Antifreeze - This is a special technical non-freezing fluid, which is designed to cool the working motor motor. Its maximum boiling point is approximately 110 degrees Celsius, which makes it completely stable even in those moments when the car has been in traffic jams for a long time.

In addition to cooling the engine, antifreeze still performs the function of lubricating inner parts and elements, such as pump, preventing the formation of corrosion. Therefore, it is extremely important to monitor the state of antifreeze, and specifically for its color, because it will show when it is time to replace.

It is possible to distinguish the antifreeze according to its notation, since different figures have a different composition, so antifreeze with designation G-11. Refers to a hybrid group (Hybrid, Hybrid Coolnts, Hoat (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology), G-12 and G-12 + to carboxylate ("Carboxylate COOLANTS", OAT (Organic Acid Technology), and G-12 ++ and G-13to flavor antifreeges.

In Solaris domestic assembly this antifreeze is poured

Please note that antifreeze will be safely mixed only if they have the same group and not color, since the last, it is only a dye that does not respond in any way for all the similarity of the coolant. It is strictly forbidden to pour into the tank with the distilled water, since in the summer it can easily boil with ease, which will lead to the complete overheating of the motor, and in the winter, turn off the nozzles so that they can simply break down ..

When to change the coolant?

In the process of replacing antifreeze.

To replace antifreeze on Hyundai Solaris, it is necessary for several reasons:

1. The level of antifreeze in the tank decreased due to the formation of leaks in expansion tank , nozzles or radiator.
2. Service life earlier spoiled antifreeze approached the end , that is, it passed more 3 years from the moment it full replacement. It should be changed only because it significantly reduces the number of useful additives and inhibitors, which can significantly reduce its heat transfer.
3. Periodically opens safety valve In the expansion tank . This suggests that antifreeze is no longer able to perform its own direct function due to its insufficient quantity, or the end of the service life

Verification and replacement of fluid

To check the level of coolant on Hyundai of any model should be regularly, so you can reveal the malfunction in time due to a sudden leakage or another breakdown or otherwise associated with antifreeze.

Find the expansion tank on Hyundai Solaris is not difficult, it is on the right side right on the cooling system fan casing. Checking the level of coolant should be carried out visually by installing the car on a flat surface and only on a cold engine.

View of the expansion tank from the fan side.

Please note that special labels with the name "L" and "F" are installed on the expansion tank, which means Low and Full, which indicates the incomplete and full number of coolant in the system.

The arrow marked the value "F".

Keep in mind the fact that the hot engine antifreeze is under pressure and its level in the tank can be somewhat increased in comparison with its present level. Therefore, to top up the fluid, and even more so it should be replaced only on a cold and fully cooled engine, in order not to get burns.

Pulling antifreeze

Replacing the native antifreeze manufacturer Ravenol.

In order to add coolant, you must first simply get the cover on the expansion tank, pre-cover it with a dense tissue (in order to avoid burns and stains on clothes from possible splashes due to overpressure in the system - approx.)

Told the missing amount of antifreeze just smaller than the "F" mark and wipe the disturbed residues.

Video about how to choose antifreeze correctly

Replacing any operational fluid - This is a standard procedure. Car owners need to regularly monitor the state of lubricants in the vehicle, check the oil, the transmission mixture. On this, the list of the compositions used is not limited. Be sure to worry about replacing the coolant - antifreeze.

I have a fashionable but budgetary machine - Solaris 1.6 liters. The car is convenient, but has a not too powerful engine. However, the cooler uses anyway. In the article, I will tell you what antifreeze to fill in Solaris, and how to choose the product?

In the instructions for the car there are no specific explanations regarding which antifreeze is better to pour into solaris. There are many information about the volume of the system and the principle of the cooler. Specified one important moment - In the car you need to pour the mixture of ethylene glycol concentrated coolers and distillant.

Proportion 1: 1. This option is provided in the overwhelming majority. Nevertheless, for machines of different years from release, a completely different cooler is used:

• Long Life. COOLANT (MS-591-08 specification) - poured into cars collected in Korea;
• antifreeze produced in Russia. Different with low cost.

The original antifreeze is very expensive, so the owners of transport buy it extremely rarely. Some users note that the product is less qualitative than domestic antifreeze. Car manufacturers do not recommend pouring a product that has low specifications. This is

What properties should coolers have?

All types of antifreeze can be divided into several groups. The distribution occurs on the basis of what properties has a specific composition:

• does not freeze in the cold and does not cause corrosion in the motor;
• lubricates the pump;
• does not boil at a temperature of 130-140 degrees Celsius;
• with this product, you can wash the cooling system;
• does not allow forging foam.

All these properties become available through the use of unique additives. There are several antifreeze that are not recommended to fill in the engine, as they can drive serious harm. Especially disastrous compositions in this plan are painted in blue colour. I do not advise you to pour the Soviet Tosol to Solaris, since the car components will come to the end very quickly. From modern, it is not worth pouring a nitrite composition with TL marking.

Original antifreeze for such a car green color. On the package, there are company logos. Color marking - this is very important parameterbut not defining. Through the use of a special dye, you can easily distinguish the liquid of the same class from the other.

Is antifreeze of different brands be mixed?

To combine products of different brands is not worth it, although exceptions are also available. For the topping in small quantities it is worth using distilled or ordinary water. In the future, it is better to completely replace all antifreeze than mixing it with another liquid. Before filling a new cooler, it is recommended to rinse the system by distillate.

The first signal indicating that fluid replacement is required - this is a loss of color. The second point is the conditions of operation. The more significant the temperature, the more fluid evaporates. This means that for vehicles working in difficult conditions, it is necessary to change antifreeze more often. Each car has its own replacement rules, it is important to act strictly according to the instructions.

Replacing antifreeze in Hyundai Solaris - Step-by-step instruction

Immediately before starting the liquid replacement, it is worth examining the location scheme of the appropriate tank. The replacement decision should be taken after a decrease in the cooler level has been established.

When the consumption of more than a liter is 10 thousand km, it indicates a malfunction in the system, and therefore it is time to proceed to replace the product. You need to act like this:

1. Remove the tank cover and radiator cork. Remove the shield protecting the power plant from dirt.
2. Gently unscrew the drain crane, but not to the end. This will reduce the degree of pressure and the volume of the mixture drained. Substitute the capacity under the old antifreeze.
3. When removing antifreeze, check the state of the sealing ring. If it cracked, it must be changed.
4. Remove the remnants of the cooler with a special syringe or sprintsoy pear.
5. Close the crane and make the cooler bay in the tank to the level with the letter "L". Close the plug and start the car.

After replacing the car may appear airlockBut within an hour-two she will leave on their own.

Conclusion

At the end of the submitted review, you can draw conclusions:

1. Each driver must take care that the antifreeze is enough in the system. The composition is required for cooling in DVS and ensuring its full work.
2. For Solaris, it is better to acquire the original antifreeze, but it is very expensive, therefore, much drivers prefer to choose products of domestic production.
3. Antifreeze should not be mixed different manufacturers, as well, to fill the coolers of the old class into the system. Harmful antifreeses are preferably blue.

When buying, you need to know the shade - Color and A type Antifreeze, permissible for the year of release of your Solaris. Manufacturer choose at your discretion. Do not forget - each type of fluid has its own service life.
For example: For Hyundai Solaris (1 generation) 2014 GV, with gasoline or diesel type Engine, suitable - the muffin class of antifreeze, type G12 ++ with shades of red. The approximate period of the next replacement of which will be 7 years. Opportunities, deposit the selected fluid for compliance with the requirements of the vehicle manufacturer specifications and maintenance intervals. It's important to know Each type of fluid is its color. There are rare cases when the type is tinted with different color.
The color of red antifreeze can be from purple to light torus (in green and yellow Tezhe Principles).
Mix liquid from different manufacturers - canIf their types correspond to the mixing conditions. G11 can be mixed with analogs G11 G11 can not be mixed with G12 G11 can be mixed G12 + G11 you can mix G12 ++ G11 can be mixed G13 G12 can be mixed with analogs G12 G12 can not be mixed with G11 G12 can be mixed with G12 + G12 can not be mixed with G12 ++ G12 can not be mixed with G13 G12 +, G12 ++ and G13 can be mixed with each other. 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.

The refrigerant in Hyundai Solaris, like any technological fluid, aging and loses its initial characteristics. But before proceeding to replace, you should choose, in Solaris, and get acquainted with the subtleties of performance.

What antifreeze will fall from the plant?

With the primary refueling of the Hyundai Solaris cooling system, several varieties of refrigerant are used. Initially, the system was created under the use of the original hyundai liquids With Long Life Coolt marking. This antifreeze fully complies with the internal specification of the Hyundai Kia plant MS-591-08. But on the machines russian assembly In order to reduce the cost of cars and increasing the percentage of localization, they began to use liquid with a brand of COOLSTREAM A-110 or CRWN LLC A-110. These antifreeze have a rich dark green color and are supplied to replace under the R9000-AC001H article.

Replacement frequency

The manufacturer installed the first fill of 10 years or 210 thousand km of mileage. But considering complex conditions car operation with a wide range of temperatures ambient, the first shift interval is advisable to reduce up to 3 years or 45 thousand km. Each owner himself chooses a moment when it is necessary to replace antifreeze for the first time on Hyundai Solaris. At the same time, subsequent replacements should be made much more often - every two years or 30 thousand km.

Signs and reasons for urgent replacement

Despite the long resource of the use of fluid, sometimes it is required to be changed early. A sign of the deterioration of the refrigerant state is to change the color, clouding, the appearance of the sediment in the expansion tank. This may be due to the fact that the antifreeze market and oils are not uncomfortable forgery. The falsification product usually quickly loses color or vice versa becomes almost black. Such a liquid must be urgently merged with a multiple flushing of the cooling system.

What kind of pouring?

When performing work at the official dealer, the original liquids of CohoLStream A-110 or CRWN LLC A-110 are poured into the car. A good alternative will be already mentioned Hyundai Long Life Coolant (article 07100-00200 and 07100-00400). In addition to them, you can use any concentrates or finished liquids with the correspondence of G12 +, G12 ++ and G13. Some owners mistakenly believe that the green color of the Korean antifreeze corresponds to a more common "Volkswagen" class G11 and pour such refrigerants into the cooling system. Fill in Solaris antifreeze of the G11 standard or Tosol is categorically prohibited. Do not buy very cheap fluids, because they may be low quality.

Level control and required volume

The maximum capacity of the cooling system of solaris is 5.3 liters.

To control the level of fluid in the system, a translucent expansion tank is used. It is installed directly on the cooling system radiator on the right side. On the front surface of the tank there are two notches with the designations L (Low - low) and F (Full - Full). The volume of fluid in the normal state should be near the top mark. The system will fully cool the engine only at this level. When the amount of fluid drops below the middle, especially below the label L, the refrigerant is added. Only antifreeze of the brand, which is in the system follows. The topping is performed through a special sliding lug, located in the tank neck.

A red circle circled a tank, on the wall visible risks of fluid level

Possible causes of consumption of

During the operation of the car, a slight decrease in the level of fluid is possible. This is due to the fact that the expansion tank of the Hyundai cooling system is not absolutely hermetic and antifreeze can evaporate from it. Significant refrigerant care for a short time signals possible damage Nozzles or radiator. In this case, you need to check the system and repair damaged areas.

In this case, the absence of antifreeze in the engine lubrication system should be monitored. This happens when the sealing gasket is destroyed between the head and the cylinder block. In the presence of fluid in oil, its level will significantly increase in the crankcase and traces of the emulsion will be visible.

How to change the cooling fluid?

The replacement of antifreeze does not require special skills and can be carried out by the owner with their own hands. The work time will take from 30 minutes to an hour and depends on the state of the machine and the owner experience.

Tools and consumables

The cooling system Solaris is arranged in such a way that no tools are in fact for replacement. You can only need span keys to remove protective screens under the engine.

In the process of changing the refrigerant by car 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015 and other years of release, you will need:

• new antifreeze in the required amount;
• distilled water, minimum of 5 liters;
• wide tank for the drain of the old liquid (the volume of the container is at least 5 liters);
• rubber pear or medical syringe with extension;
• ribs for wiping;
• gloves;
• small funnel;
• set of heads or wrench.

How to merge?

The first step of replacing antifreeze is the removal of an old liquid from the system.

On the Solaris for this it is necessary to perform the following actions:

1. Install the car on the horizontal pit or lift and give to cool the engine.
2. Open the filler necks on the radiator and the expansion tank. The neck is mounted on a special tee of the motor and a pipe connected to the radiator. It is necessary to open the neck carefully, since there were cases of laying it from the main building.
3. Wipe the horses covers from dirt. It is unacceptable to enter the contamination on the safety valve in the radiator stopper, since it is fraught with a rupture of the cooling system elements.
4. Remove the additional protective screen of the engine (if you have it on the car).
5. Remove a regular mudguard protection of the left side of the engine compartment.
6. Under the mudguard will be visible the lower part of the radiator with a small drain crane. Substitute the container and unscrew the crane slightly (one and a half or two turns). When manipulating with a crane should not be made of great efforts, since it is possible to break it out or damage the sealing ring.
7. Drain the liquid from the radiator and block. Remains from the expansion tank should be redeemed by a pear or a large medical syringe with a nailed extension tube. The collected refrigerant must be disposed of. To pour it into the sewage system is prohibited.

When draining the fluid, its amount rarely is more than 3.5 liters. The rest of the antifreeze remains inside the cylinder block and heater radiator.

Flushing system

Before filling fresh refrigerant, you can rinse with distilled water, although this procedure is not mandatory. The meaning of flushing consists in a more complete flushing of residues of the old liquid from the system. There are various detergents for radiators and cooling shirts, but their use on modern cars It is advisable only after the repair of the system.

To perform work on Solaris, it is necessary:

1. Close the drain crane, pre-checking the state of the sealing rubber gasket. Torn item is required to replace.
2. Pour through the neck of the radiator distilled water. When pouring, it is necessary to periodically compress the fluid supply nozzles into the radiator, thereby removing air bubbles from the system.
3. After filling the radiator, it is necessary to close it with the lid. Then the water should be pouring into the expansion tank to the level f and close the throat lid.
4. Start the engine for 2-3 minutes, during its operation you need to monitor the water level in the tank.
5. Stop the motor and drain distillate according to the procedure described above.
6. Considering how much fluid remains not fused, the system is washed with water a few times.

How to pour?

After the drain of the old liquid or flushing water, you can proceed to the fill of fresh antifreeze.

To do this, the machine should perform actions:

1. Close the drain crane.
2. Conduct the fill of fresh coolant according to the procedure, identical refueling the system with water for flushing. Antifreeze is poured by 3-4 cm above the marker L.
3. Run the engine and hardly warm it, while the cooling system fan must work at least two or three times. It is necessary to monitor the temperature pointer parameters on the instrument combinations and the amount of liquid in the tank. Sometimes during the primary warming of the unit after filling the fresh refrigerant, the temperature sensor begins to point out the motor overheating, but the fan on the radiator does not turn on. In this situation, you need to activate the heater to the maximum temperature and check which air is supplied to the cabin. The arrival of hot air indicates a breakdown of the fan power supply system, and the cold - to enjoy the system. To remove air, drowned the engine, cool it and open the radiator cork. Then you need to start the unit and air bubbles will come out of the system within a few minutes.
4. After heating the engine, antifreeze should be addressed to the tank to the mark F.
5. Replacement completed. After a few days you need to check the level again. If necessary, the refrigerant agrees to F.

After replacing the liquid, it is necessary to periodically estimate its external state for some time.

Consequences of untimely replacement

Long use of antifreeze leads to the destruction of the components included in its composition. In this case, the formation of precipitation or foam on the refrigerant surface in the expansion tank is possible. These sediments clog the channels for supplying fluid in the block and cylinder head and worsen the engine heat exchange. In addition, they enter different chemical reactions With metal and rubber parts of the cooling system. Often, this leads to the destruction of the elements, the appearance of leaks from the system and even greater clogging.

Example of a tee from the cooling system worn by the old liquid

Cost of replacement

Buying antifreeze type A-110 will cost the car owner at about 900 rubles. per canister 5 liters. If you need a tap, then the container in one liter costs about 200 rubles. Price original antifreeze Hyundai is 1300 rubles. per canister 4 l and 600 rubles. - 2 l. In addition, not less than 15 liters of distilled water, the total value of which will be 150 rubles. The final price of replacing the refrigerant on Hyundai Solaris will be from 1100 to 2100 rubles.

There are rules and regulations for replacement technical fluids Car, there are requirements and to change antifreeze. Replacing the coolant Hyundai Solaris is made according to the requirements of the technical documentation for the car.

The boiling point of the antifreeze is 110 degrees, and it gradually evaporates. Consequently, the more intensive operation of the car, the more often the replacement is required.

Replacing the coolant Hyundai Solaris with its own hands begins with its choice and acquisition. Not every type of antifreeze is suitable for Hyundai Solaris, there are certain requirements for its composition.

You can consult from the official dealer, which coolant is poured into Hyundai Solaris, you can use the general replacement rules. When choosing a brand should not be focused on color, it does not give useful informationand carries only distinctive functions.

The brands vary not only by type of base (mineral, synthetic), but also by additives added to them. Official dealers Recommend to pay attention to the recent factory new items that have an index indicated after the name (G12 ++ and G13).

The basis of them are organic compounds. Mineral inhibitors enhance certain properties and cooling quality.

If these brands seem too expensive, you can choose the factory antifreeze with the G12 + index. This is a high-quality organic, created on the basis of carboxylic acids.

It serves to 5 years. The problem may be the absorption of the liquid in the corrosion places of the engine elements with particle size to 0.1 microns. If after checking the decision is made to change it on a brand with an increased number, it is necessary to make a complete drain.

When to change antifreeze?

According to the general rules established in the technical documentation, the first replacement is carried out:

• after the car ran the first 200 thousand kilometers;
• 10 years after the release of the car from the factory. When applying this rule, it is necessary to take into account that the service life of the original stamps of the cooling fluid can be only 5 years.

After reaching this threshold, the shift should be made more often, every two years or 30 thousand km. Intensive operation of the machine will change these deadlines towards the decline. The temperature sensor of the coolant temperature of Hyundai Solaris also plays a latter role.

Verification and replacement of fluid

On the scheme of the car, you can easily find where the coolant tank is located in Hyundai Solaris. You can make a decision on the need to replace after by checking the cooling fluid level of Hyundai Solaris, the driver will make sure that it is impossible to pull on. If its consumption is more than 1 liter by 10 thousand km, this may indicate faults in the system.

Pulling antifreeze

Nothing difficult in how to change the cooling fluid on Hyundai Solaris, no. First of all, you need to purchase the desired amount of antifreeze. For Solaris, it is 5.3 liters. In addition to the antifreeze itself, it will be necessary to get tanks for draining. The engine before the replacement process must be completely cooled.

The work is further implemented in the following order:

1. It is necessary to get rid of too strong pressure in the system. For this, the tank lid and the radiator stopper is removed.
2. To the left of the motor and a little behind it is a shield that serves to protect power plant From dirt. It must be dismantled.
3. Access to the drain crane, which should be carefully unscrewed, but not to the end, leaving 1-2 turns. This will significantly reduce the intensity of the pressure and the amount of fluid drained. Under the crane should be put the capacity of the required volume.
4. At this stage of work, it may be found that the sealing ring on the crane was deformed, crackled and requires replacement. It is necessary to replace it. Assuming the presence of this risk is better before the process of changing the antifreeze to buy the necessary part according to the appropriate catalog of the articula.
5. After the calculations and volume of filled vessels, almost all antifreeze, the remains of it must be removed using a syringe or a diagonal pear.
6. The tap is spinning and fixed. Next, the coolant bay is carried out in the tank until it reaches the level indicated by the Litera "L".
7. After closing the tank, the car starts the car.

At this point, a fan may unexpectedly, which indicates that the automation distributed the problem. The level of antifreeze fell. The engine stops and the liquid felt up to the desired volume.

The aircraft appeared as a result of this in most cases leaves independently after hours-two operation.

How to choose a cooling fluid correctly?

In the proposed video, you can find out which cooling fluid to fill in Hyundai Solaris. The masters will prompt how to choose the most outgoing composition, based on the conditions and features of operation vehicle. In addition to suitable, you should know which liquid brands cannot be used.
