Coolant level, cold engine (those. at a temperature of about 20°C) must be between the marks «MAX» And «MIN» on the expansion tank. With a hot engine, the coolant level should be just above the mark «MAX».
Large amounts of cold coolant should only be poured into a cold engine to avoid engine damage.
Precautions: carefully open the cap of the expansion tank when the engine is hot, so as not to burn yourself. When opening, put a rag on the lid of the tank. Open the cover whenever possible when the coolant temperature is less than 90°C.
First turn the lid a little (1), relieve pressure, and then unscrew the cap further and remove it. О To top up, use an aqueous solution of antifreeze with anti-corrosion additives.
Attention: To continue driving, you can, especially in summer, top up with clean water, but as soon as possible, restore the desired concentration of antifreeze.
Check the tightness of the cooling system connections if the coolant level drops rapidly.
