How to Replace the Coolant in a Geely King Kong?

The method for replacing the coolant in a Geely King Kong is as follows: When refilling new coolant in a Geely King Kong, you can directly pour 4L of coolant into the reservoir. Stop filling once the liquid level reaches the upper limit marked as "MAX." Then, loosen the drain screw near the upper hose and continue adding coolant. Once coolant starts flowing out from the drain screw, tighten the screw. At this point, the coolant refill is mostly complete. Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leaks or cracks in the pipelines. Pay special attention to the five-way water pipe, which gets its name from the five connections it has to various parts of the car. Coolant flows through this pipe and is distributed to different parts of the vehicle to function. If there are any signs of coolant leakage in this section, replace the hose or reseal the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean 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 may appear slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until the drained water runs clear. Note: Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. After draining for about an hour, add the new coolant through the radiator hose to allow it to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the reservoir until it is nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. As some air is expelled from the cooling system, the coolant level will drop slightly. Top up the coolant until it reaches the maximum mark "MAXT" on the reservoir.

Replacing the coolant in my Geely King Kong is a routine task I often handle myself. The engine must be completely cooled, so I usually choose to start in the morning or after the car has been parked for several hours. Open the hood, carefully unscrew the radiator cap to avoid any hot liquid splashing. Then locate the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator, typically requiring a 14mm wrench to loosen, and use a plastic bucket to catch the old fluid. After draining, for thoroughness, I also unscrew the auxiliary plug near the engine block to release any residual liquid. Next, flush the system: fill the radiator with clean water, run the engine for five minutes, then drain it again, repeating this two or three times until the water runs clear. Once done, replace it with Geely's recommended long-life coolant, mixing 50% coolant and 50% distilled water, filling both the radiator and expansion tank to the brim. Start the car, turn the heater to the highest setting, and let the engine run for about ten minutes to expel any air bubbles. Finally, turn off the engine and let it cool for half an hour before checking the fluid level and topping it up to the midline. The entire process requires patience and attention to detail to prevent leaks and extend engine life.

Changing the antifreeze in a Geely King Kong is super easy, even a novice like me who does it often can handle it effortlessly. First, let the car cool down for at least half a day without moving it. Then locate the small round valve at the bottom of the radiator, usually black, and unscrew it by hand to let the old fluid drain into a basin. Remember not to touch hot parts or spill it on the ground, and clean up properly. Simply pour in new antifreeze directly, buying the ready-mixed type, and fill it up through the radiator’s top filler port. Start the car and let it run for a few minutes, turning up the heater to help bleed air. Finally, check the fluid level and top up a bit to the correct position. The whole job takes about twenty minutes, saving money and reducing trips to the repair shop.

Changing the coolant yourself is the most cost-effective option, saving a lot of expenses. The steps for the Geely King Kong are few and low-risk: wait until the engine is completely cold before starting to ensure personal safety. The radiator drain plug is clearly positioned, use a bucket to catch and recycle the drained fluid to avoid environmental pollution. Purchase universal coolant, which costs just a few dozen yuan, and ensure the cap is tightly sealed before adding. After finishing, check for no leaks to prevent overheating damage to the car. Safety first throughout the process, wear gloves and goggles.

My first coolant change was quite a mess. I checked the manual to locate the drain point, fumbled to unscrew it at the lower right corner of the radiator, and got drenched by the spraying fluid—learned to go slower next time. Forgot to close the valve during flushing, causing a messy spill that took effort to clean up later. Poured new coolant straight to the brim, only to trigger an overheating alarm on the road—turns out I missed bleeding air bubbles. Eventually solved it by running the engine with the heater turned up high. Experience is the best teacher—next time will go much smoother.

Efficient Antifreeze Replacement Tips: Prepare the new mixture before the car cools down. When draining the old fluid, there's no need for multiple flushes—directly add the new fluid to save resources. The Geely King Kong system is designed for convenience; after adding, start the engine and turn the heater to maximum for five minutes to eliminate air bubbles, avoiding antifreeze waste. Choosing a compatible, long-life product can reduce replacement frequency. Ensure all tools are ready and nothing is missed for a one-step completion.
