How to Replace the Coolant in a Volkswagen Polo?
1 Answers
polo's coolant reservoir is located on the left side of the engine. The coolant replacement interval is 60,000 kilometers, and the replacement capacity is 4L. Below are the detailed steps for replacing the coolant: 1. Before replacing the coolant, let the vehicle sit for 30 minutes to prevent burns from the hot coolant: Locate and loosen the coolant drain valve at the bottom of the radiator until all the coolant has completely drained out. 2. Keep the car idling to completely drain the old coolant: Continuously add clean water into the coolant reservoir, allowing it to flush out any remaining coolant in the cooling system. Stop adding water when the flow becomes colorless, indicating that the old coolant has been completely removed. 3. Tighten the drain valve and turn off the engine: Add new coolant into the filler port until it reaches between the minimum and maximum level marks. If you accidentally add too much, start the engine again and let it idle. The air in the cooling system will be expelled, causing the coolant level to drop. Once the coolant level stabilizes, add more coolant until it is between the two marks again.
