Engine cooling system must be charged with coolant consisting of ethylene glycol solution in water (freezing point to -9 ?� C). The proportion depends on the weather conditions. The concentration of ethylene glycol in water should be at least 50% but should not exceed 70%. Coolant also contains anti-corrosion and anti-foam additives. Every two years, it is necessary to carry out the replacement of a cooling liquid from a mandatory flushing the cooling system. Operation antifreeze longer may lead to corrosion, formation of scale in the system, which entails damage to the engine. Before refilling the antifreeze, check all hose connections, tighten the bolts of the cylinder head. Antifreeze has a high flowability and can even flow through very small openings.
