Antifreeze check

For check of frost resistance of cooling liquid you need the areometer. With its help the specific weight of liquid is measured. Due to different addition of anticorrosive means the specific weight of separate types of antifreeze can be a miscellaneous. For carrying out absolutely exact measurement you need the areometer which is adjusted on the filled-in antifreeze. In a doubtful case subtract the admission in 2–3 °C from the received size.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Suck away a little cooling liquid from a broad tank, the areometer has to float freely.
  2. The areometer plunges more or less deeply depending on the specific weight of liquid.
  3. Determine by a scale up to what temperature protection against freezing works.
  4. In some devices there are arrows by which it is possible to determine frost resistance.

Regulation of concentration of antifreeze

Most often it becomes clear that concentration of antifreeze already insufficient. In this case it is necessary to add antifreeze; about about 1/2 l on 10 °C of increase of protection against freezing.

 PERFORMANCE ORDER

  1. Dismantle the lower facing of a motive compartment (the head Detali of a body).
  2. Substitute a tray under the car.
  3. At the cold engine disconnect the lower water hose from a radiator, merge from 1 to 2 l of cooling liquid.
  4. Again mount a hose and softly tighten the screw.
  5. Pour the corresponding amount of undiluted antifreeze and add together with the merged cooling liquid.
