What are the reasons for rapid coolant consumption?
1 Answers
The reasons for rapid coolant consumption are: 1. Unreasonable cooling system design; 2. Leakage; 3. Poor circulation; 4. Coolant entering the cylinder. The method for replacing coolant is: 1. Open the vehicle's engine hood and locate the coolant reservoir; 2. Open the coolant drain plug under the radiator to drain the old coolant; 3. Add new coolant and tighten the cap. Functions of coolant: 1. Provides anti-corrosion protection for cooling system components; 2. Prevents scale formation and avoids reduced radiator efficiency; 3. Ensures the engine operates within normal temperature ranges. Hazards of not replacing expired coolant: 1. Causes water evaporation in the coolant, altering its freezing point and affecting performance; 2. Fails to provide anti-corrosion and rust removal functions for the engine, impacting engine lifespan; 3. Increases viscosity and reduces cooling efficiency.
