How often should the coolant in Lavida be replaced?
2 Answers
Lavida's coolant should be replaced every 40,000 kilometers. Coolant is an indispensable part of a car's engine, circulating within the engine cooling system to remove excess heat generated during engine operation and dissipate it into the atmosphere, ensuring the engine operates at an optimal temperature. Lavida's onboard navigation system combines touchscreen and knob controls, featuring MP3 playback capability, along with USB, AUX, and SD card expansion slots, making it user-friendly and highly functional. The LCD screen adopts a foldable design. Lavida not only maintains the superior quality of German design but also incorporates aesthetic concepts reflecting traditional Chinese culture and cutting-edge design elements of the era.
As a Volkswagen Lavida owner, I usually perform DIY car maintenance. The coolant is typically replaced every two years or 40,000 kilometers, as recommended by the manufacturer's manual. Failing to replace it on time may lead to engine overheating or even component damage. During each maintenance visit to the 4S shop, the technician checks the coolant level and color. If it appears dark or contains impurities, it should be replaced ahead of schedule. Especially in the summer heat, weakened anti-boiling properties of the coolant can impair heat dissipation—sudden smoke while driving is no fun. I recommend developing a habit of regular checks; it's simple, worry-free, and cost-effective. The cost of replacement is low, so don’t wait until major issues arise to act.
