Hello friends,

I recently wanted to change the water of my car. The water in the tank was drained from under the radiator and antifreeze was placed. However, within 3 days the vehicle's water tank became muddy like an oil layer. I ran the car on it and removed the return hose and gave it some gas and poured the incoming water into a pet glass. However, there was no blackness. There was a very small dot-like oil blackness. Do you think this could be the reason?

Get well soon.

The oil does not come to the glass immediately and it is mixed with water.
It can be from the cylinder head gasket.
I do not know the model of your vehicle, but there is a part called an oil cooler (I think there is not every vehicle).

I think show it to the master

My vehicle is 2013 model 301 1.6 HDi. There was no problem before putting antifreeze on the vehicle. I just bought the vehicle with normal water before me. When we drained the water, rust was poured from the bottom.

My rusty places started to leak when anti-freeze was put, Hodja.

My friend had a similar problem, it was solved by replacing the so-called oil cooler.

This is the piece;

Such things can happen after the antifreeze change. I don't think it's a problem. It can happen when the next incompatibility with the antifreeze is experienced. Or, if there is water in advance, the residue formed over time can be rust. It can disassemble things.
It is best to observe and follow any increase

I don't know exactly how the system is in the 301s, but in most models, if the oil is mixed with cooling water, there is a part called oil cooler, that part will wear gaskets over time and mix the oil into the water, and when the old antifreeze changes, the new antifreeze will remove old dirt and if it is necessary to follow it, it may cause distressing situations. As it is mixed in oil, I may have experienced this incident in corsa diesel personally

Yes, you are right. Water was used instead of antifreeze. And when we drained the water, rust from the vehicle like copper color. As you said, it would be healthier to follow a deadline.

First of all, welcome to us. Observed for a while, as the strange friends said, what the former owner filled the water with is logic. If lubrication continues, there are two possibilities, as our friends say, either the cylinder head gasket or the oil cooler.

The vehicle probably hesitated to pay 146 thousand. Since I have a reasonable price, I never had to look at it. In other words, if I had a complete engine, the vehicle came to me below the market price. So I hope I will do whatever is necessary now slowly. For now, there is no problem in his traction. However, as I said, only this water event caught my eye.
