How many liters of coolant are needed for a Volkswagen CC coolant replacement?
1 Answers
Volkswagen CC requires 4-6 liters of coolant for replacement, generally recommended every 2 years or 40,000 kilometers. Coolant replacement method: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a focus on the five-way hose. The five-way hose is named for its five connections to different parts, and the coolant is distributed to various sections of the car after flowing through it. If there is any coolant leakage in this area, replace the hose or resecure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the channels with clean water. Add water to the coolant reservoir and continue filling until water flows continuously through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. Initially, the water draining from the reservoir will have a faint pink tint. Continue adding water until the outflow is clear. Remember to remove the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After about an hour of draining, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, fill the coolant reservoir with another batch of coolant until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the coolant level will drop. Top it up to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
