How to change coolant (including engine block)

In this article, the change of the coolant (engine block + radiator) of the Peugeot 206 vehicles will be explained. Although text and images are for 206 vehicles, this can be done almost in the same way for other models. Important Note: Because the coolant contains antifreeze and it is a toxic substance that is very harmful to nature, the anti-coolant needs to be collected in a container and handed over to return to the relevant places. 1. First, it is recovered from the pipe clips that enter the thermostat and are connected to the upper part of the radiator. 2. The status of the thermostat is checked. 3. If there is calcification in the thermostat (especially on the black gasket), it can be easily cleaned by depositing it in vinegar water. The lower radiator hotum is also removed and then the garden hose is placed in the place where the upper pipe enters as in the picture and pressurized water is given. At this stage, the radiator is cleaned. 5. Next is to clean up the old cooling fluid on the engine blog. This time the garden hose is immersed in the expansion cabinet. 6. As water is given, water litter is observed from the thermostat section and where the lower hose is. This process is continued until clean water appears. 7. The thermostat and cleaned gasket are replaced beautifully. 8. The system must be evacuated when adding new antifreeze water. In this case, there are two points to breathe. One is on the heating pipe entering the cabin and the other is immediately under the heat sensor. As the new antifreeze water mixture is placed in the expansion tank, these two bleeding points will open because the air inside will automatically come out of these points as you put water from above. When the new cooling water starts circulation, it first passes through the pipe with the heating hose, and then through the second bleeding point in the picture below. When the bubbles are finished, they are closed first by the plug on the heating pipe, and then at the point in the picture below. While the water is being filled in order to get the air out more easily while the process is being done, the pipe that enters the radiator from the bottom is compressed and released by hand. Come easy. Source: http://my206xr.blogspot.be koliva2012-06-30 11:45:51

very nice thank you very much :)) & nbsp; I am sure of the thermostat alone, no problem .. no need to disassemble it & nbsp; Is there? I think it's enough if I just pull out the pipe

Thanks for your speech. How can we open the clamp here only? Do I need to change the radiator? Radiator pipes have the same clamps.

There's nothing on it. The picture is as follows. Put the two heads in the picture into the mouth of a pliers and tighten. It will hurt and the pipe will come out. Got it?

If you put the pipe in, the thermostat will stay hanging there. In other words, there is no trouble to insert it If you do not come out, there is no water. That's why you have to take it off.

ah koliva vah koliva:)) & nbsp; Master, I disassembled everything beautifully, drained the water and drained the dirt inside with clean water .. & nbsp; I removed the coolant canister and cleaned the inside with thinner .. & nbsp; so far everything was perfect :) then I started collecting everything I collected the last air when I said to buy the air, he said the screw right next to the customer, he screwed the screw in the hole & nbsp; it was broken: Anyway, I filled the hopper thoroughly, there was a mechanic nearby, I took it right away, took it in, and took a deep breath, relieved (did not demand money) & nbsp; :), keep in mind, friends. Despite everything, I enjoyed it very much, it was very enjoyable :)) Come on master, now you can open a topic in this how-to section, how to change the oil, maybe.

Is it okay? Is everything okay? Did you test the test? Is the temperature normal until 90s? Did you look at the heating system or do the hot weather come?
Y Changing the network is easier than that We will describe it too.

When I just change the radiator, do I have to deal with the thermostat now? Am I going to get air in?

Everything is fine. No problem in heat. It blows like a heating oven. For now, I poured normal & nbsp; & nbsp; water for a couple of weeks. a few & nbsp; weeks later, we can & nbsp; unload and antifreeze & nbsp; :) alone & nbsp; When I say heating, there is one more thing :) When I turn this heater button from red to blue, the button is throwing back. Is it possible to find the new one that is throwing back the mechanism inside? or & nbsp; Is it possible to repair the console (I know how to disassemble it)? I had disassembled it and replaced the bulbs since the illumination lights of these buttons had not been lit before, I think then I would have damaged it: (& nbsp;

no, you just need to remove the pipe clips at the radiator inlets .. but I don't know if you need to get the air .. be careful with the screws if you take it .. very sensitive screws .. & nbsp; my screw was broken inside ..

Thanks to a great sharing, people are encouraged. It is a pleasant and simple process unless you have an unfortunate accident like friends But when I have such an accident, I can not trust myself again, so that I can make an irreversible mistake. Let's throw the black gasket into the water with vinegar or the complete thermostat .. whether it will damage the thermostat?

I wonder if the air will be removed after the water radio change? If so, how should we take it? Do you need to get air? Couldn't the air be discharged by opening the tank cover of the coolant? thanks.

Very useful information.Eline health.

oh koliva vah koliva :) i was afraid .. i was on an antifreeze yesterday when i was on the cruise & nbsp; the temperature started to rise i saw it dripping water .. when i opened the hood i saw that there was a leak in the radiator and today the radiator changed ... & nbsp; & nbsp; 20 km & nbsp; Then I looked at the cooling water .. I thought that a yellowish residue had formed on the edges of the canister and it would be on the water if it was oil .. this & nbsp; something like sediment on the sides of the canister .. what do you think could happen? How do we know if it is burning gasket =

Get over. We've talked about this happening. The main question is which other components are corroded like a radiator due to the lack of antifreeze. Time will show that. It is usually the most worn-out radiator. You should not think that the radiator gave a problem because if it does not happen today it will give again tomorrow, only antifreeze would have accelerated the event a little more.

Yellowish residue may indicate the seal, but other symptoms should also be looked at. Is there white smoke? When the gas presses, the expansion is like bubbling in the water in the cabin. Reviews

changing the radiator water has been in my mind recently, I came across this topic of the coulman 2 days ago, I completely emptied it and wanted to add something to the subject.If you find a wide plier for the clamps holding the hoses, you will be much better dealing with a narrow plier. While waiting for the capacity of liter of water, the antifreeze was filling the expansion vessel, I was surprised that it was almost filling the expansion vessel at 2 liters. you will be at least once every 2 minutes, start the engine 3 times, wait for a circulation and empty it. zmaniac 2012-10-26 14:03:01
