How to Replace Coolant in Kia K2?
1 Answers
The coolant replacement steps are as follows: 1. Conduct a comprehensive inspection to check for cracks and leakage signs in the pipelines, with special attention to the five-way pipe. Coolant must flow through the five-way pipe before being distributed to different parts of the car to function. 2. Drain the old coolant and flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continuously inject water into the reservoir to allow it to circulate through the engine cooling system. Let the engine idle for 3 to 5 minutes to facilitate water circulation. Initially, the water flowing out from the reservoir will be light pink. Continue injecting clean water until the outflowing water runs clear. Be sure to remove the heater hose and drain all water from the heater core. 3. Allow the new coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. After draining for 1 hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose. Add another container of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the car and let it run for 10 minutes. As the cooling system expels some air, the coolant level will drop. Add more coolant until the level is between the MAX (maximum) and MIN (minimum) marks.
