What does coolant level low mean?
1 Answers
coolant level low means the antifreeze level is too low. It usually indicates an issue with the car engine. Solutions for car engine malfunctions: Read the fault codes, refer to the fault code table for each vehicle model to identify the cause of the fault, and resolve it. If the fault code is correct and the engine can start, inspect the air conditioning valve and its wiring, air ducts, air filter, etc. Functions of car antifreeze: In cold winter, it prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block. In high summer temperatures, it effectively prevents boiling and avoids overheating. Car antifreeze plays a significant role, directly affecting the car's performance and lifespan. Many people think antifreeze is only used in winter, but it should be used year-round. Antifreeze also has anti-corrosion properties. Since the engine's cooling system includes several metals such as steel, aluminum alloy, cast iron, copper, and solder used in radiator welding, the cylinder block and cylinder head are usually made of cast aluminum or cast iron, and the radiator is mainly made of copper and brass, antifreeze must protect all these metals during long-term contact. Using deionized water and appropriate additives can prevent various types of corrosion.
