Tosol is a brand of domestic antifreeze, designed in 1971, which began to be produced in Tolyatti during the USSR. There were only 2 types of domestic antifreeze: Tosol-40 (blue color) and Tosol-65 (red).
Antifreezes are distinguished by additives included in it:
- Traditional antifreeze;
- Hybrid antifreeze G-11 (Hybrid, "Hybrid Coolants", Hoat (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology));
- Carboxylate antifreeze G-12, G-12 + ("Carboxylate COOLANTS", OAT (Organic Acid Technology));
- Ledok antifreeze G-12 ++, G-13 ("Lobrid Coolants" or "Soat Coolnts").
If you need to add coolant in Cheri Tiggo (T11), it is safe to mix antifreeze only one type, and not colors. Color is just a dye. Water (even distilled) into the radiator Chery Tiggo (T11) is prohibited, because in the heat at a temperature of 100 ° C boil water, scale is formed. In the frost, water will freeze, nozzles and radiator Cheri Tiggo (T11) will simply break.
Replace coolant on Chery Tiggo (T11) for several reasons:
- The term of antifreeze ends - the concentration of inhibitors in it decreases, the heat transfer decreases;
- Reduced the level of antifreeze from leaks - His level in the expansion tank Chery must remain constant. In this case, it can flow through looseness in compounds, or cracks in the radiator, nozzles.
- The level of antifreeze has decreased due to engine overheating - Antifreeze begins to drop, in the plug of the expansion tank Cheri Tiggo cooling system (T11), a safety valve opens, dropping the antifreeze pairs into the atmosphere.
- Replacing parts of the cooling system Cheri Tiggo (T11) or engine repair;
Signs for which the state of spent antifreeze in Cheri Tiggo (T11) is determined:
- Results test strips;
- Measurement of antifreeze in Chery Tiggo (T11) refractometer or areometer;
- Changing the color shade: for example, there was green, rusty or yellow, as well as turbidity, fading;
- The presence of chips, chips, scale, foam.
Washing Cooling system Chery Tiggo (T11), before filling a new antifreeze, completely removes the protective layer and the remains of the old antifreeze, this is necessary when switching from one type to another. For flushing the radiator, Chery Tiggo (T11) should be used by special safety, which is often diluted with water in accordance with the instructions. The finished flushing is poured into the extelling tank of Cherery Tiggo (T11) radiator with a muffled engine. It is definitely necessary to warm up to the operating temperature, to operate the thermostat and antifreeze began to circulate by the large circle of the cooling system.
Then the engine is crushed, it is allowed to work at idle for 30 minutes. Dry washing liquid. The operation is repeated depending on the composition of the flowing fluid. The washing mixture can be used only in the first approach, in the subsequent - distilled water. The replacement time of antifreeze on Chery Tiggo (T11) is from half an hour, with washing - up to 1.5 hours.
You will need: cooling fluid, funnel, clean rag.
Note
The manufacturer recommends applying a coolant (antifreeze) based on ethylene glycol.
Do not mix the liquids of different colors and different manufacturers. If you need to add cooling fluid, but you do not know the brand flooded into the liquid system, replace the entire fluid in the cooling system. Apply products only verified manufacturers. Remember that the use of low-quality coolant leads to expensive engine repair! Before starting work, install the car on a flat surface.
Warnings
Check the coolant level only on the cold engine. Cooling fluid is toxic, so when working with it, observe precautions.
Do not pour the liquid into the tank above the MAX label, because when the engine is running, its volume will increase.
When starting the engine, the plug of the expansion tank must be tightly closed.
Useful advice
Constantly monitor the coolant level. Its sharp decline or an increase should be a signal to immediately check the engine cooling system.
If the fresh antifreeze suddenly suddenly quickly changed the color on the brown, you were sold to a fake, which "forgot" add corrosion inhibitors. As soon as possible, replace the liquid until it has time to drive the cooling system.
The expansion tank is installed in the open space on the right side.
1. The coolant level should be between the "MAX" and "MIN" marks deposited on the wall of the expansion tank
2. To pull the liquid, remove the plug of the expansion tank ...
Notes
If the expansion tank is completely empty, remove the radiator stopper by turning it 90 ° counterclockwise, and add fluid into the radiator to the edge of its neck. Then close the cork radiator and decrease the fluid into the expansion tank to the required level.
4. Close the plug of the expansion tank.

Antifreeze with Tosol is not allowed. No way! Tosol and antifreeze are very different in quality. Tosol is the trade name of the traditional type (TL) of the cooling fluid of the old sample. At the end of the service life - the liquid is completely discolored or faster. Before replacing one type of liquid to another, rinse the car radiator with ordinary water.
Chery Tiggo 2005. Condensate in Engine
Condensate is a liquid that has passed from gas to a liquid state. Water in the engine will inevitably cause its damage - it will start rust. And in winter, at a reduced temperature, the water turns into ice, which is why the engine freezes. This may cause the cooling system nozzles or a cylinder head simply burst. Therefore, the appearance of condensate must be taken with due attention.
The condensate in the engine may look like a plaque or a small amount of whitic color foam, formed on the lid of the neck for the oil bay. This is a sign that there is water in the system. Its presence can alert a motorist, as similar signs can signal about certain problems. Abundant formation of foam can speak of a damaged strip in the head of the cylinder block, or about the attachment of antifreeze into the oil system. With such problems, the engine is often overheated. But if foam is a bit, in such cases, as a rule, it is not worth worrying.
Why is this foam formed in the engine? It remains on the engine after it cools out and is the result of the mixing of oil with water. As a rule, after a short time after starting the engine, this raid will be washed from the valve cover, but it can remain on the neck for the bay of oil. Does it say about the need to replace oil? Not. The amount of water in it is not so much to reflect on his quality.
In addition to the engine, condensate can be formed in other automotive systems. For example, in the muffler, it appears from a sharp drop temperature. If the water appears in the gas tank - the first thought may often be that she fell there with gasoline. But this is not the only reason - if you leave the car warm, condensate can also appear. Special fluids will help to cope with this problem - water removers from the tank. They convert water in such a way that it turns into easily burning compounds. It is enough to use them just once a year. Condensate may also appear in the body due to temperature differences. The most optimal solution in this situation will be the use of special protection against corrosion.
After the trip, the air in the crankcase cools and its volume decreases. As a result, an additional wet atmospheric air is suused in the crankcase. In the further cooling of moisture condenses on the walls of the engine.
Condensate accumulation promotes short trips when the engine does not have time to breathe.
Why emulsion appears in the engine
The substance of white color with a yellow tump on the dipstick, under the lid of the oil-tank neck indicates an impurity in the engine oil of foreign liquid. But where exactly appears an emulsion in the engine and why does this occur mainly in the cold? Consider the main causes and methods of diagnosing faults.
Emulsions are formed by two unsuccessful fluids. In most cases, one of the phases of the emulsion is water. In other words, when motor oil and water mixed in the engine, in the pallet, on the dipped, the lid of the oil-tapping neck you will find a white and yellow flare. The reasons for the appearance of the emulsion in the engine is only 2:
Getting into the coolant oil, part of which is water. The leakage of antifreeze manifests itself not only by the emulsion, but also by a decrease in the amount of coolant in the tank, an increase in the oil level in the pallet;
In no case continue to exploit the car if you have found an emulsion on the dipstick. In such a state, the oil loses its lubricating ability. No less dangerous to enter the engine oil into the cooling system, which is why the likelipatibility of engine overheating is large.
The formation of condensate on the lid of the oil-tank neck in the winter season.
White raid on the covered neck
Many drivers are frightened, seeing white emulsion on the inside of the cover. But in most cases, their concerns are unjustified, since the flaw occurs due to the features of the engine in the frosty time of the year.
Moisture getting into the ventilation system of crankcase gases is a natural process. But when operating a car in the warm season, she has time to evaporate. With the onset of frost moisture is actively condensed on all cooled surfaces. When driving the engine, this moisture is completely evaporated from the surface of the heated parts. But since the lid of the oil-wave neck in frost does not always have time to warm up, condensate accumulates on its inner part. Water drops, mixing with oil pairs, forms yellow emulsion.
In other words, the main reason for the emulsion on the lid is short car runs, during which all the details of the engine do not have time to warm up. That is why such a plaque owners most often notice in winter, late autumn and early spring. If you have discovered an emulsion on the lid of the oil-tank neck, but at the same time the oil is in normal condition, it is not worth worrying. It is enough to wipe the lid and periodically observe the condition of the oil in the engine.
To reduce the amount of emulsion, periodically overcome by car a greater distance than a few kilometers from home to work and back. At the same time, we are extremely advisable for a long time to warm the engine at idle.
How can antifreeze get into the oil?
Trucking gasket GBC. It is extremely rare cause of a malfunction in the production marker. Much more often, a loose fit of the cylinder head to the BC becomes the consequence of engine overheating. The gasket weakening zones appear due to the deformation of the GBC, BC. It is in such places that the antifreeze is a breakthrough from the engine cooling shirt in the oil circulation channel. Also, the cause of the leaks of the conjugated surfaces can be the use of elongated bolts, poor-quality milling / grinding of bollard planes, incorrect order and moment of tightening of cylinder bolts.
Erosion of the cylinder block. The poor-quality coolant is capable of devouring the blocks of cylinders and the GBC. The consequence of such aggressive behavior is the crater near the circulation channels of the coolant. If the erosion zone is spreading in the direction of the oil circulation channel, then over time, this will lead to the weakening of the gasket of the GBC and the formation of an engine emulsion.
The crack between the oil circulation channels and antifreeze. The cause of microcracks, through which when the engine is heated, mixing occurs, most often in the engine overheating.
Grinding heat exchanger. The node is designed for efficient cooling oil and maintain the thermal balance of the engine. On some cars, the oil cooler of this type is a real headache. First of all, we are talking about Opel owners, in particular, models of cars with Z18XER engines. The problem of the emulsion on the dipstick, in the coolant tank on such engines is a common structural defect of the heat exchanger.
How to determine why antifreeze gets into the oil?
Pretty rarely mixing coolant with oil occurs unilaterally. It is more likely that by finding the emulsion on the dipstick and under the valve lid, you will find traces of oil in an expansion tank.
In search of the cause of the emulsion in the engine, we recommend going through the smallest resistance, starting checking from easily accessible aggregates. If an oil exchanger is installed on the car, inspect its housing on the subject of leaks of antifreeze, oil fifumes. These symptoms can serve as an indirect sign that the cause of a malfunction is in the cooler.
Having found a white emulsion on the dipstick and leakage of antifreeze in the initial stage of the problem of the problem, you can restrict ourselves to the engine washing by N-multiple oil replacement. Even cheap mineral-based products can be used for such purposes. But even it is important to know how not to buy counterfeit.
If the entire filling volume of engine oil has turned into an emulsion, without complete disassembly of the engine can not do. At the same time, it is necessary to blow the crankshaft crankshaft lubrication channels, a piston mass roller. The emulsion can clog the channels, which will lead to the sad consequences of oil starvation.
BC defecting, block head and gasket
After removing the GBC, carefully inspect the gasket and the flushing planes. Weakening zones, which become the cause of mixing oil and antifreeze, are usually clearly visible on the old gasket.
If the gasket does not cause complaints, most likely, a microcrack formed into the GBC or BC. In the article on the replacement of the cylinder block, we told how using kerosene you can check the BC at home. If possible, we recommend using the help of professionals. As practice shows, only checking on the crimping stand can reliably determine the fact of the leakage of the sleeves, oil circulation channels, coolant.
How to deal with emulsion?
Do not warm the engine at idle. First of charge, the crankcase ventilation system is blocked at idle, Secondly heating on idle is very slow. It is necessary to start the movement after a short warm-up (as well as advise the operating manuals). If you suspect a breakdown of the cylinder head head and gas or antifreeze in the oil system, then for this you should watch a radiator of a heated car for bubble, as well as a freezed engine crankcase for a significant emulsion in the crankcase. On the valve lid, the emulsion disappears when the engine will adequately work under load - i.e. Riding without frequent stops, such as the country highway at speeds above 80 km / h.
If the abundant emulsion on the oil probe is detected, then it is a reason to take care of the engine in more detail, it is pretty warm and make diagnostics aimed at finding possible problems.
Also increased emulsion formation will be if the crankcase ventilation system or crankcase gases are made not forced, but simply hose hanging down from the engine cover. ATTENTION: Making businesses to the crankcase ventilation system, namely hanging the hose into the atmosphere, significantly reduces the service life of the engine oil due to its contamination as vapor of fuel and water and the sediments of the resin and other fuel combustion products. Therefore, if you are all the same, the interval between the oil changes should be reduced.
Antifreeze is a special imperodent fluid at low temperatures intended for controlling the temperature mode of the car engine. In addition, the coolant action is aimed at preventing corrosion formation in a vehicle cooling system. Since the car engine is a fundamental detail of the machine, the replacement of antifreeze should be carried out regularly and properly. Timely maintenance of the car will allow to extend its life. In the publication proposed for consideration, information on the intricacies of self-replacement of antifreeze on the Cherry brand vehicles required for this tools are presented, and tips on choosing a high-quality coolant.
Causes of the need to change the coolant
Replacing antifreeze by car, according to the recommendations of specialists, should be carried out regularly and in accordance with the terms specified in the operating instructions for the transport facility. As for cars of the brand Cheri, the replacement of the coolant, according to the tips of manufacturers, should be carried out every 4 years or when 40,000 kilometers of car runs are reached. If you need to replace antifreeze on Cheri, it is better to be guided by the second indicator, since depending on the situation, the intensity of the operation of the machine in different car owners may differ, and therefore the refrigerant used will lose its properties faster.
Causes of antifreeze replacement on Cherry cars
List:
- The use of antifreeze is approached by the end;
- If there are cracks in the expansion tank, the coolant used can flow from the tank, and therefore it will not be able to perform its functions properly;
- When changing the shade of antifreeze, the presence of precipitate, foam, rust in liquid. Such cases take place when replacing poor quality refrigerant. If you do not replace the antifreeze in time, the work of not only the cooling system, but also the vehicle generally;
- When performing any repair work related to the replacement of the motor on the Cherry or cooling system, it is required to replace antifreeze;
- The coolant level in the tank decreased due to overheating of the Cherry motor. With excessive heating of the engine, the refrigerant begins to scream, which leads to the opening of the safety valve and the emission of antifreeze vapors. Thus, the refrigerant level decreases and the cooling system ceases to function properly;
- Disruption of the electric fan in the hot period of time also indicates the need to replace the coolant.
In most cases, car owners do not follow regularly for the deadlines for the replacement of antifreeze by car, therefore, in order to avoid serious breakdowns, attention should be paid to signs indicating the need to change the refrigerant.
Replacing antifreeze on Cheri is required in the presence of one of the factors listed below:
- Disorder of the electric fan;
- Changed the color of the coolant. If the hint of the refrigerant has become faded, muddy;
- When foam, rust, rust, chips, lumps are found in an expansion tank;
- A test was carried out, based on the results of which the need to replace the refrigerant on Cherry was revealed.
Stages of working with replacement
Regardless of which car model, Chery is needed to replace antifreeze, be it Cherie Tiggo, Chery Fora, Cheri Indix, Cherie Kimo, the replacement process itself will not differ significantly. However, this does not mean that the procedure for changing antifreeze, depending on the car model, does not have distinctive features. Attention should be paid to the fact that the engines of cars and their volumes differ, so it is necessary to accommodately approach the choice of refrigerant and carefully study the instructions on the coolant bank. For example, antifreeze for Cherie Kimo C12, Cherry Fora, amulet and other models of this brand may differ.
Variations of antifreeze selection for Cheri:
- Traditional refrigerants;
- Hybrid cooling fluids type G11;
- Carboxylate refrigerants such as G-12, G-12 +;
- Ledok antifreeze G-12 ++, G-13.
- Use the coolant made on the basis of ethylene glycol;
- In the absence of the opportunity to buy the original antifreeze on the Cherry brand car, you should not buy any suitable in the cost of the refrigerant. The acquisition and replacement of poor-quality coolant can seriously harm the car;
- The replacement of antifreeze is carried out exclusively when the vehicle is cooled. Otherwise, when implementing incorrect actions, you can get serious injury;
- The composition of the coolant includes poisoning chemicals, so when working with it should be neat;
- In some cases, antifreeze before the dumping into the expansion tank is required to be dissolved with distilled water, so before filling the refrigerant, read the instructions;
- When starting the car, Cherry engine must close the plug of the expansion tank;
- When replacing antifreeze on Cherry brand cars, it is required to check the density of the drain plugs, as well as the presence of cracks in the expansion tank.
Required during the replacement of antifreeze on the car brand Cherry Tools:
- Coolant (at least seven liters);
- Free tank for collecting the refrigerant used (its volume should be greater than the volume of the expansion tank, which contains refrigerant);
- Rag;
- Funnel;
- Distilled water.
An example of replacing antifreeze on Chery Tiggo T11:
- It is necessary to install a vehicle over a pit or lift;
- Slowly remove the tube from the radiator, and then the plug of the expansion tank;
- To drain the coolant, it is required to substitute the reservoir under the crane of the drain hole of the radiator, which is located on the left side of the radiator below;
- To flush the cooling system, the expansion tank is filled with distilled water and the auto engine starts. When the operating temperature is reached, the motor stops to cool and drain water;
- After cooling the engine of the vehicle, it is necessary to slowly pour antifreeze into the expansion tank to the optimal level located between the rates of minimum and maximum;
- Re-run the car and warm up to the desired temperature. This is required in order to check the presence of leaks in the cooling system. If necessary, add antifreeze into the Expansion Tank Chery Tiggo T11.
Drain and flushing cooling system
To properly implement the antifreeze replacement procedure on the Cherry car, it is required to consistently pass three stages. The process itself does not take away a lot of time, so even a beginner car enthusiast can cope with the replacement of the coolant.
Procedure:
- After familiarizing with all the nuances of the replacement of antifreeze to Chery, it is necessary to establish a vehicle in such a place where you can easily get to the bottom of the car;
- Free container is set under the bottom of the car to collect the coolant used;
- Next, it takes no slowly unscrew the lid of the expansion tank to the refrigerant of the output. The drainage of coolant can be carried out in the following ways: through a drain valve or by disconnecting the lower nozzle. For more convenience, it is recommended to install a car with a slight tilt to the left side. This will allow you to merge all the coolant without a residue;
- At the next step, it is necessary to wash the cooling system. This will make it possible to clean the container from pollution and wash off the protective layer of the refrigerant used. Washing the Cherry car cooling system is carried out by fill in the expansion tank of distilled water. To get the required effect, the car engine starts. The operation is repeated until pure water flows from the expansion tank. It must be remembered that after each attempt it is important to make a cool motor.
Fill new antifreeze
The final stage of the antifreeze replacement procedure will be filling suitable according to the cooling fluid instructions.
Procedure:
- Required drain plugs;
- Through the expansion tank or the upper hole of the radiator, a new antifreeze is poured;
- To check the presence of leaks and check the presence of air traffic jams in the cooling system, you need to start the engine of the vehicle for 10-15 minutes. If necessary, add the coolant, but exclusively when the motor has cooled.
How to check the level?
As is known, antifreeze plays a significant role for the proper functioning of the vehicle. Based on this, it is important not only to change the cooling fluid in a timely manner in a car, but also to regularly check the refrigerant level. In particular, it is important to do with the onset of summer and winter seasons. Regular check of the refrigerant level in Cherry brand vehicles practically eliminates the leakage of the cooling substance or disruption of the cooling system.
The level of antifreeze is considered optimal, in which the coolant is within the limits between the minimum and maximum marks. If the refrigerant will be located at the level of the minimum mark, this may lead to serious consequences for the vehicle (engine overheating of the machine, disruption of the cooling system). If the refrigerant is located at the level of the maximum mark, then with an increase in the temperature of the motor, the cooling fluid under pressure will be bludging from the tank.
If a translucent expansion tank is installed in the car model of the car, then check the level of the coolant is simple enough, since the refrigerant has a bright shade, and on the walls of the tank there are marks indicating the minimum and maximum indicator. In the absence of a car brand in the model, you can check the level of such a tank by unscrewing the radiator lid.
It is important to know that checking the level of antifreeze and the vehicle is carried out strictly with the cooled car engine. First, if the motor is heated, the coolant is expanding and the data after verification will be incorrect. Secondly, when checking the level of refrigerant using a radiator, you can obtain injury, since the hot liquid creates pressure and splashes the hot refrigerant through the neck.
