreeze flow;
• cork is removed and stuffed;
• after all plugs are closed.

Important! Drain of non-freezing substances are carried out from the radiator, as well as from the expansion tank.

The purpose of the system flushing procedure is to eliminate various contaminants, as well as the removal of the remains of the old substance.

Previously, various folk methods were used to purify the system, but today there is a variety of special substances in the market, which clear the cooling system of the vehicle.

At the stage of fillings of the new antifreeze, it is necessary to know exactly what it will be in the system. It is important to acquire high-quality fluid recommended by Mitsubishi Lancer vehicles.

Mechanics spend the following steps:

• disconnect the nozzle that sends the substance to the motor;
• the infusion of antifreeze is carried out through the throat of the tank;
• the procedure lasts until the liquid flows out of the nozzle.
• then the procedure is completed by the closing of all holes and the fluid run, it will be enough to work the car at idle.

Important information! All repair work should be carried out only in the service center.

When replacing the cooling fluid, Lancer 10 is important to remember a few moments. It is impossible:

• independently carry out an update;
• use low-quality material;
• displays the update procedure.

The thing is that all these moments are the cause of premature wear of the power unit of the car, as well as many associated parts. In addition, there are huge risks to get into a traffic accident. And eliminate all these consequences will be much more expensive than to conduct a scheduled replacement.
